I think that this will demonstrate the crumpet's sponge-like (yet crispy) qualities.

Ignore the annoying family arguing over breakfast and concentrate on the disc-shaped beige thing on the plate.

thats a crumpet? so its an english muffin, right?

Nooooo. An English Muffin has a texture like an unrisen cake. The crumpet has more of a spongey texture. And holes.

nooooo mooooore crruuuuumpeeeeets!!!! !!!

that sounds gross....i like my bread hard, like my men. thank you.

Crumpets with loads of butter on are like fried bacon. Even if you're the strictest vegan, one whiff and it's like somebodies wanking-off your stomach

As for the actual crumpet advert, am I alone in thinking that the son is hesitant to tell his father of his recent whereabouts because he's been under-age drinking in the local gay bar.

His eyebrows look a little "manicured" if you ask me.

'Use us like a hotel'.

I know how we felt when he said that line. Never a winner.

I swear I'm not a pedophile. That boy is going to be gorgeous when he gets older. I did sound like one didn't I. For the record I don't date anyone under age. Boy, I'm going to get it on this one.

My mum told me that I used the house like a hotel once. Little did she know that I'd actually been in a hotel the night before as I didn't have anywhere to take my "date" (one-night stand). Oh the irony...

If I had been treating my parents house as a hotel, she would have been greeted in the morning by a strange Iraqi brushing his teeth in her bathroom.

After my grandmpa died my grandma got a little odd and for a while she decided that she didn't want the hassle of cooking anymore so she was ONLY going to eat crumpets. So for like 2 weeks she only ate crumpets until she finally grew tired of them.

Oh just move to England - 16 is legal here. Am I being gross??? Anyway, I'm convinced that having a Celine Dion lookalike as his mother is going to have some effect on that guy's formative years. He's basically being raised by a camp icon.

Anyway Miggy - have you partaken of the crumpet experience?

lovemachine said:

awww...cute story...

btw: why is it i was in London for an entire week and never once was offered a crumpet?

sosgemini said:

I think it's a poor man's English muffin of sorts.

My cousin's Grandma didn't want the hassle of mowing her lawn after her husband died, so she poured petrol on it and set it on fire. She was a bit crazy. She painted everything in her home light blue - even her vaccuum cleaner.

I'll poor man you mister!

Crumpets are food of the gods!

I really did start touching myself then!

There is nothing nicer than a crumpet loaded with margerine or butter with a grilled cheese slice on top. Maybe with a dollop of piccalilli on top too.

BinaryJustin said:

I'm still waiting for the next installment of 'Diana and the Gay'. That was genius.

sosgemini said:

You know, I've been to England twice and was never offered one either...

crumpets

Taureau said:

Well, I suppose I need my arse kicking for that but only to some extent. Crumpets seems more common.

BinaryJustin said:

No, I need to be introduced into the whole crumpet experience. I love anything to do with bread so I'm sure I'll love it.

The Celine Dion comment made me laugh!!!! And I do plan to go to England sometime next year. I'm really not an age-ist. As long as they have a nice butt I'm in.

JDINTERACTIVE said:

The 'commonness' of a crumper is determined by the company you share while eating it. The days of me munching through crumpet in a room full of badger-baiting chavs are long gone!

Taureau said:

Yeah but that was like fictitious. I have no idea how to find that thread again.

BinaryJustin said:

That sounds good right about now!!! Mmmmmm.

What the hell is piccalilli?
