Chewing Nuts! Sorry, not Squirrel Nuts, that seems to be a US candy. The retro UK sweet is called Chewing Nuts. And googling that took me down a rabbit hole of discontinued goodies, oh nom!

Deb, one thing that intrigued me was how often, watching him and the group, I had a flash of “wow that reminds me of Mika”! But they went by so quickly I can’t even site them…. Some of the design of a concert, a gesture to the audience, some body language…..did you have that reaction? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CharlotteL Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 I just watched the documentary about Freddie. Very heavy as expected but really really good so thanks for the recommendation and link. Every time I see Brian May and Roger Taylor I just find it so heartbreaking that we get to seem them age but not Freddie. And it makes me quite angry that some of these attitudes are still present today (or even on the rise again) like all those sad coming out stories shouldn't be relatable to people my age and yet they are. This just needs to stop. Now. Yesterday. As for Mika, personally I don't perceive him and Freddie to be very similar. When I watch something about Queen, I'm not reminded of Mika (for once :D). I understand why that might feel different to other people but to me they don't send out the same vibe. The only thing was that Freddie answered questions about his sexuality with "What I am is in my songs". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like one of the “sing it with us” gestures at the end. I wish I could think of the others! OTOH, maybe it was more like—-you know when you’re a kid and have your first crush? And everything makes you think of that person? “All I want to do is think about you “syndrome? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QueenBigFat Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 (edited) Dear MFC, So this morning I saw this great tip about cutting onions and was reading it out loud to Hunny. Me: Listen to this! (Reading): “Chew mint gum while cutting onions and VI-o-la—“ Hunny: (pause): You mean voila? Yep, because, you know, that’s an exotic and obscure term…especially for most MFC folks … Edited December 26, 2023 by QueenBigFat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueenBigFat Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 On 12/18/2023 at 5:45 PM, TinyLove_CJ said: So thanks to @QueenBigFat there's been a little chat here about psychic connections and experiences and there's one that I've experienced today that I can't not share! On the MFC Instagram live today @holdingyourdrink called Mika a 'poptart' (which of course he his and it's a very cute nickname!), I then commented that I love poptarts too but the kind that is an edible breakfast snack! (Michelle says they're bad for you but I disagree, all good things in moderation I say! ) Anyway... After the Live I went to check my emails and got my regular WeRateDogs exclusive message and LOW AND BEHOLD this week's dog is called Poptart! I had to share this because I couldn't believe that I'd see 'Poptart' used as a name again! Mika poptart + puppy Poptart = double adorableness! Ohhhhhhh, CJ—— Today I saw this commercial on the toob. It’s called “who gets you” (which appears to be a theme on MFC), and it’s about a guy whose plant dies….well, here, you can watch it for yourself….. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5vMQ-j0x5o 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually saw a very well known extra large confectionery egg in a local shop about 3 weeks ago, at first I thought it was a joke, maybe some kind of Christmas egg... 😅 But no! I saw it again yesterday and it's definitely an Easter egg! 🙈 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
