Insert default post along the lines of: standard media misogyny, nobody raises an eyebrow when male club chairmen do this all the time, etc, etc, etc.

(and lock thread)

― caitlin (caitlin), Tuesday, 1 March 2005 14:05 (twenty years ago)

Bollocks. I've never seen a male Chairman go on a pitch live on national TV pissed as a newt and call my own customer 'sofftball puttorters'. Top quality wine they serve at carrow Road before kick-off, it seems.

― Dave B (daveb), Tuesday, 1 March 2005 14:07 (twenty years ago)

Although one of the champion gladiators in that arena of menk the BBC comments box has wasted no time in going "back in the kitchen, love".

great

She does look a bit bladdered, doesn't she?

The bbc comments box = ARGH, IDIOTS. all human life must cease on this planet (c) alexNYC.

Is there a transcript of this anywhere?

― Crackity (Crackity Jones), Tuesday, 1 March 2005 14:28 (twenty years ago)

in twenty words or less, who is delia and what is her significance?

tv cook, very good but dumbed down for plebs, likes/is involved with Norwich football club

― Sven Bastard (blueski), Tuesday, 1 March 2005 14:31 (twenty years ago)

Delia Smith is the Chairman of Norwich City Football Club and more famously known as a TV chef and also author of a cookbook which is one of the biggest-selling books ever in the United Kingdom.

Yes, it is embarassing, but oh if all Chairmen had that level of passion for their club...

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Tuesday, 1 March 2005 14:31 (twenty years ago)

'passion' for red wine more like

― Dave B (daveb), Tuesday, 1 March 2005 14:32 (twenty years ago)

ah, ok, i'm with you now. i misread dave's original post to say "queen of cock" and i kept watching and rewatching the video thinking "no way, her?!"

― mark p (Mark P), Tuesday, 1 March 2005 14:33 (twenty years ago)

as a cookstress she is strict and severe and the size of her work surface screams "lebensraum" to me (= i am jealous)

as a foopball figure she brings much-needed character to an ever emblandening corporatised leisure industry

― mark s (mark s), Tuesday, 1 March 2005 14:33 (twenty years ago)

I don't know why dave b is so upset.

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 1 March 2005 14:35 (twenty years ago)

I would imagine he is more amused than upset.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Tuesday, 1 March 2005 14:36 (twenty years ago)

I don't have a very good imagination.

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 1 March 2005 14:39 (twenty years ago)

I heart Delia.

― Masked Gazza, Tuesday, 1 March 2005 14:39 (twenty years ago)

I heart Delia. Her spag bog is the best spag bog you will ever taste.

― Johnney B (Johnney B), Tuesday, 1 March 2005 14:42 (twenty years ago)

Delia "Goes Off" the rails - wasn't aware she was on there to begin with.

Delia's always making a twat of herself, which is very funny for an Ipswich Town fan.

One of my favorites: "I first got into soccer when I watched Britain win the World Cup... in 1966"

― Chewshabadoo (Chewshabadoo), Tuesday, 1 March 2005 14:52 (twenty years ago)

I am not upset at all. It has brightened my day. I am embarassed on her behalf a little, but, hey, she's a grown up. Alledgedly (arf!)

― Dave B (daveb), Tuesday, 1 March 2005 15:03 (twenty years ago)

I can't imagine spag bog.

crosspost

I am embarrassed, on your behalf!!

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 1 March 2005 15:05 (twenty years ago)

I have been told that the City fans started singing 'there's only one Jamie Oliver'

― Dave B (daveb), Tuesday, 1 March 2005 15:59 (twenty years ago)

funnier = "there's only one fanny craddock"

― mark s (mark s), Tuesday, 1 March 2005 16:01 (twenty years ago)

"there's only one fanny craddock and johnny"

― Dadaismus (Dada), Tuesday, 1 March 2005 16:02 (twenty years ago)

Jamie Oliver's name has too many syllabubs in it for that song

― Dadaismus (Dada), Tuesday, 1 March 2005 16:04 (twenty years ago)

Not if you speed them up. It's a squeeze, but doable.

― Dave B (daveb), Tuesday, 1 March 2005 16:05 (twenty years ago)

It offends my sensibilities nonetheless

― Dadaismus (Dada), Tuesday, 1 March 2005 16:07 (twenty years ago)

talksport were laughing at her scream: Let's Be 'Aving You - Come On !

― DJ Martian (djmartian), Tuesday, 1 March 2005 16:08 (twenty years ago)

she must have added extra Sherry to the trifle !

My next recipe is Irish Stew (In the Name of the Law)

― Dadaismus (Dada), Tuesday, 1 March 2005 16:37 (twenty years ago)

"Delia, I'd like to feel your hands upon my chopping board tonight
Good-looking, what have you got cooking
underneath the T.V. kitchen's electric light
You share my name
I'll share your fame
we're just the same
we both like brandy

Delia, I'd like to peel your apron off like you peel that onion skin
Delia, let's make a meal, yeah
Stay with me and we will never thin
I like your eyes
and your chicken pies
oh, realise your perfect recipe with me"

― mark grout (mark grout), Tuesday, 1 March 2005 16:42 (twenty years ago)

i just love her drunken smug smirk at the end of the video clip

― DJ Martian (djmartian), Tuesday, 1 March 2005 16:54 (twenty years ago)

there's a remarkable resemblance to jim davidson

― debden, Tuesday, 1 March 2005 16:59 (twenty years ago)

She keeps drinking like that and she'll end up in the nick-nick. As long as nick-nick doesn't end up her eh?

Sewriously though, she must have woken with a stoinking bought of the Fear this morning. Imagine the dawning realisation that the answer to the qwuestion 'what did I do last night?' is 'become this weeks best email forwarded joke / link and make a tit of yourself on national TV'. Ouch.

― Dave B (daveb), Tuesday, 1 March 2005 17:15 (twenty years ago)

what did she mean?

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 1 March 2005 17:22 (twenty years ago)

that is the only thing that is intriguing about this whole footage.

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 1 March 2005 17:26 (twenty years ago)

She was saying that the crowd were quiet and not getting behind the team and that as the best football supporters in thwe world, they were the twelth man on the team, but not today. Where are you', she cried. Lets be avin you, she shouted.

Carrow Road=Letsby Avenue=you know it makes sense. Get finest Irish Stew ect

― Dave B (daveb), Tuesday, 1 March 2005 17:53 (twenty years ago)

you're under a vest.

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 1 March 2005 17:55 (twenty years ago)

That makes sense now. I thought she meant that Norwich were playing so bad that they really need another guy to actually come on as a 12th man to balance the field.

The ref wouldn't have noticed, he was awful.

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 1 March 2005 17:58 (twenty years ago)

this is doing the rounds..........

Delia Recipe ..?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Saw this on another Board....and
Thought you might be interested in a new Delia recipe just out...
Quote from a Town fan (Blubird):

Ingredients
One tired and emotional TV chef, a free hospitality bar, 24,000 people, a microphone, a rotten football team and absolutely no shame whatsoever.

Follow instructions carefully...

1) Pickle your TV chef for several hours in a melange of whiskey, red wine and white spirit, with a side dish of either beef or salmon.

2) Pre-heat with a tense relegation battle, reaching boiling point just before kick-off.

3) Stir in two early goals to add flavour and raise expectations, taking care to ensure your TV chef is marinading nicely - you'll know by checking the colour of her face against a packet of Walkers Prawn Cocktail crisps if you have some handy. If not, that's a deep pink.

4) After 9-10 minutes of occasional agitation, drop in an away goal to add a little spice. Turn up the heat slightly - you may have to oil your TV chef a little to prevent sticking. Don't be shy with the red wine. She won't be.

5) Leave it bubbling nicely for a further 12 minutes before adding the vital ingredient - another away goal. Turn up to maximum heat and add white spirit, stirring continuously as your TV chef begins to crack.

6) Ignore the smoke alarm and continue to heat until half-time, when you take your well done TV chef out of the oven and serve her whole in front of over 24,000 people.

7) Garnish her with a microphone, serve with a camera and then gorge yourselves as she shouts: "For the best fussball supporters in the world, we need a 12th man. Where are you? Where are you? Let's be 'aving you. Come on!"

P*** yourself laughing.

If it wasnt so painful for you I think you'd say it was funny

― DJ Martian (djmartian), Tuesday, 1 March 2005 18:42 (twenty years ago)

"Only one Gordon Ramsay" would have worked syllabically (?) and made a lot more sense, too.

― David A. (Davant), Tuesday, 1 March 2005 22:20 (twenty years ago)

Also Ramsey has cussed Delia IIRC. Or is it Womble Thompson.

― Masked Gazza, Tuesday, 1 March 2005 22:23 (twenty years ago)

it's called Spag Bol, surely?

― jed_ (jed), Tuesday, 1 March 2005 22:35 (twenty years ago)

I don't think she was drunk, she's just mental.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller), Wednesday, 2 March 2005 11:17 (twenty years ago)

jed OTM

― RJG (RJG), Wednesday, 2 March 2005 11:20 (twenty years ago)

It is spag bol, yes. I guess none of you have ever made a mistake.

Poor delia. Her website is unsurprisingly quiet on the whole affair, although the Recipe of the Day is Banoffee Cheesecake with Toffee Pecan Sauce, which is making me drool, and I may need to have a go at tonight.

― Johnney B (Johnney B), Wednesday, 2 March 2005 11:23 (twenty years ago)

ALL FOUR FOODGROUPS!!

back in the day my studenty friends would always call it spag bog (sadly this used secretly to annoy me)

― mark s (mark s), Wednesday, 2 March 2005 11:25 (twenty years ago)

I'm drooling at the thought of what a drunken Delia might do with that banoffee cheesecake and toffee pecan sauce while shouting "Let's be having you!"

But this is a family show, so I shall desist.

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Wednesday, 2 March 2005 11:28 (twenty years ago)

I mean, just look, how nice is that?

xpost. I mean, A drunken Delia with toffee sauce is not a thought I want to be entertaining at this time in the morning.

― Johnney B (Johnney B), Wednesday, 2 March 2005 11:29 (twenty years ago)

Where's your sense of adventure, lad? I'd gladly be entertained by her at any time!

I hope Green Gartside is not to be seen stumbling down the avenues and alleyways of Dalston come chucking-out time yelling "Let's be having you..."

RJG failed to elaborate further. Delia baked the cake on the cover of Let It Bleed
