Mad As Cheese ..?

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

It's a UK expression, innit?

I've just used it in a PM with a Mainlander and I'm sure I'll be asked what it means. To be prefectly honest, I haven't a clue. I've always just thought it's totally surreal. I've never detected any psychosis in any of the Edam, Gouda or Mature Cheddar I buy at Morrisons, so any assistance is appreciated.

Ta muchley. :notworthy:

What? Like blue veined Stilton? And can I dry it out and smoke it? Before The Worlds Greatest Living Belgian calls my bluff? :wink:

Yes Claire ... but what does it mean? Where's a d00mie when you need one? I'm sure she introduced it to the forum so I'll blame her. :wink: 8)

I still can't read this thread in it's entirety without laughing my bollox off. Nice. Innit. :lol:

If you have to tell people that your own thread is actually quite funny, start changing your ID again, Johnny me lad :twisted:

And you can smoke the cheese, the biscuits, the salmon AND banana leaves AFAIC, If you want, I'll send over some fine packets of Belgian Tigra, only used once ;)

(you really should try to stop, Johnny, it makes you feel rather good ;) )

I've never heard of it.
The only "Mad as..." phrases I've heard of are "Mad as a lorry" and "Mad as a bottle of chips".

Mad as a Hatter. Mad as a March hare. Mad dogs and Englishmen... Never heard any of the others before.

And Blue Stilton is just one of the many attractions of visiting my parents. :notworthy:

Only familiar with Francis' March hare and hatter, is cheese in any way madder than those two :D ?
It hasn't got anything to do with the Dutch, does it ;D :?:

Anyway, as long as you bring loads of Stilton to Tilburg, you won't hear me complaining, it's about my favorite cheese :lol: (Shropshire Blue would do too :innocent: )

:!: :?: You may be right Mr Quiff. But whatever it is, and re-reading through this thread, I think it's universally agreed that it's, ummm ...mad. 8)
