We wait a socially acceptable amount of time before reminding the judges.

I think the Aussie's vote each other off and evict someone.

When do we start our next task ? we cannot leave it too long if it has to be in by Monday!

Bit upset really I had my vote already to go

You call dessert "dessert". You call the pudding course "pudding" of course.

I have in my kitchen an old print of "The Burgomaster's Dessert" by George Lance who's mother (aptly for our little task) was a Constable of Burton Constable Hall near Hull) which illustrates, err, a desserthttp://images.artnet.com/WebServices/picture.aspx?date as well as a parrot - he'd perhaps make a nice starter?

(Sits back smiling ruefully in smug English superiority mode.)

Let us be honest here a vanilla slice is a Bun!

Silly Auusies!! not only do they not grasp our language they live like peasants who class a 3 course meal as a sausage roll, a bun and a bottle of beer.....simply no class

Couple of days to evict someone, then we'll start task 2. I've pm'd the judges the menus, so hopefully we'll have a result soonish.

While we wait... WiH - what if a word which originally meant one thing comes, through common usage, to mean something else? I'm not sure an Academie Francaisesque attitude adequately acknowledges the way in which language evolves.

Like "smash it", you mean? If I had a quid for every time that phrase popped up on the X Factor this weekend, I'd have enough cash for a Rovers ladies hoodie modelled by Krissy. And Kelly Rowland (in my head I pronounce it Row-Land like that girl on Grange Hill who was friends with the rather rotund Roland) is always saying "Bring it". I don't think either of these "evolutions" in language are to be condoned, personally.

Like 'sick'...which now apparently means great...I could go on

The only 'smash it' I've come across is the one that cost Richard Keys his job. 'Gay' is an obvious example. Evolution doesn't care if it is condoned. The dinosaurs never called cake and custard 'dessert' - but where are they now?

Why you asking us where the dinosaurs have gone, your the scientist!
Tell me what kind of scientist are you ? (not being rude but I have conjured up visions of the tetley tea men
Technically I am considered a social scientist (from my last degree), defiantly do not feel like one though

I'm a scientist too, always 'experimenting'.

How silly would we feel if beaten by a menu that included a ketchup doused sausage roll?

Evolution isn't always brilliant though, is it? We've evolved into a nation that spends 6 hours a weekend watching Reality tv. Apart from the dinosaurs amongst us, obviously.

I quite liked Ken's snot block.
