Yeh its been on TV here for about 2 years now, We also had another version of the show on another station (before the comercial station which currently shows it) which ran for about 3 years before that. So pritty much this format has been around on Aussie TV for about 5 years. How long has it been running over there in the UK?
Way too long, in fairness.
Matron says it's been on since 1994, and it's been the inspiration of al the meals she has cooked for me since. Sadly though, Matron's plastic bag of stuff under a fiver consists of pills... so she has to follow the recipe in colour only. If the recipe calls for a carrot, I get an orange pill.
*sigh*
That said, 12 years of colour inspired pill meals hasn't done me any harm.

Fibble, your photography and your sense of humor are absolutely amazing. I still giggle out loud whenever I think of your WA for "flash photography"
Whythankyouverymuch.
It's funny, when Mrs. Flibble finally noticed my exposure for that WA, she seemed to giggle out quiet. It's like she was mocking me. I think this may have been the moment when my fate was sealed.
*sobs*
How can I regain the favour of the fine Mrs. Flibble?
...hmmm. I need to reassemble myself first methinks.
It's not going to be easy. Maybe I can make use of this celery here...

Truth be told, I had little say in the matter. What Mrs. Flibble does, I must endure. I'm kinda hoping that she doesn't stick some tin foil over me to keep me fresh. I reckon I'd go insane if I couldn't at least glimpse the mayonaise. We've been through a lot the mayo and me...
..but then.. the freash thing... Hmmm... that's a quandry. Fresh or mayo? That'll keep me busy pondering for a while.

After you posted a note on my entry, I went to see your work. Was not at all shocked to see that Mr. Flibble was the photographer who posted this hilarious 'head' shot. Your sense of humor is so refreshing.
Now....off to your website to see what else you've done. I'm sure it's going to be a treat.

You make me laugh and smile from ear to ear. Your current shot as well as your shots from the past are wonderful. Your photographic skills, post processing skills are wonderful but your imagination takes the cake.
Great job!

Careful with the ol' laugh from ear to ear thing, I had to get an extra wide tongue fitted when I attempted this. All went well until I was out in public and licking an ice cream.
It took three years of counselling for some of the kids to recover.

Nice work, very funny! By the way can you confirm that the light does turn off when the door is closed?
Thanks

Well, here's the funny thing. Mrs. Flibble tends to slam the door when she closes the fridge, and rather cruelly, she's positioned me just at the point where the door compartment clocks me a good'n and renders me unconscious. I've yet to be fully conscious with the door closed to answer this particular question.

As always, Fibbs, you demonstrate your mastery of photography and PS. Please forgive me, though, if I'm not in a frame of mind to find this all that amusing.

Endre, forgive my tomfoolery - I mean no disrespect and apologise if I've caused any. The thoughts of Mrs. Flibble and myself are very much with you.

this is funny !!! your expression is the best part of the whole image
...and sadly the one thing I had no control over. You mean... you didn't like the careful placement of the celery? I thought that was masterful. And the eggs? Such careful placement and stacking.
I had no control over the placement of the cabbage, or to be honest, anything out of nose reach. That stuff is just a happy accident.

What a very clean refrigerater Mrs. Flibble. A very good housekeeper she is.
She was top of her class. When she won the regional heats for fridge speed cleaning for the 8th year, I knew she was the woman for me. Her 17.3 second WR in 2001 was magical. The atmosphere in the audience was electric.
So proud.
And now... well. Look what she's done. I need to pull myself together...

This is crazy Great lighting ! Oh, I wonder what will happen when she puts it in the microwave......

...when she puts the fridge in the microwave? I guess the powers of Mrs. Flibble might stretch that far, but that would mean she's developed some kind of T.A.R.D.I.S.
Hmmm... maybe I've underestimated her.
Thatks for the heads up, I'll try to counter her plan.
On Dr Who the tardis was a time, and/or travel device. It was housed in an old English police box....kinda like a big telephone booth. The magic was that the space inside was far larger the space it took up externally. My fav was Tim Baker (as the Dr)
Fibble...we have an expression in the US for a ghastly concoction they sell in stores. It's made of organ meats...including brains...it's call "head cheese". When I see your image...I expect Wallace and Grommit to nick a slice off your cheek and slap it on a cracker...hmmm Might fit into Nic Park's next claymation movie...wonderful image, and composition. Good luck to you, and your dry humor.
I know that, my dear friend Fibs. No need to apologize. Under normal circumstances I'm particularly fond of dark humor. It's just that things aren't quite aren't normal circumstances for me.
*sighs again*
Fond regards,
Endre
