What are ' 'oops '?


What are "'oops " (what Gene Hunt is having for dinner in Episode 1)?

reply

Spaghetti hoops, probably.

Make tea, not war.

That or another way of saying "ups" as in ups and downs. Just kidding, it cracks me up when I here them pronounce it like that.

reply

Spaghetti Hoops, known in America as Spaghetti-O's.

It's probably one of my favourite lines from Gene Hunt. As mentioned, spaghetti hoops :)

Like Spaghetti-O's in the US.

That line cracks me up. Had to look up what hoops were.

After I thought about it, I wondered about where he was going to be eating these hoops. At home? Is the wife making them? (I assumed with his personality he expects her to be a housewife only) Do he & his wife already have a strained relationship so she no longer cooks & he's fending for himself? Or is he eating at the office instead? Does he ever go home (we know in A2A he pretty much lives at the office...)
