to think Thomas is a big blue bellend?

[LaWeaselMys]

"Why don't you do something useful like me?"
"Blue is the only colour for a useful engine!"
"Number One always goes first!"

Sod. Off.

I love thomas, it was my fav programme as a kid. Is a bit sexist though.

[ashamedandconfused]

Thomas is very good at "morals" IMO - those that brag often get taken down a peg or two, etc etc

Though many of the trains on Sodor are rather conceited! James is pretty smarmy and up his own arse!

[Memoo]

Its been one of those days has it?

[itssnotfunny]

I think he is a toss pot also and has had his day, time to let chuggington take their rightful place at the top now - its modern times now.

[Adair]

Ha ha, ds has that toy and actually came on to the thread to share his twatty phrases. 100% with you! (and I always tell him to eff off too! )

[LaWeaselMys]

Memoo - emphatically, Yes.

Thomas is okay in small doses but I have had either the show or the stupid talking pushalong toy all day with ailing toddler in a cold house, and I am going mad!

None of them engines are particularly likeable are they?

[chibi]

They are always paranoid about losing passengers/customers

Drives me fucknutty

[LaWeaselMys]

Yes - Chuggington is so much better! But they don't have steam so are not good enough apparently.

I blame RL Thomas at the railway.

[Rollmops]

OP, what a fascinating life you must lead....
Or, on a second thought, perhaps you should get one?
Life, that is.

[LaWeaselMys]

What's wrong with being annoyed about an arrogant talking engine my DD is obsessed with?

It's hardly the most trivial thing ever discussed on MN.

[itssnotfunny]

Old puffer pete is a steam train on chuggington. Steam trains are over rated imho.

[falsemessageoflethargy]

Thread title made me laugh.

Just thought I'd share that - I've nowt useful to contribute to the thread as we've never been thomas obsessed in this house - they are quite hard to read though.

[Threelittleducks]

YANBU!

I detest Thomas.
It is sexist.
And pisses me off!!

[bettybosseye]

I'm with you OP, that great fecking smug blue engine does my napper in!
Rollmops- have you had a bad day yourself?

[Shewhoshallnotbenamed]

OP - so, so funny! That has to be one of the best AIBU titles I have read yet!

I don't have a DS so have avoided Thomas although, Lazytown has a tendency to make me spout irrational hatred in it's general direction!

Stephanie needs a slap - end of!

Don't get me started on Hannah Mon-bleeding-tanna.


YANBU

ps - not quite sure there was a need for such vitriol, Rollmops, on an obviously light-hearted thread [erm]

[Shewhoshallnotbenamed]

*doh - not [erm]....when will I learn!

Oh no, sorry that was Gordon

my bad

[catinthehat2]

[bettybosseye]

For me the most teeth itchingly irritation has to be bloody sarajane from mighty mites. Her patronising sueeky excuse for a voice is excruciating!

[Shewhoshallnotbenamed]

childish but ver' ver' funny

[TrollyMcTrollPants]

Agree about Thomas, used to watch it constantly with DS1 until he got freaked out by Henry getting walled up in the tunnel.

I can cope with LazyTown all day long. Watching Sportacus in all his supply glory gives me a warm fuzzy feeling inside...

[LemonDifficult]

YANBU!

It is misogynistic, sanctimonious twattery. Can't stand all that stuff about being useful. Ick. Like a sort of Calvinistic/Socialite propaganda pamphlet.
