To wonder if Mrs. Pontipine really wanted ten children...

[professorsnape]

Is she happy?

She must get only a teeny-weeny bit of time for herself.

How did she even conceive them as look at the state Mr. Pontipine's handlebar moustache!!!

Step away from the night garden

[professorsnape]

my post seems to have come up twice.

is there no end to the multiple births!?

[MrsPlugThePlumber]

eight children.

And they all seem to be the same age....?

[professorsnape]

isn't it ten children?

She's the octomum (plus 2) of the Night Garden

[ThatllDoPig]

Probably had some kind of pact or competition with those other wierdos next door.
At least they won't concieve any more as they all sleep in the same room.

[BelleDameSansMerci]

What about the Wattingers? Won't somebody think of the Watingers...

[WilsonFrickett]

She is the original Octomum, innit?

[MissPenteuth]

I think the ten Pontipines include Mr. And Mrs. Pontipine. So MrsPlug is right.

[professorsnape]

Oh ya, the Wattingers.

Do they have ten children too?

Wait til they all become teenagers. There'll be hell to pay!

[GwendolineMaryLacey]

No, it's only eight. There are ten little Pontipines all in a row...

I want to know what's in the rest of that 3 bed semi they inhabit.

[professorsnape]

Of course sorry MrsPlug

[MrsPlugThePlumber]

Ten little pontipines (includes the parents) - doesn't it?

And why don't they get a new house - it's not like they're short of room to buld in the night garden.

[DontCallMeDragon]

Noo, there's only 8 pontipine children. But I believe she may have been a catholic, (note the red clothing, very reminiscent of the pope) and therefore contraception was out of the window.

Catholicism has a lot to answer for

[MrsPlugThePlumber]

I'm sure SS would have something to say if I decided to raise 8 kids in a one-bed semi...

[HopeEternal]

Just slipping in to tell professorsnape that I've reported the other thread as a duplicate so HQ should be along soon to disappear it.

[MrsPlugThePlumber]

...or anyone else for that matter....

(that last comment made it seem as though I was on their "to watch" list....)

[BelleDameSansMerci]

Hmmm... I bet they've got a new plasma tv and a laptop each too!

[BelleDameSansMerci]

This gardening leave is taking it's toll...

[BelleDameSansMerci]

Its toll... Bloody iPad.

[DontCallMeDragon]

I have a horrible feeling I saw one of the pontipines at the London riots... It may have been a Wattinger though... Nothing but trouble those kids... STOP THEIR BENEFITS AND EVICT THEM!!!

[stealthsquiggle]

I think you'll find that the night garden is an area of outstanding natural beauty or some other such nonsense sensible measure, meaning that they can't get permission to extend (or put in double glazing, or pretty much anything else..)

[MigratingCoconuts]

maybe she enjoys the way the handlebar mostache tickles...and that is how she has ended up pregnant 8 times???

[BelleDameSansMerci]

Maybe Mr Pontipines has more than one handle-bar moustache...?

[BelleDameSansMerci]

Pontipine FFS!
