To think pando is a precocious little shit

Amma seems to really pander to Pando.

She lets him do whatever he wants, never encourages to him to share or wait his turn but instead indulges his behaviour with that sickening smile.

He would be the type of kid you would detest having for a play date

Can you guess what I'm watching right now HmmGrin

Flavia just don't pick in the geese. DS loves geese

SleepingStandingUp Grin I will make a note never to cross you Wink

The one with the shoplifting pisses me off. Even if you're a calm parent you should be raging that your kid nicked a lollipop from the shop! But instead, Bing gets a calm lecture and gets to keep his carrot muffin.

I heard Mark Rylance who voices Flop doing Desert Island Discs. He sounds like a nice dad type in real life too.

SleepingStandingUp · 17/01/2018 17:47

FlaviaAlbia I would call that karma. Poor Goose.

MiddleClassProblem · 17/01/2018 17:15

They were sparkly shoes too! Could just check those in the wash!

WhyamIBoredathome · 17/01/2018 16:50

I got the rage at the episode where Bing puts Sula's shoe in the toilet and Flop is so bloody reasonable about it.
Sorry, but Bing needed a massive bollocking, don't they know how much kids shoes cost?!?!

pestov · 17/01/2018 16:49

Pando is a Dick. Like when he repeatedly fills in Bing's unfinished hole. I was very disappointed with my family when DD got two of him for Christmas and no Bing!

HottySnanky · 17/01/2018 16:11

Flop gives me the rage as well... because he's so patient and laid back and reasonable and so...so... just so bloody Radio Four about everything, he throws all my own parenting shortcomings into sharp relief and I hate him for it. He must be on drugs. He MUST be. We never hear him mutter "Fucksake" under his breath when he's fetching the hoover or cleaning up another mess or reasoning with whiny-Bing-whingebag... argh.

FlaviaAlbia · 17/01/2018 15:39

Tbf the goose could do some serious damage to Flop if it thought he was a sack of bird food Grin

SleepingStandingUp · 17/01/2018 15:24

Music episode, poor Bung fell over. It wasn't wilful damage so not sure why he doesn't get an instrument.

Duck episode annoys me. Don't bang at the goose you hoodlum

MiddleClassProblem · 17/01/2018 14:41

It’s when you hear the dreaded episode title “Butterfly”.

But I hate Padget. She’s too busy giggling around Flop to parent. Stop pushing the swing! When Pando gets into Bing’s bed and falls asleep, don’t sit giggling on the sofa waiting for your glass of wine saying he’ll have to stay over, go get your kid and put him in his own bed. And stop twirling around the garden trying to look all limber.

I don’t recall Amma doing much wrong. She’s the only one with a firm hand.

Purplejuice · 17/01/2018 14:10

I’m so glad I’m not the only one who got the rage at the swing episode. I was shouting at the tv! Pando is definitely the most annoying. Coco is a close second-she’s so bossy! I actually like sula but the ‘he’s okay!’ In the opening credits makes me angry! Flop manages to calm me down though with his soothing voice and tolerant ways. (Until he declares something is ‘a bing thing’ when it’s just a normal thing!)

I've seen the swing episode but the one that triggered this post was the music episode.

She knew Bing wanted the drum but she made sure pando got them first.

When bing breaks the drum and hands over his instrument to sula as an apology, wouldn't the adult thing be to hand over your own instrument instead of sitting there carrying on whilst one child sits at the sidelines all sad?

I hate Pando with a passion. Little fucker. So rude and oblivious.
I feel better for typing that.

SpoonfulOfJam · 17/01/2018 12:50

I really like Bing, the programme. It's so gentle and mind numbing, I can totally zone out into a sort of half asleep state.

SleepingStandingUp · 17/01/2018 12:16

I think Cuppa has it

FlaviaAlbia · 17/01/2018 10:46

It's not Pando's fault. It's Padgett. She's the kind of parent you cross the road to avoid.

She's so wet, not only the swing episode, the one where he falls asleep in Bing's bed and she decides they're having a sleepover without being asked...

Maccapacca88 · 17/01/2018 10:45

Bing is "Bing the bastard" in our house since he murdered a butterfly. I think Flop really needs to consider getting him some counselling before he turns into a serial killer.

CuppaSarah · 17/01/2018 10:41

I think Pando is Padgets nephew, but her sister has some kind of issues and Pando was put into her care. Hence why she panders to everything and has no idea of discipline. She feels guilty for all Pando has been through and for the secret resentment she has for him.

Or to keep it simple. She panders to the Panda! Grin

barefoofdoctor · 17/01/2018 10:22

That swing episode makes me grind my teeth in fuckedoffness at the spineless 'adults'. There is also a complete lack of basic manners and shite grammar and 'balloons they are a Bing thing'? No they fucking aren't. That programme has made me sweary and angry just thinking about it.

Bedsox · 17/01/2018 10:20

Sleeping GrinGrin true

HottySnanky · 17/01/2018 10:14

Yes, Pando is one of those "spirited" kids and just runs rings round Padget because she is wetter than a duck's bottom. And keep your sodding trousers on ya wee shite!
