to think the Wiggles are quite

[2shoescreepingthroughblood]

odd?

My DS loved them but I haven't seen them for years. I used to think one of them was quite nice...

My DS is terrified of them [hshock]

I'm not.

I bet they don't give a monkeys what they look like.

They're minted!

We went to see them on tour.

Was a bit funny watching 4 millionaires dancing and leaping around on stage for the amusement of a load of 4yos.

(PS I would do Anthony.)

(Y'know, if I had to
)

Apparently they earn more per year than Kylie.

I confessed on Chat to the blue Wiggle being one of my secret crushes. I'm so glad I'm not the only one.

You have to give them some credit though. Most are trained teachers. They refuse to be spokesmen for any junk food etc and they filled a necessary gap in the market.

The best thing is that now Lowes (think m&co for men) stock skivvies in all the wiggles colours so you never need think of an idea for a costume party!

PMSL at Bucharest an the post-modern and ironic trousers.

OMG Captain Feathersword - used to really, really annoy me. I never understood just what was the point in him

Same with Dorothy the Dinosaur really, just wtf really? The car was good though, the big red car

anyone had to endure familiar with The Singing Kettle?
All together now "Spout, Handle, Lid of Metal,
What's inside the Singing Kettle?"

I love The Wiggles :o

DD fell for them when she was nearly 2 (nearly 12 now) - I joined their online fan club/board in 2000 and made some brilliant friends.
Won "A Tea Party With The Wiggles" in 2004 ish and won my DD's eternal love & gratitude (except that she looks at me blankly now and says did we go?)
We saw them in 2001 and MET them backstage, Paul Paddick (Captain) is phwoargeous and Ant & Murray were adorable too.

We met them in Brent Cross and of course the tea party and when I last saw them in Brighton, the blue one, Anthony said "Hi QOD" from the stage (I was actually very embarassed as I was obviously aquiring stalker status LMAO
AAAAh we had a great time, good clean fun, good clean fans, good clean message boards.

star trek convention

Greg got struck down with a debilitating illness didn't he? I saw a doco where he was talking about his vast collection of Elvis merchandise...it was pretty fucking ace.

My favourite is the fruity one who has the eyes of a sociopath...and Anfernee is a bit of a one.

Are they on any of the TV channels at the moment?

DC1 loved them as did DC2 but DC3 has only seen them in passing and I am sure he would enjoy them to. Though he does luuurve the Imagination Movers.

Anferneeeee was Aust Bachelor of the Year in 1999.

Our wiggly days are past thank goodness but we still have all the videos/DVDs, and even the rare first CD featuring the fifth wiggle....

DS was obsessed for a while, and we happened to visit Sydney once when one of the Darling Harbour monorails was done out in a Wiggles theme - Dorothy the Dinosaur & co all over the outside, top Wiggles hits playing on loop inside the carriages - we must have spent several hours on that train in the space of a few days, and I was going crazy by the end of it.

There was a brilliant spoof story about the Wiggles breaking up a few years ago - the original blog it came from seems to have disappeared, but there's a copy of it here.

I couldn't stand them initially but have grown strangely fond of them. They do have a way of getting under your skin.

Anyway, this thread has reminded me of a drunken conversation with DH a couple of months back - "if you had to shag a wiggle..." Oh how we laughed.
DH was sure I'd go for Sam but it were Anthony

Oh yes, Anthony is definitely the hottest one best singer...

I once spent a couple of hours in a Sydney restaurant trying not to stare at him at the next table (and this was before I had children).

what happened to the 5th wiggle?

He chose musical integrity over hot potatoes and singing dinosaurs and is now bitter and poor a classical musician. Story about him here.

Odd yes, but we love them in our house. We went to see them in Southampton this summer and they were fab. It was a small venue, and the wiggles came into the audience and greeted each child there. Made my DS feel very special.

And I love the new yellow wiggle!

I liked them when they were the Cockroaches, but I was only 12

var odd

We love them here - yes odd but still brilliant - imo! Murray is my favourite. I have a photo of him playing the cardboard guitar I made for DS for the concert this year - yes that is very embarrassing and really should have namechanged!
