Grandpa in my bastarding pocket

[LoopyLoopsIsNoLongerFestive]

I hate it! If I hear the fricking song "Sunnysands" ever again I'm going to shoot the TV. What is it even about?

For some unfathomable reason DD seems to love it.

I don't like GPIMP either and particularly dislike aunt loretta.

I love it!!! The dses wanted to get their Grampy a shrinking cap for christmas. I had to tell them Amazon don't sell them. I frickin hate zingzillas though.

I positively loathe it too - acting is so wooden, characters badly thought through, Gpa patronising/self-centred arse. The best thing in it is the array of puddings that the mum sometimes displays on the table.
This ranks joint least-favourite-Cbeebies-show alongside Gigglefrickingbiz/Bits&bobs/Buzz&Tell/Kerwhizz.
Loving the Postman Pat/Bob the Builder combo in the morning though, 25 mins of peace :)
In my defence I'm getting over the flu so we've had it on most of the week more than we normally do.

DH & I @tatty very very true

yes its a pile of shite and no mistake. And he really should just but out of Jason's life and let him sort out his own 'problems' - which generally dont exist until grandpa gets involved anyway...Uh!

I am done.

Love the fact the acronym is G PIMP!!!!!

From Likely Lad to Grandpa,

'Not the shrinking cap' I hate this program and want to ram shrunken grandad where Jason bloody mason's sun don't shine!

No no no tabby

Zingzilla's is Ace. Me and ds1 always have a boogie around the living room.

I've never seen it but loving the fact that someone is called Jason Mason!

every time Grandpa shrinks my baby watches in horror, then dissolves into tears.

is he a tamagotchi?

seth awww bless your baby but thats just made me laugh (and wet myself)

Well I think my name says it all?! But please Justin, he's nice and harmless. I like him.
Next up against the wall (in a come the revolution way) are Pippin, all the Cbeebies presenters, Ben 10, Gormiti and just to be left of field "come fly with me". Whilst I know this is for grown ups, the BBC should still be dismantled for this kind of purile rubbish.

I hate it too but I agree with the PP who said they'd rather watch that than bloody Sarah Jane. I can't stand her bloody Mighty Mites show.

Ah, yes. And you will all be far too young to know that James Bolam and, um, Aunty Loretta used to act together in When the boat comes in, many aeons ago. DH thought they are/were married but I'm not sure.

He was fit back then.

It's such American staging. In bloody Southwold (or wherever). And that annoys me all on its own.

Ah yes or maybe the Likely Lads

And I have nominated TattyDevine for quote of the week. Though doubtless it won't win if Joules advertise on MN.

Yes my dad, the grandpa in our pockets, was very "how the mighty have fallen" about James bolam as evidently he was very much a heartthrob in the 60s

YANBU

I don't love GIMP .. it's just a bit naff and luckily dc aren't taken with it

Ben 10 ...seriously??? That is one of the few watchables in my house.

I can't watch something special (and every other programme he is in) because I always picture him as a Krusty the clown type creature who goes off screen and chain smokes, drinks whiskey straight from the bottle, snorts coke... with a prostitue on his lap

It's bloody dreadful isn't it? (Can we send Tatty's quote to Radio Times to use as their listing for it?)

And any normal child would ask his Grandpa if he could have a go on the shrinking cap surely? Instead very bloody time it's: 'Oh, no. Not the shrinking cap again, Grandpa'. Does the boy never learn?

Dora, I see you got to Pippin then...

It always infuriates me that they seem to allow a great many arseholes into their house just to abuse them all. The only one who stands up to them is Grandpa, and even then it's only when he's small.

Part of me wants to say, "if you don't like your wanker neighbour Jason, don't fucking let him in. Grandpa, you're an adult, it's your house too. Send the little shit home if he pisses you off that much."

The only watchable kids programmes are:

Phineas and Ferb
Something Special
Andy and Sid doing the number dances
Spongebob

And Gigglebiz

Mwah ha ha! Pippin was too big for his boots...he had to go! And yes Ben 10 is next!
