"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.

Hmm

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

ashamedandconfused · 31/01/2011 19:24

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! Wink

Its been one of those days has it?

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.

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! Grin)

LaWeaselMys · 31/01/2011 19:28

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?

They are always paranoid about losing passengers/customers

Drives me fucknutty

LaWeaselMys · 31/01/2011 19:29

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.

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

LaWeaselMys · 31/01/2011 19:35

Hmm 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 · 31/01/2011 19:37

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

falsemessageoflethargy · 31/01/2011 19:39

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 · 31/01/2011 19:39

YANBU! Grin

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

bettybosseye · 31/01/2011 19:40

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

Shewhoshallnotbenamed · 31/01/2011 19:40

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! Wink

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 · 31/01/2011 19:41

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

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 · 31/01/2011 19:45

childish but ver' ver' funny

TrollyMcTrollPants · 31/01/2011 19:47

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...

YANBU!

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