to think Thomas is a big blue bellend?

[LaWeaselMys]

"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.

[pigletmania]

Whaaaat has someone been on the old vino lately

[LaWeaselMys]

Oh no! It is always useful when you can use their posessiveness against them though...

I am feeling quite lucky after this thread. It was a major Thomas day today. But we have major 3rd&Bird days and major Something Special days so at least I get to mix up the unbelievable repetition.

[LadyBiscuit]

If I see you, I shall be dragging DS off very fast in the opposite direction. Don't want you putting ideas into his head

[piprabbit]

Toot toot

[LaWeaselMys]

poor pip!

[brightlightsandpromise]

Thankyou for the reference to henry in the tunnel. My DD1 had this on video a good 18 years ago now - my DP and i used to snigger at the bit when he said "im stiff im stiff" said henry - for a while my DP used to use it as his standard seduction, oh the romance

[kreecherlivesupstairs]

Luckily for us, DD was only moderately interested in Thomas.
I'll tell you who is a cock. Bob the bastard builder. She had four or five DVDs of him, all the stories were the same.

[BalloonSlayer]

piprabbit you are not concentrating. Mavis is a Diesel.

Tsk.

You have been humiliating yourself unnecessarily. You did not need to chuff. A haarrrraaagh noise, as if clearing your throat of some particularly stubborn phlegm, would suffice. This comes well within the range of normal noises emitted by pedestrians and should save you from too much attention from passers-by.

Or you could ask to be Devious Diesel, who is, in fact, Lily Savage.

[aStarWithHerOwnWays]

The only good thing about Thomas is the fact that, in the original models-only version, all the people seem to wear a permanent expression of sneery evil. The children look like Nazis watching a mass execution of bunny rabbits.

[UpSinceCrapOClock]

Oh god, YANBU - ds is Thomas obsessed.

And speaking of obsession - what is with the Fat Controller and 'confusion and delay'. Always bloody harping on about the engines causing confusion and delay...

Your thread title did make me laugh out loud too :o

[BalloonSlayer]

[bupcakesandcunting]

YANBU he's such a goody two shoes and us as dull as fuckery.

Devious Diesel is much more my cup
of tea.

[bupcakesandcunting]

Just saw Tether's "fat cunt" post. Tea all over keyboard.

[LadyBiscuit]

Did anyone see that Children in Need video that Peter Kay did the other year and the Fat Controller is just shoving cakes and pies down his gob the entire way through the song? It was brilliant

But then the Fat Controller did rescue Toby from the scrapyard so he's not all bad

[pinkhebe]

toby was my favourite

[FoundWanting]

Toby was my favourite, too pinkhebe because he wasn't in many episodes. So, when DS1 asked me to watch Thomas with him, I could say, "Only if Toby's in it."

It is many years since I have had to watch Thomas, but I discovered recently that hearing the theme tune still has the power to fuse my vetebrae together.

[MrsChemist]

I watched misty island a while back and I just found if incredibly sinister.
If you're naughty, you get sent away and ignored forever.
Also, Thomas' "you can and will do it because I said so and I'm never wrong" attitude makes me want to jump into the telly and slap the shit out of him with a mallet.

[GothAnneGeddes]

This thread is fantastic. My Mum never approved of Thomas when we were children due to the lack of female engines (Annia and Clarabel don't count).

According to this, Henry's had a bit of a hard life, it's like something in a Catherine Cookson

[LadyBiscuit]

MrsChemist: 'I make good decisions, I make good decisions ...'

No you don't, that was a really stupid idea wanting to be taken on the back of the boat on a sodding raft, you arrogant twat

[eden263]

Both my DS were Thomas mad, so I suffered it for years. When I found my 'surprise' baby was going to be a DD, I thought I would at least be spared this time around, but no. Somehow she, too, without ever having seen it on telly, is obsessed, to the extent that I have to dress her in boys' clothes & footwear as there are no girls' Thomas togs. Every day, every night, every book she ever wants me to read to her is some bloody sanctimonious Thomas story!

sigh

But, on the bright side, at least she's sparing me from My Little Pony, Hannah Montana etc..

[piprabbit]

I know Mavis is a Diesel.
I know they don't chuff or have linking rods between their wheels.

But DS will not be swayed, Mavis does the full steamy fandango.

Sometimes we have to 'cling on', which means I hold DS's hood, or he holds my coat and we travel in tandem.

I just want to be the mummy out of the Alfie books .

[piprabbit]

at the misery-porn details of Henry's sad existence.

Bricking an engine in a tunnel...

[BalloonSlayer]

arf at Mavis doing the full steamy fandango.

Isn't it Daisy the Diesel that's the sexy one? The one with the eyelashes and the stripper music? I love it when DH has to read the book where she arrives and goes "oooo-oooh, oooo-oooh" in sexy feminine tones.

[bupcakesandcunting]

Piprabbit, you have my sympathies. DS makes me do exactly this type of thing, replete with chuffing arms, and the other day he insisted that I join him in pretending to be Gordon whilst in HMV whilst a very attractive Gerard Butler-ish man looked on laughing The. Shame.
