It is a load of twaddle and purely there for some lighthearted relief but I am hooked! It is my guilty pleasure! I think I know the answer to my question - I ABU Confused

I've got a recipe for sausage plait from the book and will be trying it next week.

Is it really sad that I am posting here because I don't want this thread to go away?

Flisspaps · 21/04/2011 17:32

Thank god it's not just me. I can't help but watch that bunch of vacuous creosoted botoxed fuckers [bugrin]

cheesesarnie · 21/04/2011 17:34

i hate that i love it.

Megatron · 21/04/2011 17:36

I've just looked at Joey's Twitter page. I feel happy and a little soiled at the same time. I don't think it matters a jot that I can't understand a bloody thing he says.

Once DS is in bed, I'm going to open a bottle of wine and watch last nights! My favourite espisode so far was Arg trying to get on the horse! HILARIOUS!

Champersonice · 21/04/2011 20:52

Megatron, I am with you and, therefore, bumping it back up!

Mark arriving at his engagement party on a horse was my tv highlight of the year so far.

YANBU.

That and Joey shoe shopping, that is.

NettoSuperstar · 21/04/2011 20:58

I looked for the purple nail varnish in Asda and couldn't find the right shadeSad
It was so reem, I must have it.

NettoSuperstar · 21/04/2011 21:00

Oooh, oooh, but I did get puff pastry.
Sausage plait will be made tomorrow.

Ooh Betty we might be neighbours Wink
I am well jel of all the tangoed ladies on TOWIE! Grin
Dreadful show but soooooo addictive...

Champersonice · 21/04/2011 21:10

Netto, you must let me know how it turns out! Bet not as good as Nanna Pat's though Wink

Midnight, true - comedy gold.

How about when Kirk said, "shul up, you're just an extra" to Lauren's friend - brilliant!

Harry doing his Lady Gaga bit had me in stitches.

Booandpops · 21/04/2011 22:35

I'm not ashamed. I want a program dedicated to joey. He is so funny I could watch him all night!!

NettoSuperstar · 21/04/2011 22:45

The funniest bit, apart from Joey, was when Mark said Arg should lick Lydia's arse, and he said he already had.
Now that was comic genius.

I want a whole show dedicated to Joey's shoes!
Short and dumpy, tall and reemGrin

I had a dream last week that I was going out with Mark - his penis was like a wichity grub

TIDDLYMUM · 21/04/2011 22:58

Its the best ever, I love it. Is it just me , but even though they are all only in early twenties, they look about ten-fifteen years older. Must admit to being perturbed about the apparent normality of breast implants amongst them. Not good ;(

NettoSuperstar · 21/04/2011 23:27

I had a sex dream about Mark just before Christmas, and fancied him for ages because of it. He was amazing in the dream.
I've gone off him now as I find him so aggressive every time he's pulled up on a wrong doing.

BabyYoureAFirework · 21/04/2011 23:55

Mark Wright is a cock. And I bet he's shit in bed.

And don't even get me started on Joey Fucking Essex.

Ahhhh I love it Grin

Hatesponge · 21/04/2011 23:59

I think the witchety grub is prob not far wrong, Mark has tiny feet which is usually a BAD SIGN Grin

I heart TOWIE, esp as I grew up around that area! (and used to go to Sugar Hut, before it was called that, back in the days when it was just a pub...)

Arg is brilliant. Lydia is too young for him (and her mum is not a good advert for what she might look like in 30 years time!)

Last night's highlight had to be the smart car. Or possibly the orange uggs.

Megatron · 22/04/2011 09:08

I was dreaming about Joey Essex last night, he was clearing out my shed in his orange Uggs and riding round the garden on my daughters Barbie bike. It was great. I woke up with the idea that I should change my surname to the county I live in, so I will now be Megatron Bedfordshire (or Meg Bed for short). That would be totally reem.

sausagesandmarmelade · 22/04/2011 09:12

LOL...re Joey

When I first saw him on the show trying to impress Lucy I thought...."what an utter prat"....but now I think he's really funny...and quite likeable.

I think he probably pretends to be thicker than he actually is....I mean, wearing shoes 2 sizes smaller? (find that hard to believe) and not knowing who our PM is....hmmmm

Him and Sam suit each other I think...but I wonder if it will last.

lololizzy · 22/04/2011 11:23

ha Hatesponge, yes, Lydia's mum!!! amazing!
