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

Joey! Joey! Joey! He is THE best thing on TV though I love Chloe too. And Lydia. And Mick. And Amy.

Can anyone explain to me why I talk like them in my head when I'm watching this. And I'm Scottish.

caramelwaffle · 26/04/2011 19:04

30?!

Gemma?!

However they all look at least 10-15 years older than they are (except Lydia who looks about 3-4 years older)

How about when Mark's mum (aka Ratface!) said, "and Mark, what about when we were in the Indian restaurant and I had to move so that Lauren could sit next to you. I mean, I am your mum...and I'm not jealous of Lauren" hahahahaha yeah, right!

I also had to laugh at the Arg/Jessica duet at the 'engagement' party!!

I just love very scene of this trash Grin

I want to watch it now. When is it on next? Because I never seem to see an episode at the right time, only repeats.

I really want it to be real. Whenever I talk about it at work, they look at me like this Hmm

I think Mick's hilarious after saying last week he just wants a "normal girl, nothing over the top"

And now he's after Chloe! Hmm Grin

Choca, that is exactly what I was thinking!

Chloe seems like a nice enough girl but her boat race and that mouth?!

I can't wait for tomorrow night and the next installment!!

I have it on good authority (her Twitter page) that Lydia's purple nails are 'Me, Me, Me' in Generous. You can get it at Superdrug for four pounds something.

b1uebells · 27/04/2011 07:13

Anyone else think Arg is wearing a fat suit in some scenes? Doesn't appear to be every scene, but it seemed very visible when he was on the horse and yesterday when they were filming some new scenes. Only appears to be thighs and stomach... Anyone else agree?!

NettoSuperstar · 27/04/2011 12:11

Superdrug you say?
I shall go there tomorrow.
I neeeeed that purple colour.

I've not made the sausage plait yet, but actually if I get some sausages out now I could do it tonight.

My mate reckons Arg is wearing a fat suit...he just looks a plonker whatever he is wearing tbh. He walks like, sorry, make that stomps like a stroppy teenager and he stoops over. Perhaps a bit like neanderthal man!!

OP posts:
NettoSuperstar · 27/04/2011 14:49

Yes, that's the one.

I'll see if I can get it tomorrow and if not I'll go for the most similar. Barry M have a similar one and I know SD here stock that range as I have a few shades.
I'm beginning to get obsessed over this nail varnish[cblush]

I don't think Arg wears a fat suit, he's just a bit fat!

stabiliser15 · 27/04/2011 18:07

I love it despite it being utterly cringe-inducing TV.

Apparently there is a so-called posh version of it called "Made in Chelsea" soon to start too.

NettoSuperstar · 27/04/2011 21:51

I made the sausage plait, it was fab.
I took a photo and will attempt to post it tomorrow.

Booandpops · 27/04/2011 23:29

Over the fact mark was getting jel tonight over everthing

Women's place is in the kitchin :)

NettoSuperstar · 27/04/2011 23:34

OMG, e-bay have the t shirts!

I want one of those too now.

I loved Kirk wrapped in clingfilm, and just the existence of Joey makes me laugh. I love him[cgrin]

Mmmm looks delish, Netto! It would have been better if you had cut it and taken another photo haha Wink even better, if you were holding it with that purple nail varnish!!

Netto, unrelated but what on earth happened to your arm??? Pic looks awful for your poor arm Sad

OP posts:
NettoSuperstar · 28/04/2011 14:20

Oh, I didn't think to take another photo with it cut, I have leftovers and will attempt a photo of the inside in a bit!

I have the nail varnish!
Not the exact one but similar enough. It's a Miss Sporty one.

I have asthma and had to get a million blood gasses done which left all the bruising.
