about Grandpa In My Pocket?

[LifeIsButtercream]

I probably need a new hobby......

Am being subjected to watching Grandpa In My Pocket with DD, and can't help but wonder......

Why has Grandpa decided to share his shrinking hat abilities with Jason, but not with whatever-his-sisters-name-is? Or, for that matter, his son/daughter (not sure which one he is father of!)

Surely thats a bit sexist - favouring the grandson over grandaughter, or deeming her unworthy of knowing his secret (I'll admit though, she is a bit of a wet lettuce and could do with acting lessons)

And AIBU to be falling about in hysterics now because I've only just realised that the initials of Grandpa In My Pocket are GIMP?

Oh, I seriously need to get out more!

princessroyal, i'm probably worried i might end up like the aunt, and that fuels my dislike, despite the fact that i am not a spinster and don't have purple hair

Princess, your mum would have liked tonights episode, James Bolam had a skintight mouse costume on at one point.

I'm off to find some eye bleach........

But MrsRavel, the men are equally as daft and ridiculous too which neutralizes it in my mind.

You need a new hobby - fortunately its one of the dvd's I can send around to my mum when she has the children - she fancies James Bolam (?) and introduced dd to bloody GIMP!

IMHO Jason is a tad wet lettuce too, I quite like Aunt Loretta myself - game old bird, and I am convinced that Mr Maker is Mr Liker Biker.

New hobby for me to then

i detest that programme... and i get all feminist outraged (it's about the only thing i do get feminist outraged over) about the females in that show... the dippy mother and the insane spinster aunt, very nice view of women...
