...the (most fecking boring) tank engine (in the world)?

I know he's a good example for kids, and little boys LOVE him and have done for years, but he does my tits in. Goody friggin twoshoes.

I quite like Chuggington, Timmy Time, Peppa. Also hate Balamory and that new shite the same company have put out, can't remember what you call it.

I hate Abney and Teal. And everything's Rosie. And that stupid smile thing with the pandas on the bikes. We have defected to Nick jr most the time now

travellingwilbury · 10/11/2011 20:21

I too hated Thomas , it will pass .

Actually it wasn't so much stupid Thomas I hated it was having to also memorise 100 other stupid frigging trains as well .

ExquisiteCake · 10/11/2011 20:21

Little girls love him too.

I did.

ChocolateBiscuitCake · 10/11/2011 20:21

I also hate Thomas...I have 2 DS and have never shown them an episode = they don't give a monkies about him either! Much prefer Peppa and Ben & Holly!

MonsterBookOfTysons · 10/11/2011 20:21

Shock Thomas is brilliant. My ds and dd love it and me
I love Pingu! He has a sense of humour that Penguin Grin

I want to kill Thomas dead. The stupid fecker should just listen in the first place and none of that rubbish would happen. My DNephew watches it over and over and over, it drives me mental.
Thank god I have a DD and can watch Peppa with her :)

travellingwilbury · 10/11/2011 20:24

The Thomas days out at steam train places are pretty good though , if a bit bloody expensive .

pictish · 10/11/2011 20:25

Oh yes...and I am sick to death of potato faced Justin Fletcher.
Yes, he's very good yadda yadda yadda...but he is never fucking off cbeebies! Every time I switch it on, there he is twitching and wobbling away....same fucking character every part he plays! ENOUGH ALREADY!

mrsmaltesers · 10/11/2011 20:26

I agree. Hate him too with a passion. Wuld like to punch his smug sanctimonious face severa times

There will always be a big place in my heart for andy pandy. (the tom conti narrated version).

MonsterBookOfTysons · 10/11/2011 20:26

Pingu lovers you should watch you tube! Someone has put their own narration on there with a few of the episodes. Very sweary but funny!

You should try Trains-formers instead. DS2 is a big fan.

storminabuttercup · 10/11/2011 20:28

Ive never seen Thomas, it's always fireman sam in this house! Ds will have a welsh accent when he starts talking!

weblette · 10/11/2011 20:28

I can't stand the new Thomas stuff, much more old school here. Ringo, Ringo come back!!!!!

Sirzy · 10/11/2011 20:28

Thomas is amazing. Much better than some of the other newer rubbish on TV for children thats for sure.

DamnBamboo · 10/11/2011 20:29

Pingu is a little sod.
So is Pinga.

Love 'em

Grainger · 10/11/2011 20:30

LOL Stranded bear..

I used to hate Justin too, but don't anymore. He must be making a fortune (if anyone truly can make a fortune in his type of job).

The panda thing is fecking atrocious. Can't stand Octonaughts... what are they supposed to be?? Zing zillas is awful as are the tweenies, and that stupid twat with the swizzle sticks (they are fecking crayons!!!).

That new show Mike the Knight isn't bad (have seen it 50 times and it's only be on 2 weeks...)

But back to Thomas... "Bust my buffers!". Who talks like that? I know, most of us don't have buffers (ignoring muffin top)...

Pictish

I have laughed out loud at a twitching and wobbling Justin.

And it's so true

A friend of mine's DS is big into Thomas too and she was looking at some Thomas vests in a shop when another young boy came up to them and said to her DS "I like Thomas too! Look - I have thomas pants on!" and took down his trousers!

His mother was mortified.
