...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 don't think he is a good example for kids. I think he is an obsequious brown nosing cock.

I'd hate to have a child like thomas. Personality wise obviously not because he's a train Blush

Tell it like it is Sabrina nods head furiously in agreement and is glad that none of her 3 DS were ever that mad on him

It's only the movies my DS watches befuzzled. We have Hero of the Railway (yawn, such a non-story), and Day of the Diesels (in which the diesels were seriously feckingly hard done by and Thomas ignores his old bff for some shiny new friends).

There was a great bit on the impressions show when Paul McCartney was organising a concert of surviving Beatles (ie him and Ringo) but didn't ask Ringo to do it because he thought he "would be to busy with that train gig".

After many, many years of watching kids TV, there are only two truly vile offerings out there:

One is "In The Night Garden" which will, in years to come, be found to have inspired a whole generation of serial killers.

Two, the worst of the lot - by far, is the fucking SMURFS: even writing their name makes me want to play with a chainsaw! Angry

You are wrong there. Power Rangers is unforgivable.

I cant sing can cook - hate

My DS has a Thomas push-along toy that keeps spouting sanctimonious phrases:

"Why don't you work hard like me?"
"Blue is the only colour for a really useful engine."
"Number one always come first"
"Wake up lazybones!"

Fuck off Thomas. You were never my favourite one of the Railway Stories trains and I resent being judged by a plastic toy now I'm in my thirties.

I hate Thomas too.

And he is NOT a good example to the kids, he's a do-gooding, interfering, suck-up these days.

Bring back the old episodes where the trains were rude and bad tempered and got bricked up in tunnels to die.

Sorry - typed too fast.."number one always comes first" not "come first". Which, now I think about it, sounds like the kind of boast a selfish lover might make. Grr.

Thomas is quite good i think! the stories are fairly entertaining, more than chuggington even though the chuggington trains are better looking. I used to hate thomas as a child but now my dses have won me round, as they are obsessed with it

It's Fireman Bloody Sam that gets me.

The Pontypandy residents are all so thick. They're always setting themselves on fire or trying to drown their children.

And the equipment that they use! The UK Fire Service must be scratching their heads wondering why so much of their budget goes on one village with a population of 8. And it's only ever Sam they call - all the other fire crew are useless.

I've been to Wales once or twice and never met anyone who speaks like the Price family.

Surely nobody in Wales actually speaks in that screeching way.

I hate Barney. I could smack him. Thank goodness DS is too old for that now!

I hate the lobotomised children on Barney. The dinosaur is annoying, but nowhere near as bad.

I may well burn down Justin's House. But I will be waiting til Dee is in there, and with any luck pick a day when Nisha is the special guest.
