To seriously question bloody Nina's credentials?

this may be a distraction from all the depressing real world threads on here.

I mean it's all smoke & mirrors i'n't it? Why do onions make us cry? Let's use a microscope to look at the cell structure. (good start). Then let's piss off to the Eden project just to look at a mister, because it explains how the juice sprays in the air.

No explanation of why onions do & other veg don't (I may write to Mr Bloom).

AND stop wearing that double breasted, margarine yellow belted jacket! It's foul & makes you look 3 feet wide!!!

FFS Nina, did you even get a C at double award science?!

I know! Does she ever answer a bloody question?

It's all a cunning distraction from the real tough why can we smell issues today.

How bizarre, I was just thinking that the other she didn't fulfill the criteria to answering the question ' why is jam sticky?' I could have done better with 'because it is' let alone going into molecular structure. And comparing syrup to ketchup: pah! Don't get me started. I'd like to see her attempt 'wht are banana skins slippery?' a subject we weirdly covered at uni.

wahwahwah · 25/01/2012 18:23

Her name isn't even Nina. She is called Katrina.

wahwahwah · 25/01/2012 18:25

She isn't even a scientist.

LineRunner · 25/01/2012 18:26

Is she in fact a woman?

GeneHuntsMistress · 25/01/2012 18:29

Yeah I know, but I think she is so pretty and has a really nice smile, so she gets away with it in my book anyway.

TeaSleepFood · 25/01/2012 18:31

Come now, I think she herself is charming and wouldn't dis her but I think her researchers need to think long and hard about how they earn their pay

I wanted to know what the acid in the onion was that makes our eyes sting.

AND she proved if you mix water with acid it's still acid - so then aren't tears mostly water and our eyes should keep stinging even if we cry a bit (and they do)?

The safety goggles song is terrible.

Bearcrumble · 25/01/2012 18:42

Also while we're on the topic of cbeebies - do you think Kerry hates Nisha? There seems to be a lot of tension when they present together and neither seems very comfortable.

Rhubarbgarden · 25/01/2012 18:52

I love Nina. But I agree about the yellow jacket.

cheekyseamonkey · 25/01/2012 19:11

Also the grown woman/pigtails thing?

OP posts:
TeWihara · 25/01/2012 19:38

The pigtails are a risky statement I agree...

Ceri and Nisha always seem to be doing strange dances in their sections so I can only comment that it is extremely weird and I wish they'd just sit down and play with toy cars or teddies or something.

luciadilammermoor · 25/01/2012 20:27

Nina I can live with, Nisha OHTH drives me up.the.wall. It's like panto, the acting's so bad.

I think Kerry should kill her, on air.

cheekyseamonkey · 25/01/2012 20:43

Plus she claims to be "inventing" stuff which has quite clearly already been invented. So annoying.

Bearcrumble · 25/01/2012 20:53

I'm glad you said that, Lucia. I can't stand her either and keep wanting Kerry to batter her.

MintChocAddict · 25/01/2012 21:01

Nina was also a pathologist in Taggart and attended many a murrrrrder, so should really know her science.

CheekySeaMonkey - can't do double science in Scotland as it doesn't exist here. Maybe that's where it all went wrong. [bwink]

maddening · 25/01/2012 21:02

I too have felt the tension with Misha, my oh hates misha's pandas

luciadilammermoor · 25/01/2012 21:03

begins to ramble about inanimate bears going on days out with special children while everyone else is locked in a room with Nisha to sing songs until the medication kicks in or the happy men arrive...

If my 1 year old shuns it, that means it's bad right? He bloody loves ITNG so his standard isn't high.

AitchTwoOhOneTwo · 25/01/2012 21:04

i think even Justin hates Nisha. you can see his eyes glaze over when she phones on the cushion phone.

BandOMothers · 25/01/2012 21:08

Nina writes the show herself you know.

Alliwantisaroomsomewhere · 25/01/2012 21:11

That show with the pandas makes me want to stab my eyes and ears out.

AitchTwoOhOneTwo · 25/01/2012 21:11

bandomothers are you the original bandofmothers?
