Binfullofgibletsonthe26th · 27/12/2012 22:51

Is it on? I didn't get the memo???

CatPussRoastingOnAnOpenFire · 27/12/2012 22:52

He's got totally the wrong end of the stick and is being totally prejudiced.

jessjessjess · 27/12/2012 22:52

YABU. He jumps to conclusions without checking his facts.

Channel 5.

I just think with the information he had no wonder he was furious, and even if he had listened and found out sooner that Johnnycake isn't the baby's father, would you want your young daughter to hook up with a guy like Johnny?

He asked Jonny who was responsible for Penny and he said "me" therefore making it sound like he was the one who knocked her up. Why didn't they bloody say it was Robbie the creep sooner!

Sparklingbrook · 27/12/2012 22:54

No you wouldn't. It's all very seedy IMO.

notnowbernard · 27/12/2012 22:55

He has got a rather marvellous chest though

DrRanj · 27/12/2012 22:55

I got a johnnycake autocorrect today too! Wtf is a johnnycake?!Grin

Sparklingbrook · 27/12/2012 22:55

Cringey bit coming up. Hmm

LauriesFairyonthetreeeatsCake · 27/12/2012 22:56

Oh yeah. I'm liberal on the outside but 'get your mitts off my kid' on the inside. Johnny is fab but they should have grassed up that arse Robbie earlier.

Just lucky elder sis doesn't fuck him.

Sparklingbrook · 27/12/2012 22:56

Can't look....

LightHousekeeping · 27/12/2012 22:57

You know, I think I'm the only one that wasn't into it

notnowbernard · 27/12/2012 22:57

God, i LOVED this film when I was about 12-13

CatPussRoastingOnAnOpenFire · 27/12/2012 22:58

I'd not judge him until I'd met him properly. If my DD was seeing him, I'd assume he had redeeming features.

Sparklingbrook · 27/12/2012 22:58

Cringe

TeamSledward · 27/12/2012 22:58

I thought this too!
There comes a point when you no longer relate to the protagonists of a film but rather their parents. I had this shocking realisation whilst watching The Goonies last week...

CatPussRoastingOnAnOpenFire · 27/12/2012 22:59

I'd also be rather jealous!

NeverKnowinglyUnderstood · 27/12/2012 22:59

I was also wondering this about my fave film!!
Johnny must be late 20's and baby was 16/17 hmmm as a parent not sure I would be delighted.

CatPussRoastingOnAnOpenFire · 27/12/2012 23:00

Arf @ The Goonies! Grin

TeamSledward · 27/12/2012 23:00

Catpuss - the redeeming features are the lovely torso and the buttocks you want to bite.

Aspiemum2 · 27/12/2012 23:03

It sucks, the film was far more enjoyable as a horny teenager than as an over protective mother! You are right, you are old when you no longer swoon over the 'bad boy' I guess Sad

TeamSledward · 27/12/2012 23:04

I really feel for the Goonie parents - those kids blame them for having to move, but don't realise that a mortgage has to be paid and it's not the fecking mortgage fairies that come up with the money.
And then they all go off on an "adventure" to god knows where, when there has been a local prison break by notorious criminals, and are missing for hours/days. Bloody selfish kids!

Sparklingbrook · 27/12/2012 23:06

The kids in detention in The Breakfast Club aren't that amusing when you suddenly have a secondary school age child too, Sad

St Elmo's Fire still my favourite though.
