to think the Lonely Goatherd's MIL was really very pushy?

[Hassled]

Her crimes:

Forcing her DD onto a feckless goatherd with no thought for their future prospects. What if they run out of goats?
Dressing her DD in a pale pink coat - she might as well just have called her Barbie.
Thinking a "Gleaming Gloat" is an effective means of communication.
Encouraging yodelling.

That's the MIL from hell, just there.

I suggested Gretl as a name for DD.

It took my DH about a month to stop laughing.

He is thoroughly bemused by the British obsession with the war The Sound of Music.

The baroness should set up an AIBU about her fiance eyeing up the nanny who acts as if butter wouldn't melt in her mouth

Why did they cut the start? And if they didn't how the f did I miss a whole song?

I wanted my DD to be a Gretel/Gretl too - some sort of reparation for the outrageousness of me not getting to be her :o

There is a lot to be said for training your DCs with a whistle.

I have a whistle to control children with, but only for at work I use a bell at home

I can't stand Gretel. When she smiles, it looks as if she is chewing a wasp.

Not very impressed with Maria's advice to her step-daughter - low and behold, you're someone's wife, and you belong to him

How fit is Georg!? I didn't realise this when I was younger.

I wanted to be lisle, singing in a glass house, jumping on benches. How disappointed I was when I realised it doesn't work like that in real life.

I want to know why they did a voluntary encore at the end when they could have used the extra time to escape?

That's the fame hungry generation for you Ebayaholic [winks]

Max could have dragged the prize giving out a bit longer to give em a better chance to get away

We were 30 minutes in when our tv stopped working

My DD aged 5 loves it too. We both sing along....

Rolf is a bit of a nazi bastard too.

I had a hiatus in my viewing due to DS3 wailing for Peppa Pig but it is now back on - huzzah!

Georg is doing his Obi Wan thing

I have had a huge crush on Captain Von Trapp almost all my life

Rolf IBU

cervix those questions always bothered me too. I guess you can't have 5 bridesmaids? Was Maria a bit of a bridezilla?

You'll never be one of them.....points to the Captain!

My favourite bit coming up!

I did the the sabotage scene.

Never trust a delivery boy, I say...

Christopher Plummer called the film The Sound of Mucus. I went right off the Captain after I heard that.

My kids came home, nicked the computer and talked all the way through the end. I've recorded it and will be making them watch it later in the week!
I watched a documentary about the Von Trapp family a while back ruined my view of Maria as apparently she was quite strict.
