(not serious) DS thinks mr tumble is great, but watching him and his 1000 personas makes me wonder what he does for hobbies outside of work.. he seems like he was born to crossdress, hes just so into it!

The worst thing is, he's got better legs than me.

Bastard.

I hate Mr. Tumble.

ReputableBiscuit · 08/08/2014 14:51

So what if Justin is into cross-dressing? How much enjoyment of cross-dressing is too much enjoyment?

I like Gail Force best.

What's wrong with cross dressing?

My dd prefers Mr Tumble to me I think. I pay the licence fee and in return I get 20 minutes to have a cup of tea quietly on my mornings with her while she learns yet more signs and words.
Franky I don't care if he turns up naked for that free time.

He's great. Wish he'd do strictly come dancing or something so we could get to know him as an adult. I was thinking the other day imagine if all media was like CBeebies. Equal amount of men and women with equal roles. Good mix of ethnicity and disability. Maybe a few too many talking animals though.

What does 'too into cross-dressing' mean? Too much for what?

promisedyouarosegarden · 08/08/2014 22:22

Would also like to know what too much into cross dressing means

Justin as Dina Lady is my nan, which i do find disturbing, other than that he is just perfect in every way.

DoJo · 08/08/2014 22:24

My main problem with him is that I have yet to find a use for my perfect signing of 'Mr Tumble's spotty bag'. I need to meet a Mr Tumble obsessed makaton user to really make the most of my skills...

BookABooSue · 08/08/2014 22:26

You mean Gale Force and Dina Lady are Justin? Shock

hazeyjane · 08/08/2014 22:26

Ds has a Mr Tumble spotty bag, so we do actually use that sign quite a lot!

noblegiraffe · 08/08/2014 22:26

At what age do kids realise it's all the same guy? Mine are oblivious!

Petallic · 08/08/2014 22:36

I love gigglebiz. Maybe my brain never recovered after it's pregnancy shrinkage but Keith Fit genuinely makes me laugh!

Toofattorun · 08/08/2014 23:02

I love Justin! He has entertained my DCs for over 5 years and for that I am most grateful!

mawbroon · 08/08/2014 23:13

DS2 is 4yo.

He hates Justin in any shape or form and without fail switches the telly off when he comes on!

ithoughtofitfirst · 08/08/2014 23:32

And my axe!

DoJo · 08/08/2014 23:45

Sounds like an invitation to yours for tea hazeyjane!

My son actually has spotty swimming trunks which he calls his 'Mr Tumble's spotty pants' in a voice which carries astonishingly well in the changing rooms at our local pool. If anyone can describe the sign for pants, I suppose I can adapt my existing knowledge in the hope that he will use the sign instead of yelling about his pants for everyone to hear! (And if I can stop him yelling about my pants as well, so much the better...).

Bogeyface · 08/08/2014 23:49

I love Arthur Sleep and Aunt Polly. She is hysterical, he squeezes the odd "one for the parents" in with her!

I agree that Justin should do a more adult show like Strictly, Sleb Masterchef etc. It would be really interesting to see the real him.

MummyKnight · 09/08/2014 00:03

My DD LOVES Mr Tumble!!! She's always saying "take your finger, touch your nose................" I would love to see Justin do strictly! I'd pay to see that!!!!!

Bogeyface · 09/08/2014 00:04

He'd win strictly just on the SAHP vote!

DiaDuit · 09/08/2014 00:10

i love Mr Tumble! haven't seen him in a while as my two are into goosebumps right now Hmm

what is 'too into crossdressing'?

OohQuack · 09/08/2014 00:21

Do stops watching when it's just Justin, but oblivious to the world when his twin Mr tumble arrives, I too am eternally grateful for the 20 mins break.

BerryNaughtyBoy · 09/08/2014 01:00

I genuinely laugh at Gigglebiz. Dp describes the best bits when I miss it Grin Blush

Keith Fit and Dina lady are the best.
