Would hate to be the neighbour of the people on this programme!

Sheesh.

Sorry, I didnt get that from your post, it didnt have the required :o or Wink at the end :o. And given the amount of people that believed the "Romanians/Albanians/Random Foreigner tried to abduct a child in Asda and was found shaving her head in the loos" story, I do tend to err on the side of "Snopes"!

squoosh · 10/09/2014 01:07

Fair enough!

WallyBantersJunkBox · 10/09/2014 08:54

Isn't that the thrill of the Swingers club hot tub though Squoosh?

Like a kind of Uterus Russian Roulette?

I imagine you'd be fairly relaxed about other peoples body fluids if you were a member of a Swinging club, and wouldn't mind clambering into a plastic moulded tureen of bubbling jizm soup.

FFS Wally!

That actually made me gag, I feel really pukey now......Envy

IShallCallYouSquishy · 10/09/2014 09:01

Next door have a hot tub. They sit and drink wine/beer in it. I reminisce of my child free days, and sometimes think about sitting with my feet in paddling pool with a hot chocolate at 9pm talking about random stuff!

Wonder if they would think I was taking the mick?!

Hot tubs just scream 'swingers' to me. My poor mum and dad, bless them, went to a party once. It was a great party, and at the end, there was about half a dozen of them left

'Let's into the hot tub!' said the host (a renowned shagger)
'But we don't have any swimming suits!' said my parents
'That doesn't matter!" said the host. Host's wife turns red. Host's au pair grinning like a Cheshire cat.

Parents left, thinking it was all very strange behaviour. I had to explain to them the next day. My mum SHRIEKED. 'And they have pampas grass out the front!"

ValerieTheVodkaFairy · 10/09/2014 09:31

That goat is fantastic.

numptieseverywhere · 10/09/2014 09:43

some of those posh baths were £5-8k worth! You could have your entire bathroom redone for that amount! Shock

WallyBantersJunkBox · 10/09/2014 09:45

Why not combine both pleasures...

My goat is in my hot tub.

GaryShitpeas · 10/09/2014 09:52

Curious I'm absolutely horrified by your hot tub findings Shock

WallyBantersJunkBox · 10/09/2014 10:01

Swingers....

Gosh, you're snooty aren't you?! Whether you like the hot tub thing or not - what the heck has being part of a housing scheme got to do with it? Can't stand snobs. People are entitled to spend their money on what they want, just as you are entitled to have your own opinion, but is there really any need to be so snobby about it?!

MerdeAlor · 10/09/2014 12:11

I agree greendoor
We have a hot tub, it wouldn't matter if I lived on a housing scheme or if I was common. If we like it, why should anyone else care?

MerdeAlor · 10/09/2014 12:13

Hot tub threads are so divisive. People seem to get proper worked up about them. Can't see why personally.

MarkWrightsLonelyBraincell · 10/09/2014 12:14

Stratters I need that long haired goat! Does s/he really live near to you?
I'd brush his coat all day long and feed him all my scraps. I'm sure the cats would be thrilled.

Eauneau · 10/09/2014 12:35

Meh, I'm just gonna say it - a hot tub in the back garden is just common.

pigsDOfly · 10/09/2014 12:47

Hate the idea of a hot tub, but oh how I want a goat now.

Hoping to move to a more rural area soon - looking at houses at the moment - and a goat with long silky hair would be perfection in my new garden.

icymaiden · 10/09/2014 12:52

It wouldn't be much of a show if they only featured normal people would it?

Latara · 10/09/2014 13:05

Hot tubs remind me of... Big Brother!

Goats remind me of the local Animal Sanctuary. They are looking for good homes for goats.

squoosh · 10/09/2014 13:08

Love the idea of sitting in a nice (clean) hot tub, in some rural location, on a clear starry night, glass of wine in hand, gorgeous man by my side.

The idea of being crammed into a hot tub in someone's suburban back garden, wedged in between Jim and Sandra from no.24 is a bit less appealing.

Mandyandme · 10/09/2014 13:09

Don't want a hot tub but would love a goat.
