to wish that Gareth Malone would just fuck right off?

[TheGMF]

And take his military wives with him.

So come on OP (does GMF stand for Gareth Malone Fan?). What's he done to offend you? Did you not make it through the auditions?

You could always turn the telly over, I suppose.

I don't think I even know who he is, I don't watch programmes with choir wives in though, perhaps that's your solution OP. Don't watch it.

Have never heard or seen them.

at "And I also fancy him in a slightly creepy maternal way"

Lulu!!!!! . Where you been. They played at the jubilee on the stage with gary barlow and have had several hits. You must have heard the songs.

My Poor indifference has been pierced by the thought that the OP is his wife.

For lulu. m.youtube.com/watch?v=e7R9hv4NUf4

Oh no OP are you Mrs M?

For lulu (my fav) m.youtube.com/watch?v=kQ7f4lV3e0c.

Actually I think he irritates me. I'm not sure he does as I avoid all programmes with him in. I just have a feeling he would wind me up.

I hope not , Sparkling.

But it is an unexpected thread, tbh. I mean, how harmless are Gareth Malone and the military wives??

They are fairly easily avoided Line, unless they maybe all lived in a flat together above yours or something.

Or every time you went to the shops they were all in the queue ahead of you.

DH's contribution 'if you don't like Gareth Malone you're an arsehole'

So there we go then

RoAsting i like your dh! He very straight to the point!

Sparkling, maybe Gareth Malone and the military wives all tried to get in the OP's car because she's a clown. And then the doors fell off.

Nope. I love him.

Yabvvvvu and sound very nasty op. I like him and his efforts to teach the masses to sing, we need something cheery.

I like Gareth a lot...but think repeating the military wives thing is a bit samey. (I'm a singing charity worker... How about a choir for us Gareth?)

I'm with you OP. I find him quite snooty and self satisfied. He reminds me of a school prefect circa 1953.

Line don't start me off again.

I briefly joined my local mw choir - it was very serious. I just went for a jolly sing song of some happy songs so it wasn't for me.

YABU.

A man under 40 who is a tenor and into choral singing almost the perfect man.

I love him.

DH has accepted this and got me a Gm CD for Christmas last year.

The MWC isn't all about whether you can sing though some of them can, beautifully it's about making friends, having a shared interest and lessening isolation. That's the point of all the 70 odd choirs. Imagine moving house every 2 years maybe and having to start all over again. Choirs make it easier - it's like Brownies, but with wine. So good on you GM for championing the MWC thing.

And good on him for bringing some excellent choral repertoire to the fore: 'the snow' is glorious.
