And take his military wives with him.

Everyone can sing, Sparkling. If we had an arbitrary deadline, I'm sure I could get you singing beautifully.

Sparklingbrook · 23/12/2014 18:45

When I am singing along to Ellie Goulding in the car I am awesome Gareth. Smile

The only reason all these were on the TV were because of where they worked. Were you so spiteful and sneery about them, or is that just saved for the Military Wives?

What is so wrong with giving women whose husbands were in a warzone, as they were in 2011, something else to do? Something else to fcous on? Because of the program in 2011, a lot of bases have MW choirs now. It is a place where women can make friends, where they can have some "me" time, and just do something else for a change. It is actually a good thing.

Don't watch the program if you don't like it, but could you just save your spite for something worthy of it?

Op is never coming back are they? Xmas Grin

I can't stand him either. I don't even know why. Poor man. He's just one of those people I dislike along with Hugh fearnley shittingstall or whatever his name is and that annoying chef that wears those glasses and big floppy hair and wrote the book "toast"... Nigel slater? Maybe I've got the name wrong.

I'm a cheery old soul.

I have never met him but he seems like a good sort. I prefer him over any TV chef with the exception of James Martin.

TheFairyCaravan · 23/12/2014 19:25

I've met James Martin Sparkling!

Hello Gareth.
Please may I audition for you?

TheRealGarethMalone · 23/12/2014 19:40

Dido, you know you already have a solo spot due to your tragic and moving circumstances. And your lovely voice.

LaQ, thank you. I am very passionate.

All you haterz, it doesn't matter. The music is in me, and that is all I need. ( have you noticed on my shows I drive quite a modest car).

TheRealGarethMalone · 23/12/2014 19:42

Sparkling, you ate always awesome. You are the choir member who keeps everyone going after the obligatory dreadful rehearsal.

TheRealGarethMalone · 23/12/2014 19:42

Are awesome. ( sorry, I was concentrating on a new arrangement of Firestarter for the Voices )

fruitpastille · 23/12/2014 19:45

I like Gareth but am bored of the wives tbh. He does seem a bit less Mr Nice Guy as he gets older though.

I hear James Martin is not that nice in real life but love him on Junior Bake Off!

DidoTheDodo · 23/12/2014 19:46

#I'm a firestarter, a twister firestarter...#
Thank you for the solo spot Gareth. I will practice hourly so as not to let you down.
In what august building and on what occasion will we be performing?

And who has brought the cake?

itsbetterthanabox · 23/12/2014 19:47

Oh I'm dense. I kinds believed it is him for a minute there...
I think choirs are fantastic. I just hate reality tv. Although it's almost worth watching to drool over Gareth.
How do people feel maternal over him? He's 39!

NorahBone · 23/12/2014 19:53

He's VERY young looking though isn't he? I saw one programme where he was singing shanties on a boat with some Cornish fishermen, or something like that, and I thought "how lovely, one of them has brought his little boy along". Nope, he's older than me.

TheRealGarethMalone · 23/12/2014 19:57

It's my boyish good looks and boundless energy, Box.

< blushes>

Dido. You know better than to ask. Surely you understand that as soon as you have sketchily learnt the song, I will lead you to triumphantly perform in AIBU? And you will feel amazing? And I will do a piece to camera feeling concerned at the scale of the task before me?

Comingfoccacia · 23/12/2014 20:01

YANBU at all!

Maybe, LaQ. I need to bring my portable keyboard to your house for the emotion to be unlocked.
