OP will be laughing at all the pearl clutching, which is probably a phrase she coined, along with much of the MN vernacular.

I must also be miserable then.

I'm sure he's a lovely man but he's doing that sort of "look at us, aren't we perfect" thing some people do on fb with their families.

Hmm, DD2 has a mahoosive girl crush on Tom McFly's sister. I suppose I ought to check her out really, that she is suitable viewing. But I can already guess she's going to be super wholesome, with just a little edgy, a kind of Everyday Value Taylor Wotsername. Like McFly, really, a sort of Everyday Value pop group.

Oh bless me! Is the joyless one MN 'royalty' then? Hmm

It's a harmless piece of video. YABU and sour.

Cluesue · 27/04/2015 23:17

I loved the dandelion clock video,really cheered me up!!

Cluesue · 27/04/2015 23:18

Haha safari playing up again

WorraLiberty · 27/04/2015 23:20

I have no idea who the OP is, other than she has a thing about people smoking outside.

ladygoingGaga · 27/04/2015 23:21

Just watched the video, all I saw was a father filming a wonderful moment with his son and sharing it. Lovely, clearly spur of the moment, nothing pretentious or contrived. Made my day anyway.

No need for the negativity really OP

ParkingFred · 27/04/2015 23:22

I saw Tom McFly's sister in Les Mis - she was very good.

FreshwaterPlimpy · 27/04/2015 23:23

Who did E Hoover used to be then??

Sparklingbrook · 27/04/2015 23:25

I heart all of McFly especially Dougie. Grin

BaronVonShush · 27/04/2015 23:25

At least he wasn't selling something. I'm thinking of you Pandora and the blindfolded kids find their mummies vid, or the storage company who do the top 10 things they don't tell you about being a parent, one of which is "keep all the baby stuff", aka keep it and store it for years and years with our company.
I haven't actually watched the dandelion one because I am too busy making the cutest baby in the world (my DS2) laugh as he has the cutest laugh of all babies. FACT.

TinklyLittleLaugh · 27/04/2015 23:26

Yes Parking we saw her in Le Mis, (start of crush) and she was good. She also does a brill version of "Let it go", which DD has only played to me about a million times. Apparently she is also some You Tube teen guru. To be fair I shouldn't slag it before I've checked it out.

Sparklingbrook · 27/04/2015 23:28

Tom and his wife do Vlogs and one is entitled Dear Carrie where they regularly tell Carrie what they have been up to, and she does one back.

Shortandsweet20 · 27/04/2015 23:31

Oh leave him alone! It's nice to see a celebrity embracing fatherhood in such a way and having so much fun with his son!

member · 27/04/2015 23:32

I doubt I'd know Elizabeth Hoover's previous incarnation but I had her pegged as being akin to a dose of the clap from the off. Obviously sick of the lack of attention, she's upped the ante in the last week or so.

It's not everywhere, I've been messing about online on and off for most of the day - this is the first time I've seen it mentioned.
I'd understand your concern if Mr mcfly was coming round to your house, taping you down and forcing you to watch his holiday movies. But he isn't.

Bluestocking · 27/04/2015 23:36

Spur of the moment, my arse. Building the brand with Buzz, more like.

member · 27/04/2015 23:37

Shock Keep your "love baton" to yourself Honey

TinklyLittleLaugh · 27/04/2015 23:39

Yes come on, "nothing contrived", really? Really?

Sparklingbrook · 27/04/2015 23:40

If you look at his twitter feed he does stuff like this all the time it's nothing new, I can't see why this particular clip is so offensive. Confused
