Aibu or are topsy and tim

[Abbinob]

The most gigantic "nursery aged" children ever?

[celeste83]

The programme is so annoying on so many levels. Didn't realise they were aged 4 for the tv programme. They look like they are ready for secondary school soon lol.

Thank goodness I've never had to sit through this crap. The books were enough.

Rabbit in the garden. Owner let's them keeps the rabbit. Daddy comes home from his shift at work and happily knocks up a hutch.

This would not happen in any house I know.

[PirateJones]

There was one episode where the little fuckers stole an old mans zimmerframe trolly and started running around the house with it.

Everyone just stood there laughing about it. Little fuckers.

[AmberFool]

I must be the only one who likes TandT . It's so eternally optimistic and cheery, ie nothing like me, that it's fascinating

[Woodenmouse]

Am I right in thinking that the actors who play them aren't even related irl?

[RumbleMum]

YANBU. Topsy's not too bad but Tim is such a whiny fucker. Makes me grateful for my own children.

Hihohoho I've just read that Peppa Pig story to DS2 and it makes me so cross! Can't wait until he's old enough for me to explain about viruses and the body's core temperature and how catching a cold just from being in the rain is ALL SHIT.

On the other hand, DS1 has just started watching Pop (the channel) and the crap that's on that makes Cbeebies look like intellectual gold.

[BoffinMum]

Mrstiggy, DS3 and I did a complete double take when we say their mum on 'stenders and DS3 asked me whether Topsy and Tim knew what their mummy was up to in the evenings.

Out of the mouths of babes .....

[BoffinMum]

You never see their mum in her pants deliriously scoffing chocolate rice cakes and last night's warm white wine whilst muttering about problems at work.

Or maybe it's just me that does that kind of thing.

[Pobspits]

Before I even opened the thread I knew yanbu and T&T were being massively unreasonable, dogooding, undisciplined whiny brats.

And they're a bit tall too.

[NinjaLeprechaun]

I'm blissfully ignorant about Topsy and Tim, but obviously what you're all watching is the Facebook version of their lives.

[Notimefortossers]

Those little bastards . . .

[GreatFuckability]

I had a pony called topsy.

[HowBadIsThisPlease]

Topsy and Tim's dad is a weird kind of bargain basement Lee Mac.

[RumbleMum]

HowBadIsThisPlease Yes yes yes! Thank you for articulating what I couldn't put into words - it was at the back of my mind since T&T started. Weeping with laughter.

I had this book as a child. It set me up for a lifetime of disappointment over DH's propensity/aptitude for DIY. Is it too late to sue?

[Battleshiphips2]

Justin fletcher isn't in it is he. I'm having ds2 in 8 days and its only just hit me that I've got to do kids tv all over again! We're thinking of starting him on Red Dwarf and Person of Interest from the day he's born this time. I hated reading Topsy and Tim books when I was a child. Didn't know they'd made the transition to TV!

[Glassofwineneeded]

Topsy and Tim is on tv? When did that happen? I am tooooo old and my kids are growing up tooooo fast! Topsy and Tim were books I loved as a child, and we're books I read to my children and thought they were out of date then! Can't believe they made it to tv.

[Jasonandyawegunorts]

Am i the only one who remembers that they were on TV before, they had a cartoon that aired after Rainbow on ITV.

[SuePerkins]

I know of a woman who calls her twins the "twincesses"

[bluespiral]

The cartoons are on YouTube, DD went through a stage of watching them. They look like the book DickDewy posted ^^

Warning with the cartoon - less irritating than the CBeebies version but the theme tune WILL get stuck in your head.

[Lilipot15]

Topsy and Tim's Christmas special involved the dad break dancing on his own in front of his mum....as DD1 presently loves the show I have to keep seeing this. Makes me appreciate my DH so much more that he doesn't do odd things like that.

[Peniston]

I love this show, one of my favourites and the mother isn't annoying to me at all - she's my role model! She's always so calm, sweet, patient and fun with her kids :)

[Schwabischeweihnachtskanne]

I am more than usually tolerant of cbeebies but there is absolutely nothing reasonable about Topsy and Tim.

The current 8 year olds posing as 4 year olds are the most irritating children on the planet.

I thought I remembered liking the books as a child but when I was given one for my own kids I discovered that the books are rage inducingly worthy and worthy only of being recycled. The "And that, said mum, is that" or whatever it is catch phrase makes me want to swear...

How can boy/ girl twins be meant to be identical? They are meant to look strikingly similar to one another, as b/g siblings can sometimes...

Oh . . . my . . . God.
