I was watching the most popular TV morning show today - Today Show - and SURPRISE they already had this discussion as one of their main topics! I was shocked because I read through the entire previous threads from start to finish.

Yawn? Why? I thought it was pretty funny. Out of the blue and I never would have guessed they had it on there, very random.

Where's the "if you find it so boring why did you click” emoticon when you need it?

KP86 · 12/05/2016 19:26

It's in Australia and NZ as well

I didn't think it was particularly funny in the first place though obviously tastes vary.

The number of threads about it now has in my opinion become tedious.

ilovesooty · 12/05/2016 19:27

Fair enough Soup

Point taken.

Wow, those two are something. Wish we had that programme here. It makes Colleen Nolan look like Yoda

I gave up, but someone can correct me if I am wrong :)

Momamum · 12/05/2016 20:02

Ps, btw...like gonk, I wonder if it actually happened, but...hey-ho.

KittensandKnitting · 12/05/2016 20:03
