She always calls them topsy and Tim, never addressed just one of them... until topsy had her appendix out and there for was recorded without Tim. She called her topsy twin!!!! For gods sake.

YES! The thread I've been waiting for! Was thrilled for Mossy when he finally got to see the back of those smarmy little shits. Sad for me though - he was best thing in it.

SquatBetty · 17/11/2016 08:17

Ktay - thanks, that makes sense

ClaudiaApfelstrudel · 17/11/2016 08:35

YABU I loved reading Topsy and Tim to my little ones!

NunntheWiser · 17/11/2016 09:07

Topsy is so old, we keep waiting for the episode where she starts her periods.

drspouse · 17/11/2016 09:58

Apparently they are both 8 when they were supposed to be 4 on screen.

DIY Derek. Why not just fucking call him Derek? Why add the 'DIY' all the time?

LittleMoonbuggy · 17/11/2016 15:02

Nunn that's the funniest thing I've read in a while, thank you! It's a spot on analysis.

I think MN should host a web chat with T&T's Mum.

Nauseating CBeebies advert alluding to Grandma's incontinence?

Oh, huggles? Never mind.

The thing that perplexes me is that her kids never wipe their feet or remove their shoe,s just charge in and out of the garden all over her oatmeal carpet and she doesn't give a fuck. WIPE YOUR FUCKING FEET YOU LITTLE SHITS.

Both the parents drive me mad being too perfect. But the Dad has the edge for me.

I love this thread!

Topsy and tim. The future will see Tim is going to end up pimping out his sister to feed mummy's opiate habit.

Don't get me started on fucking Melody and fucking melodys smug mum. She's even worse

SuperMumTum · 17/11/2016 19:02

If my MIL turned up to babysit and WASHED HER FUCKING DOG IN MY BATHROOM I would go ape shit.

eggyface · 17/11/2016 20:20

Mummy in the books is a definite size 14 while stepford tv mummy is a model. Obviously the viewing public couldn't be expected to accept a plain ish mummy mummy...

^^ great Grin great thread I also hate topsy and tim, I escaped it with dd one but sadly dd 2 LOVES the fuckers.

peaceloveandbiscuits · 17/11/2016 20:43

SuperMumTum exactly what I think about that episode! Grandma is way too precious over that fucking dog.

PointyJat · 17/11/2016 20:53

Can't stand the plastic glued on smile mum. Whole programme annoys the living shit out of me

MistresssIggi · 17/11/2016 21:04

She's not a 14 in the ones I've read! I suspect there are an infinite amount of editions though.
When I was looking for a picture I also came across this exciting chapter from an earlier version...

I didn't even know they were on the telly! We have a few of the books and have enjoyed them. Shall I keep it like that and not sully my happy memories? Kids too old for them now.

Degustibusnonestdisputandem · 18/11/2016 11:41

Just about to post the Hurrah for gin page but see its bindun Smile

eyespydreams · 18/11/2016 11:48

nunn still reading thread but had to comment to say you have encapsulated ALL I feel re t&t.

Plus she is so fucking DRIPPY AND WET - I really object to that being held up to kids as the 'right' kind of mum!!!

NunntheWiser · 18/11/2016 14:05

eyespydreams and others thanks Blush. It's nice to know that others share the irrational over-analysis and subsequent anger I have towards CBeebies programmes. Do not get me started on Bing or I will lose my shit.

In my latest blog, I pillory Gina Ford. Hope she doesn't sue. It appears I do impotent anger a lot. I'm over at my username .com if you would like to read my latest rant.
