Gogglebox - Giles & Mary (lighthearted)

I LOVE Giles and Mary, but why does Craig Cash always refer to them as 'Giles...and his wife Mary?' Even if it's Mary that's making a point, she always comes second. AIBU to think it should, sometimes be 'Mary...and her husband Giles?' Grin

I had a very weird erotic dream about him once. No it was just downright dirty

ThePlatypusAlwaysTriumphs · 27/04/2018 21:48

I think Mary HATES Giles. She comes across as not being able to stand him!

Lacucuracha · 27/04/2018 21:49

You're right!

Unless they always add on Mary as if to say '...and his long-suffering wife, Mary.'

Batmanthedude · 27/04/2018 21:49

Aw I love them, proper eccentric couple. Nutty

Trialsmum · 27/04/2018 21:50

I don’t think she can stand him either! Why shouldn’t he have 2 pints at lunch time?? 😂

TheSecondOfHerName · 27/04/2018 21:50

I find it interesting that the rooms in their house have numbers rather than names.

ThePlatypusAlwaysTriumphs · 27/04/2018 21:51

And why shouldn't be be allowed in the kitchen? Poor Giles!

DaffodilLover · 27/04/2018 21:51

I like how she called him Tubs before. Tubs and Nutty 😊 love them.

NerrSnerr · 27/04/2018 21:52

I really want matching armchair and wallpaper.

I love them.

WindyWednesday · 27/04/2018 21:52

I love them. Giles is hilarious. The other week he shrunk his dressing gown in the wash.

The80sweregreat · 27/04/2018 21:52

I love these two. He is a great artist and I bet she was a stunner when she was younger!

Ginger1982 · 27/04/2018 21:52

I said to DH we should try calling each other Nutty but it just didn't sound right coming from a couple of Glaswegians!

Oh me too Nerr. It’s like an optical illusion.

BlueTrousers · 27/04/2018 21:54

I need more information about their car table tbh
And the portrait above Mary’s head - is it her? I need to see the top half!

BlueTrousers · 27/04/2018 21:54

Cat table* not car

HollowTalk · 27/04/2018 21:54

There's a painting of her when she was young above her chair, isn't there?

I love them - she's very grumpy, though.

MNscum · 27/04/2018 21:54

I think they’re fab. Love it when he was trying to mend the toaster and she pointed out it doesn’t work unless switched on at the socket.

MNscum · 27/04/2018 21:55

I think she’s exasperated by him rather than hates him.

WindyWednesday · 27/04/2018 21:56

Isn’t the portrait of their daughter

loveka · 27/04/2018 21:56

We have started calling each other Nutty...

MoistCantaloupe · 27/04/2018 21:56

They are my absolute favourites. But I agree - it should also be Mary and her husband.. nutty. Anyone who matches their chairs with their wallpaper is good in my book.

Do not like the Michaels though.

HollowTalk · 27/04/2018 21:56

Here's the painting.

Hmmm hang on.

HollowTalk · 27/04/2018 21:57

Ooops couldn't see it at first.

Lacucuracha · 27/04/2018 21:57

Giles and Mary's faces when Shaggy came on the TV 😂
