.... when they all share one bedroom - not much privacy!

Perhaps I should have my mind on higher things.

No YANBU. They are obviously serial silent shaggers.

wheelsonthebus · 22/10/2007 16:37

are they married? we need to know

ADragonIs4LifeNotJustHalloween · 22/10/2007 16:37

They are clearly octuplets as they are all the same size. I do think social services should be involved because they lose a number of them with alarming regularity.

DANCESwithHughJackman · 22/10/2007 16:38

Actually the more I think about it I'm starting to form a secret-government-genetic-cloning- project theory...

ADragonIs4LifeNotJustHalloween · 22/10/2007 16:38

don't forget the similarly sized Wattingers next door....

ADragonIs4LifeNotJustHalloween · 22/10/2007 16:39

Or Wottingers.

MegaLegs · 22/10/2007 16:40

It's not just the lack of privacy but the fact that they sleep head to head that got me thibking

I think that websites got it wrong about Iggle Piggle & Upsy Daisy though... Iggle Piggle is so camp he is surely gay.

Well their neighbours, the Wottingers, were a bad example weren't they.

I've never seen any of the parents go to work either......

And their sleeping arrangements aren't much of an indicator of a big family. However as all the little pontipines are going missing all the time, then they probably have time then.

BTW are the little ones with antenna the girls, I think so because they sleep on the same side as Mrs pontipine.

Do I need to go out more ?

sfxmum · 22/10/2007 17:18

but the thing is that bell it rings and they must go home often leaving the children behind and often after having lost track of them

I need to know what is going on

currantbunmum · 22/10/2007 17:57

rookiemum, I think the antenae are meant to be pigtails or plaits.

LIZS · 22/10/2007 18:00

Perhaps they hibernate sometimes like the blue ones .

PeachyFleshCrawlingWithBugs · 22/10/2007 18:04

Sweat the parents were snogging in an episode the otehr day (think ts on ds3's DVD)- so there is definite chemistry there!!!

SS defintiely need to be involved, personally witnessed an incident where se3veral children re-entered the home via the chimnet- can you imagine if there had been a fire?

amytheearwaxbanisher · 22/10/2007 18:04

well i hope after this thread you are all set to watch it in half an hour
