to think I may need counselling because I just saw The Wiggles after a break of, what, 3 years?

[BalloonSlayer]

The shock, the shock.

I have a 6 year age gap between middle and youngest DC. By chance, I caught 5 minutes of The Wiggles today, and I had to shut my mouth with my hand Oh no, what's happened?

One of them (Greg?) has left and been replaced - I think I may have read this somewhere, so it wasn't a shock , but they haven't even bought the new guy his own jumper and his skinny little neck is sticking out of the collar like a tortoise.

Murray has got a wig on!

The lovely Anththththony is so, so grey.

At least Jeff hasn't changed.

I feel so cheated. Like finding out Father Christmas doesn't exist all over again.

But the worst bit is, have I aged that much as well.

I think I may have .

Is there a Captain Feathersword outfit then, snuffyp? Did your DH look nice it it?

Just . . . erm . . . wondered?

You're not the OP in the Pirate Sex thread are you...?

No but that feathery sword could be fun

Just as a sidetrack here:

I was watching the Wiggles with my ds and singing Fruit Salad yummmy yummy, which has been permanently etched in my brain and I had a random thought: If one of the Wiggles asked you out (and you were single), could you do it? Could you date (and possibly shag) a man that wore brightly-coloured polos and sung "Toot toot chugga chugga big read car?"
I know I couldn't and it has made me realise that I am probably a bit shallow!

Not that shallow - I think there was a thread once about which Wiggle you'd shag if your life depended on it.

Haha - will have to search for that!

Have just found that thread on here and this picture came with it:

not one of them honestly would do it for me!

Well I think there is something appealing about a man who is not trying to be cool, or 'aaaard, but instead is making a complete tit of himself to amuse a bunch of kids, and seeming to enjoy it too.

Helps if he earns shitloads of money while doing this of course.

We are booked to go this year to see them - very funny trying to explain to the ticket agent that we wanted seats on the end of a row in the stalls (because they come off the stage and say hello - so what is the use in being in the middle of a row?!!)

We love the new CD. You make me feel like dancing indeed.

And if I had to, Anthony, obviously. Haven't you seen him on youtube doing his pull ups?!

But if your life depended on it, Louie...?

Light blue one if I had to BTW. The one on the far right in that picture. I'm pleased to say that I have no idea which one he is. [preen]

That's Anthony, of course, SoupDragon.

Except now his hair at the sides is white.

Looking thin on top too...

If my life depended on it....ohhh... um, definitely not the red one, um.....maybe Anthony, but I would have to transfer myself to Johnny Deppville whilst iykwim.

Balloonslayer its only the hat and sword not full outfit!!!lol

That pictures old Sam is better!

The growlygus you,ll have a great time! remember to take a rose for dorothy!!!

rofl at all your posts, in a shag or die situation you would unquestionably have to be truly desperate. Esp that pic where they're all pointing their fingers in a most uncool manner. But of course they are spectacularly uncool. One of the things about them that gets me is the way they're all stomping around in those huge black shoes whilst doing the silly dances, most inappropriate footwear! I reckon it's their only way of staying in touch with their masculine side ... Oh and what is it with Capt Feathersword's accent? Oh dear, time to get out a bit, must go and do a supermarket shop. Maybe I'll check the bargain bin for Wiggles dvds while I'm there ...

I am still thrilled at winning tickets to see the wiggles live! on MN (thanks MN).

We had old dvd's of them and DS seemed quite keen as we like to do the dances (me especially)

I didn't think much of antony in the old days but when I saw him in the flesh ding dong. I think he's lovely. Not quite George Clooney but I think he has improved with age.

Tried to get some more wiggles stuff but according to their website you can;t buy their stuff in the UK

My dd (aged 4) just asked me why I was laughing at the computer (I had just clicked on the picture and was trying to decide between Greg and Anthony).

"Oh, I'm just trying to think who I would...erm...marry from the Wiggles, if I had to."

"Well, Greg, of course, Mummy. He drives the car."

I can see her point, but I really think I'd look quite nice in Anthony's jumper the next morning, when I was trying to come across all appealing and small in men's clothing after post-wiggly action. Yellow is not my colour.

Decisions, decisions...

Stop it ladies. Please.
I had another Wiggles nightmare last night and its all because of this frigging thread.
