MATTHEW WRIGHT -- WRIGHT STUFF!!

Am I being unreasonable to wish Matthew Wright would make up his own topics on his morning chat show, and stop pinching ones from Mumsnet!!

OP posts:
LadyBlaBlah · 24/02/2010 11:38

I half watched this morning and my god he has got it so wrong.

It is surely 50/50 on here of love/hate for him ( probably not as representative of the general public as a whole, which would probably be more in the hate camp), and also lots of people defended him for nicking topics because that is what happens with the media - they swap stories, and need content - most of us do get that.

I think he sounded really really aggressive this morning about MN and mothers in general. It made him come across as ignorant and a bit of an ignoramus/pleb, but also a bit too nasty for the type of programme this is.

"Us sitting here in our Ivory Towers' etc and the fact that he thinks we are all SAHMs is just so very misguided. We just don't bother having the SAHM/WOHM arguments anymore because they are futile............and his programme too will stop having them in 12 months. Guaranteed. There is no resolution and no answer.

BUT MN is soooo not full of SAHM, I would hazard a guess that most people ( me included) do work, however a lot of people don't just do 9-5, and are their own bosses or work flexibly!?

Come on Matthew, sort out your hatred. You sounded slightly deranged today !

He was a total twat this morning and has gone down in my opinion.

His face is the definition of the term, "Shit Eating Grin"

To my shame, I did have to record it though to slaver over Huey.

WithMomentsOfMildPeril · 24/02/2010 12:50

Who on earth does he think his target audience is if not SAHM's??

He is, for example, a twat.

mollyroger · 24/02/2010 12:59

I would have rung up and suggested that all mothers work, some work out of the home as well, some of us also have voluntary commitments and still have time to MN.
Sadly, I was at work making a tangible difference to the quality of lives of vulnerable people.
What were you doing, Matthew?

Rindercella · 24/02/2010 15:31

It's a bit much really - the host of a mindless daytime TV show is belittling people using a highly successful and informative internet forum

One could argue quite reasonably which was the greater waste of time.

dont you lot have anything better to do than cry over whether Mathew Wright stole your topic discussions. Dont you have children to look after or is that the nannies job.

Mathew Wright rocks

muggglewump · 26/02/2010 16:10

I don't care if it's lazy, I love Matthew and wish I got to watch it more.
I'm off on Monday and will be watching.

I think he has a dirty, and incredibly sexy laugh, so there though his ears are odd

I am matthew vile and so is my husband

saslou · 26/02/2010 16:38

Looking forward to when Matthew and new wife have a baby and he has to take back all the shit he says about "breeders". When he is old and dribbling into his soup it will be someones grown up offspring wiping his chin in the care home! Society needs us to reproduce or it would cease to function

Rindercella · 26/02/2010 16:46

Muggle, am I right in recalling you are also Jedward's biggest fan?

And pmsl @ the unitentional irony of LadyJ's post!

muggglewump · 26/02/2010 17:08

I am proud of being Jedward's biggest fan Rinder.

A week on Tuesday and I'm going to see them .

I have fabulous taste in slightly crap singers/odd eared presenters (look at him, it's as if some small children were playing 'pin the ears on the Matthew', as a party game)/TV programmes.
Did I ever tell you about Home And Away being my favourite show?

muggglewump · 26/02/2010 17:10

And I'm guessing you haven't read the thread where I said I own a John Barrowman album, and will be getting the new one?

I should really think about getting help shouldn't I?

Rindercella · 26/02/2010 17:49

You actually own a John Barrowman album?! I have often wondered who bought that shite

Haven't watched Home & Away for years, so can't comment on that one. But, if your liking for Jedward, Matthew Wright and John Barrowman's Show Music! (or whatever it's called) is anything to go by, I don't think I'll be tuning in any time soon

muggglewump · 26/02/2010 18:28

If you count downloading it to my PC, owning, then yes, I do.
I didn't pay for it though. That possibly redeems me from being a total sadcase, and instead makes me a horrid, stealing criminal, lacking in morals, and depriving Mr Barrowman of income.

I will not hear a word said against Jedward. They are fantastic. I actually bought their CD, not just the downloaded song, the one with the box and everything.

I do so love them, (and Matthew too, but not as much as Jeddy).
I bet I never get a mention on his show.

muggglewump · 26/02/2010 18:32

Gah, pressed post too soon.

I meant I'll never get a mention as I'm not really the typical MN poster.

I don't own any Boden, don't read the Times, or the Observer, and I like acts from TV shows who can't sing, and I often go to the shop in my PJs and fake Uggs.

Rindercella · 26/02/2010 18:39

"I like acts from TV shows who can't sing" Is that why you like John Barrowman then? Sorry, couldn't resist!

muggglewump · 26/02/2010 18:58

No, I like him because he's easy to sing along to, hot, and rumoured to have a big cock.
What's not to like?

confuddledDOTcom · 26/02/2010 20:18

He might be hot and have a big cock (darn that rhymes) but he's gay

A two day old thread isn't resurrecting old threads.

I used to like Matthew Vile, but since watching it as a mother my opinion has drastically changed.

Matthew or your producers, if you check back on this. You think this is a war of words? We've gone one better than words. Let's see... Unicef Children's Ambassador slates breastfeeding on The Vile Stuff... Oh look, where has she gone from the Unicef website?

BitOfFun · 26/02/2010 20:27

I'm sure we can take a bit of ribbing- as can he. I want him to come on for a webchat

confuddledDOTcom · 26/02/2010 20:50

Ha that would be brilliant!

muggglewump · 26/02/2010 21:59

Since when does 'hot and have a big cock', rhyme?

If Matthew comes on for a webchat , it must be when I'm here.
I think he's great, even though all of his discussions about bf are typical shite, and never balanced.
That's daytime TV though, and I still watch avidly when I get a chance.
Darn that bloody job getting in the way of my lying around time
