no i mean hands up if you feel those Sheer Blonde Girls "alex and Brit" need a good slapping! i have never been so irritated by an advert and find them incredibley frightening!... do people like this really exist?... i fear they have been to sulky smoulder school to perfect their stares to the camera!!!

or horrors of horrors.... does it really mean i yearn for 'sheer blonde' hair! and am just jealous!

I don't think so!!!

Batey, I'm afraid I was a little hasty suggesting Maisy mouse, but I HATE THE MUSIC. As I type, its rattling through my head...I agree with Richard and Judy and what about that mad, mad woman with the big teapot on Teletubbies!!! I think she's called "funny lady"? Surely there's a queue to slap her!
Leave little Pingu alone, but what about "John who steers the boat", The ragdoll that is, with Rosie, Jim and Duck. Now Rosie, Jim and Duck have some acting ability, but pllleeeaaassseeee someone slap that man!!!!!

I didn't suggest slapping Pingu just the creators,so dont call the RSPCA yet

Enid · 07/06/2002 12:04

Pingu would just morph shape if you did anyway, then he'd stick his tongue out and say 'Nah, nah'

Ooooh, you can't slap Beckham, especially after his performance today... I could do something else to him that is also a four letter word beginning with S though

leander · 07/06/2002 18:33

now now WWW go + cool down.
Ruby Wax + Cilla Black both need a really big slapping oh + Kilroy.

The silly cow of an au pair who has lived in our village for 8 weeks and snubs me every time I see her because her Dutch must be pretty good and mine is crap. Sorry. Stupid reason to slap but my fingers just itch every time I see her.

oxocube · 07/06/2002 18:41

Sorry, that was so mean.

Mopsy · 07/06/2002 18:47

ROFL WWW, I'm next in the queue

leander · 07/06/2002 19:03

ROFL?

If you don't like the songs on Maisie, how about SPOT? They have terrible melodies, don't rhyme and don't make sense. I hate Spot. The books are brilliant but the video just makes me want to spit - it's as if they think any old rubbish will do for kids. I hide ours.

Fionn · 07/06/2002 20:14

Chris Tarrant! Am I the only person who hates him so much that I can't bear even 5 seconds of Millionaire? - it doesn't seem to bother anyone else I know. Have to agree on Bodger and Badger and Barney, also The Shiny Show and the awful US programmes on CBeebies. India Knight was in my year at university and she was a pretentious t**t then as well.

batey · 07/06/2002 20:21

Who's india knight, she's completely passed me by?

Tinker · 07/06/2002 20:33

batey - just count yourself lucky. She's an up her own arse 'journalist' who wrote about the demise of her own marriage, as it was happening, a la Katherine (?) Flett. Why can't these people just talk to their mates like everyone else instead of exploiting their own misery?

jenny2998 · 07/06/2002 21:21

Has Anne Robinson been mentioned yet??? Did anyone see the "Weakest Link" where she insulted one of her guest's (celebrity, can't remember who..) by suggesting she needed a face-lift. It was weeks ago and I'm still seething...

Ellaroo · 07/06/2002 21:32

Have to disagree about India Knight - think she is rather wonderful. Has anyone read her new book 'Don't You Want Me?' (obviously Tinker's answer to this would be 'No! I certainly do not want you' It is the funniest thing I've read in ages and it is nothing like her column, which I agree can be a bit irritating.

Ellaroo · 07/06/2002 21:33

Did not mean to do the winky man. Where did he come from?

Amazed by this hatred of India Knight, never heard of her column, or her alto ego Katherine! I think I read a book by her called 'My life on a Plate' but she was being India then, not Katherine. Anyway, I thought it was rather good! Totally agree about Chris Tarrant and his dull should be named 'Who gives a f*'' I LOATHE that programme and he is so bland.

WideWebWitch · 07/06/2002 22:15

OK, I hate India Knight's columns but loved her book My life on a plate. Not keen on Katherine Flett as a columnist but liked her book. Mmmm, I'm a contradiction. Agree totally about Chris Tarrant. REALLY would like to slap him. And Anne Robinson. Glad her show went t**s up in the states, she was getting far too smug for my liking
Leander, ROFL is Rolling On the Floor Laughing in netspeak, if you're laughing but are English and not ROFLMAO (Rolling On the Floor Laughing My Ass Off - yuk as an expression)

Tinker · 07/06/2002 23:56

jessi - India and Katherine are two different people, unfortunately! Read 'My Life on a Plate' (charity shop buy). I'll say no more other than back to the charity shop it goes!

pamina - you can understand why these blokes leave can't you? Having every conversation documented in national newspapers.

OK, I have to admit I've never read anything by Ms Knight, but I'm intrigued by the opposing opinions expressed here of her work so I might try it. Just get annoyed by her being hailed as the latest exponent of Chick Lit, that sort of writing seems so lazy...

Enid · 08/06/2002 11:10

Fionn, did you go to Cambridge and know Ben Lewis too??

Count me in the anti India Knight fan club. A reluctant member because I have found her stuff funny and readable at times - but yuk! to that spastics comment, Pamina - however, I'm an anti because she takes her relatively rich and privileged background so much for granted.
