So who is the most annoying resident of Ambridge?

57 replies

thefirstMrsDeVeerie · 30/10/2011 11:22

I mean at the moment. Otherwise it would be far to difficult to choose.

I pick Tony for his ranting and whinging because his sister wont pony up her husband's money.
I pick Emma for being so bloody attention seeking. She was horrible about Nick saying 'she was flashing her engagment ring about'

I actually find everyone hugely annoying but the amount they annoy me ebbs and flows.

Any candidates for the prize this week?

It's a joint prize this week. It goes to Jim and Christine, for services to over-enunciation. One of them is bad enough but the two together are unbearable.

Daniel

Cathy....although she's not featured much for ages. Just so irritating with her constant negativity and whingeing and no idea how to parent her son. Hopeless.

Not got a particular candidate this week although in future weeks I reckon I'll be nominating Emma because we're going to see a lot more of her petulance and 'sticky-out lip' in relation to Nicks upcoming wedding.

Jennifer for her horrendous snobbishness.
Lizzie - well, for just being Lizzie.

thefirstMrsDeVeerie · 30/10/2011 18:34

You see! I cannot disagree with any of these nominations.

Jennifer is always the top of my list because of her dreadful shrillness and 'oh darrrrrling' when any of her horrible offspring do something she isnt happy about.

She did provide a moment of light relief a few weeks ago with her brow furrowing about Alice going to the pound shop Grin

'services to over-enunciation' Grin

Olvia I am afraid a name is not enough. Daniel could win for any number of reasons. You have to be more specific.

It always struck me how inappropriate Cathy's surname was. She being the least perky of all the Ambridge inhabitants.

Susan Carter Angry

ElaineReese · 30/10/2011 18:38

Tom Archer, definitely. His voice is so annoying that it scarcely matters that everything he says with it is dreadful - although it doesn't help. Hellin obviously pretty close second.

thefirstMrsDeVeerie · 30/10/2011 18:40

I will never forgive Pip for putting me off the name Jude for ever.

DC5 would have been Jude if it wernt for her saying Juuuuuuddde in that whiney voice twenty times an episode.

Jim and Christine. Oh my god. Were they separated at birth or what?!

How has no one said Pip? :o

CurrySpice · 30/10/2011 18:44

Let's face it - there isn't a character that isn't bloody annoying

Which is why we love it Wink

missmapp · 30/10/2011 18:47

Emma and susan win hands down, whatever they are doing!!!

twojumpingbeans · 30/10/2011 18:56

If we are including Ambridge Extra - my vote is for Ivy. A little mean of me perhaps and not her fault - but - STOP COUGHING! We get that she is meant to be poorly but the coughing makes me want to vom, is really too much. She's so bloody pathetic too, never has there been a more obvious villain than Clive, drives me nutty.

Glad I got that off my chest... (ha ha?!)

ObviouslyOblivious · 30/10/2011 18:57

Actually, from this week I'm going to say Adam. I understand why he's been such a moody bugger this week, but I'd rather not have to hear his droning, moany voice and glass half empty attitude.

CalatalieSisters · 30/10/2011 19:00

Usually I'd say Will for his insane resentment of his much nicer brother. But he is threatening to grow out of that -- which means there will be nothing left of him at all apart from his accent, like the Cheshire cat becoming nothing but a smile.

thefirstMrsDeVeerie · 30/10/2011 19:05

How long before someone drops in on our thread and says 'you can always turn it off you know'

and totally misses the point

Yes calatelle but you can learn to like characters - I don't hate Linda's now.

How has Helen not been mentioned? Over entitled selfish princess

OliviaMumsnet · 30/10/2011 19:10

oh wait. I changed my vote on the ambridge extra front.
Ivy I didn't even know you existed until about three weeks ago but please quit hacking and die already!

New Ambridge extra has a lot of inner soliloquy that its first season/series didn't have which is Very Annoying.

I am yet to catch up on this week's omnibus.
And am behind with Downton. Curse you RL!

thefirstMrsDeVeerie · 30/10/2011 19:20

Talking of entitled..Kate.

She is horrible. She is also annoying because of the amount of Jennifer 'oh daaarlingggg' that she provokes.

OP posts:
CalatalieSisters · 30/10/2011 19:22

Ah, but Linda only seems less annoying by means of the clever new tactic of standing next to Vicky, who is annoyingness in human form and makes anyone else look charming.

Gigondas · 30/10/2011 19:26

Grin that is true calatelle.
There were also a lot more characters I liked in past- marjorie, nelson, John (his death still makes me upset), Nigel so she stood out more

ObviouslyOblivious · 30/10/2011 19:28

Linda is kind of heart. I can't hate her.

Grockle · 30/10/2011 19:31

The Emma thing is dull. I'm bored.

An definitely Pat and Tony for their whining and Tom for his nagging

ObviouslyOblivious · 30/10/2011 19:32

Jolene. Can't stand her.

thefirstMrsDeVeerie · 30/10/2011 19:32

I like Linda.
When I say like I mean I dislike her less than the others.

Clarrie is lovely.

The Grundys seem to have been turned into national treasures rather than the working class scumbags they used to be.

Gosh they're all really annoying me at the moment.

Can't bear Tom and hate Brenda - oooh I once read a marketing magazine so everyone should treat me like I'm the marketing directer of Coca Cola.

And Emma - I've always hated her - she actually has no redeeming qualities at all.

Quite fond of Jennifer though - she's had a lot to put up with Brine after all.

Oh Debbie clever-clogs also very irritating.

And all the 'young folk' - and special mention to Pip - really dislike her.

Gosh - I do like some of them though.
