Can we ask, oh lovely MNHQ, what feedback did you get from the TV company who wanted contestants for the new Peter Andre programme...

Surely even PA could see the funny side?

TheOneWithTheHair · 26/06/2012 16:55

Probably not. I don't think he has much self awareness. Grin

RowanMumsnet · 26/06/2012 16:56

Hello

We haven't had feedback, no. Media requests are usually put up directly by the production companies/journalists/whatever concerned, so we don't usually have direct contact with them.

I've been told to insert something funny here but a) I don't really understand the Peter Andre thing and b) I'm fresh out of funny today so could you all imagine a big joke here?

Thanks
MNHQ x

Tee2072 · 26/06/2012 17:40

Come on, let's help Rowan with a joke!

MrsRhettButler · 26/06/2012 18:03

Thanks for the links, its taken me this long to read half of it! Grin

Vair disappointed with the response from MNHQ Olivia or Justine would have said something hilarious you know Rowan.

Slubberdegullion · 26/06/2012 18:27

I heard a great joke the other day.

What's grey and can't climb trees?

TheOneWithTheHair · 26/06/2012 18:34

I don't know. What's grey and can't climb trees?

Slubberdegullion · 26/06/2012 18:36

A car park.

SuePBlovesaDiamondJubilee · 26/06/2012 18:38

How can one not understand the PALFHK thing AND not have something to say about him? Blimey, I could slag him all the live long day.

Rowan, I am worried for you. Worried.

becstarsky · 26/06/2012 18:41

I saw a little two-liner in 'Metro' in that bit where PRs plant stories sleb gossip 'green room' bit. It was a couple of days after the thread and said 'Peter Andre is hurt that some people say he uses his kids for his media image. 'I love my kids' said Peter' Don't know if 'Metro' have an online version or I would link... (It's true, not making it up. Tis too lame to make up).

Slubberdegullion · 26/06/2012 18:42

Poor, poor RowanMN. Let her alone you taunters. I bet she is very busy with extremely important productive mn business and has no time for jokes or PA thinkings.

EmpressOfTheSevenOceans · 26/06/2012 18:46

I saw that too, Becstarsky. I snurked.

I was on a packed commuter train and got some very weird looks.

SuePBlovesaDiamondJubilee · 26/06/2012 18:49

That's a sad sad life right there Slubber . Too busy for PA slagging?

We should have a telethon or summit. Help the MNHQ One.

BIWItheBold · 26/06/2012 18:53
Grin ROFL at Rowan's hilair jokes!
Slubberdegullion · 26/06/2012 19:05

No no no Sue, using up special leisure time to laugh at PA is not beneficial to the health of the soul. Tis like mocking a duck with a wonky leg or a marmot with a six pack plastic separator stuck round its neck.

SuePBlovesaDiamondJubilee · 26/06/2012 19:10

Oh. Those images make me sad (speshly the duck)

But the glowing orange goon that is PA makes me laugh. When he speaks, I laugh. When he tries to think I laugh. When he attempts sincerity I laugh.

I don't think it's the same at ALL.

I fear for my immortal soul but at least I have one, eh Petey? How much did ITV2 pay for yours?

Slubberdegullion · 26/06/2012 19:17

I fear for it also Sue, each PA thread desiccates your soul a little bit.

SuePBlovesaDiamondJubilee · 26/06/2012 19:28

like coconut? I shall be delicious and a welcome addition to any kitchen, so.

Dontcha worry about me Slubby, me old chicken, worry for Petey. Worry bad.

EmpressOfTheSevenOceans · 26/06/2012 19:31

I was a bit worried about you after your 18:38 post, *SueP.

But then I reread it and saw you were saying you could slag him so that was ok.

SuePBlovesaDiamondJubilee · 26/06/2012 19:34

God yes SLAG as in slag him off, no no never to the other.

Eurgh. Course, I doubt he is gagging for me either. I actually think it's awfully likely he prefers himself to any actual woman anyway.

Slubberdegullion · 26/06/2012 19:37

I start to worry about him, him and his ilk, and then I realise I could be investing my emotional energies into all sorts of other life affirming and spiritually beneficial projects such as keeping this fucking Acer my mother has given me alive. I can't water it with tap water! What sort of a stupid prissy tree is that?

See PA concerns vs keeping high maintenance tree alive. Tree wins. Soul wins.

SuePBlovesaDiamondJubilee · 26/06/2012 19:41

Yeah, trees are more interesting. And less orange, even in the case of orange trees.

Can you catch rainwater for it then? Or does it prefer Evian?

Slubberdegullion · 26/06/2012 20:17

Rain water [rolls eyes] am going to have to buy a stupid water butt and hack up a down pipe.

Is there such a thing as an orange tree? All year round properly orange, not just autumnally orange?

RebeccaMumsnet · 26/06/2012 20:21

Now that is funny still Sad about the wonky duck though

SuePBlovesaDiamondJubilee · 26/06/2012 20:38

Nah. Orange trees make oranges in the summer. Then they are exhausted, poor lambs, it's not natural to be orange all the time. So the deciduous trees manfully take on the orange duties for autumn.

PA gives off an unnatural Ready Brek glow all year round. Like Fanta Kryptonite.
