This is the only GD where I've been rooting for the neighbours.

I hope they feck off to yet another borrowed place (perhaps in the country) and the whole thing falls into a giant sink hole.

onlyaname · 26/10/2011 22:03

My DH thinks it's great and my bitching about the couple is harsh. So glad I can bitch here too!

Garden was bloody awful, trying oh so hard.

Rudawakening · 26/10/2011 22:06

The house was awesome, I doubt he needs the money his architecture business is multi - award winning and very successful.

Reading this thread makes some people look like very jealous children. Dislike yes but wish bad things on them because you don't like it, very mean spirited.

And no it isn't my house unfortunately.

KatieMortician · 26/10/2011 22:08

The garden actually made me do this face Shock. The fireplace was possibly the best example of pretentious wank I have ever seen.

fivegomadindorset · 26/10/2011 22:09

Just doing plus one

Smugfearnleyshittingstool · 26/10/2011 22:09

I think they are swingers, her boobs looked enhanced too! That fish tank was not for fish, naked orgy pond dipping I reckon. Awful couple and a dated house. Poor neighbours, I hope they stay clear of any house warming, could be a bit kinky in that basement.

Byeckersiambloodyscarylike · 26/10/2011 22:11

Does anyone know when this episode is repeated?

In a week there are two programmes dh and i watch and they are on wed at 9 :(

Frozen Planet was amazing!

Smugfearnleyshittingstool · 26/10/2011 22:11

Eta..nothing against swinging or orgy btw, whatever floats.

PigeonPair · 26/10/2011 22:12

Sorry - Rudawakening - nothing to do with jealousy here or the fact that the house is not to my personal taste. I just can't believe how little consideration they have given to their neighbours and what might happen to their homes if their basement floods. I wonder if you would be so relaxed if that amount of work had gone on next to your house.

fivegomadindorset · 26/10/2011 22:13

Byecker it is on channel four plus one at the moment otherwise Sunday.

TethHearseEnd · 26/10/2011 22:14

Rudeawakening, admit it, you're her Grin

fivegomadindorset · 26/10/2011 22:14

Dh is warming to MN thanks to this thread.

KatieMortician · 26/10/2011 22:17

Interesting suggestion. Am I jealous of some very ill mannered, arrogant people and their revolting, tacky house? Erm, nope!

noddyholder · 26/10/2011 22:31

It wasn,t that attractive in the end. The outside with those ryvita bricks looked dodgy and the interior had no longevity for the cost but it was beautifully finished and 'fun' but no style IMHO the gold sofa and dance floor were too try hard and the garden was hideous

noddyholder · 26/10/2011 22:32

Did you see the bit where he patronisednthe builders with a bottle of becks and said he hoped they hand,t been insulted by his brand of northern charm What a prat

fivegomadindorset · 26/10/2011 22:35

Just seen that bit noddy.

noddyholder · 26/10/2011 22:41

Not one of them smiled! I betbthey were awful to work for. I doubt they will stay in it but god knows who will buy it it was dated before it was finished! Very impractical too and cold. Kevin didn,t like them you can always tell!

fivegomadindorset · 26/10/2011 22:42

Kevin doesn't like them does he Grin, he was a bit too gleeful about the river.

PigeonPair · 26/10/2011 22:48

He looked as if he was about to crack up when she was going on about the colour of the garden walls (trying to convince herself that they looked good) No rapport there at all and no warmth in his commentary. You can always tell (like with Phil and Kirsty).

fivegomadindorset · 26/10/2011 22:51

No one mentioned the fireplace in the garden.

mycatsaysach · 26/10/2011 23:48

eeeeeeeeek

they made their very own big brother house

i'm with the neighbours on this one - bet the couple sell up and cash in soon as

ChildofIsis · 26/10/2011 23:58

I thought of big brother when I saw the fireplace in the garden.
What were the planners thinking.

The whole thing screams 'look at me, look what I can do'.
Like a kid with power point.

FimBOOOOOO · 27/10/2011 00:05

I was sort of facebooking inbetween and switched off a bit from it, did we get to see their bedroom? The kids rooms looked tiny, where was the space for their clothes? And all that rubbish about getting the bedroom finished for the girl's birthday. Gah.

mousyfledermaus · 27/10/2011 07:17
