The Goodies...

...they were rubbish, weren't they?

Dh is watching a programme on BBC2 about them now - I never liked them as a child and I am congratulating myself on my perspicacity (blimey, that's a good word after 3 glasses of wine). They are completely unfunny. Dh liked them of course. Men.

Too many girlfriends to mention!

QueSerahSerah · 30/12/2005 22:56

Ah, but my mum and dad love them, and my brother - he's bigger than your family and I am sre this must count

notasheep · 30/12/2005 22:56

I wanted to be a lodger at their house

QueSerahSerah · 30/12/2005 22:56

*sure

tamum · 30/12/2005 22:57

Yes, my brother too. Gomez, are you sure? Should you maybe check with them all?

QueSerahSerah · 30/12/2005 22:59

lol notasheep

Were you that french hitchhiker my mum kicked me out of my bed at around 11pm for though so he could have my bed (wtf???), just so she could practice her french on him at breakfast (if that sounds bad it's just your imaginations)

I seem to recall he liked the Goodies too

gomez · 30/12/2005 23:04

100% positive - no member of my family, friend, work colleagues or casual acquaintance has EVER liked the Goodies. Even fleetingly.....

(She lies, badly)

I have precisely 2,384 friends and they all hate the Goodies.

And black pudding is horrid.

I have 2385. And they all adore the Goodies. Ner ner.

gomez · 30/12/2005 23:11

Stop - black pudding is lush. The two issues are mutually exclusive.

Ah but I have a large family. 97,973. And they all detest the Goodies. And 99.3% of them have PhDs so are very, very clever.

Black pudding is truly vile. And I am Mancunian born and bred.

105% of my family are members of Mensa! Pah, mere doctors what do they know.

tamum · 30/12/2005 23:13

OK, it's a fair cop. You win, they're appalling

(you do still love me though, don't you?)

gomez · 30/12/2005 23:14

Scottish black pudding is wunderbar! No imitations allowed.

gomez · 30/12/2005 23:15

Well I do Tamum just beacuse you always sound so bloody clever!

notasheep · 30/12/2005 23:16

dp is in Mensa,he doesnt like black pudding but he has a big floppy cap!!! and a white kitten who will be ruling the town tomorrow!!!!!!

PantomimEDAMe · 30/12/2005 23:16

I liked them at the time because I was below the age of discernment... think they'd come off air by the time I went to junior school.

Dh stuck this on and was guffawing away but left me completely cold. V. blokey. The Patrician in Terry Pratchett's novels has a particular form of torture reserved for mime artists (snake infested pit with the instruction 'learn the words' painted in large letters on the walls, IIRC. I'd apply it to slapstick and visual humour if I ran the world...

tamum · 30/12/2005 23:17

Thank you gomez . I'm not, clearly, esp. given my taste

gomez · 30/12/2005 23:17

Aye but the Mensa thing relates to the Goodies not black pudding notasheep!

Gomez, I'm an anti with my family of PhDs - you've lost the plot there, hon I'm on your side (or my side, oh, who cares...I lovesh you all)

gomez · 30/12/2005 23:20

Ah, Tamum intelligence and taste are too very different things - as demonstrated by my DH who is clever yet fancies me! (Well, I think he does but comparing our sex life to some of the threads recently I might be wrong on that )
