Very excited!

Paul Hollywood does piss me off tbh, but I love seeing all the cakes & stuff. Will probably have to make something to eat whilst watching it though...

Oh, all right, Grin NI isn't part of Britain as in the British Isles.

But it is part of the United Kingdom, no?

VikingVagine · 21/08/2013 18:38

Yup, although The Great United Kindomish Bakeoff just doesn't have the same ring to it Grin

Tee2072 · 21/08/2013 18:54

I live in NI, BTW. I'm well aware what it is part of. It is not part of Britain. It is part of the United Kingdom.

In other words: who gives a fuck if every park of the UK/Britain is on the show?

Stokes · 21/08/2013 19:15

But people from NI are British (if they so choose to see themselves yadda yadda yadda). I think British in the GBBO title can be interpreted similarly.

Tee2072 · 21/08/2013 20:05

I'm not British. I'm American. Grin

I am being pedantic because it's a ridiculous thing to worry about on a fucking baking show, FFS.

flippinada · 21/08/2013 20:24

Argh! Just typed out a big long post with my opinion of all the contestants and then lost it.

Anyway, glad to see it back. Very bloody first episode, cuts galore.

Current fave is the jolly teacher.

MissStrawberry · 21/08/2013 21:16

I was away and missed it. Can anyone please tell me if and when it is repeated?

WhiteandGreen · 21/08/2013 21:31

It's on iplayer now.

It was an enjoyable show, as ever, but scored pretty low for cake porn.

MissStrawberry · 21/08/2013 21:41

Thank you WaG.

CruCru · 21/08/2013 21:59

Argh! Why is this on? I have gestational diabetes and at least another five weeks before I give birth. Damn. I love this show. And I (usually) love to bake.

ReturnofSaturn · 21/08/2013 22:01

Was it on tonight?

wintera · 21/08/2013 22:02

Quite surprised to learn that Toby who went out last night is only 30 apparently.

Changebagsandgladrags · 21/08/2013 22:12

That's what 30 years of eating salt cake does....

CruCru · 21/08/2013 22:32

Seriously? He was younger than me?

LetUsPrey · 21/08/2013 23:08

Loved last night's programme!

The Mighty Mighty Monkseal's blog is already up and running Grin

WhiteandGreen · 21/08/2013 23:52

I thought Toby seemed 26.

VikingVagine · 22/08/2013 00:00

That blog always gets me giggling Grin

WhiteandGreen · 22/08/2013 01:49

That blog was funnier than I thought it was going to be.

wintera · 22/08/2013 07:25

Love that blog. Must admit I did laugh when Toby said he'd cut his thingy. Glad to see I'm not the only immature one watching.

ppeatfruit · 22/08/2013 08:39

Oh God letus i needed a laugh this morning that blog is effing hilarious thanks!!!!!!

Forgetfulmog · 22/08/2013 08:49

WRF to the discussion about N.I. I may be wrong but isn't it part of GREAT Britain? and isn't the programme called The GREAT British Bake Off? With the great not being used as an adjective!!!!

HahaHarrie · 22/08/2013 09:09

I've only just watched it. Rob is very good, but I hope he shows some personality.

Toby reminds me of Dylan Moran. How old is he? I like him.

I predict the stunning yet inept Ruby will go next week.

Tee2072 · 22/08/2013 09:18

No, ppeat. The official name of the country in which, I think, we all reside is:

The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

Look at your passport some time.

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 22/08/2013 09:25

God, I wish I hadn't got involved in the UK/Britain/NI barney now! That's a bit snippy isn't it, Tee?
