Surely if you are going to call a character Granny someone, they need to be older than about 45!! I suppose her mother must have had her when she was 15.. and she followed suit! Tut tut...

she looks younger than 45.....I'd say about 30

is that the one on "me too" kids progs?

I don't know what programme it is and I have never seen it

Can I also ask regarding 'me too' - which city is it set in? I mean I can see Edinburgh castle but then I also recognise other landmarks from other cities too. Please dont say Riverseafingle!!

Its an amalgam, so there can be no complaints to scupper it like Balamory.

How old would Isla St Clair be now then?

Ds1 says I look like Granny Murray

Oooohhhh thsi is DSs fave programme and our whole sky+ is Mee Too!! He walks round the house saying Do It, Do it beat the cock before it chimes - nmush to his granny's disgust and mine and DHs sniggers - gets a bit much that he sings it in his sleep too - not sure about a 2 year old singing about beating the cock thoguh!!

I would not leave my DCs with GM though - she is weird and what is it with looking after Dr Juno of the scarey eyebrows dog too?? And Tina and Raymond how often do I have to say that this pairing is unlikely because he is gay and she is the most vile woman I have ever seen - if you were that freaky and ugly would you dress in such a way to draw attention to it and to drive a pink taxi - me thinks not - she should be a civil servant hiding in a faceless office as to not make the rest of us suffer from seeing her!!

And Mickey John - he is the worst actor on the planet - he has a few second delay to him when reacting and speaking which makes it seem as though my sky+ has frozen ever so slightly !!

And Rudi - DH is disgusted that they are always making references to seeing things and having a look later when he is around - says its bad taste!!

And what is it with the River Seafingal band??? Talentless bunch of misfits!!

I could go on and on after watching every single episode of this that they have ever made!!

she makes me want to drag my fingernails down a chalkboard.

Biglips · 20/03/2007 09:27

oh i cant stand her esp the way she put on that voice that goes thru me!!!

expatinscotland · 20/03/2007 09:29

The DDs love that show. I think it's because of her accent, tbh.

I cannot say 'Murray' the way they do.

She's Isa from Still Game to me.

Maybe "Granny Murray" is the name she uses for her "older" clients IYSWIM...

Aww, Mr Rooney, come awee in.....
