MAFS UK is a coming - and probably sponsored by pommiebears

[SheldonesqueTheBstard]

Be still my gnarly black heart. Love fest ‘coming soon’.

Get your pouts ready for the ‘gram and your flags at the ready 🇬🇧

I forgot to apply. But no doubt that will be a relief for the Producers.

There ain’t enough satin in the world to cover this harris.

And the veil could never hide my face well enough to stop my groom doing a Julia Roberts.

Maybe next time….

That should be wondering if there are too many restraining orders to navigate.

Sausage fingers. See.

I'm in.

Let's see if the editing of MAFSAus has any impact on MAFSUK 😜

I love that you are all awaft dear warrior. Only fans means something different these days but I need about 30 of the buggers for my room. I’m cooking.

I volunteer us to do Vera tours in kaftans. You’d be the knowledgeable one. I’d be presenting you a bit like they did on Wheel of Fortune/price is right etc. we’d rock it. And there would be a breeze nae canny on the coast to wobble our kaftans (and lurks!).

If it got typical weather wise, we can have a Mac and a hat and go full Vera!

Anyway, I digress lovely. I haven’t spotted the reunion programme either yet. But someone will spot it.

Derek made me cry and laugh for various reasons. I once knew someone just like him and I think of him with the fondest of memories.

And it had one of my favourite lines I think in ‘rubbing the word twat off a crab’

And something which broke me. I recognised something too deep in me. With Kev and regrets. And it was like a twisting knife.

”I always try the easy way out you know. Always… well I thought it was the easy way out. Yeah. Always looked for an angle.looked for a short cut. I should have worked hard… but I gambled (with life) and I drank.

…And I begged and I hoped. I’m a coward. A failure I guess. I’m not a failure because I didn’t succeed. I’m a failure because I didn’t try.”

and then he said that Derek took the only shortcut that is good. The only shortcut that works.. Kindness.

So I try.

Sorry that went a bit too sad there for a minute. But it was perfectly put for me. It was me. Sorry. You can tell it really stuck with me. Like a tortoise shell.

Anyway. To days wafting on the coast my lovely.

And to the upcoming MAFS. 😘

Och they’ve already gone all Aus dramastylee with our UK one jellybean It has spoiled it (but I still watch!)

it should be Rammied at First Sight.
(rammy is scottish for a brawl or argument just in case you thought I was making up my own words again) 😌

Ah Sheldy. It's ok to get a bit deep with the likes of Derek. After all, it's meant to make us think innit? My 10 year old daughter caught me watching today. She stayed for half an hour then said "I get this. I really get this, Mummy. The Man is supposed to be stupid, but actually he is really intelligent and thoughtful, and kind. And the old people. Most people think old people are just useless. But actually, they are clever. They have lived long lives and have stories. And young people aren't supposed to get old people, because old people are supposed to hate the younger generation. But actually they were young too, and us young people are going to be old one day"

I just said "well done, pet. You've got the gist of it, you've got the true meaning, and you've understood the concept of nuance within comedy"

I think we've all felt a bit Kevin in our lives. And if you haven't, then you haven't lived. To accept ones flaws is a powerful thing.

Deep? Me? No.

Rubbing the word twat off a crab.

As you were.

Your wee lass sees what needed to be seen. You must be so proud.

To feeling a bit Kevin cariad 🥂
And to rubbing crabs 🦀 x

I thought Marylise was rumoured to be with Luke?

Remember Bob??? Love him.

She was wasn’t she. Never heard more on that though - they are now just mates and she is looking for him if various articles are to be believed 🤷🏻‍♀️

I didn’t care for Bob. Megan got a very, very rough trot. And he stood by and watched everyone chops away at her for ages. All because she didn’t fancy the funny clown character of the group. I vaguely recall the petted lip he pulled when she wouldn’t ‘act like a wife’ that first night.

He may be a good guy but he didn’t act like it. I didn’t like him at all after that.

Im a fickle old trout. 🥴

and of all folk she kissed that Jordon one. Everyone mostly thought Frankie was the wrong ‘in.

NU-uh. That was the one that gave me the heebies. Proper ones.

The reunion is right after the first episode of the new series on Monday evening.

God you are good Nog 🤩

See nog’s post above @RainbowZebraWarrior 🥳

Ooh, I am primed to work through my ironing pile on Monday evenings, let’s hope I don’t burn anything!

I've got a lot of knitting to do, but I'm starting to wonder how many ads there will be in a 95 minute episode.

I am on MAFS usa.. i don't know how i missed last series but enjoying binge watching it.

This is going to be great.

THIS Monday - this one coming??? Oooh, I thought I had to wait another week. Woohoo! Little things bring so much pleasure these days.

I think it’s the 29th which is next Monday.

Yes, sorry, I should have been clearer that when I said "Monday" I meant the Monday, the blessed Monday of the return of MAFSUK, which is next Monday, the 29th, and not this Monday, today. Didn't mean to confuse!

Next Monday we have two hours and twenty minutes of MAFSUK from 9pm. The blurb says that the reunion show features, "Amy, Morag, Nikita, Megan, Bob, Tayah, Adam, Matt and Daniel"

Ok, I can wait another week (just). More time for antici.....
pation

Only Connect also returns that evening, another favourite show!

Was so good until they changed the format to make it like the Australian one

Ooh, I'm just having a quick catch up.

Didn't care much for Bob, however he was probably a bit misunderstood (I say that as a person who simply couldn't have coped with him) but I took issue with Megan getting all the flak. I liked her. She should definitely not have kissed Jordon though. Urgh, urgh, urgh.

Loving the Rocky Horror quote there ❤

I'm so excited to have MAFS back and to pick apart their terrible traits with you all again.

Madness will take its toll …. 😍

For some reason I can only stomach the Australian one. No idea why. I don't ever wish to go there.
