I'm taking cbeebies too seriously....

[mumclaire]

I can't help it - I just have to make little comments all the time.... mostly to do with the complete incompetence of some of the adults....
auntie Mabels carbon footprint must be huge just why does she use her plane to go down the shops??
I'm sorry but I really don't think Mickey John would pass an ofsted inspection - no lesson planning and what school secretary does teachers marking?? and don't get me started on dr. juno who cleaned the hospital the other day... and granny murray had her mindees cleaning her house!!
and just who was the idiot that employed pc plum?? the man is a buffoon whom I witnessed tracking his own footprints the other day
I could go on...... help me please!!

That is a disturbing thought, Madamez.

The music bits at the beginning and the end of ITNG are the only bits that I like about it. I like that the music is soft and sad and melodic - such a change from the oompah of teletubbies or many of the other programmes.

dd has a cardboard box that she uses as her boat and has a blanket and a cardboard mast. Back to what you were saying, she asks where my father is (he is dead, sadly) and once said: 'is he in his boat, like Iggle Piggle?'

Spooky.

Thank God it's not just me Madamez. DP looked at me a bit funny when I told him what it makes me think of. Agree Brr at the child's funeral, but you know it's probably already happened as it's such a popular programme with the little uns.

I am enjoying the Magic Roundaboutish (!?) stories for all the characters though - Daisy is of ill repute, the Pontipines are under investigation by SS for loosing their children, Macka Packa's ODS, and that the Wotingers are illegal imigrants and that's why we don't see them often.

When the Wottingers were actually featured the night before last, DS couldn't believe what he was seeing. He kept pointing and shouting 'Oooh' every time they came on screen.

The Wottingers are the blue ones?

Not Cbebies I know (sorry) but has anyone seen Yo GAbba Gabba on Nick Jr?

Word to the wise

DON'T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

• Granny Murray can't be any more than 40, surely? And, no offence, but Billy (or whatever her name is) always look like she's just won the lottery, despite the fact that she's leaving her kid all night to go and clean buses.

• Is it me or does Numberjacks look really cheap and nasty - like it was made by the same people who made Murphy's Mob in the 1980s?

• Poy has to have the worst singing voice in the history of the world

• Does Sid now look happier since his rapping mate, Andy, arrived. Also, are they ever going to release the No. 1 (and 2) rap song they do?

• Has anyone seen Mr. Tumble's Cliff Richard impersonation. Genuinely hilarious. ps. what ever happened to Sarah Jane?

GM is apparently 36 - she is younger than I am!!!! Anyone who calls me granny any time soon will have bits removed.

Don't know what happended to Sarah Jane, but both ds and dh miss her.

GM played Isa in "Still game"

Me & DH want to see "Granny Murray's House has two at home today..."

Cut to Victor & Jack eating Gregg's Steak slices & telling everyone to "pish aff"

Oh yes - and Raymond & Tina "married". Right. Ahem.

the other day there was an entire episode of Play Safe With The Tweenies warning children not to get inside a fridge

"It's cold and dark inside a fridge" went the song

is getting into a fridge really one of the top dangers for young children? Along with handling sharp knives and playing with cleaning fluids?

do people have nothing inside their fridges? Do they leave fridges empty hanging around for children to wander into? Why aren't their fridges filled with 217 fecking Lazytown yogurts?

ooo - thats a good point - just how much time does postman pat spend solving non-post related problems...surely mrs goggins post office faces the axe under his latest round of cuts?? and as for norman price - why has that child not got an asbo yet???
I think the wottingers are the most sensible characters - only making an appearance every so often - constantly trying to distance themselves from everyone else...

Leave Norman Price alone - I think his mum used to be his dad!

you can watch the number raps on the cbeebies website.

They are strangely mesmorising.

Doodle do has to be the one genuinely amusing prog on there. Especially the one with the story of the hare and the tortoise ('but tortoises don't have hair' etc etc)

Am astonished that BC/LC manage to keep that cafe going - aside from the h&s issues/lack of customers/length of time it takes to prepare meals - none of the food they produce appears to be edible.

IF they got rid of norman price fireman sam and the others would no longer have a job.

He is the cause of 99.9% of incidents in Pontypandy.

I suspect soon we will see episodes of them sneaking him boxes of matches to play with.

Rustie, I agree about Andy and Sid, they make such a lovely couple.

Do you think an ASBO for Norman would help Sam get his workload under control?

Fridge episode of tweenies made me go

Then I remembered how much off my childhood I spent being taught the same (well that and about glue-sniffing).

I had never even thought about trying it until they told me not too...

I liked the Tweenies safety one where Max and Judy left Bella alone in the house and Bella climed on a chair (that appears to be OK) and then got bottles of bleach etc down. The message was that Bella should not play with cleaning stuff - don't think the point about the CM leaving a pre school age child on its own was touched upon.

God yes - child locks as well maybe?

Had similar feelings about the one where BElla gets the big knife out.

I love Andy - he's so happy to be on TV. I hope he gets a big gig.

I can't get it out of my head now

"Cold, dark, dark and cold, that's what's inside a fridge"

plus chilly dance

I thought the fridge thing was odd, too. About 30-40 years ago there used to be more of a problem with fridges because fridge doors latched (so could not be opened from the inside) and a kid playing in an empty (dumped) one could get stuck and suffocate. But modern fridges, you just push the door open.
And what happened to Melvin and Maureen's Musicograms? I found that hilarious (particularly as I was at school with 'Maureen'. As was Mrs John Cusak )

Faves in our house are Pinky Dinky Doo and Jackanory Junior.
DD is frightened of the number taker and watches from round the corner...

Although DD likes Pinky Dinky Doo the PROGRAMME she hates Pinky Dinky Doo the CHARACTER. She is always asking where Daphne is.

Oh and I LOVE Pingu.
When I was an engineer we all used to stop in the maintenance room for tea, cake and watch Pingu. Sad or what?!

My best mate fancies Sportacus and DD wants to be Stephanie. DD also afraid of Robbie Rotten.
"I don't like him"
"You're not meant to like him"
"You always say that"
"Well it must be true then"
Mind you, excruitiating to the nth degree though Lazy Town is it must do its job as DD now eats carrots "because Sportacus does".

I have a soft spot for Andy. He's always so happy and just pleased to be there.

Dp refers to him as 'the one who looks like a serial killer'.

DP and I have lengthy convos about CBeebies.

We surmise the following:

Balamory is like the Wicker Man

Tina from Me Too is like Babs from Babs Cabs in League of Gentlemen (Pink taxi+looking like a pre op trannie)

Josie Jump is a crack whore

He's PC Pluuuum, and he takes it up the bum....with his magnifying glass, he can look right up yer ass...

It's only a matter of time before BCLC's café is closed down by EHO, when they find the charred remains of little cook in a hymn book shaped meat pie, cooked for Roger the Choirboy, after he "accidentally" fell in there

Max from the Tweenies is on some sort of "register"
