Firstly Bob the Builder. When they move to Sunflower Valley, Wendy doesn't seem to be there. But in the DVD we have of Series One there seems to be a romantic subplot between Bob and Wendy. Has he left her for another woman, man, or even machine? What happened? Is Bob mirroring the antics of player Neil Morrissey?

Secondly In the Night Garden. DS asked me where Iggle Piggle puts his boat when he arrives at the garden. I told him that he puts it on a beach and then comes into the woods to play with his friends. He pointed out that it doesn't look like seaside and you can't hear the sea. I find myself stumped by a 2 year old. Any ideas?

Thirdly Postman Pat's Special Delivery Service. Why do the residents of Greendale put up with this shoddy service? Does Pat have some kind of hold over them, or is he well-connected with the underworld causing them to be too afraid to complain? Or are they just aware that Pat is the big star, and if they complain their career in the reality TV world will be over? I mean, he loses everything or damages it, by the time people get stuff it's half broken. he is always late, and then everyone cheers and says that he's saved the day. Something is very suspicious about this postman...

Fourthly (and finally I promise!) Charlie and Lola - why does no-one call social services about these children? Charlie has taken on a parental role in the family while still at primary school. You never see the mother, I can only assume that she's sitting off-camera in a gin-soaked haze. They're like the love children of Kate Moss and Russell Brand - beautifully dressed, lovely flat, trendy friends, but you wouldn't let your kid go round to play, would you?

Glad I got that little rant off my chest. Congrats if you got this far

To answer the Rudy from Me Too question:

Rudy was always married to the trumpet player girl, and she takes the kid to Granny Murray's just as often as he does, it's just that we don't see her because her life is so boring that it's not even worth an episode of Me Too.

When she bumps into him during the day, he says "ah, it's my beautiful wife Chuck"

I want to know if Mickey John and Bobbi have something going on... there's deffo something more than "our kids go to the same childminder" between them!

fruitstick I thought Stan was their father. You mean they do actually have a Dad that appears? In which case, I deduce that Amy & Ryan aren't too enamoured with their "father" (maybe a stepfather?) and are trying to set up their mum and Stan.

Charlie slept in the hall the other night because he was fed up of Lola not tidying their room. Why did mum & dad not discipline more?

And slightly off note - Ben in Postman Pat SDS, is he modelled on Ben Fogle?

The guy that runs a toy shop near us put this on his site.

Explains a lot

Wow - was someone in my head this morning!!!! When DH and I were busy in the garden he was asking if we'd left responsibility of DD2 to DD1 so I said yes, Charlie and Lola's parents have been getting away with it for years now - why has no one called social services.

Also agree about the diversity in Balamory. And D1 has commented several times that Miss Hoolie keeps on forgeting my name

Another question though - what has happened to everyone else in Jane and the Dragon, was there a cholera epidemic or something that wiped out everyone.

love that site Macdog. Late night reading with a glass or two of pink milk methinks

quint · 08/02/2009 19:17

great website, very funny

Macdog · 08/02/2009 19:27

He is a really funny bloke in RL too - must tell him I'm plugging his shop on MN. Might get commission

And this is going to sound very un pc but is Rudy blind?

nannyogg · 10/02/2009 09:16

omg Macdog, I came across that site the other day when trying to find out what happened to the first Josie Jump. Had me and DH chortling.

Personally I'd like to know if the entire railway system on Sodor is subject to a quarterly health and safety review. The number of bumps and crashes causing confusion and delay is surely quite unacceptable.

Rudy is blind - he's also a stand up in real life. In fact, lots of these childrens TV people are. Archie from Balamory has won awards and stuff.

I spend far too much time googling these people.
