I hate:
Fish fingers, Radio Three, onions, broccolli, The Carpenters, cats, Lincolnshire, monkeys, France, vodka, fashion designers, oysters, Elton John, peppermint creams, Garry Bushell, the 1960s, Radiohead, the Tricorn Centre Plymouth (even though it’s been demolished), fashion models, cheese ‘n pickle sandwiches, leeks, Steve Wright, Look North and cauliflower.
HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE!
Thankfully, courtesy of George Orwell and (more importantly) television, there’s a place for me to deposit my hate – Room 101. Thanks to this wonderful room, you and I can dump the stuff we loathe, leaving lots and lots of shit-free space in our heads to fill with lovely stuff. Lovely stuff such as world peace, the joyful laughter of a happy child … and really quite extraordinarily large knockers.
So, what five pieces of anger-inducing effluent would YOU consign to the prison that is Room 101? And why? What’s got your goat so much you need to lock it away in an imaginary room for ever and ever, amen?
As we’re a telly site, we’re looking for telly shows to throw in Room 101 primarily. Obviously, this being Watch With Mothers, that rule’ll last what? Eight comments? Six?
Ah well, fuck it … it is Friday after all.
Over to you, ladies and gentlemen …

Watch With Mothers 
February 27, 2009 at 8:55 am
Well, I hate a lot of things, but if i can also stretch it to radio, here are my first top 5
1. Radio phone -ins, and more specifically the rabid cockweasels that phone into them. I cannot listen to them anymore, due to health reasons.
2. The bullshit analysis that comes after sports matches
3. Trisha/Jeremy Kyle/programmes that exploit the sad situations of the desperate and stupid
4. Parents that complain that Cbeebies now has a presenter with one arm, on the grounds that they don’t want their children to ask questions about said arm
5. The Hate Mail’s idiotic crusade against the BBC.
Not exactly about TV programmes, but close enough.
Oh, and I forgot Jeremy Clarkson. Can’t flaming stand him.
Thanks SH, this has been quite cathartic.
February 27, 2009 at 8:58 am
Oh, and also on radio phone ins, some of them, especially on local radio are also presented by ignorant rabid cockweasels
I think you may have opened a floodgate here today SH, did you think what you might be letting yourself in for?

*interestedly awaits Breeks*
February 27, 2009 at 9:12 am
1. ITV sports coverage as a whole.
2. Being Human – a patchwork of stolen ideas fronted by Russell Tovey’s confused child face.
3. Channel 4 news, specifically the rampant editorialisation and hand wringing anguish of the journalism.
4. Non-specific BBC3 comedy, so smart and self aware they refuse to write any jokes.
5. Drooling, infantile sexist dance videos on 4music at approximately 1am, Friday night / Sat morning. Specifically the one with all the power tools. And the no-budget despair of the phone / text lines in the ad breaks.
February 27, 2009 at 9:15 am
I can’t actually think of any.
Apart from whatever it is Going For Gold’s morphed into on Channel 5 at the moment.

I have also seen Law and Order UK advertised, which makes me angry. I bet it’s shit too, and that is definitely a jump over one too many sharks.
February 27, 2009 at 9:30 am
Well I have to disagree with 2 so far.
Mel: 2. The bullshit analysis that comes after sports matches.
That’s all a part of it. It continues in the pub afterwards.
ADLL:3. Channel 4 news, specifically the rampant editorialisation and hand wringing anguish of the journalism.
It’s the best news on the box.
February 27, 2009 at 9:33 am
TM – yes my boyfriend says the same thing. RUBBISH. if it is to be continued then it should ONLY be in the pub after, and not on my telly.
I agree with you about the news though.
February 27, 2009 at 9:44 am
” They should call that ‘Going for Shit’ ”
That would be an entirely different show, and probably wouldn’t have got commissioned.

2 Any CH5 Freak show
3 Trinny and Suzanna…..just fuck off!
4 Any show with Nick Ferari or Piers Moron contained therein.
5 Eastenders……don’t get me started
February 27, 2009 at 9:54 am
1. Eastenders (oooh, controversial)
2. Comic Relief – not actually in any way Comic, nor any kind of Relief.
3. That idiot thing where D-list celebs have to jump through the hole in a moving wall? Oh yes, Hole In The Wall. Jesus wept.
4. Noel’s House Party or whatever it is called this year. Just stop.
5. Anything with U2 playing, speaking or just standing around looking like mega-rich God-bothering bog-trotting pub musicians.
That’ll do for starters.
February 27, 2009 at 10:01 am
I was going to say Comic Relief, but didn’t want to be called curmudgeonly, although i agree with fourstar, neither comic nor relieving.

February 27, 2009 at 10:09 am
bog trotters – the common insult to rural Irish folk, as Ireland is full of peat bogs. Good for fuel and compost but too wet to grow much. Implies stupidity due to not living somewhere better (although they couldn’t because the English had nicked all the good land)

i HATE that guy from not going out. what a smug twat.
February 27, 2009 at 10:46 am
Lead Balloon is utter rubbish. Jack Dee ran out of stand up material years ago so he resorted to nicking Larry David’s idea, erasing all the charm from the script, shoehorning in a ‘wacky’ American and a stereotype au pair… it’s just irritating television.
The Old Guys is pretty good – a much better example of a mainstream sitcom that works.
As for ‘bog-trotting’ – that qualifies whoevers saying it for a list.
Was it Ashby?
*puts Ashby on list in indelible pen*
As I type this a pair of blue tits are nibbling my nuts through a pane of glass. Seriously.
February 27, 2009 at 10:47 am

He’s ace. Not Going Out is alright, and Mack’s stand up stuff is some of the best in the country.

February 27, 2009 at 10:50 am
Lead Balloon’s great. Swineshead doesn’t know what he’s on about. And that’s the end of that.
And how can you hate Lee Mack? He’s a gag machine-gun.
February 27, 2009 at 10:51 am
LB= good
LM = annoying and oh, so cheesy
February 27, 2009 at 10:52 am
BM – Wrong.
February 27, 2009 at 10:54 am
Lee Mack is irritating. Comes from the Chris Rock school of shouting your stand up routine so the energy detracts from fact he’s not as good as some others. And SH hit the nail on the head with Lead Balloon.
February 27, 2009 at 10:54 am
I’m with Naps on Lead Balloon. It’s beautiful…
February 27, 2009 at 10:55 am
Typical Irish; love dishing out the ‘craic’, can’t take it back. I’ve played gigs in Belfast and the abuse we got in the name of ‘local sense of humour’ was disgusting. But turn it back on them and they got all shirty.
Just saying it how I see it. Stick me on your list, SH.
February 27, 2009 at 10:56 am
Wait, what kind of list? I didn’t use it, I was questioning its useability. I thought it might be deemed a little bit offensive. I remain surprised that this may not be the case.
February 27, 2009 at 10:57 am
Ugeine – You’re an arsehole. Lead Balloon’s ace. I don’t see why people keep comparing it to Curb Your Enthusiasm. It’s nothing like Curb Your Enthusiasm.
Nick – You’re right.
Ugeine – I forgot to say: You should be smeared in excrement.
Badger – You’re wrong. And you, too, should be smeared in excrement.
February 27, 2009 at 10:57 am
Badger – You’re not wrong about Lead Balloon, by the way. You should be only half-smeared in excrement.
February 27, 2009 at 10:58 am
Doesn’t ‘the craic’ refer to fun and enjoyment?
February 27, 2009 at 11:01 am

2. n edmonds
3. american glossy soaps with indie music soundtrack
4. myself for watching lady gaga on youtube
5. the welsh

Often, Ashby.
And I am only half Irish, so retain my rights to be offended on behalf of both parties.
It does remind me of my favourite line in a sitcom
Superhans in Peep Show “This Crack’s a bit moreish”
February 27, 2009 at 11:05 am
Mel’s half Irish? Shit! Hide the grenades!

My five are:
Look North – The bright orange woman and the ‘hilarious’ weather man make my skin creep.
Anything starring Gok Wan – I’ve never actually watched anything starring Gok Wan, but I’m reasonably certain it’d be the sort of thing that would leave me roaring with rage.
After You’ve Gone – Because there must be hundreds of clever, inventive, interesting, talented, etc. writers of comedy out there who are being ignored by the BBC in favour of SHIT like this.
My Family – See above.
Cookery shows, architecture shows, gardening shows – Braindead, 50p TV. No different to sitting on a stool watching paint dry.

” And I am only half Irish, so retain my rights to be offended on behalf of both parties. ”
There is perhaps a wider issue here, that the phrase ‘bog-trotter’ hasn’t been used since about 1974 and is generally assumed to be offensive terminology.
This clearly isn’t the forum for this kind of debate.
February 27, 2009 at 11:25 am
Ashby – I’ve been using ‘bog-trotter’ since 1979. This disproves your theory.
February 27, 2009 at 11:27 am
Not sure i get you Ashby, what has me being an equal rights offence-taker go to do with the common use of the term big trotter? I merely know what it means due to having been called it.
February 27, 2009 at 11:28 am
Mel – Did you take offence when I called you a cud-chewing rapist? I’m updating my records, see?
February 27, 2009 at 11:28 am
Not saying i would wish to be in a hundred miles of the disgusting little shits portrayed therein, but i believe the main attraction of those shows, for them as likes them, is the glitizy high class living. I believe the general idea is you should want to be the pretty people.
February 27, 2009 at 11:31 am
Napoleon – I have never taken offence at anything you say, it simply washes over me.
Excelsior – but surely the pretty people are not always portrayed in the best light in these shows?
February 27, 2009 at 11:31 am
Mel / Ashby – like, get a room, yeah?
Let’s have none more of this Irish debate. It’s the Scotch I can’t understand. They don’t make any sense, and they’ve all got red heads.
There is simply too much bad television to whittle it down to five things. I give up.
February 27, 2009 at 11:31 am
I’d love to be one of the pretty people, Excelsior, as I’m sure Swineshead would too. Sadly, my huge nose, ears and forehead preclude me, as does Swineshead’s hamster cheeks, bird beak nose and ‘hilarious’ curly hair.
February 27, 2009 at 11:33 am
I agree with Swineshead. The Scotch are a mysterious race. And they’re notoriously mean with their money.
February 27, 2009 at 11:33 am
He’s right, Exelsior… Napper’s rat-hair and stubble-less chin along with his bulbous nasal growth means he will never join their ranks.
Similarly, my ferret-like top lip, yellow teeth and furry ears mean I’m black-balled before I’ve even filled the forms in.
February 27, 2009 at 11:35 am
Mel – I may be getting my wires crossed here, but are you granting permission for offensive slang to once again be hurled at the Irish?
February 27, 2009 at 11:38 am
I have plenty of stubble on my chin, thanks very much. I have no argument with the hair comment.
You forgot to mention you’re both fat and five foot high.
February 27, 2009 at 11:38 am
Permission is not mine to give, i merely provide information.
Back on topic, Lenny Henry, these days; the Vicar of Dibley; that abominable spin off of Only Fools and Horses, the one with only the unsuccessful actors (the alive ones); Anne “abusive” Robinson; and and and

And you’re the one with the pot-belly, you monstrous abomination.
February 27, 2009 at 11:50 am
Mel – There are some like My Super Sweet 16th, that seem constructed purely with the intention to create hate figures and do this job even better then the likes of BB.
However i know several, otherwise nice people, who lust after the whole power/wealth package and used to hold up the OC as a model of how they wanted their lives to be. Bleugh.
Napps & SH – its inner beauty that counts though yeah? That pictures got inner beauty in spades.
February 27, 2009 at 11:50 am
Sorry I feel I started this with my (utterly warranted) abuse of U2.

February 27, 2009 at 11:59 am
I’m reading some rubbish written by a mother / daughter team about a murderer recreating murders he’s seen in a game. It’s rubbish and, being written by women, every character needs what they’re wearing described everytime they appear. Rubbish.

4 – any of the ‘perky’ filler music as the T4 twats ‘present’. actually, anything ‘yoof’.
5 – in the night garden. it’s BROKEN.
i cannot ream reality tv. i’m a watcher. yesterday i watched e-love on the wedding channel which was about people back in the 90s who met online and met up in real life and it was shit and i loved it.
February 27, 2009 at 12:04 pm
I saw this bloody awful programme on MTV where ex partners and their current partners come together, and the exes are sent off to a luxury spa and the current partners get to spy on them. Awful exploitative, manipulative car crash telly. Couldn’t take my eyes off it, naturally.
February 27, 2009 at 12:05 pm
Is ‘in the night garden’ the tellytubbies for this generation?
I want to nominate the Telly fucking tubbies too. Unintelligible codswallop.
February 27, 2009 at 12:07 pm
Swineshead – It’s delightful, isn’t it? I was looking for an image that would draw casual readers in to the WWM web.
February 27, 2009 at 12:08 pm
Sometimes i squat in my hovel watching MTV’s Cribs and rock back and forward mumbling “at least money cant buy taste” over and over again.
February 27, 2009 at 12:10 pm
I’ve never watched ‘In The Night Garden’. I wouldn’t watch it even if I had kids. When I lived in a house with a four year old in it, I insisted on watching BBC Breakfast News in the morning, and listening to the radio in the afternoon. She didn’t like it, but it’s amazing how quickly you learn to tune out tears and temper-tantrums.
February 27, 2009 at 12:12 pm

I had reservations about sticking it up Nappers. Not sure why, it looks wonderful.
Ok, my first Room 101 is To Catch A Predator – because it’s not only badly made and self-satisfied, it also sets a dangerous precedent legally and politically.
February 27, 2009 at 12:16 pm
I have to confess to Lost as a guilty pleasure. I wouldnt be able to provide it with even the most basic defence in a court of law, but im determined to see the damn thing through to the end now.
February 27, 2009 at 12:16 pm
In The Night Garden is soooo last year. It’s all about Chuggington these days. I heard someone singing it randomly in Wickes the other day. Turns out it was me.
“We’re trainees, we’re making tracks…”

SH – Oh. I think that programme is beyond Room 101, i think that fits ito one of Dante’s Seven Circles…Jesus.

Why are rapists called thus?
I prefer the term Raper.

February 27, 2009 at 12:37 pm
Something that should definitely NOT go in room 101 was King Rollo, which i think was amimated by the same guy that did pigeon street, wasn’t it?
February 27, 2009 at 12:37 pm
Nick – Disgusting.
February 27, 2009 at 12:38 pm
Nick – is that the next entry in your 101 list?
February 27, 2009 at 12:38 pm
King Rollo was shit. Shitter than Pigeon Street. Which was also shit.
February 27, 2009 at 12:40 pm
Or was King Rollo by the same guy that did Mr Benn? It was definitely narrated by the same man.
February 27, 2009 at 12:41 pm
Yes Mel, unless you mean my lunch which I have just remembered also contains broccolli, then no.
February 27, 2009 at 12:46 pm
It IS a good pic Napoleon. Do you do birthday cards? The only ones i can ever find are those ones with some black and white picture of an old woman and a caption like ” Edna loved a nice big cock up her fanny” and there no good at all.
February 27, 2009 at 12:49 pm
Excelsior – I did used to do birthday cards, yes. I don’t anymore because, laughingly, I consider myself above that sort o’ thing nowadays. God knows why, the money’s fucking great.
February 27, 2009 at 12:55 pm
So, i imagine, is the money from sex trafficking. Youve got to draw a line somewhere.
*insert some kind of drawing pun that i cant be arsed to think of here*
February 27, 2009 at 1:03 pm
I’d love to profit from sex-trafficking, Excelsior. Unfortunately, my innate aversion to going to prison stops me. Instead, I’ve contented myself with sinking my money into the arms trade, the tobacco industry and several major pharmaceutical companies. I was quids in when Iraq kicked off. Lovely.
February 27, 2009 at 1:05 pm
Just rewatching 28 Days Later = why didn’t the little girl in it annoy me first time round? Her accent’s bloody awful.
February 27, 2009 at 1:06 pm
I saw the sequel to that and it made me think the Americans are right bastards.
February 27, 2009 at 1:09 pm
I love the gushing shit from the arse. It’s like a brown river. What I’d give to be able to produce a shit that majestic.
February 27, 2009 at 1:12 pm
Ugeine – You need what I’ve got, old son. That’s what I can look forward to every time I go for a shit.
February 27, 2009 at 1:13 pm
You’ve got to love the bit where the soldier gets his eye sockets thumbed. Take that, rapist!
February 27, 2009 at 1:14 pm
I’m all for thumbing eye sockets. And neck-snappings, obviously.
February 27, 2009 at 1:15 pm
Is it the remake of Dawn of The Dead where that girl gets her bellybutton ripped out?
February 27, 2009 at 1:35 pm
I think that’s Land of The Dead, Ugeine. Could be wrong. it all goes into a blur. I’m going to have another smoke and watch the Night of the Living Dead remake.
February 27, 2009 at 1:39 pm
Don’t watch the remake of Day of the Dead, whatever you do. If you can believe it, it’s worse than the original Day of the Dead.
February 27, 2009 at 1:43 pm
The original’s a good one, but the remake is near-unwatchable.
Seen [rec] yet Napperbabes?
February 27, 2009 at 1:44 pm
That’s it, Land of the Dead. Dawn of the Dead had the Richard Cheese cover of down with the sickness on it.
February 27, 2009 at 1:48 pm
My five are:
1: Wife Swap – ooh look, they’re from different backgrounds and have different values, lets see how many fights we can start by pairing them up.
2: Gok Wan – apart from airbrushed porn stars NOBODY looks good naked. We all look like we’ve just been poured into our skin from a cement mixer.
3: Eastenders. Coronation Street. Emmerdale. El Dorado. And any other mind numbingly depressing dross which serves to convinve old people that the characters are somehow REAL. They’re ACTORS ffs. They only took the job cos it means they don’t have to spend the next six months working in Argos whilst their “agent” (mum/dad) tries to get them onto a toothpaste commercial dressed as a white sperm-lookalike.
4: Anything which encourages the audience to ‘let us know what you think via the red button’. People are morons. Don’t give them a voice, they’ll only go and use it. Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.
5: One Tree Hill. The OC. Dawson’s Creek. And innumerable other whingey posh-yank-teen-angst dramas. “Oo eck, what am I gunna doo? Me porsche is buggered and that skinny lass next door has stopped promising to shag me. Guess its back to the penthouse for some cheap sex with a supermodel”. WE’RE JEALOUS, ALRIGHT. We know our lives stink and we don’t have porsches and supermodels dripping out of our pores, and our feet smell and bum itches and if that bastard down at the shop short changes me again I swear I’m going to kill him and post his body back to Co-op head office in tiny jiffy bags. We don’t need it ramming down our throats.
Stephen!
*Slinks back under rock*
February 27, 2009 at 1:50 pm
I think that’s the closest anyone on wwm has to a catchphrase. Well, apart from Napoleon’s ‘I hope your innards fall out of your arse.’
February 27, 2009 at 1:51 pm
Swineshead – I did. It shit me up good and proper.
February 27, 2009 at 1:51 pm

Adam and Joe – best thing in the world at the moment, by the way. 🙂

I’d have that engraved on my headstone, Ugeine. There’d be a ghostly chuckle everytime someone was brought up short by it.
February 27, 2009 at 2:01 pm
Did you notice that I used the old A&J music bed for the WWM jingle on me cast of pod?
Stop me if I get too technical

“… apart from airbrushed porn stars NOBODY looks good naked. We all look like we’ve just been poured into our skin from a cement mixer.”
You’ve clearly never met some of the girls I have. I’d give my left arse cheek for another glimpse of how good they looked naked.
February 27, 2009 at 2:04 pm
You could get the picture from the top engraved in it below, Napoleon. Make sure the tombstone is about 12 foot tall as well, so it overshadows all the others.
February 27, 2009 at 2:06 pm
Nick T – yes I did. It gave me a warm feeling inside.
Fourstar – it’s never too late for a ‘just coming’ 🙂
February 27, 2009 at 2:11 pm
Besides – they don’t airbrush porn stars in the material I’ve seen. There’re more often that not vague traces of herpes on the miserable performers, aren’t there?
February 27, 2009 at 2:11 pm
Ugeine – I’m already way ahead of you there. The money I’ve made on death and destruction is earmarked for a tomb of such overbearing vulgarity and outlandish scale, I have every confidence it’ll end up on Ordnance Survey maps marked as a small hill.
February 27, 2009 at 2:12 pm
I may re do it at the weekend as I thinks it’s a little distorted.
Just got paid cash for a job. I like cash it smells nice and dirty.
February 27, 2009 at 2:13 pm
Swineshead – It’s surprising how many of them have spotty arses. They never used to have spotty arses in the magazines you found on your travels round the countryside and along railway tracks. Nature’s bounty – them were the days, etc.
February 27, 2009 at 2:16 pm
Napoleon: I’m sure Dave would love to do the groundskeeping for you at no extra cost. It’d keep him off the streets as well.
February 27, 2009 at 2:22 pm
Ugeine – I wouldn’t have that pitiful creature tending my grave. People would mistake him for some sort of ghoul with his bright white skin and tiny little eyes. And he’d do nothing but wank up the side of my tomb the moment it got dark. Fuck that. I want a phalanx of hot chicks tending to my grave. Hot chicks with big tits dressed like Barbarella.
February 27, 2009 at 2:31 pm
Just passing through, but here’s the first 5 telly things that popped into me head;
1) Anything with Vernon Kay or his halfwit wife in it
2) Anything with Eamonn Holmes in it
3) Anything with James Corden & Matthew Horne in it, including the one that hasn’t started yet
4) Anything with Jonathan Ross in it
5) Anything with Jon Snow in it
I’d happily evacuate my bowels over any of them, apart from Corden, who probably likes that sort of thing.
February 27, 2009 at 2:35 pm
I saw an advert for that Horden and Corne programme last night. The fat one’s fat wobbling stomach put me off my dinner.
February 27, 2009 at 2:38 pm
Dirty Sanchez.
Chris Moyles.
TFM.
Nick Grimshaw.
Dave.
T4 Presenters.
GMTV.
Saturday Night Takeaway.
Celebrities Dancing/Skating/Singing/Not doing their day job.
Endless repeats of Friends on E4 (“The Friends Channel”)
The blank ‘Russia Today’ channel that’s just appeared on my freeview box.
Cheryl Cole.
Simon Cowell related programmery.
Comedies featuring Stephen Mangan.
Sheridan Smith.
February 27, 2009 at 2:41 pm
I quite like Stephen Mangan (though green Wing is rubbish)
February 27, 2009 at 2:44 pm
I was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, but then he blew it with those horrendous Barclaycard adverts…
February 27, 2009 at 2:47 pm
‘And he’d do nothing but wank up the side of my tomb the moment it got dark.’
It’s called ectoplasm and I’d only do it because I cared.
February 27, 2009 at 2:56 pm
Oh, and the bizarre sexual tension that’s forming between presenters Charlie Stayt and Susanna (with ‘getting up’ for) Reid on BBC breakfast show Breakfast can go RIGHT into Room 101. Either they get it out of their system or one of them leave.
February 27, 2009 at 2:57 pm
Which one’s Suzannah? The cracking little blonde one, or the one with black hair?
February 27, 2009 at 2:58 pm
The one with black hair.
February 27, 2009 at 3:04 pm
I like the little blonde one. I wouldn’t mind pulling down ‘er knickers and sticking my …

February 27, 2009 at 3:22 pm
My top 5 worst telly related crimes:
1) Pie in the Sky and big fat Pie in the Sky man Richard Griffiths. Ugh!
2) Green Green Grass (I know someone already said this)
3) Songs of Praise and Aled bloody Jones (equals last dregs of weekend and signifies time to iron shirts and make packed lunches)
4) Josie Lawrence (this may be the death knell for ‘Stenders as far as i’m concerned)
5) Anything sci-fi
P.S. In bog trotter debate, how come Indy is allowed to be Anne Robinson and slag off the Welsh? I’s Welsh, so unless it was a joke stick ‘im on the list!
P.P.S. Lead balloon IS funny (if you ignore au pair) – I liked the one where they had the landrover with the broken window and they were holding their breaths at the crossing and the fat family saw them (not very well explained).

The majority of BBC 3 – A channel that passed up on Adam Buxton’s show and went with more Corden /Horne SHITE.
The Cobra Beer Dave idents. CUNTSCUNTSCUNTS.
E4’s self conciously yoof presentation.
Janet Street Porter.
That fucking show where crap halfwit walking cocks with haircuts and guitars and so sense of music whatsoever are judged by dead eyed failures of humanity. Something like ‘Unsigned’ or some bollocks.

February 27, 2009 at 3:53 pm
Hello, i go away to the dentist (again) for a couple of hours and when i get back you lot are all doing some weird in joke for a bit. Luckily, the sensible people turned up, and made it about telly again.
What is this Just Coming nonsense?
Oh, and i forgot BBLB/ears/nose/willy or whatever. It is bad enough that we have this on for longer and longer periods of time each year (well, you lot do anyway, they canceled the Dutch one ages ago) but i think making up tenuous related shows/ radio etc is a step too far. They will be coming up with a partwork or similar for it soon.
February 27, 2009 at 3:54 pm
Nappers – are you a vampire?
February 27, 2009 at 4:00 pm
Anything ANYTHING remotely related to that BASTARD George Lamb.
February 27, 2009 at 4:02 pm
Oh, and that fat headed bastard Adrian Chiles. I have to set several alarms to make sure the telly isn’t on BBC1 at seven of an evening, as I spontaneously vomit every time I see him. The fatheaded racialist.
Mebbe I should join the studio audience and see if I can spray him with vomit live on the telly.
February 27, 2009 at 4:11 pm
GSMIpod – what did Jon Snow ever do to you?
February 27, 2009 at 4:13 pm

February 27, 2009 at 4:16 pm
Your choices were noble Clarry, especially that one with the crapulent Greener Grass or whatever it is called.
February 27, 2009 at 4:17 pm
Jon Snow is an opinionated bastard who seems to have forgotten that the main thrust of news reporting should be, um, reporting the news.
Instead he foists his lily-livered, left of centre, namby pamby liberal opinions anyone foolish enough to tune in. If it was called “Channel 4 Opinion”, I wouldn’t care.
Oh, and his ties are a crime against humanity. I’m thinking about organising a hit team of commandos to seize and wheech him off to the Hague for trial.
February 27, 2009 at 4:18 pm
I’m watching last nights Master Chef. I accidentaly saw who won, some internet page.

Sci-Fi is mostly contemptable drivel, but you do get occasional gems like Battlestar Galactica.
February 27, 2009 at 4:20 pm
He is far better than Paxo or Humphrys. I’ll give you the ties, but that just makes me think of him like a well informed uncle.
February 27, 2009 at 4:20 pm
Being a lesser spotted shit doesn’t make you any less of a shit. Ask fatheaded racialist Adrian Chiles.

Good call on the Cobra Beer adverts, Vones. I want to chase down those tediously unwitty bastards with a kitchen knife.

Why is Adrian Chiles supposedly racist, godshatetc…?
Or are you being hilariously funny?

My brother suggested I would possibly like this blog. He was entirely right. This post truly made my day. You can not consider just how a lot time I had spent for this info! Thank you!
July 3, 2013 at 2:30 pm
Does your website have a contact page? I’m having problems locating it but, I’d like to
send you an email. I’ve got some ideas for your blog you might be interested in hearing. Either way, great site and I look forward to seeing it expand over time.
July 3, 2013 at 2:39 pm
Excellent way of explaining, and fastidious article to obtain information concerning my presentation focus, which i am going to deliver in
school.
July 3, 2013 at 2:40 pm
Excellent goods from you, man. I have understand your stuff previous to and you are just too wonderful.
I actually like what you have acquired here, certainly like what you are saying and the
way in which you say it. You make it entertaining
and you still take care of to keep it smart. I
can not wait to read much more from you. This is actually a tremendous site.
