I Don't Get...

[SeanMacGabhann]

The Word Game thread

or The Song one either

[mockney piers]

I'm all for word games, particularly cryptic crosswords, but I'm with you on those Mr MacG

...Big Brother AT ALL, Mockers.

Whenever I have watched an episode it was just mind-numbingly dull 'discussions' involving people not listening to each other. The only interesting stuff comes from the conflict, and then you get the uncomfortable feeling of colluding in the psychological manipulation of clearly unstable fame nuts. Bleugh.

..."celebrities", as featured in Heat Magazine and similar toilet paper. What are they for?

[Guest]

I like the Word Association and Song Game threads - very restful and no arguments, which makes a pleasant change after work.

I don't get why people buy glossy magazines. Aspirational = very quickly unhappy with what you've got.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Apparently Jo Good (if I've understood her ramblings correctly) is filming for "The Bill" in Peckham today.

I don't get what it is about hot weather that makes office workers entirely abandon any sense of how to dress.

Men - ignore the change in temperature and remain in winter suits, double-cuffed shirts, etc. Result = sweaty and red-faced.

Women - dive into spaghetti-strap tops and cotton skirts. Er - you're not actually on holiday, which presumably is why you haven't had time to prep your legs for the exposure they're currently undergoing...

You wouldn't see this in Italy or Australia, where they understand the concept of wearing clothes appropriate to hot weather that don't reveal bits of skin that really should be kept for the beach. Tch.

The Foo Fighters. Dave Grohl is the Michael Palin of loud pop and everything, as nice a fellow as you could wish to meet of a May morning, but the music, awful.

[SeanMacGabhann]

HonaloochieB - I may turn for you!

I've long held that opinion - I almost try to hard to like them. But the songs...just aren't there.

[HonaloochieB]

Yes SM I wanted to like 'em but their music defeats me.

As for the 'turning' I 'm flattered of course but honestly you're alright thanks.

[HonaloochieB]

Green pesto. It's as though it's trying to have fight with your mouth. I didn't agree with too much George Costanza had to say but he got it right there.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Sun-dried tomatoes, aka, sweaty socks.

[Guest]

Cheese. Why would you put something in your mouth that smells that bad?

[ChavWivaLawDegree]

enough sleep

[citizenED]

...drunk.

Couldn't agree more with BB, but I love The Apprentice. I know I know, it's just x-factor / fame academy / jungle thing with a business twist, but I think it's just so funny, whereas none of the others are!

X-Factor makes people laugh because they laugh at poor disillusioned people who have been told by cruel friends that they have musical talent. I think that's just mean.

Apprentice is full of people that will tell you again and again how good they are, and it is great fun watching them fail!!!

That said, I did say to Mrs Mockney last year that I could see her ripping through the opposition and winning it! >:D<

[mockney piers]

mrs mockney loves the Apprentice, if she went on it I might die of shame

[Keef]

Heh heh heh *makes plans to convince Mrs Mockney to go for it* >:D<

(not that I want you to actually die of course, but it would be bloody funny!)

[SeanMacGabhann]

I suggest you both make a start by not calling her that - last time I did that I barely survived...

[HonaloochieB]

Were you fired?

[annaj]

Quite right too.

It's outrageously insulting to call her Mrs Mockney.

She should, of course, be referred to as either The Future Mrs Mockney Piers or Mr Mockney Pier's intended, betrothed or fiancee.

Mrs Bignumber5 ;-)

Mocking Bird... Mockney Bird???? :-S

[HonaloochieB]

Tequila Mocking Bird?

[atila the gooner]

I don't get - Why people actually believe "Britains got talent" a misnomer if ever there was one judging by the buffoons and retards that regularly appear on this show.

[Bellenden Belle]

I don't get... people who say they would be bored if they didn't work.

Really? In London? If money wasn't an issue?

Crazy.
