I can't be bothered to find the other thread, and Pastures doesn't seem to be around tonight for her normal sterling commentary.
Why is everyone they feature on this show:
a) loaded
b) posh
c) pretty much completely unlikable
d) always a couple with a horsey woman who hates every house and treats their fella like a woodlouse.
This weeks show is a posh army man and posh army wife with posh kids all called names like Beatrice, Charles, Tarquin and Clitoris and the other is a relatively young couple who have outgrown their 1-bed flat and want the next step up the ladder... to a house costing £500,000 (although we all know they'll find one for £640,000 that they love and will still get).
I quite like the idea of this show, but it'd be a lot more interesting if they had some different 'types' of people every now and again.

That`s what wrong with so many things. Broadcasting that kind of utter tripe. It deserves to be sent to the dungeon along with I`m Simple Come Dancing, Big Brother, anything to do with Kirsty women and that dreadful Scottish women that seems to have pleasure gazing at fat peoples stools.0

I quite like the show. I'd just like a bit of variety in the 'contestants'.that dreadful Scottish women that seems to have pleasure gazing at fat peoples stools.
If you're fat you'd be better off with a chair. More support for your back.0 -
It's almost the end of the month and I have money left. My personnal economy is boomingI'm working on the basis that any word not auto-censored by Mr Lewis is a-okay, and this includes scientific terms such as clitoris. I plan to use 'vulva' in a post next week.
Anywho, the economy hey, what's that all about?Retail is the only therapy that works0 -
They did have a nice couple on a couple of weeks ago - the one where the woman of the couple lost her legs following the 7/7 bombing and needed a bungalow. She was amazingly positive and they both seemed lovely, a total change to my normal thinking which is "please don't move within 100 miles of me", still the woman from the other couple made up for it by behaving like a spoilt brat.Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing? Most moles are not cancerous, any doubts, please check next time you visit your GP.

I stand completely corrected, they were really lovely.
However, whilst I don't want to sound like an eternal cynic, do you think that maybe a producer went 'Shall we get someone nice on this week? Maybe a bit of a rewarding story instead of someone posh buying a mansion? Might be good for the ratings?'.
But you're right though, they were a nice couple.0 -
I shall name my first child 'Clitoris' - wonderful, Cleaver!
Thanks for another manic laugh-out-loud that must make my neighbours think I'm bats (I live alone).
