Hate to say this too Cleaver, but I think you're right. I hope they are happy in their new home though. Meanwhile the other woman did move to within 100 miles of me, somewhat closer in fact. I'm still hoping our paths have no reason to cross.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'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.

The woman on this week's show has just said:
"We really want somewhere where people will come and be impressed with our house."
It's strange how just one line, uttered casually from a woman, could inform me imediately that we would never be compatible in any way, shape or form. Vacuous thing. Get a boob job, Playstation 3 and a fake degree certificate if you want to impress people.
When Mrs C and I were house shopping we saw a place with a range cooker. She looked at me, all wide-eyed and excitable and whispered, "you could cook yourself four pizzas at the same time in that". Which is my type of woman.0 -

In the first few years as a singleton, I reduced everyone to one-liners. Cleaver, you would have had a wonderful time on my dates. One bloke, and I kid you not, explained to me as I dug into the Steak Diane (I was grateful just to eat) how he took his "meat probe" everywhere. He managed a food factory.
He didn't trust restaurants so he tested the temperature of everything he ate.
He got awful cross when I disappeared under the table with the napkin stuffed into my mouthRetail is the only therapy that works0 -
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.
a) buying cheap new build flats doesn't make for an interesting show.
b) many wealthy people are.
c) many posh people are.
d) everyone likes horses, animals help maintain viewing figures. A bit like the monkey in friends, the one they axed for being too popular.Favourite hobbies: Watersports. Relaxing in Coffee Shop. Investing in stocks.
Personality type: Compassionate Male Armadillo. Sockies: None.0 -
I suspect it's far more likely that our forum owner, like most men, think this is a totally un-necessary part of a womans anatomy.

I have never thought to do a naughty word test on here.
S!!!!horpe always gets bleeped out.
So, who is going to do the live commentary/precis da de da for us folks with no telly reception and no Sky? Like, we have a telly but it doesn't function as a telly as such.
It does help when deciding how to waste late night time on iplayer/catchup etc.
PS; let's try........muff, bosom, foreskin0 -
I see where you're coming from Cleaver, and sometimes LLL drives me nuts, as I sit and marvel at the pickiness of some people and wished I had even a fraction of the budgets people seem to have.
But I agree with Bluey - I wouldn't want to watch people looking for a 1-bed flat that much. I like seeing lovely houses, even if I am envious most of the time!
And it's more amusing when there is a particularly obnoxious person (often women it seems). Tonight it's Tina who is truly awful, in my opinion.0 -

Do you have a problem with this????
Kidding
I have to admit to not having watched the show for years - mainly for the reasons you outlined and I deleted.
For me it's one of those shows that has reached the end of it's shelf life.0 -
And now there's a woman going round on Tina's behalf to divine the energy in a house. Great stuff :-)0
