I adore total wipeout and so do the kids - best comedy ever watching them since its a knockout when we were kids! I think I might be a secret sadist as I love watching them fall, bounce, flip etc! Sadly so do my kids!! Highlight of the week that!!

Just had to share this, even though its annoying. Received an email, from an old email address of son's;

Dear friend:
What are u doing these days?I am going to recommend a Eshop to you.Yesterday Hello!How are you recently?
I would like to introduce a good company who trades mainly in electornic products.Now the company is under sales promotion,all the products are sold nearly at its cost.They provide the best service to customers,they provide you with original products of good quality,and what is more,the price is a surprising happiness to you!It is realy a good chance for shopping.just grasp the opportunity,Now or never!

His English isn't the best, but it's not that bad:rotfl:now he has to report to Hotmail that his address has been hijacked, and half his friends have reported it as spam.

My son watches it if its on, and I find it a bit car crash, can't help watching, but wouldn't set out to watch it.

Love the email - what a pain to sort out! A friend of mine had her hotmail address hijacked, and it stopped when she simply changed her password.

Total Wipeout - sorry for starting this! I used to avoid programmes like that like the plague, but that Christmas got me into it - I finally understood that these people, whether delusional or not, have set themselves up, knowing full well what the programme is like, and the sort of thing that Richard and Amanda will say. So I laugh at them

In my other incarnation, I'm going to some eco house demonstrations today

I know what you mean about Total Wipeout KC. My bug-bear has always been American Chevy Chase type silly "comedies", I never found them funny at all, until I once saw Meet The Parents on a plane. My friend had to keep telling me to be quiet as I was snorting like a pig I was laughing that hard!

My kid's love TW though, and it does remind me of It's a Knockout too - Stuart Hall laughing still makes me smile

It *is* a modern Its a Knockout, isn't it! Stuart Hall was brilliant, he made that programme

Was trying to resist coming on here, but the footie is just too awful. It's half time and I don't know if I can stand watching the second half.

Managed to do quite well on the spending yesterday, but then it all went a bit **** up. DS came home from work fed up and stressed, so we ended up phoning for a pizza.

There's something about certain types of film or telly programme that you either love or hate. I used to love Knock out, but now don't like slapstick of any sort. But I think that's the introvert in me,I feel embarassed for the people involved. I know what you mean though KC , they know what they are letting themselves in for. I used to work in pubs a lot, and absolutely hated it if there was a strip o gram or anything like that as I couldn't stand to see people looking embarrassed.

Oh well second half has started, will suffer through it I suppose.

Problem is, he doesn't use the account any more as he got so much spam, and can't remember the password.

Will pop over and see how the eco house went.

Steven Gerrard is my hero. Sorry to any Man U fans reading, but he gives us hope.



EDIT - s*d them they've just scored again.
