    That was sooooo funny!

    Loved the henhouse... flying foxes = PMSL!!!

    Sue is just too funny for words - i'd have eaten that nasty looking green avocado fish mould thingy if it meant her company for dinner :D

    I wonder if my Mum has all her old 70's dinner party style moulds... I also remember she had glass avocado dishes, and hand sized shells to serve starters on :D She was a wicked dinner party hostess and in the morning, I would sneak down and sup up all the wine left in glases :o and any desserts that were left over :rotfl:

    She did those.... in Sue's words "IBS inducing orange slices in grand marnier" :rotfl::rotfl:

    I was laughing all the way thru it... wish it was on daily :D

    Loved it.
    Especially when the Self Sufficiency book by Seymour appeared - I piscked up a copy in a charity shop about a year ago. It's a truly inspirational book. Other half told me to buy another copy should I ever see one, as one copy is likely to get battered through use. (I hope so!)
  • Looking forward to watching this with DH when he's home :T

    We appear to have 2 threads on this subject, so I'll merge them together :)

    I enjoyed it too. Wish they would do another series but with ordinary people taking on a small holding. It would be great to see how they get on

    I'm hoping for a Christmas special of Giles and Sue, oh and Kirstie too as her homemade Christmas programme was fab last year!

    I loved the bit when Sue squirted goats milk straight into her mouth.

    So wrong but so right!
  • I absolutely loved this, watched a couple of episodes twice cause I'd missed some of the jokes! They are really funny together, not much on TV these days can properly double me over with laughter. :)

    I want to watch those other ones they did, 'Giles and Sue eat the ....(70's etc)'
