Other TV programmes you like or loathe

Eek, I'm on (yet another) diet Sax! Don't tempt me!!

Have pre-ordered Amity and Sorrow, will be good to get back into reading again. I just couldn't get into Life of Pi at all, not sure why.

OH is totally into the Game of Thrones books at the moment - he's read 5 of them (huge big things too) and has ordered the other 2. I might just be lazy and watch the DVDs instead!

Its a healthy option!!! Plus you can change the pasta sheets for layer of leeks as in hairy bikers lasagne! I found Life of Pi hard finished it yet review is proving difficult to write!!! My friend suggested watching the film!! Sacre Bleu!!
I have only just watched Game of Thrones as we didn't have Sky Atlantic!! I really enjoyed it!! Not sure re the books yet!!! DvDs sound ok!!!! My Wolf Hall coming to the cottage!!! Im hoping it will be worth the anticipatipn Im coming to end of Lent meat for me on Sunday!!! Then Monday could go Vegan for Orthodox lent until May 5th!!!

Hi all.
Watching Broadchurch on channel 3.
Guessed most of the plot by end of week 2 but it's a cracking cast. One week left to tie up the loose ends. Annoyed last week as someone (Nigel) was threatening to kill a dog but the dog's just turned up in someone's garden. Good job too, otherwise they'd be another murder looming! Can't stand animal cruelty of any kind.

Im getting ready for The Apprentice!! & Dara's post show afterwards!!! Love too pick two candidates at the start & see how they get on!!! Never watched Broadchurch! I guess I missed a great series! Still love the Village & The Voice!! Also hooked on Endeavour!!

Hi Sax
I like the Apprentice too.
Friends of mine went to see the ballet Romeo & Juliet the other week. I bet them a cookie that they both couldn't hear the "March of the Capulets" without mentioning The Apprentice.

Any suggestions?

Welcome back LS, Karen & Nick & Dara!! The minute the poor girl put her hand up "I thought oh no!" Didn't she know the girls wouldn't fight for 1st project leader? I felt she was all gung ho ok! Lets do it! That's great! & didn't really force the team with her decisions!!! Obviously the girls should have called Battersea!!!
The doppeganger double! (previous girl who got to the final despite always being in the boardroom three!!! Didn't realise China Town be a late start opening?Hello!!"
The boys omg the guy with the eyebrows & pink lipstick!!! I thought he might have been a cousin from the one in Duran Duran!!
At the minute I do not have a favourite! Tonight hoping to see more personalities shine!!

Sax

Hi Sax
I didn't realise it was on again tonight until I saw your message.

What a shower. The boys were like extras from I Claudius!
She-who-now-drives (known as the young St i g) loves Tim which is the kiss of death for him as she always goes for the under dog.

Jaz was like a children's entertainer. I half expected her to turn up in a clowns outfit. The young St i g made a valid comment - why are there no ugly women on the programme?
I'm not impressed by the tangofastic, plastic enhanced, hair extensions, false eyelashes, etc. Wouldn't impress anyone in the meetings I go too. Karen manages to look professional and glamorous without bad mouthing the others.

I reckon we could practise making some rhymes or songs about this bunch.

I think the young yeah it does change has reason to like Tim! Thou I agree with you dodgy hair colours,extensions & make up & thats just the boys!! The one girl forgot who came into the boardroom the logistics person just looked a blank stare mannequinn!!! & the house only had six tables & chairs are they seperating the groups in houses
The beer challenge tonight should be good thou I get the feeling a girl will go again!
Jaz on BBC Breakfast today & just as excitable half expected her to have Rod,Jayne & Freddie join her in a song!!!
Dara tonight should be fun

Sax

Poor Tim! I hope the young yeah it does change is holding up well!! The girls all look so emanciated this year & Usomo & Rebecca shoukd be two tribes go to war next week! Plus who in their right mind takes an empty beer bottle to sniff to buyers/testers!!!!. As for mad English man abroad with long camel coat,turtle neck jumper abroad in Belgium what is he on??

Sax

Well what can I say? My girl got it right.
Poor Tim got toppled. Why sell bear in a wine bar in Richmond? None of his team could count. When they ran out of fingers, they could have got their spare nail extensions out. It was interesting how they all stuck up for him (probably thinking he'll not have the guts to bring me into the boardroom). As Ed Bryne said on Dara's show, he should have brought Genghis Khan (Uzma) and Rebecca in and let them fight it out.

I think S'Rallen likes Rebecca, hence the gentle warning re getting involved in cat fights. I'm surprised she crumbled when the 4 of them had a go at her. Never mind, Doc Ireland had her back when gobby Loo was spitting venom back at the house. Can't see gobby Loo going far, or Neil the neck. Doesn't his razor last long enough to do his neck?. As for Mr Eyebrows (who painted those vertical slugs on his forehead?) he's absurd but Welsh and funny so he's excused. Jason of the academia is in a dimension for the deluded. What's with the golden oldie with the 6 pack? Strategically (accidently) half on camera at shower time but hiding in the background in the tasks and boardroom. Don't think he'll be able to hide from S"Rallen for too long.

Im so glad someone else is irritated by the hairy nack!!! Im screaming shave your neck!!! Maybe he thinks its a new trend! I think sloppy gorilla look!! Usama driving me nuts both with her cloggy eyelashes god awful hair colour & animosity!!! Tim bless his cotton socks far too nice & fancy SL putting him in the cage so early!! He should have stayed quiet last week in the boardroom!!!
Love Ed Bryne with Dara! So funny!! Also why at a beer festival sell the most expensive beer??
I agree with you nuts to go to a wine bar! & try & sell beer!!! I think the girls thought if they were nice re Tim in future weeks he might protect them? Doh that back fired! I loved the SA they disrespected you they swore at me etc etc Mr Snob man!!!
Keep slug brows in his funny! & also who is the quiet blonde girl? Please somebody put a bag over the doppleganger girl! I keep thinking its the clever one back!

Sax

Hi Sax
I think S'Rallen decided to put Tim Tigger out of his misery early out of kindness. Tigger's far too nice to play in the shark's pool.

I think the girl who's blonde and in the background is Natalie. She closed Sophie the sops deal with the 3 for £10 "lucky?" cat figures. Another excuse for soppy Sophie to wail 'they don't listen to me".

Can't wait for the flat pack trial next week. Should be fun. I can't remember S'Rallen getting so worked up so early on in the process. He'd better pace himself methinks.

Nick's scowl gets deeper by the minute. He hasn't said a lot yet but with a face like that does he need too?

Saw Ed Byrne about 18 months ago. I like his dry wit. Also saw Dara a few months ago but had to leave early for an evening flight.

True Nick hasn't said a lot yet!! Poor Tim Tigger he was out of his nice depth! My son went to see Dara twice løved each show! Ed has a dry wit I enjoy! The flat pack might tipple S'Rallen into a purple sprouting head rage!! Im looking forward to the cat fight will Usama have a go at Rebecca or Sophie! Will Mr Abs man flex his muscle out of the towel!!!
Eyebrow man I cannot wait to be Team Leader-It will look similar to a Mob puting for the day!!!

Sax

Hi sax
The silver six pack (Alex?) seems to be a bit of a yes man so far. It was 'go for the bitter' when the manufacturing team wanted to use the stout, then when he was selling it, 'well it's usually made with stout...'. A case of 'what sort of a sychophant (sp) do you want me to be?'

Neil the neck will come a cropper when his team loses . He'll wish he had an invisibility cloak when he hears his own words reflected back at him: 'that was Neil's idea, Neil pushed this/that/the other, Neil was in charge of logistics/ sales. He needs to pipe down a bit before he's shot down. Is he Brian Clough's relative?

Keesh? the Asian chap looks ripe for a seizure. He's like a liquidizer on full power.

Wasn't it Natalie that was seen doing a lot of the measuring for the girls team? You don't know how it was edited but she was in most of the shots adding stuff to the beer. She's the one that got away as far as I can see. Did you see the acid drop stare she gave Rebecca when they sat down next to each other in the boardroom. Might have to start calling her Brutus.

Great nickname for Natalie "Brutus" better hope she isn't the team leader on a culinary task! Watch out for those flying knives! Maybe she & Rebecca may re enact a japonese warrior mid air fight scene!!
Keesh "Gasket Man" as you say he looks like his going to blow! This is where the original Scottie in Star Wars voice pops up "He canna take it any more S'Rallen his gonna blow!"

Neil oh hairy neck Neil can some kind barber maybe Sweeney offer him a shave for charity!! He doesn't seem that hairy elsewhere ie chest,hands etc or omg he waxes eveywhere but the neck . Rebecca according to S'Rallen on GN show is a lovely woman & maybe her appearence hair up etc portrays a harsher woman! Maybe S'Rallen has a bit of a soft spot for her & she isn't a blonde to take him to court either!!!
The flat pack I cannot wait to see!!!

Sax

Oh dear me have the girls this year lost sense? A truly epic idea a box on wheels!! Usama the designer of Fashion clearly knows her stuff!! Yes it looked like a plant container or a relic from a display in B&Q! I wished both of the other girls had gone! Instead Doppleganger went for being a chameleon in the background.I think Rebecca is having a helping hand from Karen! S'Rallen likes her too!!

Mr Camel coat pulled it out of the box! Sorry girls!! With a highchair/table!!! So we know now what to buy from Argos for novel Christmas Presents!! Hairy neck went for the half stubble growth on the neck! I think al the boys are bonding well & seem a formidable team! I love the big word of the day is...

Sax

Hi sax
Well the hailstones are bouncing down outside as I speak.

Poor Sophie (they don't listen to me) got the boot. Can't imagine why. I liked her exit line.
"I like to keep my dignity and my class'
Well said that woman. If only someone would listen to her.

I agree with Karen, the girls had no focus. Was it a bird? Was it a plane? more importantly, can I borrow it to plant my fruit tree in?

The one that got away? Gotta be gobby Loo. I'm getting the urge to slap her legs every time I see her. Transparent or what? Looking forward to seeing her try to weadle round S'Rallen when someone finally grows a pair and brings her back into the exit boardroom. Maybe when they mix the teams up?

Well the silver six pack (Miles) was showing his designer thong off round the house. Not keen on him. A bit of a yes man.
Mr eyebrows hit it lucky this week. He got the measurements a bit wrong, but I thought the end product was at least smart, if a bit spartan. Shame S"Rallen didn't do a Ronnie Corbett and read his impression of the teams whilst sitting on the high chair.
Neil the neck must have nicked it shaving, either that or he had laryngitis. What d'yer think? Did they threaten him or bribe him to keep quiet.
What happened to the phd from outer zogg? They must have locked him in the closet for a soundoff with Neil the neck. I was looking forward to listening to more tales of the unexpected.

The star this week for me was Karen and her fiendish board room stunt. How could she? Built the girls up then smashed all hope. Even Dr lipgloss looked beyond resuss.

Down on the farm next week. That should sort the posers out. Can't wait to see how wonky the eyeliner and lip gloss gets when they have to try and find their reflection shining off a silage container. Will Mr eyebrows even have a reflection?

Need to find Ghengis Khan (Uzma) a creative outlet for her outstanding talents. Designer wellies anyone? Loved Dara's Andy-Pandy moment on the results show.

Just watching a bit of the Eurovision semi's. What are they on????

The Eurovison save me!!! I tend to watch just the scoring & listen to Graham's acid comments.We will never win it! Some good songs thou this year' The bare foot lookalike Pocahantos song I like! Bonnie needs mmmm Champagne & let her loose tipsy!

I agree Karen built them up & whupped em down! Pure evil genius!!
The farm bless maybe the box will go with them as an accessory!!!!

Last series of Dancing On Ice! Torvil & Dean are pulling out! Is it the dreaded kiss of death Christine brings to programmes? D & T are semi retiring they will do their own shows still.So will the celeb be big A-C celebs this year?
