Giles would appear to spend all his time in his vegetable patch!

That's just upper-middle sex slang in their part of the Shires

Flick knives. Fireworks that J. Robert Oppenheimer would want banned. A pension bathtub of cheap red wine vomit. An arrest in a Pigalle sex shop.

Ah. Heady, heady days.

I didn’t realise you’d worked in education too.

Abbie and Georgia's analysis of the aurora borealis this week was a joy.

If Channel 4 have any sense they'll get them to do some of their General Election coverage.

One of the Siddiqui boys asked if you could massage yourself, to which their dad said, "It's not called 'massaging'."

Abbie to Georgia

“I don’t think I even know any pianos”.

 

[stavros]

Chris Packham's thoughts on MILF Manor are priceless.

Bless Shaun and Bez:

"Is that his real name, Jacob Rees-Knob?"

 

[breadandcircuse]

Is anyone else getting fed up of seeing the same episodes repeated? There are always episodes on to dip into, but they are always the same ones. Why don't they go back to some of the earlier ones?

 

[Numbers]

2 episodes into the new series, quite enjoying it.

 

[Voley]

It's a joy, Gogglebox.

I genuinely miss it when it's not on.

Loved Danielle and Daniella talking about the dog’s jacket with R & R on it.

D1 - Rest and Relaxation?
D2 - Rough and Ready!

They're a good addition. The West Country lesbians aren't bad either, and the young Scottish couple can have their moments.

I think if anything Giles and Mary are disliking one another more and more every year.

I liked how Abby and Georgia thought that south Wales, with the fly infestation, was close to them in County Durham.

 

[danny la rouge]

“He’s thinking ‘that shoulder could do with a dick on it’”.

 

[Voley]

Georgia:

"That's what art is: all tits and dicks".

They should have that above the door of The Tate.

 

[stavros]

Abbie:

"Maybe they're [Only Connect contestants] not that clever, and we're just thick."

 

[stavros]

Abbie and Georgia watching Brian Cox, and comparing the size of the known universe to the length of the Great North Run is fantastic.

The ladies aren't West Country, they are West Midlands, Solihull I think, not too far from my neck of the woods. They definitely have a Brummie accent.

Oh OK, I thought I heard Cash say Swindon, or somewhere like that.

Easily done with Craig's accent. I have resorted to putting subtitles on most programmes these days. I had to keep rewinding that ad with Sue Johnston and Ricky Tomlinson, as I could not get their final word when they were laughing. It turns out it was the Conservative club I think, which had them laughing loudly .

 

[stavros]

Given that she was sat next to Miriam Margolyes, I wasn't expecting Lesley Joseph to be the one to shout "Cunt!" when playing Only Connect.

 

[stavros]

Again Abbie and Georgia steal the show, with their musings on narcissism.

 

[Voley]

Mary made me laugh this week when James May was trying to cook his dinner in a washing machine.

"This is why men need to work. If they don't work, they do stupid things like this."

 

[stavros]

I liked how Mary appeared to be familiar with the film Deep Throat.

 

[stavros]

Catching up on last week's episode revealed this exchange, all said completely straight-faced and apparently oblivious to its silliness:

Giles: "He [Richard Coles] was a member of a pop group, called..."
Mary: "Girls Aloud."
Giles: "Girls Aloud, that's it."

"Subservience"? Is that when your house starts to sink?

(or words to that effect)

That was Jenny, wasn't it? She can come out with some corkers, almost (not quite) rivalling Abbie and Georgia.

 

[stavros]

"Is she like Lady Gaga, Nutty?"
"No, Lady Gaga is more... hardcore."

The Christmas special is worth watching, if only for Abby and Georgia's thoughts on Fanny Craddock.

Abby thinking Anne Frank and fanny craddock were friends you mean ? Or Florence nightingale
