So - nobody admitting to watching Britain's Got Talent?

[Santino]

Yep I'm a proper cunt.

edit- am I unpleasant becasue I used the word retarded, or because I likened it to people who use very simular slurs, and then get on their high horses when it happens in a different thread?

Who, exactly, has used the word 'retarded' and then got upset about someone else using it? I mean, I assume you double-checked your facts first rather than using the first excuse you could think of for being a twat.

well, I (if you read my other post) wasn't refering the the wrod retarded as such, but to other slurs commonly used on here against anyone who holds a viewpoint which differers from the norm. Those slurs are indicating that someone has mental health problems. And are used as an insult.

See the simularities yet?

It was me who brought it up. I did so because I have a long established habit of being involved in disability activism. I'd check your facts before casting aspersions of hypocrisy in that regard in my direction.

people who watch shite TV, have brains that aren't working properly. (Caused by watching years of mindless drivel on the telly)

I ain't wriggling anywhere. I stand by what I say.

My brain is in fine fettle, ta very much.
You probably watch something on telly that someone else thinks is shite. So does that mean your brain isn't working properly? Or are you the sole arbiter of whose brain is in working order?

me, watch stuff that people would find shite?? Neeeever (aslong as it's got flashing pictures, a psy trance backing track and can be found on youtube, I'll all over it )

You needn't even bother to defend yourself. Xes believes in fairies.

So, you run around on conspiracy related threads getting all het-up about people using derogative mental health terms?

nope, didn't think you did.

 

[bmd]

So anyway, a young Billy Ray Cyrus, a dancing dog and a comedy dance troupe.

What else was on? I only saw Billy Ray.

Indeed.

Furthermore, I (as an example with which I'm fairly familiar) have on these boards been accused of elitist tastes in films, books, music, etc. And on other occasions of having trash taste. The point is I have both. I like German opera and soap opera (well, Corrie). So what?

 

[butchersapron]

Some miserable old girls with tambourines.

If people use derogatory mental health terms I do pull them up.

Timbrels!!!

I think I've decided I'll use that word as an expletive in future.
Missed the train? TIMBRELS.

A Public stoning is what...

 

[danny la rouge]

tambourines

Highwaister was right that they were shit, but wrong to choose that as his battle ground. He was incorrect.

 

[danny la rouge]

Well, I didn't expect the Spanish Inquisition...

 

[jusali]

I watched it, liked it and have a reasonable handle on my mental faculties

I was impressed by the good looking robot dance dude I think he will go far if he can pull out more for his repertoire.....

See, that's the thing, intit? I like the dancing dog, too, but where does the act go from there? Both acts.

In essence they're the same.

I preferred the dog. It was a rescue dog.

 

[butchersapron]

aahh

(i think she made that up)

 

[danny la rouge]

Nooo!

Grinch.

In truth it's light entertainment and an emphasis on the word light is necessary, I’m not a major fan of Cowel or Morgan but Amanda Holden is a nice looking lass and for a posh bird she's quite nice.

In truth it's great that it exists because people that have no hope in their real lives get given a chance to shine and live the dream so all good from where I am.

There is too much bitterness on here at times I say chill out it's only a bit of fun or would you prefer to watch people suffer and die live on stage in Pergatory at the Palladium veriety death show.

 

[geminisnake]

I can honestly say the only bit of this I've ever seen was the youtube bit of that scottish woman singing. Amazing voice she's got and watching the faces of the judges was funny.

I don't really watch tv. Euronews, NCIS and MotoGP is about it.

 

[paulhackett]

Apparently Stevie Starr the human regurgitator is on tomorrow.. Swallowing billiard balls, balloon popping, goldfish.. Does anyone else remember him from the Last Resort and other programmes back in the 80s and other programmes?

(Letterman appearance)

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

Oh.

My.

God.




That gymnastic group was utterly incredible

Wow. Just, wow.

 

[butchersapron]

For amateurs that was choreographed and performed brilliantly.
