The Weakest Link

Nowt to discuss here. If she's on it, I dont watch it.

The twats know what they're letting themselves in for so deserve all they get.

Did anyone see that edition a couple of months back when, was it, Justin Heyward (the Haircut 100 chap) started chatting her up and asking her back to his pad? Classic stuff. Anne Robinson lost for words.

Someone I know appeared on TWL earlier this year but I don't know him well enough to really understand its appeal for him. Maybe it's just the challenge of staying cool under pressure? I have no recollection of watching the episode he was on, which tends to confirm my suspicion that I forgot to watch it...

One I do remember had Page Three models as contestants, some of whom had trouble with very easy questions. I found AR's treatment of them stomach-churningly cruel. I think this is a symptom of what some people call a "sense of humour bypass"

Mmmm. Page 3 model in my bed or Anne Robinson ?

Dear Santa..........

Hi all,

I think the recent Dr. Who episode "Bad Wolf" had a much more enjoyable format than the original.

Best Regards,
Mark Dunn

Incredible, isn't it? Some people work for Microsoft, Coke and tobacco companies all their lives. Others are politicians, in advertising or are estate agents. Some put on airs and graces as they sell furs that have been removed from living animals. Others grow sugar beet and cotton while being paid massive subsidies several times above their market value with the "goods" then dumped on developing countries destroying literally millions of local lifestyles. Others offer obscenely expensive hifi cables. Or approve damaging CD copyright protection software so they can continue to live like princes. Others strip natural forests. The list is really quite endless if you think about it.

yes, good point Nime. You know I get the impression most of us are just looking for something/anything to be angry with?

An apt description! There are worse fates than death and she's one of them. Some day, perhaps a cure can be found; until then, I shall keep the remote handy!

Youth is wasted on the young.

Adam has broken the forum again so I can't add an explanation to my last post now.

Beauty is but skin deep and seems wasted on the young. All seem mere air-heads compared to those with some experience of the world. The irony of youth is that it forces you to choose partners from a very narrow age-group. Unless you look like a supermodel and can hook a billionaire looking for a cheap handbag.

With increasing age one can be a dirty old man (or woman) and oggle all those younger than yourself. That soon becomes an awful lot of people to choose from!

It is only the ephemeral surface layer of a young person that is lost with increasing age. You hardly notice the slow change in a partner over the decades. Provided they don't completely let themselves go. The atractive youthful veneer that drew you to them in their youth is maintained in the eyes, bone structure, a look, the way they hold their head, or a smile.

Be ye not too hasty to criticise those older than yourself who try to maintain their youth. Particularly in the popular media. If you think the clever lady's polished performance is indicative of her behaviour in private life then I doubt she would even have a job.

Look into their eyes! The sparkle of humour, experience and intelligence still resides there when all else fades to grey. (Provided the lights were ever switched on in the first place)

... wonder why the surgeons didn't stick her gob back on the right side of her face while they were at it??

Leave the lady (er..bitch) alone!
