Would have to be Mary.

Nothing new in that with Russ. :duck:

A bit like deciding would you rather be hung or beheaded.
NEVER MOVE ON. Years on, I cannot ever watch Ireland with anything but indifference, I continue to wish for the imminent death of Donal Spring, the FIRFUC's executioner of Wee Paddy & Wee Stu, and I hate the FIRFUCs with undiminished passion.

Anyone who watches such programs should be either pitied or taken up a dark alley and soundly beaten with a baseball bat.
Strictly Celebreties Up the Jungle On Ice Baking X Factor, is the fed to the masses to dumb them down even more and along with organised religions, help keep them in subjugation.

I see bits and pieces of some of them from time to time, and of them all, the most insidious in my view is the X-factor which is simply a show about 4 utter gobshites playing with the feelings of a plethora of deluded arsewipes. I find it disgraceful shyte, most of the rest are just mentally insulting and most a touch cringeworthy.

It's not the worst TV. I likes me grub, but baking stuff just seems wrong when there's a perfectly serviceable frying pan on the stove.

I only really see it en passant as other family watch it, but there's no harm in it and Mary Berry and GlynnCommando (late of this parish) provide an excellent lesson in diplomacy each week. (Anyone remember diplomacy?)

Have to say I'm a little disappointed that Andrew didn't decorate his cake with a well known Bert and Ernie logo.

Was there a poignant wee moment reported on the news when the winner said, I'm good, I'm good enough.' Sounds like a girl who's been told for years, 'You're no good.'

And if you want truly awful tv, have a look at https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dxxH0DyF5v8

Not interested in cakes but NI got the starter in the GB menu.

A potato dish, naturally. Looked absolutely amazing.

Dunno if the lad was cooking at Midsummer House when I went a while back but it''s a fine restaurant, just up the road from me in Cambridge.

You probably had the oven temperature a bit high.
