I am tired of seeing Kevin McCloud documenting rich ***** ever so special home buildings.
When McCloud was in Australia, his management laid down the law to then Melbourne ABC morning broadcaster. Jon Faine was not a broadcaster who avoided asking hard questions, so when Faine asked McCloud about where he lived, McCloud was very pissed orf, and replied that it was not an appropriate question for interview.. McCloud could have joked the question away but chose to go hard back at Faine for asking the question. That was the beginning of my dislike of McCluod. Should describe him as a pompous git? I am not sure, but I am moving on.
Moving on to another wankery tv show about gorgeous Spanish gardens. Sorry Monty Don, but you bore me and while the gardens are lovely, how many lovely gardens do you expect Boomers to admire.
How about a tv show about renovating a two up and two down? Maybe a show about greening England and some environmentalists?
I am in a foul mood after my procedure this morning, being up at 4am. I just need a good night's sleep. I am ignoring official advice to not write or sign anything for twenty four hours.
I hope your mood improves, and the procedure went well.
ReplyDeleteMcLeod is a bore but I think Monty is quite sweet.
I am ok JayCee. Monty drones on.
DeleteI can't bear that smirking Monty Don, or mountebank.
ReplyDeleteI must say, you made me laugh. Best wishes on your mental and physical health, my dear.
ReplyDeleteDarla, I probably do grumpy very naturally.
DeleteI hope all is well and you get some sleep tonight. I've heard of Monty Don, don't know the other one at all but I believe you.
ReplyDeleteDeb, I had not heard of Monty before his tv show began here, not long ago.
DeleteI normally would not pay too much attention to the presenter in the show. They are often lacking talents in anything.
ReplyDeleteRoentare, I wouldn't say they aren't talented, just too smug and self satisfied.
DeleteSo often your keen observations of people make me smile - thanks for more of that today. I hope you get your sleep righted and your procedure went well. I hate losing sleep due to getting up early and also hate "procedures" of any kind. High anxiety!
ReplyDeleteAll is good now Jenny, thanks.
DeleteOh dear, you do have your grumpy pants on. I hope the procedure was routine (did we miss something) and after a decent night's sleep your good humour has returned.
ReplyDeleteMerlot, yes routine. Many people have one.
DeleteI love watching the gardens that Monte covers on his travels, but I find him so pretentious
ReplyDeleteThat's a good word J.
DeleteYou are indeed in a foul mood! Kevin and Monty are nice Englishmen - just like me and Ray. You are not allowed to knock us you young Aussie scallywag! What was the "procedure" anyway? Have you had a butt lift?
ReplyDeleteButt not arse, YP? My procedure is none of your business, but see below.
DeleteI had already noticed that you rarely use colons in your blogposts.
DeleteWas it the procedure that has you in a foul mood or the being up at 4am?
ReplyDeleteDid you have another little skin cancer removed?
I remember watching Grand Designs for a while but got sick of it pretty quickly. I no longer watch gardening shows either, none are relevant to our hot dry hard-packed clay SA soil anyway.
Colonoscopy, River. My third in eight months but now the next in three years time. White diet for two days before, drinking the liquid at 6pm and no further food. Drink more liquid at 4am and be at the hospital by 7.30am.
DeleteSorry to read you are grumpy, you didn't bite anyone's heard off did you!
ReplyDeleteSick of the man, did watch his show for awhile but not anymore.
Same here Margaret. Watched him for a bit, but became bored with his style or presentation.
DeleteUnfamiliar with them, but these don't sound like show I'd like.
ReplyDeleteKirk, a show for the new rich in England, that many will aspire to and never reach.
DeleteI hope you have already signed a cheque and put it in the post to me.
ReplyDeleteI hope I have the spelling of your name correct. Your initials are VD?
DeleteGosh - getting up at that stupid o’clock would put anyone in a bad mood so you’re forgiven.
ReplyDeleteMr McCloud is not one I’d watch…..watching him in early series turned me off him completely. I heard recently he has been turning an old cow shed into a home
Have never seen any of the other man so can’t comment.
Sleep well (and don’t pick the scab or it won’t heal)
Ha, in this case, there isn't a scab, Cathy.
DeleteGoodness, Andrew. Monty Don? He a beloved character. Turn off the telly dear. It is making you bitchy.
ReplyDeleteDebby, I did actually, which is very rare in the evening.
DeleteNever really watched either of the men. Monty is a 'love' figure in the middle classes but he is also a bore. So I am not sticking up for them. It is the dreaded cult of the house and garden so beloved of the British.
ReplyDeleteThelma, it is like that here too, and I don't think North America is immune either.
DeleteI hope you are feeling better soon, rest well.
ReplyDeleteAll good now TP.
DeleteNothing wrong with being grumpy! Wallow in it.
ReplyDeleteI don't bother watching any TV.
Jackie, I don't watch much. I pay attention to the evening news but not much else, beyond the brilliant Media Watch and Planet America.
