    Bedroom with two burdz; guilty!

    "strange" -- guilty!

    "pick-up truck" -- unlikely!

    "water and Coca-Cola" -- :emoticon-0140-rofl::emoticon-0140-rofl::emoticon-0140-rofl:

    I would add that Passau is a very beautiful city. My mother and I were intrigued to see that each of the three rivers which converge in the environs of Passau seemed to be of a different hue. I seem to recall that the there is something significant about a church organ however who gives a f**k about such nonsense<cheers><cheers><cheers> when there are Gastatte to experience!:emoticon-0137-clapp:emoticon-0137-clapp

    As I am off to Paris on Saturday and will be visiting the brasseries, galleries and clothes/sweet/gift shops on Ile Saint Louis I will let my co-respondents know about the state of Notre Dame Cathedral which is sited on the neighbouring island. I would add that Ile de la Cite is a tourist infested mess where tasteless souvenir shops and rip-off brasseries abound!

    What a snob I am!:emoticon-0140-rofl:

    Apparently these so called influencers are hiring life coaches to help them navigate social media. There’s a compo claim somewhere down the line in this. Mark my words.

    The Jeremy Kyle show off air then at present chaps..I appreciate that Barney will be in utter dismay over the lack of episodes at present.

    I think it is right to take it off air to investigate matters but I do not agree with calls to ban the show for good. Ridiculous but in the current world we live in I m not surprised. An over reaction not to mention do goody attitude/PC brigade.

    I find the show entertaining and it has the highest viewing figures of any other show on daytime tv. I wonder if ITV will be strong on this or replace it with a ramped up version of 'loose women' or something.?

    The Jeremy Kyle show has in fact been cancelled for good. Not only that but the shows YouTube channel has been taken off air and shows on itv hub and repeats on itv2 will also no longer be available.

    So there we have it no more Jeremy Kyle show. I hope that itv continue to work with him and promote the rather good 'Kyle files programme. The programme will be sorely missed by some...when I watched it I found it rather entertaining although I couldn't watch it every day..:emoticon-0105-wink:.

    I guess this is the way of the world now..I just don't get a growing number of the population these days.. even a government spokesperson was getting involved. I mean what the f**k has it got to do with you do gooder?' Whenever there is a fatality on a racecourse there is a growing call to ban racing where the calls are louder than ever before...and often we see itv tip toeing and bring cringely cautious about the words they use etc.

    Society these days I guess but very very worrying if you ask me.

    Still, making a **** load of money out of other people's misery tends to churn the guts.

    Indeed, Cyc, Kyle is a cruel, nasty piece of work. Hope I never see the likes of him again on TV. I ain't no 'do gooder' either. Kyle can piss off and drink beer with that other buffoon idiot Farage.

    He likes NH racing though Swanny so he's not all bad <cool>. I think he owns part or all of a Black Corton. I've never seen the full show, only the odd clip, but staggered to read in the paper that it regularly gets 1 million viewers (20%+) of the daytime telly viewing population. I wonder if Kyle will do a Murdoch though. Murdoch closed down the NOW after a scandal and then just set up a Sunday edition of the Sun a few weeks later.

    Well, that's something. Just saw bits of his show a couple of times briefly, dreadful stuff IMHO. However, I am sure his devotees can find something equally awful to pass their time?

    I refer the Honourable Forum Member to his response on the politics thread and the offence he took on behalf of others when the saviour's name was taken in vain. That was pretty PC/do goody Pops <laugh><laugh>

    Cruel?? I think you 'll find it's about making a show out of people's lives.. they volunteer to go on there..I find it quite entertaining myself...but each to their own..I like Kyle's straight talking ways like 'go out there..get a job and stop wasting your life away getting girls pregnant and smoking drugs
    Simple and to the point! I like that approach...:emoticon-0105-wink:

    What is the connection with Kyle and Farage just out of interest? Thought that was weird you thinking of Farage when we talking about Kyle's show...one is in show business..one now back in politics..:emoticon-0148-yes:

    I think that was a little different Chan. some take the religious holiday seriously and I was merely pointing that out. Well remembered though...:emoticon-0148-yes:

    I wonder with two previous contestants of Love Island having recently taken their lives...is this show now one for review of the chop? Or do different rules apply? 2 contestants took their lives here not one..

    Will this decision have an impact on reality tv shows I wonder?

    The world and TV in general being the way it is I wouldn't be surprised if they made a reality show about contestants going for counselling to cope with being on a reality show!

    I wouldn’t be surprised if they did a tv show about how people kill themselves after being on a tv show. But then it seems most people are sick these days. Why don’t they just bring back the Roman coliseums, that would be fun, or bear baiting or bull fighting.

    Yes, I am apt to veer around all over the place, most fellow members just shake their heads and carry on. <laugh>
    (Erm, I think I once tipped Farage e/w on the DT thread; my shrink (nice lady) says there is very little that can be done about this condition. :emoticon-0101-sadsm)
