I gotta have a moan.........

[carlton23]

In the Alan Tichmarch show, Kelvin Whatsisname showed his ankle, and Alan said he shouldn`t do that at 5 o`clock, but they show a toilet being cleaned in adverts whilst we`re having our lunch or tea, and I`d rather look at an ankle than look at toilets, or am I just too sensitive? Nuff said, now I`m going to bed, g`night all.

[mxyzptlk]

I think you're missing the context of why it was said.

[ummmm]

Why was it said?

[jackthehat]

Eh ?
Have we now reverted to a world where the glimpse of an ankle is considered shocking ?

Or to a world where cleaning the loo should be done in private or under the cover of darkness ?

[mccfluff]

eh?

[Ankou]

i'm guessing that the average age of the alan titchmarsh fan base were young enough to remember when showing any flesh at all in public was a crime so henous that they were packed off to a nunnery in southern ireland. even a bit of ankle.

i imagine it was firmly tongue in toothless geriatric cheek.

[carlton23]

Don`t misunderstand me, seeing a nicely turned ankle doesn`t offend me, but having toilets bought to my attention whilst eating my dinner does, and I feel ITV should choose more suitable times to show toilets than at meal times.

[ummmm]

Don't get involved in the Frankie Boyle debate if you find toilets offensive...

[Jemisa]

I agree ummmm, That thread was too long for me to join but I certainly think the whole thing was very offensive..
He (F B) or channel 4 should appologise.
(Sorry for the intrusion on your thread carlton)

[carlton23]

Quite alright Jem.

[jackthehat]

Toilets are offensive ?
The sight of one can put you off your tea ?

Will you be sending to ITV a list of dates and times when they can reasonably be expecting you to be eating your tea ?

[Jemisa]

JTH - Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit.

Simple answer is have your food at the table and not in front of the telly ;-)

I know what you mean though, nothing better than an earwax advert when you're tucking into a peanut-butter sandwich.

[Ankou]

or an advert for kerry katonas next chapter when you are just trying to live a normal life and not gouge your own eyes out

I'm very sensitive to the sight of exposed flesh and think the Victorians were spot on to cover piano legs with skirts.

[lankeela]

No to mention nappies, babies dribbling their food or having their bums wiped and that gross one where the kid wants to go poo in someone else's loo! I'd even rather have more furniture ads than ones that make me feel like puking my food up.

[jackthehat]

Jem.
Like I give a fig.

jth

I was addressing my perfectly reasonable question to carlton23.

[NazNomad]

"... and think the Victorians were spot on to cover piano legs with skirts".

Yeah, to prevent damage, nothing more.

[bednobs]

"JTH - Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit"
yep, but stilla lot funnier than american "jokes" copy and pasted from the internet

[Everhelpful]

Anybody else think the first 3 letters of Titchmarch's surname sum him up?
