Cottelsoe Beach and GMTV
 

My family want me to go to where GMTV are filming for Christmas. I reckon there will be no chance to get on TV as so many people make it their own mission.

Although my mate got on there 2 years ago and her Mum saw her:wub:

Has anyone ever been to the beach and got on TV for the GMTV christmas filming and how did it make you feel? My friend said she felt ever so sad after her Mum called her to say that she had seen her.:(

I will go - just to see the crowds getting filmed but I cant envisage being lucky enough to get filmed.

It so doesnt feel like christmas to me at the moment, the shops make far more of an effort here than they ever did where I lived in the UK, it just feels rather odd.

Mr PP is working xmas day we think so I am going to go to South Beach I reckon.

But I would like to know if anyone has done the Cottesloe thing at Christmas.

Oh yes, Polar Xpress with Tom Hanks is on Channel 9 at the moment, I love the Christmas movies:thumbsup:

We went to the beach at Glenelg here is SA last year. It was packed! I'm not kidding Sam it was pretty awful, lots of people pushing and shoving to get to the front just to wave to the camera :blink: To be honest I was pretty disgusted at the behaviour of the so called adults - my 8 year old daughter got pushed and shoved quite a lot, and my 4 year old niece was stood on by one delighful lady :mad: who didn't even have the deceny to say sorry to her.

After saying that my son managed to get on TV (just!) and was even on the small clip they put on the GMTV website. I am glad I went as it's something I wanted to do, but I won't do it again. :)

The weather was crap too, it rained most of the day :D

Its bloody bedlam down there!!!

Re: Cottelsoe Beach and GMTV
 

Didnt someone complain of a Welsh family that stood on and really hurt their kids - pushing and shoving to get on camera - I think it was last year.

Oh dear, I shall tell Dad not to expect anything.:o

Re: Cottelsoe Beach and GMTV
 

I think there was something posted along those lines, I may just go and have a look for it :D

To be honest Sam, I think a 'home made' video would be better :) at least your Dad gets to see just you then and what a lovely gift that would be - maybe you could film something and youtube it? or even just post it across to him

I know you are right Wendy, they have all convinced themselves I will be able to do it.

Short of flashing my tits on the beach there is no chance, I might go down and observe from a distance - for the experience.

I always got quite tearful watching the Christmas live feeds, never ever did I realise I would be one of those people wanting to give my family a 2 second glimpse of myself.:o

Re: Cottelsoe Beach and GMTV
 

Seriously Sam, there is so much pushing and shoving..it can get quite nasty....shame really!

Re: Cottelsoe Beach and GMTV
 

I do remember seeing on TV a Welsh flag that was so big it took up alot of space, I remember thinking that several people could have stood in its place to wave to their loved ones, instead the flag took up the space and the family behind it - perhaps that was the family that did the shoving, I dont know but I remember a post telling everyone about it - fancy adults pushing little kids like that.

I shall watch from afar, just to say Ive been there.:o

Re: Cottelsoe Beach and GMTV
 

I went the first christmas I was here and some scottish woman pushed my little one over who was only 3 at the time. I haven't been since.

Re: Cottelsoe Beach and GMTV
 

Are you serious?

God I bet you were mad:mad:

What did you say?

Re: Cottelsoe Beach and GMTV
 

It's worth it for the experience Sam, it might be a huge waste of time - but you won't know if you don't go :)

Hey Sam, you are as daft as me..............I used to spend all xmas afternoon..watchung teh Noel Edmunds christmas special...with all the fake snow....crying me bleeding eyes out!! Daft Cow!!

Re: Cottelsoe Beach and GMTV
 

I know, I am feeling ever so sad about Christmas. I dont know why because Mr PP and I always spend it on our own anyway so it shouldnt be any different.

I guess I dont want Mr PP to work, I might hook up with a work pal to go to the beach. We dont even have a BBQ yet - buying a house is so expensive and I said to Mr PP that we have more urgent things to pay for such as our termite treatment is now due (high risk area) and a couple of other things.

Then I look at the garden which is in such a bad need of a garden makeover it isnt true and you wonder how/when it will get sorted.

I cant put decorations up as Gordon will eat them and no doubt Rocky the Super Kelpie will help him:eek:

Mr PP said we are going to fill the fridge with goodies and I shall go to South Beach for a swim - I cant wait for that - Perths beaches really are something special and it will be nice and hot.

Its just strange Wendy, I cant describe why but it is, probably to do with my Mum and everything. I shall build my own tradition but I guess I am just floundering a bit.:o

Noel Edmunds Christmas Presents! I remember that and boy have I sobbed over that!:lol:

Lately I have been dreaming that someone somewhere flies my Dad/family out to surprise me and they turn up at my office.

Well a girl can dream....:lol:

I would have punched her in the mouth!!:eek:
