Haven't seen "Take Me Out" but I'd say Jeremy Kyle is pretty dire.

I have just seen "take me out" on ITV.

Corny and cringeworthy rubbish, but is it the worst on the box?
I can't watch it or the video links on the ITV site, but it sounds a bit like 'mujeres y hombres y vice versa' on T5

or what was that one Carlos Baute did on cuatro? Eligeme?

that was pretty dire too

Sniping at rugbymatt seems to be the in thing at the moment.

Anyway, to brit TV. The worst thing I've had the misfortune to see on visits home was a god-awful series called BoneKickers. Rotten scripts, rotten acting and plot totally lacking in any kind of credibility (but not done in a good fantastical way either). Utter sh¡te. Funded by the liicence payer too.

Archeologists from a University, Bath or bristol I think. They found Buddica/Boadicea in one episode. There was another one about some extremely important Nazi find but the details escape me.

That maybe true but, there is another way to look at it, as he is on here so often and posts such a lot, it could be that he is not sniped at anymore than anyone else on average,

Just like it is with a soldier, if you stick your head out of the trenches too often you have more chance of ending up with a third eye, wheras the others pop up less often and get shot at less often, pure mathematics to me....

I used to love Time Team - archaeology always fascinated me

sounds like a missed opportunity on the BBC's part

dd1 originally wanted to be an archaeologist - now she wants to be a forensic scientist

Just let it lie FFS! Only a woman could carry on this kind of vendetta for so long, and thats my point, whereas most on here have had cross words over the years most of it is water under the bridge, but oh no, not the likes of you.......


Oh and what does my post count matter to you? I could pay a subscription and hide it but I don't, I could do what many on here do and close my account and start again just to hide it, but no.... I know its going to be a strange concept to you but a forum needs posters, without them its not much of a forum.


Now no doubt you will want the last word on this subject and if its THAT important to you then fill your boots, you have it, but just remember, I have always been like this on here, and people read my posts knowing what I am like, when people read yours and a couple of other posters and see you constantly follow me round sniping what do you think they see? How do you think they judge the situation?

Just asking like............
