RANDOM THINGS YOU HATE (3 Viewers)

[Zu]

You had BACCARA!

AND BACCARA. Also ABBA of course, but we could only listen to their records on the gramophone when we didn’t have power cuts

 

[Zu]

You are too kind @Zu-Klara. I was just about to say GOOGLE IT YOU LAZY CHILDREN

Well that’s me for you. Very much a giver. I give and give until the pantry is bare

You truly had HIGH HIGHS and LOW LOWS /

I’LL STEP IN

Benny Hill was a British comedian whose TV shows always ended with him making a nuisance of himself

Now THAT makes sense!

@Indie can you ban me from the late night drunk Moopy thread please xx

 

[Soldi]

And thank you @Zu-Klara for going to many lengths to educate moi at this early hour

HUG FOR UNCLE ZU or whatever it is

 

[Zu]

I don’t know what jiva means

Probably only nice and kind things

Here’s @jivafox earlier this evening

That yellow duck is such a survivor. Not even affected by the knife. Inspirational

 

[jivafox]

In all honesty I thought Benny Hill ended the episodes CHASING all the TOTTY.

Trust me to FUCK UP THE REFERENCE.

The lamb wasn’t quite so fortunate

I don't know what totty means, but don't worry @Kate, I'll Google it

and also for the lovely picture OBVIOUSLY

Actually I did too

I’LL STEP IN

Benny Hill was a British comedian whose TV shows always ended with him making a nuisance of himself and being chased in a ludicrously sped up sequence, usually by women



Before you judge, it’s all we had in the seventies apart from power cuts and having to wipe our bottoms with newspaper

It was just one of our most successful exports to the US along with Monty Python and Americans would refer to him as being the height of British comedy LONG after he ceased to actually be relevant here.

 

[Zu]

I don't know what totty means, but don't worry @Kate, I'll Google it

It means the SKIRT which is of course me being deliberately unfathomable and using more slang on purpose

The SKIRT and the TOTTY. Now that I get it I love it

They’re both slightly dated and comedic these days although I expect they’re still used in certain quarters SHALL WE SAY (such as where I come from originally, for example)

SOUTH EAST ESSEX

 

[RJN]

SOUTH EAST ESSEX

All I know of Essex is The Only Way Is Essex, but I'm sure there's more to it than THAT

 

[Zu]

Believe it or not, Brentwood (which is I think where it’s set and Gemma Collins has her lovely boutique) is the POSH part. Comparatively speaking. Or, at least, where the wealth ends up. Which is no marker of class as we all know

 

[RJN]

My (uneducated) view is that Essex to London is like Orange County to LA, so that description WORKS

 

[Zu]

A look at the participants’ behaviour on episodes of UK Come Dine With Me set in Essex should give you a general idea. Filthy sense of humour, drink too much and too quickly, sex obsessed, etc. Don’t recognise any of that in myself obviously

 

[Soldi]

I swear every state in America has an ORANGE COUNTY

*has flashbacks to the fifty day 2020 election*

Doesn't sound too bad!

I was talking about Orange County California, not the imposter Orange County Florida.

And don't worry, the election is still somehow ongoing

Obviously GEMMA is an inspiration to all of us

 

[RJN]

Well I love her coat/jumpsuit/facial expression

So I am pro-Essex

A ICON

 

[Lucille]

My (uneducated) view is that Essex to London is like Orange County to LA, so that description WORKS

I think Essex is more like our NEW JERSEY tbh. There’s wealth there but the culture is very white working class. Historically it’s where people would move to from the Eastend of London when they made it.

 

[Lucille]

There’s definitely money there but only NEW MONEY.

 

[Zu]

I seem to have a memory of @jivafox revealing some awful truths about lovely Gemma and / or actually meeting her but this will do in the meantime

You can just tell that Gemma Collins has a terrible rotten black human core.

 

[Zu]

Or got a council house when they built the new estates

 

[RJN]

Well I don't ever want to live in New Jersey or Orange County, so I guess the only way really is Essex

 

[Lucille]

Yeah a lot of working class moved there also to live in the suburbs/escape East London.

 

[RJN]

@Lucille There's more to New Jersey than you're giving it credit for, but the same is probably true of Essex

Also I am offended because my father was born in New Jersey

Oh I’m sure, but I think they’re similar in that the stereotypical person in both is quite BRASH.

HONESTLY GEMMA!

 

[RJN]

Sounds about right! Everyone I know from New Jersey, and Joey Essex, are brash

I did meet her and she was lovely but I still believe what I said in that quote!

HONESTLY GEMMA!

£12! A tenner I could understand, but did she wait for the kid to count out the COINS as well.

 

[Zu]

And, Essex-wise, COARSE

Oh I love that detail. Why £12? “Coppers’ll do luv.”

Mind you, if a girl needs 20 Superkings
