Why did the trophy look like a gumball machine? Surely it should have been a gold-plated croqembouche tower? Also, I don't want to apply to be one of the bakers, I want to apply to be one of the camera crew. That way you get to eat all the leftovers every day. That would be the happiest job on earth.

There must be something wrong with me, I do like his choice of church better. More character to it... Edit: Why did the Narrator just say the last line of the backing track? What did that have to do with anything? ChuckDHead fucked around with this message at 21:16 on Oct 4, 2011 |

At least she didn't tell him she was specifically afraid of a boat full of spiders or something. Edit: "Tough crap, it's my wedding too!" Edit again: I know who this guy reminds me of. A beach bum with idiot friends, he's basically Blake from Angry Boys, with all the complete lack of self-awareness that entails. ChuckDHead fucked around with this message at 21:21 on Oct 4, 2011 |

He's having a wedding at 10am so that he can whisk his new wife into tenby harbour on a whelk boat she is terrified of because even the lunar cycle was against his lovely wedding plans

Have I missed something? Why is this groom obsessed with the bride & bridesmaid dresses having pockets? What kind of bridal gown has pockets anyway?

Much as I hope for her sake that she cancels the wedding as soon as she sees the boat, I also feel like anyone willing to marry this deserves what they get.

ibroxmassive posted:Haribo wedding rings Bear in mind that she accepted a proposal using haribo rings. She may be dumb enough to fall for it a second time. Edit: It's going to be great if he somehow got a pack of Starmix that only had the one ring. I like the image of the ringbearer having to hand over one jelly ring and one jelly fried egg.

The bouquet that's made of spiky bits of coral and starfish is hopefully going to really hurt when she starts beating him over the head with it.

I'll say this for the girl, she is stoic and clearly very in love. Or really stupid and a total pushover.

Under those circumstances, you take whatever entertainment you can get and you are thankful for it. Also, Don't Tell The Bridge is a lovely idea for a gameshow. I feel that John Barrowman should present it. I can just see him, whispering sweet nothings to the Forth Rail Bridge, flirting shamelessly with the Golden Gate bridge...

And yes, I noticed my typo but it was amusing so I left it in

Obviously it would be a makeover show where the bridge was blindfolded and given a new coat of paint and like garlands and stuff and then they take off the blindfold and show the bridge a mirror and the bridge is always really dignified about it but you well up a little bit at home.

Even if I never bake anything from it; the mere presence of Mary Berry book in my kitchen will make even a plate of cheese on toast taste special.

e: forgot to quote bake off book chat above. I got the book they did after the first series for my birthday (from my mum, she likes to get presents that she wants  ), don't know if it's the same. It's got some pretty good recipes in it. Baking is fun and addictive. Especially if you can find appreciative people to eat your tasty treats. Baking for yourself is still fun but ultimately feels lonely. I am speaking from experience on both counts.

Leyburn posted:Yeah it was on tonight, with Richard E Grant putting in a surprising guest appearance. It's on iPlayer, I'll have to give it a watch now. Edit: You were right, this is probably the best it's been since the revival the other year. It's odd to see a mellower Rab than the psychotic from great old episodes like Rat, but there's been more laughs than I remember last time I watched the newer stuff. Edit again: Spoke too soon, he's back, and properly mental. And done. Best of the revival by far. Much as the frequently sad and dark human drama element has always been a vital part of the show, this one was all the better for just using it to set up a plot then substituting it for a much less down-to-earth situation that really worked, with plenty of funny lines (Rab's Halal Irn Bru might be better than the new Fiery Irn Bru that's in the shops at the moment...).

BBC2 daytime will now be repeats, no origination. Probably peak-time shows from BBC One, Two and Four as well as news programmes, e.g. The Daily Politics and Hard Talk.
