I agree there is something mesmeric about transformation films (I'll even admit to being a sucker for chick-flick transformation films where ugly duckling become beautiful swans). Though I draw the line at Transformer films!Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02133900289384226725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35009574.post-80048204444181233632007-08-13T14:14:00.000+02:002007-08-13T14:14:00.000+02:00I agree there is something disturbing about living...I agree there is something disturbing about living in a society where people have become SO socially 'challenged' they have forgotten how to clean/how to raise their kids/dogs etc (although I suspect there has always been a small proportion of such people). However from a purely practical point of view if you have reached such a desperate stage and have no hope of getting straight without outside help, I guess it's worth the trade-off of allowing the TV cameras in to get your house sorted!<BR/><BR/>And quite honestly I find transformation programmes much more positive than rubbish like Big Brother which is just out to trash people and exacerbate any mental problems they already have. At least Kim and Aggie are motherly and obviously care about their subjects. And they really DO transform some of the lives they are allowed in to, that is obvious.The Poet Laura-eatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07779308486569849157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35009574.post-70790544168326669832007-07-14T12:14:00.000+02:002007-07-14T12:14:00.000+02:00Ha ha!

I do pride myself on being quite discerning in other areas and love quality dramas too - both from an escapist and writer's point of view. And you're quite right about some people needing instruction on how to make a decent cup of tea. It's a real skill and art. Shame Delia didn't include a chapter on it in her cook book (or maybe she did?)...Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02133900289384226725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35009574.post-36502152504976202732007-07-14T03:48:00.000+02:002007-07-14T03:48:00.000+02:00I have noticed your predilection for this type of ...I have noticed your predilection for this type of show but didn't realise it was unquenchable! I must admit, it's bad enough having to do housework never mind watching television programmes on how to do it!! Same goes for gardening, DIY etc. etc.<BR/><BR/>Mind you, there's many folk could use a series on how to make a cup of tea with tea bags, milk, sugar, and boiling water!!!TimeWardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06853837867256272087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35009574.post-47924002204221968502007-07-13T15:44:00.000+02:002007-07-13T15:44:00.000+02:00Now there's a fight I'd love to see!Now there's a fight I'd love to see!Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02133900289384226725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35009574.post-58069682257075921772007-07-13T14:25:00.000+02:002007-07-13T14:25:00.000+02:00I can see your point.

I find it very hard to believe that people can live in such appallingly squalid conditions as the filthy creatures who appear that programme. <BR/><BR/>Still, I'm a gay man and we're obsessed with cleaning. Supposedly. Actually I confess that Gustavo and I have now got a cleaner in to do our flat on a fortnightly basis, as we can't be arsed to do it any more. I'd be terrified of Kim and Aggie coming round to ours though. They'd probably castrate us on the spot just for leaving a few bread crumbs on the kitchen floor. (And I'd pull off Kim's tacky fake hairpiece in retaliation).Old Cheeserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17871751335676050949noreply@blogger.com
