Correct me if I am wrong Mud but aren't you a fan of horror movies? See I can't watch those at all.

I am... But I know they're movies so I don't find them difficult. However real life things like bodies in wheelie bins and bodies that have decomposed or melted amongst rubbish that makes me feel icky..
 
Eww that hoarder story!

But on a lighter note, when my best friend who has a hoarder problem was moving house I offered to help her and clear out crap.

Good grief the stuff you find.............she's a teacher, she had so many old unopened boxes of chocolates scattered around her house and other teacher pressies. So we had lots of snacks whilst working.
She had a huge hoard of coloured paper that filled a trailer sent to the tip.

But the best find............sorting out her underground garage, full of crapo, and lo and behold - I squeeled, friggin hell i FOUND A CAR...........buried beneath stuff, a car (promptly sold).
 
I just watched Hoarders last night in full and it wasn't as bad as the story talkes about here but it was bad enough, and OMG how emotional the people get.. I felt sad for them.
 
A car! lol

Yes it's always sad Mud. And baffling. The psychologists that are there to help them have to be so delicate, it's so hard to understand how the hoarders can't just see it all for what it is.
 
A car! that is gold.

Reminds me of the Malcolm in the Middle ep where they find another toilet under all the crap and promptly put it all back so noone can use it
 
Hoarding is really common, there are cleaning teams some of my family have worked for that's all they do -regularly clean out hoarders homes.

What's everyon ewatching on TV????????

Thursday nights have turned into my favourite TV night - I have non stop shows to watch that all fit one after the other perfectly after dinner.
1. Heston's feasts - god I love this nut
2. Graeme Norton - last night was awesome, his chat format is often like a party
3. Craig Ferguson - my obsession
4. Then in bed I watch old Cheers & Roseanne - I'm really enjoying these shows I never saw
Or Letterman if someobdy good is on.

So what are you guys watching?
Other nights - MKR & Craig Ferguson are all I have to watch, and Survivor night of course, friday I watch dancing. And I slot in Entourage/30Rock/Parks & Rec if I can.

kxk, I'm falling in love with Craig Ferguson. He's just so damn likable. And the accent doesn't do him any harm :D

The show is always funny. And Jim Parsons (Sheldon from the Big Bang Theory) on it last night just made it even awesomer.
 
What I like about Craig Ferguson (well, okay, there's not really anything NOT to like) is that he seems genuinely engaged with the guests. Often with Leno or Letterman and the like, you can tell they couldn't give a funt who they're talking to - they just go through the motions. Craig seems to be able to stray from the script more naturally.

Graeme Norton is just awesome. You just never know what he's going to come out with next. I love when he has international guests on - especially Americans - because they always seem so shocked you can say the stuff he does on telly. Great viewing.
 
They were very cute together, the Doc Who stuff was very funny. And I adored Helena Bonham Carter the other night, she's delicious.
I love how Craig and Graeme Norton have such a totally different vibe from just a boring chat show - both are nuts and such fun to watch.

And Craig can go serious and he does it well, won a Peabody for his interview with Desmond TuTu.
I find Craig very sexy.


Oooooo Eurovison is soon, I hope we are getting the UK version with Graeme Norton's commentary not our sucky Aus comentary.

Yeah Mia you're right. He doesn't seem to have a script or a way he wants the interview to go. He's quite happy for the interview subject to lead the way and he asks questions relating to what they share. It's different and charming, and the guest interviewees seem to really respond well to it.
 
Graham Norton is genius - compared to him Rove is absolutely useless.

I am usually on 10 from 7.30 - 8.30 every week night, I think the only 10 show I watch at 8.30 during week is on Tuesday (NCIS) and from 6.30 - 9.30 on Sundays, also NZNTM on Sunday.

Others: TMZ, Mythbusters, Neighbours, Degrassi (unless there is a clash), TBBT, Kardashians, Top Gear, sometimes Q&A, Funny Videos hmmm what else? I think that is all the main stuff.

Extra stuff: Entourage, Weeds (gave up on the tv got dvd's)

I must say if I find an Escape from Scorpion Island marathon on the weekend I am like a pig in mud ha ha ha - it looks like such good fun!

Oh forgot to add Futurama & Simpsons - new ones, when nothing clashes

Question - re Graham, would you watch if it was just the Red Chair for 30 minutes?
 
You just dump the crap ones off!!

Did you hear the story about the lady rescuing the baboon - that one was gold.
