You've said you don't agree with him being there but havent said why.

No I haven't - I have said that his inclusion makes me feel uncomfortable and that I actually don't know why this is.  I really would appreciate if you would lose the antagonistic tone you appear to have with me of late - if you dislike me that is fine but maybe in that case it would be best if you didn't speak to me.  I will not allow this thread to descend into chaos and nastiness like others have done.

Oh  for goodness sake PP.  I just asked why you didnt want him on there.  I am being perfectly reasonable and asking a simple question and you lunge at me and accuse me of being antagonistic.  PP, youre totally out of order here.,  I just simply ASKING A QUESTION,  You started this thread and said you don't feel comfortable with a soldier being on the show and I just asked WHY.  Why can't you just answer the question without going mad at me and trying to start an argument?  You can't start a thread like this and attack and shout at people who ask you simple questions.

So I shall try again: why do you feel uncomfortable with him being on there?

Right..PP why do  you feel he should not be in the show...OK he's not a "Celeb" but then a lot of folk who star in these things are celebs by default..partners/etc of celebs.So you have asked "Is it right?" that he is included but yet you do not know why...so do you want folk to tell why he should be or what?

Maybe it's your wording?

Black.

THANK YOU Katty !  That is all that I was asking, and everyone on this thread can see that.  I am interested to know, seeing as how PP started the ruddy thread stating she didnt feel comfortable with him being there.  Don't start threads like this and then go off on one at people who ask you to elaborate.

Sparkles..

This is my only question  on this thread...I feel a wind up coming on again..hope not.

So I shall try again: why do you feel uncomfortable with him being on there?

Like I said I don't really know what it is that makes me uncomfortable - he seems a nice enough man and has been through more than most people could ever possible imagine yet I just get this uncomfortable feeling.

Rigghht! You have a "feeling" okay.Do you think he's being expolited a bit as an ex soldier or is it just trash TV as always.

I think the world needs more good roll models so he's got to be better that some of the drunks and shoite on there already....

I thought instead of asking 'Is it right' which gives the impression that it is wrong for him to be there...perhaps 'The Soldier on DOI - what are your thoughts on him being there?' especially as the OP has said she cannot pin point why she feels uncomfortable about him doing the show. The question title of the thread gives off the wrong impression I think.

Disclaimer - This is not an attack, baiting or anything else of that manner btw, merely a constructive observation!

Fair point!!

Good idea to put a disclaimer karma.    I actually only asked a question, thats all, and I feel afraid to post anything else on here now, in case I am deemed as being confrontational or antagonistic.  Actually i will leave the thread now as I feel uncomfortable and I feel like anything I say on here will be misconstrued.

I have always thought that what these 'celebrities' have done in the past was irrelevant.
I thought the criteria was that they, vaguely, come under the heading of 'celebrity' even if that status is V, W, X, Y, Z list.
If more than a couple of people have heard of you you can be a contestant.
I don't much like it when contestants on any talent / competition show leans on a bit of sympathy which is not related to the task in hand.
But other than that I don't see a problem.
It doesn't trouble me because I don't watch it.

Stonks...that pisshead Denise Walsh springs to mind.,her poor hubby ...Gawd! I hate her and those daft Loose women bints.,Bunch of eejits on lunchtime Tv,.,.Grr Now then I did like the show when it first started and Kaye Adams (a true journalist) was in charge..now we have that feckin ' Coleen Nolan,and that Corrie reject..and others.

Bloomin' heck Sparkles..post away,don't be put off please.

Never watch any of this type of prog. Not my type of entertainment.

Don't be put off.

Not everyone will misconstrue you.

Too bloody rtight Jonesy!

Totally agree katty, how the feck does ITV condone a woman of her age or any age bragging about being blathered all the time, she looks rough and she is rough, she's just an old dipso, I used to really enjoy the show but can't abide it now....

TBH PP, I wanted to ask that long before Sparkles did but with stuff that happened in other threads, I thought it best not to 

And breathe Katty 

Not my scene, but mostly harmless IMO.

Okay Sprout...sighs!!

Too true.

I get ignored if I try to post any sensible contribution and get ignored but I still carry on!

Ditto! 

Ignores everyone...

Oh ell. to ignore .......or not to ignore........  I really don't want to ignore you's all  don't put me in that position please?

I don't want to be ignored! We watched "inception" tonight and I dare not go to sleep.

Hmm looks like PP has pissed off!

I'm not making a point of ignoring you Joe, what is it about the film? Do I need to see it for myself?

Probably not! I found it a bit unusual.

Oooh what a dilemma!

Ordered that again from Sky earlier for the boy. He said it's good.

Oooooooh - I don't like scary films.

I thought it was the biggest pile of poo I have had the misfortunte to watch !   Me & the girl...    we were most put out at the waste of a couple of hours watching that! 

But then we thought Beverly Hills Chihauhua was pretty good so what would we know! 

neither do I.   Inception isn't scary...    its just pointless

It works on many levels mind.

I know 

Aw.. I know loads of people liked it Joe...  Mr Ditty thought it was good.   


Totally unrelated to Inception...  but when I went to find out how to spell Chihauhua (cos I can never remember) I put Chiwawa into google  and something odd came up on the bit where it previews what google images could find..... 

I daredn't click on the pic to see if its actually a dog... or a scary stuffed toy
