Topic: Monty Don tknow his arse from his elbow.

[Merlins Mum]

Agree completely kitty.
what I don't understand is why he's getting sl***ed off for speaking well, good god it's a bonus when you can understand a presenter.

Ok, someone start "The sexiest gardening presenters thread", we can all have a laugh, y-fronts, babyoil and any other fetishes included.

[gunnerbee]

Suprised no-ones mentioned Hugh Fearley-Whittingstall yet, oiled up with babyoil, wearing a leather g-string, with those grubby features!!!!LOL.

[grawrc]

Actually I don't want to stand up and be counted. Is this a television poll or a growing forum ???

I don't care who the presenter is: some of us like one some another. I don't watch current gardening programmes any more. Mainly because they bore me to death irrespective of who the presenter is.

I used to enjoy Geoff Hamilton and Alan Titchmarsh. So what.

Grawrc is getting grumpy.

[Gardenantics]

I'm feeling a bit guilty for knocking old Monty now. I think I will apply my view of gardens to him. I don't think there is such a thing as a bad garden. Just different gardens, and I like being in gardens. So, no such thing as a bad TV gardener, just different ones. It was a bit of a laugh though.

i think the way gw is produced is more to do with todays lack of concentration powers judging by the rest of tv i dont think a mere presenter can be blamed

Kitty has put her finger right on my problem with GW.  They cram too many topics in and don't tell you enough about any of them.  I'm always left thinking "Yes, but when/what/how..."  It's like a butterfly flitting about.  TV producers today think we have the attention span of a gnat.

[Gardenantics]

Perhaps somebody should pitch a new reality gardening idea to the producers.

BIG BORDER

Day one in the Big Border garden and the garden mates have been given the task of planting spring bedding, will they get the brown bit in the ground and the green bit in the air, stay watching after we return from the commercial break.

ROFL! although actually the thought of any more reality shows  >:( >:( >:(

BL the avatar is a Harry Potter Dementor. The ones that chill your brain and make you so sad you can go mad. :o

[colleenemp]

Yeh! Big boarder......
Hugh is lovely too.....more so than Monty!
What is actually wrong with gardening in a skirt?
Also, agreed on the accent thing...I got several beatings way back in my school days for my accent, do we really need to continue such petty predjuduces in so called adulthood?
Interest in organic gardening, growing our own food and cutting down those food miles in the most direct way possible can only be a good thing.  ;)

Day Two in the BIG BORDER garden, and a dispute has taken place between Alan Bigswamp, and Derment Gravel as they were making up this weeks shopping list. Derment complained that Alan has crossed off his request for 24,000 stainless steel balls, and put down 24 bags of 'muck' instead, Alan has been called into the Potting Shed to speak to THE HEAD GARDENER.

Head Gardener;
Well Alan, explain why you cancelled Derments order?

Alan;
Ney, i'nt it obvious, the lads a barmpot.

Head Gardener;
But you are all equal in the BIG BORDER garden Alan.

Alan;
It's just a load of balls! I only came on the show to get material for another saucey book.

Join us again after this commercial break.

brian-you arent sposed to drink that baby oil y'know! ;)

deeeaaaaaaay 3 in the big border house..
sarah craven is called into the potting shed-she has been overheard talking to her seedlings-this is expressly forbidden in the big border shed and could result in our sarah being made to wear trousers!

montague is being  snubbed by the other gardeners for his posh accent
and derment is 'balling'his eyes out  in the corner-sad because alan cancelled his order.....

[Taraven]

Well I'm with Trixibelle here  ;) Monty, in his boxers  :D
I happen to like Monty, but my favourite will always be the wonderful Geoff Hamilton.
Bob Flowerdew is another one I'd like to see more of....but this brings us back to the boxers and baby oil  ;D ;D
Take no notice, I got drenched out there in the pouring rain this afternoon and water must've addled my brain.

Love it!! Brian get that idea sent into channel 4 immediately.  I for one want to watch that.  ;) busy_lizzie

[Gardenantics]

Day 4 in the BIG BORDER garden, and security guards have made a sweep of the bothy to remove bottles of baby oil smuggled into the house by Carnel Kline, she is unrepentant, and says "If chip fat works back ome in Bolton, it will do here" All the men seem to be hiding in the back of the border. Except Derment, who is still upset about his balls!
