Homes and Teachers
I watched a bit too much Channel 4 last night. First there was "Other People's Houses" - here a posh bird (Naomi Cleaver) is rude to people who are re-decorating their homes.
She has a strange way of talking that involves putting emphasis on random words. (often, every other word)
Last night a couple, with admittedly very poor taste, had their work ripped to shreds by Naomi, who kept say things like, "Fred and Mary MAY feel that their new room IS an exciting change FOR the better, BUT personally I couldn't LIVE in THIS sort of nasty Environment".
Next up was "Grand Designs", where Kevin McCloud watches people destroy their homes. He says things like, "The project is now six months late and £20,000 over budget, I can't believe now that they ever thought they could get this finished by Christmas", while behind him the unhappy couple stand sobbing. Great Television.
Meanwhile, "Teachers" saw the welcome return of Simon, played by Andrew Lincoln. Sadly it's still not up to former glory. However, following my birthday last week, I now have the excellent first series on dvd, so I'm alright!
