"I wouldn't say it's a mansion"


What?!?!

[Beastie]

I read in The Sun that the 2 girls become good friends. The poor girls mum still had university debts of 20 grand. She did her degree in law. The rich man gives the poor woman a job at his company apparently :)

Yeah I read they become good friends. I saw the ad. The 'poor' woman seemed reluctant to take their money. What a predicament, poor cow

[Ninastar]

"I wouldn't say it's a mansion"


What?!?!

lmao I know. did they say it had 32 rooms or something?

[Beastie]

Lol if she is in debt, she might as well take the money!!

[Beastie]

The poor woman is pregnant again?? while still in debt? :S where is the dad?

[Kerry]

lmao I know. did they say it had 32 rooms or something?

Didn't hear but it's hardly a two bed semi :shocked: :D

[Beastie]

Screwball Scramble! I loved that game :D

I was admiring the GeoMag she was playing with in her room. Now that was a bargain. It costs a packet :D

Lol yes. Gosh children at such a young age have their own laptops and tv's and just go on them hours on end!!

Well suppose I watch too much tv or go on laptop too much but such young kids.. they need other games.. they need to make dens.. go outside! lol

[Kerry]

Kids are always out playing around here. It's nice to see. Though I don't doubt they go in to computer games :)

haha I know!

[Beastie]

Lol well suppose it is good to have a bit of both! but if I have kids I would not just give them a TV or laptop straight away at a young age.

Problem is it's such a part of school these days. IT. Though I reckon it needs to be limited. I do it though thankfully it's not an issue

[Kerry]

Awwwww no wonder she didn't want to accept it straight away. They didn't even know them by then!

What a feeling to pay those bills off

[Beastie]

Yeah there is plenty of IT jobs out there. Well maybe not at the moment. lol

[Kerry]

Awww Iris is adorable

[Ninastar]

this show is really making me want to be able to do well for my kids (in the future i mean, seeing as i have none) :blush2:

I like shows like this that show exactly as the title says, how the other half live. Theres way too much snobbery in this world

[Ninastar]

yeah true. I do think rich people are discriminated against too much though.

[Kerry]

yeah true. I do think rich people are discriminated against too much though.

Goes both ways though really. Poor are looked down on, rich are classed snobs. I like how this episode strikes the balance well. No 'snobbery' either way

[Ninastar]

Same tbh. its a good balance. they should do shows like this more often.

[Kerry]

It's humbling and uplifting too

[Kerry]

Awwwwww I'm all teary

[Ninastar]

so is that the only episode? :'(

[Kerry]

No, the link said it's a series so I hope not

[Ninastar]

ahh oh right. Me too!

[Kerry]

Just checked and it certainly says series and it's on next week (15th same time) :)

[Ninastar]

aww wow! yay! im really excited about it actually. thanks for checking! xx

[setanta]

I watched it last year and was very affected by the whole thing. Nice to see that it's back on again.

Did you watch today? Great start to the series

[setanta]

Nah, I missed it unfortunately. Loved the last series though. Very refreshing to see a programme like that, which tries to cross social and class distinctions. Quite moving. Of course it helps that they have such lovely families to begin with.

It'll be on C4OD if you want to watch it :)

I don't think I can watch that from Ireland though. It'll probably be posted on youtube or a tv site at some stage. Maybe e4 will repeat it. It's that good?

It's a good episode yes :)

[setanta]

It's a good episode yes :)

I really think you'd like The Wire. It touches on so many issues that I think you might be interested in: race, social injustice, poverty... you name it basically. Crosses all barriers in it's attempts to convey how the very fabric of society is affected by drugs. Anyway, ramble over. lol.

I've heard the title but no idea what it is

Well from the outside you'd assume it's just a cop show, but it's far more than that. Ground breaking stuff that explores all areas of society and politics. Anway, yeah, I'll defo be watching How the Other Half Lives. Excellent programme.

OK cool :)

[Jackie]

Couldn't stand that posh boy he made me cringe with his voice.

[Kerry]

C4 now

[Ninastar]

Aww this is such a cute show

[Kerry]

I bet so many of these families end up good friends for life

[Ninastar]

Yeah. you would never think they would get on, and they seem to just bond so well. It was a touching episode today.

[setanta]

Missed it because of the football. I'll have to check up on youtube for them now. Feck.

[Jackie]

Watched the first show no i find it boring for some reason.

Yesterdays was pretty good but I missed last weeks

[Kerry]

Good '1 Year On' show today. Showing the differences made a year on from series one to one of the families featured. Very moving and really made you think. On the most part the changes made were from a couple of people who watched the show

[Kerry]

Good episode last night. Eye opener. I thought the 'rich' family were going to pull out and they still didn't look entirely convinced at the end to me either
