??? is this a joke? blurting it out? it was a joke..................a term of endearment - know onw knows what their relationship is like

I walk in to my parents for dinner some nights and I aim for the fridge, Dad is right in behind me shouting "FATTY" " no wonder your beefing up!!" (I AM NOT BY THE WAY hah ) but he does it jokingly - some people may find offensive but thats how we are. I say he is going bald, I take the mick out of his outfits, its jokefly

Rude

Jokes to some. The sign of satan incarnate to others I guess.:shrug:

My dad burst out laughing but I missed him actually saying it.
If she's used to him, she probably won't take it that badly, he's probably always called her that/joked around like that...

How do we know that he hasn't called her that at home before?

I wouldn't speak to my mother like that but if they do then live and let live.

I'm sure he said it in jest and that he loves his Mum. I'm not a fan of Marcus, but can't believe he meant that.

Yeah, he's all front, you can see that he loves his mum.

NO!!! REALLY? Was it a joke? And I was SO serious! :laugh::laugh::laugh::joker::joker::joker::joker:: laugh::laugh::laugh:

i think he was genuinely pleased she was there.but was trying to play it down,hence the jokes.he didnt want his macho image to drop.

Laughing my ass off at all teh puritans on here who are judging Marcus and his mums relationship based on their parent/child experiences...."oooh I'd never call my mother that" etc etc. All puffed out chests and mock outrage. Is it so beyond your realm of understanding that some parents and children DO have very close, friendly and jocular relationships?? What is acceptable to them may (obviously) not be acceptable to you, but if you've seen Marcus's mum on BB and BBLB, how can you fail to see the woman loves him very much, has a great sense of humour where Marcus is concerned (esp the "naughty boy, naughty man line, which made me laugh cos it sounded like she was taking the piss out of him), and is very comfrotable with the relationship they have. Christ they live together! There must be a great deal of warmth and affection there for that to be the case.
So, off your high horses before you fall and break your necks! :banana:

it was very obviously a term of endearment...

Hmmmm, they occupy entirely separate parts of the same building. If you call this 'living together' then yes, they do.

seems so. there are person like google, BBmassive, rayheartbliss and so on, they are as funny as church picninc

The idea that he stopped growing as a man when he was 14 is cemented more and more. I really like him.

you should hear some of the things my OH and her ADULT son say to each other, and there is NO DOUBT in MY mind that they LOVE each other to bits, they are more like best friends than mother and son, there is NO "disrespect" between them AT ALL, in fact they "joke around" with each other and sometimes say the most shocking things to each other IN JEST, BECAUSE their bond is so strong,
and I have NO DOUBT whatsoever that the same thing is true of Marcus and his mum,
but HEY the "high n mighty" of the forum think THEY know how their relationship is...NO, they seem to think they have the RIGHT to dictate how it SHOULD be, how bloody DARE they

exactly :hello: and they are the same perons who have talked **** about marcus 24/7. they desperately try to find something to make him look bad. wanna see em faces tonight :joker:

Things that make him look bad? That would be our televisions then! :joker:

Marcus clearly loves his mum or he wouldn't have her move in with him and she wouldn't stay if what and how he acted offended her, they obviously have a great relationship:lovedup:

He has no respect for anyone therefore his comment was not surprising coming from a self opinionate foul mouthed freaky weirdo

I think Marcus was pretty pleased that his mum had been involved in one of the tasks. Could you not see that Marcus had a beaming smile on his face? As for the calling her a mingebag and what not, it was all said in jest and I'm sure he loves his mummy.
:flower:

Long Run, I sincerely hope you are joking because if not, your attempt to insinuate that I am in an abusive relationship offends me more that anything Marcus could ever say in one of his sweary rants. :nono:

Domestic abuse is rife in this country - and if controlling, manipulative men like Marcus had their way - there might be a lot more!

VoR - never has a username been less well matched to a set of posts :nono:

Church Picnic Time!!!! Whine everyone!!!

Really! Says who! A Manky Marcus fan I presume! Strange that!

Oh my :laugh: It's ok to do that at home if that's the norm but he's clearly never been taught to use some discretion while out and about.

I like the egotistical self-naming you've indulged in, the username suits you down to the ground. Unfortunately the fact that you see Marcus as "controlling and manipulative" and a candidate for domestic violence is so far removed from reality that it renders your points humourous at best. I'd bet quite a large sum of money that Marcus's previous girlfriends would not use either of those two words to describe him. Call it womens intuition :tongue:

With pleasure! I have a longer memory than you obviously! I know what I have seen and heard - and I know the tell-tale signs! If people choose to behave in a certain way on public television - then they lay themselves wide open to criticism!

The amount of verbal abuse and absolutely libellous allegations made towards other hms such as Bea, Sophie and Noirin far exceed anything I have said!

Don't try to intimidate people with threats of suing when you obviously don't know bugger all about it!

Oh - I didn't realise you knew personally - you obviously think you know him so well!

I thought it was very funny! A lot of you need to lighten up my god you should all know his sense of humour by now!
