Wow, thank you.

I never knew any of this - only the KP allegation of an affair between Peter and Claire which was disproved in court and led to KP having to pay damages. Pete paid his share to charity or a trust for Harvey?

Yes the pictures of her boat party with a certain young girl being paraded around a lot of older men... amazing anyone would believe she didn't know.

Raymond’s dead?? “Aww Rosheeeeeeen” was the soundtrack to many a hangover when the omnibus was on.

She’s from Aberdeen I think?

Haha that's brilliant. I have heard a few people say Joyce is really nice. Someone else told me their daughter was in panto with her and she looked after her too. . Apparently she used to sell burgers in the burger van at her local football ground .
I used to know Joyce through family friends and living in the same area by brother went to school with her. She was lovely and always writing and performing while also working in the local Markies. Always with loads of red lipstick on. We were all so excited to see a local get a part on River City.

A Torry quine although her accent wasn’t as strong as on River City

I remember there was a thread about him on mumsnet wasn’t there? And hadn’t someone slept with him? There was the revelation that he was very into big boobs I think? A surprising number of women were very hot for him. I didn’t see the thread myself but heard about it. I think feelings ran quite high.

I wonder if the reaction people have to him, the feeling he is ‘wrong’, is that he is a pretending to be less human, more like a toy - a large, man-shaped, asexual, neutral, benign, overtly friendly and non-threatening character. It isn’t a very human character he plays.
However, Justin isn’t a man-sized Andy Pandy toy, he is an actor, and as such we expect the usual human quirks and tells and body language. It’s an unsettling mashup of the two characters. He’s a performer and entertainer but is so rarely seen as a man. What we as adults see, is this odd character who is very carefully created to show/act/display emotions and actions exceptionally clearly. Mr Tumble isn’t just a story telling character or entertainment. His character teaches socially acceptable behaviour and communication. And the body language he uses will be choreographed to basic movements with clear visual clues and readable actions. He won’t be using everyday body language that we use to read intent and honesty and base decisions on.
I wonder if that is where the odd reaction comes from. That’s why it feels wrong. It’s a strange juxtaposition and gives a bit of a visceral reaction.

Fwiw my mum knows the women who taught him makaton. She has nothing but good things to say about him.

I’m not sure. I understand the weird feeling completely but I think it’s just character confusion thing. I don’t think it is sinister.

I also think he got an unfairly hard time over that Sarah-Jane Honeywell story too. When she posed in just knickers with her hands over he boobs, lying on her back on a giant plate of food in central London for a PETA campaign, what did she think would happen? At the time she was a CBeebies presenter with Justin at the time and said he froze her out when she got let go. She was sacked I think and claimed they were best friends and he cut ties with her. She did this big DM story moaning about him but really…the FU was all her own


Firstly, I really doubt they were best friends. Maybe they got on very well at work but best friends? Really? I don’t believe it.

Secondly, if I was an children’s presenter (which is just as cut-throat as all tv) just starting to make a name for myself as a niche and (very innocent) character, I’d freeze her out too. No way would I risk my career for a colleague stupid enough to do that whilst employed to be a entertainer on TV for 1-5yr olds.

I dunno. Maybe I’m wrong. I’m not a fan. I hated watching his program with my kids. But I think the weirdness comes from something other than him being a wrong ‘un.

(That presenter on Doodle Doo however….phwoar. When he’d say to camera ‘Fancy a Doodle Doo?’ I felt like saying ‘Yes I do! I’ll have several, thanks!’)

She said that on The Graham Norton Show when all the rumours were swirling around. I don't think it was disproved as such because Katie admitted it wasn't true in court. That was another thread to all the drama.

As a relatively inexperienced member of staff, I tried to report my manager for treating patients when she was drunk. (Mistakes couldn’t be undone/negated in my field)
The manager I reported it to, (not as a horrible grass but I really needed help to treat the patients - you know someone who wasn’t drunk), told my manager. I ended up being bullied out of that hospital. Fucking bitches.

Oh, I could understand that. He was a bit cheeky and had a naughty glint in his eye.
But he also looked like he smelt of fags, had done too much speed, stayed up too late, too many times, had those white flecks on the side of his mouth and talked endlessly about obscure dance tracks.

Whistleblowers nearly always cop it.

I've worked with a few nurses over the years who have worked whilst drunk. I reported all of them, none of them got fired.

When I was a student nurse, there was a Charge Nurse who spent all day in the pub, rolled into work at 7.30pm, took handover, then went into his office to sleep, getting up half an hour before the day staff came on duty. We were told to disturb him only if absolutely necessary. I was a second year, working on a cardiology ward. Scary stuff.

There was a sister on Gynae who always reeked of whisky, but she did no hands on care, thankfully. The junior nurses were the decision makers and everybody knew she drank on duty, but she was above reproach for some reason.

When I worked in rehab with chaotic drinkers, a few of the clients were medics, and one gave me good tip - if you have a drink at work, eat salt and vinegar crisps or an orange afterwards and no-one will know If any of my colleagues start peeling an orange, I give them the side-eye these days.

Ah well, back to celebrity gossip, where drinking at work DOES get you fired - Stephanie Davies, Charlie Sheen, Kevin Kennedy, I'm looking at you. Kev went to rehab though and has been sober for decades.

I never had a thing about any of the presenters on CBeebies. Me and my OH used to have more fun making up stories about the characters in Balamory. For instance, Susie Sweet put Penny Pocket in that wheelchair and there was a whole ‘Whatever Happened to Baby Jane’ thing going on there. The boat at the beginning was used for human trafficking and my OH was forever singing ‘She is easy is Eadie McCreadie’ to the theme tune. Plenty of orgies going on after hours in her gaff....

In our house Me Too was known as the show where the characters need to get a grip, plus I was utterly convinced Raymond and Lisa were in a lavender relationship and Rudi and Louie was a drunken one night stand contraception fail and they'd agreed to co-parent.
Baby Jake was always the family who had no television.

The thing that I could never understand about Me Too - I’m all for inclusivity and representation of people of all races, sexualities and disabilities etc across all forms of media, but having a visually impaired man in charge of a market stall? It seemed to me that had not been thought through very well.

I lived in Portsmouth many many moons ago & she was always about down there desperately wanting to be recognised, but when anyone approached her she was super rude so went off her totally

Odd that she would cover her ring finger as she must know that Will lead to speculation.

I'm not surprised she has dismissed it publicly but l bet she tore his bollocks off in private.
