really enjoyed the toy show this year, curled up on a blanket with a glass of white wine and a tub of Tesco Rocky Road, happy days!

what i liked:
Thunderstruck kids - little rockers in the making
Violin kid - note perfect
Set dancers - traditional and very well done
Annabelle - 32 counties with no hesitation, made me go aaaww
Culchie kid - bless him, he was funny
Shane & Nicole - not even a westlife fan but she was adorable
John & Edward - exactly as i thought they would be, big kids - didnt cop on to the curse til i read it here though :eek:
John Joe - an old soul in a little boy's body, hilarious and entertaining to watch

what i disliked:
panto song at start - miming should be banned from the toy show
choir at end singing hallelujah - so glad they edited the "inappropriate verses for kids" from it, but so boring and no offense to them, but there were probably better choirs to choose from
The girl showing the dolls (older one) - irritated me from the get go, attention seeking, and Ryan still spent more time with the other little girl!

Ryan did a good job, very fast paced but i think that was more the producers' fault trying to squish so much into the time slot. Disappointed he went for a boring jumper though, i don't care if he's modernised the show, that's a loooooooooong standing tradition!

Earlier on during the toy show, most posts you made were paedo references.

Now you are giving out about there being a Johnjoe appreciation group on facebook where 99.9% of comments are benevolent.

Strange stuff.

I didn't do anything to the kids.

I thought it lacked much atmosphere.I was disappointed over all. I don't get the fuss about John Joe.Certainly he was a nice ,bright child but clearly with the choice of clothes etc his parents intend to accentuate any eccentricity he has to make him a little characature.It might be fun for the viewing public and for him for a short while but over all it's a tacky stunt.Kids don't exist to entertain adults.

Did anyone get the name of that remote controlled bird. The wings flapped like a bird and glided to land....think it was iFlight or i....something. Cannot fnd it on the web....

Thought it was a cool piece of technology, wanna get my hands on one.

How was he exploited? He is an intelligent kid and what exactly should he do, talk street? Wear "street" clothes - would that make him less expolited?

rubbish.

EDIT:

Also JohnJoe for Finance Minister, and minister for horology

i thought tubs was excellent and like the show but it didnt give me a xmas feeling.

ncarroll

Tubridy was useless. Asked childern the same question over and over..., forgot their names even though they wore name tags.

Tubridy looked nervous while doing the whole show, and it lacked in the Christmas vibe.

He didn't take time to mess with toys, let childern lead the show. He was sarcastic and used cheap jokes to look "cool".

Stupid really!!

I wanted to see Dustin also....:mad::(:mad:

Loved his remark about the Rolex, put that overpaid giraffe in his place. Seems like a clever child, cant imagine he gets a great time from the other kids in school though.
