    The grufferty family were brilliant last night. Don't know if they have moved house though. Maybe just got a new settee!

    I thought they had their house up for sale

    I am so not a stalker :o

    I didn't think they changed their couch. I loved it last night. .

    Nor do I but some people thought it.

    Slightly off topic but look at the Derry Girls - love the programme and hilarious! They are on Ray Darcey's new show and I have seen them interviewed before and they are terrible - no idea what to say without a script.

    She's reserved and quiet when meeting a stranger. Quite common really.

    She’s obviously going to be more relaxed and bubbly in her living room with her sons!!!

    Gosh some of the programs they get them to watch for Gogglebox - that painting one and the pimple popper. I presume they get paid for it cos I wouldn't watch that kinda rubbish otherwise.


    Anyone else find the 3 Louth lads a bit awkward? They were watching the program where suicide in young men was brought up and the guy in the middle said he gave up football because of depression - the two either side of him hardly said a thing and didn't know where to look. Now I don't expect them to get into a great debate about social issues but I would have liked a little discussion between the 3 of them about speaking up, tackling the stigma of mental health issues in men, how it's a problem for their generation etc and to show that young men are trying to turn things around. That clip showed to me that we are a long way off sorting out mental health issues yet.

    You probably get paid something.

    I actually thought the Louth lads reaction was kind of a guys thing in general and found it believable. The program is also highly edited so they could have edited a response.

    I don't know what to say. A young man said on TV that he suffered from depression and thats not enough for you. You want a discussion about it on a programme which is light entertainment. The format of the show is brief soundbites and natural reactions from "regular people".

    If you want a discussion about depression among young men, I suggest you ring Joe on 1850 715 815.

    It’s true what the
    At fella from Louth said about depression, nobody can talk about it, I’ve called sick into work claiming I’ve an upset stomach when it’s not, it’s depression/anxiety and feel like I can’t say it.

    I have one friend I can talk to but sometimes I still don’t think they get it.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,744 ✭✭✭✭freshpopcorn


    When that single mother was on all my could say was how does she dress/look after the baby with those nails!

    Only watched Wednesday's last night. I'm actually in danger of having to stop watching because of the girls in Cabra. They're so stupid it genuinely affects my enjoyment of the programme.
