What's tickled the trickle?


I'll tell you what's tickled the trickle... Only the mod-con that is television that's what!

For years I thought I was genuinely wasting my time watching telly. Perhaps revision in front of Nadia storming to victory in Big Brother wasn't the best idea, but I definitely think sometimes, just sometimes, it's an investment.

Top of my list and no tragedy in sight... Claire Richards: My Big Fat Wedding. What a legend she turned out to be eh? I was never a devotee of Steps but find me a person that didn't develop a soft spot for Claire in that programme.

But don't worry tricklefaces, my glasses aren't utterley clouded with the Body Shop's rose musk. Got to point out that whilst what Claire did was something like a phenomenon (thanks LL Cool J), there is a recession going if you hadn't noticed. Inspiring yes... but personal trainers and weight loss grand-costing camps aren't within everyone's chubby grasp.

Next on my top watches. Hi-fives all round at Waterloo Road. Adoption. Child Trafficking. Teacher love. Who can ask for more? And I tell you for why (nod to Bryn), Steph Haydock and Miss Mason always stand by people. Loyalty is a proper character asset.

As for The Apprentice... are we over it yet? I can't decide. I was excited about it's return but then I wonder if they're just a bunch of ego-loving gimps and then I can't decide if i'm bored again. All the seemingly nice guys: Maj, Paula and Rocky are out whilst eijits like Ben and Deborah stay. At least Geordie Phil has been ushered off in a taxi. Despite what Jim Bowen would say, "You CAN beat a bit of bully!"

Stick to your morals tricklers, whatever they may be, and it's sure to be "Great, Smashing, Super!"
