Anyone else enjoying this, or just us men "of a certain age" ?

There is a SLIGHT problem
I'm finding I tend to agree with a lot of the comments
Does this mean I'm getting old?

Its a really funny programme but what I don't understand is what have these rich, successful, middle class people got to be so grumpy about?
Maybe it would be better if the BBC got ordinary people off the street to complain. It wouldn't be as funny but it would be spending the licence payers money better.

I love Grumpy Old Men ;)
(the TV programme that is!)
Last series was fab - Will Self had me laughing so much.

As a female I have to agree ( on the whole) with the guests comments on the programme - I must be a grumpy old woman!:rant:

I think its a great show, should be require viewing for all politicians and anyone slse who has an influence on the way society is going.

by the way, who is that little guy who is with Jeremy Clarkson? He's quite funny whoever he is!

That will be A.A.Gill.
Writer, food critic, author, journalist etc. A search on google will give you more.

Some of the grumpy old men aren't grumpy enough for my liking.
Do you think that the makers would accept an "ordinary member of the public" as a participant?

Just started watching this on BBC2 - what an an absolutely excellent program.
They are so right with what they are saying as well.

I'd love to be a participant as well.

I've just seen tonight's episode as well. I think there are another programme called 'Grumpy Old Women' too. Caught one or two of that series. It is hilariously funny. :D Though, scary too. All those things like the menopause to look forward to ! >.< !!

I like tonight's episode. They're quite pedantic and particular about the English lang's, aren't they ?

St Thomas' Hospital sign - "Serving you 24 hours a day"
Want extra cottonwool with that ? :rolleyes:

I didn't know poor Tim Henman have such pressures on him. He was taken to pieces by that grumpy guy.
"I think it's his name, Tim."
"No-one with the name Tim wins anything" (!)
"What about the surname Hen-Man ? It doesn't sound like a winning name, does it?"

LOL. What has a name got to do with anything ? Yes, very logical...

I really like this programme, especially Will Self. I'm going to see Grumpy Old Women in York next week, hope it's as funny as the tv version. I think the women one at Christmas has to be my favourite so far and I agreed with most everything they said.. oh god, there's no hope!

Yeh, cracks me up sometimes, cus i love a moan..and i'm only 20. That one posh black bloke makes me laugh so much cus of his weird, posh tone.

I'd be on moaning about moronic students e.g. saw 1 the other day wearing shorts, t-shirt and a scarf - muppet.
