Daytime tv is dangerous

Daytime tv is dangerous.
Apart from Escape to the Country which is just irritating (apart from the scenery).

Don't watch!

Many years ago, all of us in the office used to club together to place an order from the Lakeland catalogue, it saved on delivery charges and sometimes meant we got a free gift

We used to refer to the catalogue as "kitchen porn" blush

Was Clarissa Wright Dickson of The Two Fat Ladies talking Kitchen Porn when she referred to Jennifer's stick blender as her Kitchen Vibrator?

I have never watched Loose Women and agree about inane laughter but suggestive gluttony has been hinted at where food is concerned for centuries. Remember the scene in the film Tom Jones that had everyone talking?

Nowadays the word porn is added to all kinds of leisure activities, even gardening to 'sex it up a bit'. I can honestly say it has never so much has made me raise an eyebrow.

I think it's the inane laughter that goes with it that gets to me,it's like they are saying 'ohh aren't we being daring & funny' uhh no just making yourselves look silly.Nevermind each to their own

Must be a quiet day on the news front if this is all they have to discuss. What a waste of air time.

I agree Bridgeit calling anything ( other than porn) ‘porn’
Is ridiculous and in bad taste.

I'm sure loose women has got more pathetic as its gone along. They used to at least talk about some less ridiculous topics.

Yes I suppose, I don't see it often , but happened to be Channel hopping & occasionally something interesting crops up on there. I m not really a fan of popular light entertainments programmes , but it's good to see, & hear what pass for it these days, just caught the tail end of this today , my reaction was what ? really? Perhaps I need to get a life ?

merlotgran Tue 07-Nov-17 13:46:41

But you were watching Loose Women.....The clue is in the programme title. What did you expect?

They're not really Loose Women BTW....Just 'avin' a larff.

Bridgeit Tue 07-Nov-17 13:46:11

Thanks Nanabilly, I'm not a prude, but I am serious about some subjects being sexualised. It seems pathetic & insulting to me, when we know how lives are destroyed by real Porn

Nanabilly Tue 07-Nov-17 13:41:57

I don't like it either but we have to move with the times or so they say. Fed up of hearing things like car porn when you are going to look at cars or handbag porn when bag shopping and so on..
Childish ??? Very .

Bridgeit Tue 07-Nov-17 13:41:51

No not about Nigella, they were showing a rack of lamb very well glazed with little chefs hats on & now the new trend apparently is to refer to beautifuly presented dishes as Kitchen Porn , presumably because of the diserable appeal of the dish !?

Iam64 Tue 07-Nov-17 13:34:11

Is this just Nigella? If so, let her get on with it and make her (excellent) living.
If it's anything more seedy, nope, I'm not interested in porn, other than that if I ruled the world I'd try and prevent under 18's accessing it.

merlotgran Tue 07-Nov-17 13:30:37

Oh Nigella then.......Is that all? hmm

merlotgran Tue 07-Nov-17 13:30:04

Ooh yes. Please tell us. I'd hate to be missing out grin

Bridgeit Tue 07-Nov-17 13:29:27

Apparently it's about making certain dishes or describing dishes in an apparently sexy way,i.e. Succulent etc with a nudge , wink & titter ?

hildajenniJ Tue 07-Nov-17 13:19:43

Am I just a little innocent? What is Kitchen Porn?

Bridgeit Tue 07-Nov-17 13:11:09

Cannot believe what I have just heard on Loose Woman , the subject 'Is Are You Addicted to Kitchen Porn? Is it just me being too serious ?or do others think this is infantile & inappropriate considering how many woman (& some men) have had their lives ruined by the Porn industry?
