  • How can you get 0 percent? Not fair!

    Did you see Dr Who when Rose was possesed by umm that Cassandra thing 'I'm a chav' (or something)
  • That chav bit made me laugh! I loved Dr Who - I've been very impressed by Billie ?? whotsit?? (can't remember her name). Before the first series started, when they made the announcement about her being the Doctor's sidekick, I thought she was going to be rubbish - but she's been great. (Not sure about the new Doctor though!)
  • Piper! The new Doc will never be the old Doc. Christopher Eccleston is a meanie leaving already.
  • I agree with you completely - Christopher Eccleston was perfect as the Doctor - and although he wasn't the best looking man in the world he was quite lustworthy in his own way.
  • I don't have a clue what a chav is and just as well since I am only 8% <G>
  • Misti 'chav' comes from a Romani (gypsy) word for 'child' but inexplicably, it's become British slang for 'white trailer park trash'. If you Google the words 'Vicky Pollard' you may see an example - or just look at pics of Brittany Spears to get the idea....

    It's a really insulting term. You don't want to be a chav, trust me! Just one misjudged thing can turn you into a chav - bling, for example, fake tan, white stilettos, ankle bracelets or anything Burberry.

    Ooh Dr Who.... I totally fancied Christopher Ecclescake but David Tennant is also getting quite high on the list of favourite Dr Whos. My 5 year old is Dr Who obsessed - he made me video it on Saturday because the DVD's not out til May and he's watched it over and over all week, so far... He keeps quoting it at us... he's a real nerd!
  • Thanks for the explanation, Phat! LOL fortunately I don't have any of the examples you gave.
  • Most of us that come up as 'wannabee Chavs' can probably blame our mothers for our 'Croydon Facelift' ponytails or for eating canned meat. I intend to put all the blame firmly at my mum's door! I see years of therapy and Oprah or Tricia appearances looming large!
  • 31% Chav here! Damn eating tea, raves, screw top wine, and white stiletto's! And of course my friend who was only in the audience for Trisha but did jump up and wave his finger at someone. As someone else said if you blanked out the 80's, and believe me I'm trying (!),my score would be much more respectable.

    I loved the previous Doctor Who and was gutted when he left but last saturday left me thinking 'I could get used to him' about the new one. He's kinda sexy and that's wrong but so right!
  • Aw, no - the 80s were great!!

    *looks around blankly as the room goes suddenly silent and everyone looks at her warily*

    They were!!! Great music, big hair and white stilettoes!!

    Or is it just me?
  • Nope, Robsia...it's not just you!
    <-----wore a white stilletto or two in her day! PLUS, owned stock in Aquanet Hairspray!
  • No - I loved the 80s as well - in the early years I was a New Romantic and after that I turned in to a Goth for a while .... sad person that I am!

    I have never worn white stilletoes but I did have the BIG hair, power suits and shoulderpads for work. Did anyone else have those shoulderpads on an elasticated shoulderholster thingy that you put on under your clothes? I mean, in those days the clothes came with huge shoulderpads built in to them and I still wore the separate shoulder pad thingies underneath. By the time I had a jacket over the top I was wearing three layers of shoulderpads and must have looked like an American football player! Those were the days... I was a size 10 for all of the 80s!
  • My proudest moment in the 80s was when I got on a bus in my latest get-up and a punk on the seat behind turned to the person next to her, horrified as a little old lady, saying *But you can't wear that with that!* I was sooo flattered that I wore things punks daren't...

    Never had the big hair, never had the shoulder pads, never had white stilettos (bright red ones, sky blue ones, orange ones....) Did have the ra-ra skirt and big eyebrows like Madonna's.
  • I love Christopher Eccleston...he lives around the corner from me. I once saw him being accosted by some youths while I was having my hair cut. The hairdresser was like 'oh, what's going on over there? Is it? Oh its Christopher Eccleston!!!!' Very exciting. I've seen him walking about quite a bit, he likes his jogging too. Whenever he is walking about he always seems to be clutching a Boots placcy bag!
  • Sarah Anne - re shoulder pads - I rmember getting myself a navy suit that I thought would be just the ticket for an interview. It was just as you described - I could have played American football in the jacket! Of course I have to quickly removed them before the interview!
