baddad Report post Posted May 28, 2008 Taking Ben and his best mate to see 'Brainiac Live' tonight! Bit of a swiz, in a way, 'cos so far I haven't been able to confirm whether any of the 'real' TV Presenters will be appearing or whether it's just the 'brainiac team' without them... It's ben's fave prog (along with 'Top Gear' -aggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhh ) so I'm hoping at least for John Tickle even if Vic Reeves etc is aiming a bit too high... If 'Professor Miang Lee' is there I may well explode! hubba hubba Whoo Whoo Woof Woof! If she's wearing her white bikini i'll definitely explode! Ben and L (his mate) are downstairs leaping about like loons playing the wii... already hyper to the point of no return - I dread to think what they'll be like by 7.30 Wish me luck - I think I'm gonna need it? Oh - if you hear a big explosion later, please take care of ben for me Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Flora Report post Posted May 28, 2008 (along with 'Top Gear' -aggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhh ) There's nothing wrong with Top Gear Ben obviously has extremely good taste I bet he likes it because Clarkie reminds him of his dad Hope you all have an explosive time I do wish you the best of luck, I've got Ben and his friend (ADHD ) demolishing the living room as I type Flozza Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
warrenpenalver Report post Posted May 28, 2008 Braniac is awesome!! Good job it wasnt around when i was a child I like when they blow up microwaves/caravans and play with explosives. Feeds the pyromania inside me! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bard Report post Posted May 28, 2008 Two of our favourite programmes! I warmed up to Top Gear after realising that the cars were incidental to the fun. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I, on the other hand, get an 8.5 for general parenting, a 7 for controlling my temper and being annoying with stupid songs and stuff, and 9.9999999999 for cooking, being nice and being fair. These scores awarded just last night in fact (can't remember what he had just watched but it involved awarding marks out of ten) so i know they're current I think he likes James(?) the best because the others pick on him but he knows the most anyway ... It's a funny thing with Ben (and all our kids i suspect) sometimes it's how much he does pick up that leaves you going If only he could generalise it!

Oh - if you hear a big explosion later, please take care of ben for me My husband took our little boy to see it and he loved it! Sorry, no Miang lee. The only real brainiac there was joe, he can usually be found upside down superglued to a board or running through cling film. They do blow up a caravan ( not so it erups into huge flames). Very interactive with the audience apparently. Am i right in thinking that it is not just my boy who is obsessed with this show? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's the reason that B gave for liking Hammond best, 'He's funny but Clarkeson bullies him and always wants his own way, and breaks the rules so that he can win' Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

David Matthew Baker Report post Posted May 28, 2008 So who's adopting Ben then? Baddad obviously must have exploded (So peace at last for us all. ) hence why he hasn't posted on here again yet. I hope you all had a really good time. The question though is did they fake any of the experiments. Anything that gets kids (and I guess adults too) enthused in science though is good in my book.
