History the really dirty way
[email protected]
I just went on an e-mail address I hadn't used for... oh... a year. And I
found a piece of mail from my husband to a list I haven't read for... oh....
two years. But it's really funny!!

I have heard that Tony Robinson (who played Baldrick on Black Adder) is
hugely popular in England for doing TV series on history and archeology, and this
is related to some of that. It's a quiz to tell you what horrible medieval
job you are best suited for.
Wow.
The scary part isn't medieval at all. It's that in England there is a
reality program called "How Clean is Your House" where people (it seems implied)
come and visit and inspect and put the thing on TV. YIKES!

is so bad. I watched it once while visiting a friends house over here. I only watched it because it is the type of friend who keeps the television on when you are there. I was so shocked. The women's house was disgusting not just messy but truly dirty and she seemed to be so pleased to be on television showing the world how bad it all was. I know there are days when the washing up does not get done and the house is a mess here but those are the days that this house is only open to really true friends who know that human beings are more important to us than the state of the house. However the one thing that got to me was the mouldy food in the fridge and the piles of dirty washing all over the place. Maybe I am a closet clean and tidy person ----No NOT ME----

Yes Tony Robinson is excellent in the Time Team programme and when we lived in England we never missed it.

It's that in England there is a
running that show here in the US as well, perhaps on HGTV or another
of those "fix-it" channels... Doubt if I ever have time to watch it
(because if I get a spare minute from playing with my kid or working
on my home business then it will go towards chatting on the puter or
cleaning my own house or sleeping or someing, but you never know...)
But I know they have some real crazy shows here on US TV as well...
So honestly I could imagine, they people do get a clean house out of
it -- don't they?? Although if they were coming to my house I would
lock them out, although that show that gives away the free kitchen
makeover - I would welcome them. Speaking of those "real life" tv
shows has anyone ever seen the one about the nanny that comes in and
tells the parents what they're doing wrong? I watched it for 20
minutes once and had to turn it because my blood was boiling that I
was so mad! I hope life learning / unschooling gets so popular they
eventually get whole TV networks of their own to air some decent
shows.... I know I'm a dreamer... Barbara aka Moza

I saw part of one, and the nanny was telling the dad he needed NOT to spank,
not to hit, or she was outa there. She got them to deal with the kids in
way better ways than hitting. So maybe it doesn't suck uniformly. <g>

>>Speaking of those "real life" tvMy kids and I love these shows (Nanny 911 and Supernanny). Most of the time,
>>shows has anyone ever seen the one about the nanny that comes in and

the nanny works with the parents to listen to their kids, and help the
parents see what THEY are doing to make things crazy in the house (ignoring
the children, yelling at them, spanking them, ridiculing them). Aside from
their propensity for saying that kids have to sleep in their own beds, we've
found the nannies to be supportive of the children, and supportive of better
parenting. We've had GREAT conversations based on those shows.

That's how I feel about those shows too. They usually leave the families
better off than when they arrived. Some of those families are in total
chaos. But the big deal they make over sleeping in their own beds does make
me a little nuts.

Yes this is "Time Team" that plays on History International (part of the
Discovery stable of cable channels) but not as that title, so sometimes it
is hard to find. I have seen it under the banner of "History Traveler" I
*think*. (It's been a while.)
http://www.discoverychannel.co.uk/timeteam/feature1.shtml
I love this show. It's like a game show for Archeologists, with a time
limit. What I love about it most I think is how delightedly excited they all
get when they realize that their theory is WRONG and they have to revise and
rethink. They employ a mixture of high tech searching methods and ancient
artisan techniques for reproductions.
