Okay, this is a game, we're going to list the ways that you know you're obsessed with GW... for example:
YOU KNOW YOU'RE OBSESSED WHEN:
1. you watch the friday show, the saturday repeat, and both the sunday repeats.
4. you find yourself desperate to work in a hospital as a head of human resources/consultant radiologist/staff liasons officer/anaesthetist/surgeon/junior surgical registrar/junior doctor, despite a total lack of medical experience, knowledge or training.
__________________________________________
it just seems like destiny is agin us..
That's probably 100% more than the head of human resources/consultant radiologist/staff liasons officer/anaesthetist/surgeon/junior surgical registrar/junior doctor in the Green Wing.
5. you will tape the episode on a friday whilst watching it, watch it saturday and then all the repeats and then watch the taped one again.
I have seen Fridays episode 6 times already!!!
you dream that you are actually a member of the hospital or the cast and Mac is actually in love with you not Caroline!!!
lol! I sort of had a similar dream this morning, I sort of was Caroline! Really weird, and apparently Mac did some volunteer work at a homeless hostel, with no homeless people! And this weird laundry lady, but at least she told me Mac's the One!
“You must know – surely you must know that it was all for you… I would have to tell you, you have bewitched me body and soul and I love and love and love you. And never wish to be parted from you from this day forward.” TWA

I dreamt Sue White was a witch... *shrugs* Figures. And I dreamt I made Sims of GW characters - which I might do (coz I'm an obsessed freak), but the relationships thing would be far too complicated!
***
Start Wearing Purple!
you know all the words off by heart
shareYou catch the last episode of Series 1 and so rent out the DVD and spend 9 straight hours of back to back watching of the episodes to "catch up".
shareStephen Mangan appears in your dreams three nights running (I'm not joking) and you can't revise because you're too busy wondering what could possibly be wrong with Mac. Seriously, what on earth could his test results have shown??!
xx
Stephen Mangan appears in your dreams three nights running (I'm not joking)
You start walking in slow motion when you turn corners.
Lola: I'd throw you into the ocean....Shock therapy
you start walking like Caroline... =|
"I Don't Like Your God. Your God Scares Me!"
[deleted]
you have the urge to ask people you fancy "what's a proper kiss?" in the hopes that they will do a Mac and kiss you...
sharewhen people insult you and you cant think of an insult back or they dare you to do something nd you really dont want to so you start stuttering about alan statham. yes well i, that might be....hmm yessss.
and you keep saying bloody
Do you know what I like about you?
*beep* All
when you suddenly have the urge to purchase a lion cub and pass it off as your own child...
shareYou cannot hear "Bright Eyes" without thinking of the Guy version!
My greatest fear is that there is no PMT and this is just my personality
When was Guy's version of "bright eyes"?
When you feel deprived if you haven't had your green wing "fix" that day.
xx
Guys version of Bright Eyes was when he was singing to mac and caroline with his keybored. You've got a ginger child etc etc.
I may be dead but i'm still pretty
When you are being cuttingly, yet wittly at the same time, sarcastic to someone and realise you are copying mannerisms of a certain GW character, very embarrasing!
shareWhen you start pronouncing your P's and T's louder.
And I dreamt of Stephen Mangan!
Keanu was my first choice, but he was'nt available on my wedding day
do...you live inside me and my friends heads?lol!!!
cos we SERIOUSLY go out, spot hot lads and dare each other to do it.
we even decided that we'd know we'd found some one special when he found a way to steer the conversation so we could say 'whats a proper kiss'
!!!
hehee!!
and sorry, without reading all the rest, you know you're obsessed when you walk down long corridors, turn a corner, and you and your friend break into parallel cartwheels.
also you put a cardboard jesus head on a stick and hold it up to windows....we've done that drunk.it kinda scared people more than anythin
but it was fun.
also, you consider letting boys get away with some of the lines only Boyce can get away with (if you can stand up after this i'll you put my hand in your pants)
I never have...it'd have to be boyce, lol!
'You should be careful what you say...Damn is more than just a word'
you know you're obsessed when
1. you spend all the time you're not watching GW on the intenet talking about GW
2. You've exhausted all the challenges on the 'secret cult of green wingers' website.
3. you've started dancing every time you hear a mobile phone ring
4. you made muffins with little paper wings for the last episode (of course i wouldn't do something as tragic as that...)
5. your friends don't even roll their eyes anymore when you quote GW a million times a day
6. you've gained an injury from asking people if they wanna borrow your prozzie
7. you've been asked by a boss/friend/teacher to remove your topmeiler
8. you wore black the day after Mac died
9. you want to read at Warwick just in case Julian Rhind-Tutt comes back for a visit...
10. you've started to call everyone 'my sexy darling'.
you can't hear "back for good" without thinking of JRT
shareWhat's the "secret cult of greenwingers" website? I haven't found that one yet!! The challenges could give me a task for when I'm suddenly struck with the feeling of having nothing to do after exams have finished!! (Except watch greenwing, of course, but I could do with a bit of variation!)
You know you're obsessed when
You start planning a trip to London. Just in case they're doing another signing which you haven't heard about.
(lol. I didn't find out about the last one - how did everyone else know about it?!)
xx
Yes please tell us what the "secret cult of greenwingers" website is. It will help my mourning for Mac and compensate slightly towards my feeling of loss when GW isn't shown on Friday night, 9pm, Channel 4.........*sigh*
shareYou know you're obsessed when you write "I love you" on the mirror after you take a shower and then have to hastily rub it off so no one thinks you're insane.
share.....you have a dream about the last episode of Green Wing and are really disappointed when you wake up and realise that you have another 7 months.
P.S In my dream Mac didnt die and it didnt really make sense as I was a shopkeeper and Mac was quite old.....and wearing sunglasses....and then he won a race by accidently riding on a herd of bulls. (His prize was a "coronation tin")
I think I'm going crazy.
*Vengefully* I'll put on my tu-tu.
- You bought the DVD of Series One a month ago and haven't removed it from your DVD player since
- Whenever anyone asks you do anything, no matter what it is or who they are, you reply with "I am not your slave! I am sick of you people taking advantage of me just because I don't have any breasts!" (probably just me)
- You get strange urges to buy extendable arms, cartwheel down corridors, stab people with scalpels or drive mobile homes over cliffs
- You hang around station platforms hoping Guy with walk out of the steam
You can't stop humming the song from the series 2 teaster adverts (yes i am doing that :P)
Lola: I'd throw you into the ocean....Shock therapy
When you see a travel guide for Switzerland, you look up "Nazi gold" in the index. And there is an entry.
shareYou've looked on Ebay for a shark fin.
share... you want to buy a cello for £30.
... you've looked for one of those flashing signs that Sue White had.
... you tried to organise a beach party on your parking space.
... if you have to ride in the back of a car, you pretend the driver is your chauffeur.
...you tried to rename your cats Mac and Guy (one is "fraise-blond" and the other is black)
*Vengefully* I'll put on my tu-tu.
...instead of saying 'no' to any given question, you yell 'I DON'T THINK SO' in a Scottish/Sue White accent.
...when you phone your best friend in hysterics, screaming 'Mac might be dying!!', she doesn't even ask who you're talking about.
...you watch Green Wing on Friday nights and Saturday nights, and tape it.
Either we're under attack... or we're having a disco.
... you dream that you work in a hospital, and Mac is your boyfriend (I'd have been just as happy with Guy, but if that's what my subconscious wants ...)
share...you see a chocolate bar that is called a "caramac" and smile
*Vengefully* I'll put on my tu-tu.
Your an American fan who only has reruns on tape and BBCAmerican, Season 1 not available in region 1 DVD. You only have seen any bits of Season 2 on Youtube and try in vain to figure out what the H*** is going on not knowing when the entire episode will ever be shown here.
share-When you can recite complete scenes and wish you had someone to play to other person.. (In my case Guy - sorry all you Caro/Macs!)
-When you walk down corridors and suddenly start hopping, skipping etc
-Whenever you sit at a desk you go "Have I got any meetings today?"
-When your msn name/picture/personal message all relate to Green Wing..
-When your msn name/picture/personal message all relate to Green Wing.lol! I currently, have this as my display picture. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v359/wh1teroses/maclives.png
...you see a chocolate bar that is called a "caramac" and smile
or when you see a ginger person and start humming "you've got a ginger chiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiild" to yourself !!!!
sharewhen, on your myspace, under your "heroes" there is a picture of sue white.
share... you find yourself stuttering and saying "bloody" a lot.
... you keep constantly humming the little "la di da di da" tune that accompanies the "proper kiss" scene.
... you resist the urge to call someone in a wheelchair "wheelie".
... you try to see if you hand goes magnetic in a full moon.
... you scour the office accessories catalogue to find a moving sign that you can put *beep* off" on.
... you can only watch the second series up to the point where Mac sends Caroline the train.
... you now officially wear black because you are in mourning.
My greatest fear is that there is no PMT and this is just my personality
...you have an x-ray done and say it looks like the chest of a twelve year old boy to your doc.
...you have a problem pronouncing the word knob.
...you laugh out loud during the Lion King in front of young family members.
Hendo: Fly true, you silver darts of fury!
When your walking around the office you play green wing music in your head.
When you make a rude joke you follow it by dum dum dum dum dudda da. (the sound guys organ makes)
You tell people about the spoon of destiny and really hope they want to play game of it.
When in a argument you really have to stop yourself talking like Alan.
When people put down a big pile of elastic bands and say it looks like spaghetti you have the urge to put it on there head and call them a pastafarian.
You check everyday that there might be another Channel four web site live talk with someone from GW.
I may be dead but i'm still pretty
You tell people about the spoon of destiny and really hope they want to play game of it.Sooo true! lol!
haha, my msn sign in name at the moment is "are you ready to play The Spoon Of Destiny?"!! Sadly no-one's taken me up on the challenge yet!
xx
Mac: Even someone who has died and has already been cremated would be fully aware that I am better at this than you.
You go through Guy and Mac's lists of top five qualities in a woman to see how many you score and get pissed off when it's not five (even if it means you're not slightly anorexic, among other things).
sharelol! My personal message is:
Oh, look! You've got some keys in your head.
You know you're obsessed when you're planning on setting up a Guyball society at your uni. And you've already argued with people about which version of rules are closest to those on the show!
xx
And there are no hedgehogs.
You know you're obsessed when...
You end every phonecall with 'See you in Zurich'
You routinely stab boiled eggs with swiss army knives
Your site address is 'green-winged'
You've done shots of undiluted orange squash
You've used your school/work canteen heater as a sunbed
You have a long pair of fake arms
Your friends don't even ask when you routinely talk about 'the lion's mane'
Your msn name the day after Mac got told he was dying was:
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
And nobody even questioned it because they'd all seen it too.
... when you realise that everything that everyones said, youve don and more besides!!
... you have a urge to put up a lost yoghurt sign for martin in you school/work/college
...when you have your flies undone,someone notices, and when you reply thats perfectly normal, they think youve lost your marbles!!!
.....you can quote the an entire episode of green wing by heart without looking
.... you quote out of green wing at every moment you can.
.... you have the urge to go up to a scottish person and say "are you blind as well as scottish" and walk off
.....you ant listen to your song or watch moulin rouge without thinking of that car scene with guy and caroline
..... you think that when you quoite green wing everyone should have seen the show and know what your talking about, when they dont you get upset and say why the hell not!
.... the answer to everything is.. do you know what i like about that/it/you/your mum etc? *beep* all!!!
... you are desperate to know what mac's first name is!!
i cant think of many more than that + what evryone else has said!!!
Join me again next week on let's make no *beep* sense at all when I'll be waxing an owl!!
...you respond to a green wing thread saying 'you know you're obsessed when'
I'm not going back there, big bitches
whenever u see a handbag, u cant help but say "A HANNNNNDDDDBBBBBBBAAAAAGG?!" in the same accent as sue white. then all the people/dogs in the shop/room give you really strange looks
It's so stimulating being your hat
You go to see the Da Vinci Code and you get excited everytime someone mentions Zurich because they might "see" Guy there.
You (and your family) start wearing hospital scrubs around the house and swearing even more creatively than usual.....
I wanted to talk to you about earlier... Who?
When you can walk into pretty much any room in your house and within 10 seconds hear a quote from GW or see an episode of GW playing on a laptop or on television!
The realm of the normal is vastly over-rated
When u write a message on here!x
shareThat shows us that there are alot of people obsessed with ultimately the best programme british comedy has to offer (in my opinion)!
.....when everything you do in life is in someway green wing related. in fact your whole life revolves around caroline, mac, guy, sue, martin, alan, boyce, rachel, kim, joanna, harriet and karen.
Join me again next week on let's make no *beep* sense at all when I'll be waxing an owl!!
When you eat coffee to see if it's a bad as Guy makes out (which, by the way, it completely isn't).
shareOoo ooo! I thought of another one!
When sombody gets burnt you immediatly suggest that they first pour orange squash all over their hand then put it in flour...
"Give Sue White all the money!"..."Go on give her the money. Give her the money!"
You know you're obsessed when you try toasting your hand to see how much it hurts....
Or you find that you are so well informed on the rules of Guyball, that you cannot resist retaliating in Guyball terms when any footie bore does a World Cup on you....
Or you start to speculate about starting a fashion for undone flies at 'this time of year'....
Or you find yourself worrying about your parking space and what will happen if you find you have to "nudge" anyone gently out of the way....
Or you listen to a totally unconnected radio programme featuring Oliver Chris in the forlorn hope that he'll start making smart-arse remarks in an attempt to get a rise out of the other cast members...
...Let me brush your teeth...
When you see some one tall you have to fight the urge to call them a vertical streak of spaghetti/farfallini boy etc...
You ask everyone you know if they watch Green Wing and if they reply no then you shout at them and tell them they have to...
Whenever you hear somebody say ginger you can't help shouting fraise-blonde at them...
Whenever you see someone putting on mascara you cant help thinking of Hitler...
You shout HAIR! whenever you see a guy with slightly longer hair than is regular...
"Give Sue White all the money!"..."Go on give her the money. Give her all the money!"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"You ask everyone you know if they watch Green Wing and if they reply no then you shout at them and tell them they have to..."
"Whenever you hear somebody say ginger you can't help shouting fraise-blonde at them..."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Oh dear - I totally do this - the fraise-blonde bit especially!
We want roomies! We want roomies!
...you see this thread as a checklist
I'll see you in Zurich
Oh dear... hmm maybe I should stop getting ideas from this thread...
"Give Sue White all the money!"..."Go on give her the money. Give her all the money!"
Every time you hear "Valerie" by the Zutons you think of Guy and laugh to yourself, prompting odd looks from those around you.
shareHAHA my gosh that was EXACTLY what I did! My friend and I were sniggering right through.
Looks like breakfast, smells like your auntie!share
YOU KNOW YOU'RE OBSESSED WHEN:
You pour boiling coffee down a funnel into a tube leading into your anus :D
[deleted]
Every time you see an ambulance, you check to see if Guy is at the wheel.
shareWhen you hear say something, relating to kitchens or witches or anything you reciting Martin's Yo-yo tricks...
Smell the witch, rearange the kitchen, count the ants...
Can I just say that I have no idea what you're talking about.
[deleted]
[deleted]
I know what you mean - I offered to lend a friend my S1 boxset and now I feel bad about it. GW is mine!
Another way you know when you're obsessed: you react oddly when you hear the word "Zurich". When I was at a restaurant today, the owner said that they recently had a man in there who was from Zurich, and I nearly stabbed myself in the mouth with my fork in shock.
I am a strange person.
when you spend an entire day convincing your friend that mac and caroline are meant to be together, even though she doesn't watch green wing.
shareyou hear someone say "afternoon" in a scottish accent, and then proceed to say
"Have ah got aaaannyy meeeetttinggss thisss affffterrrnoooon? Ah sseddd have ah got aaaannyy meeeetttinggss thisss affffterrrnoooon?"
in a very overpronounced Scottish accent!
"I've never seen purple underwear before."
when you spend an entire day convincing your friend that mac and caroline are meant to be together, even though she doesn't watch green wing.
I do that. My friend doesn't wath Green WIng but she's followed the story of Mac and Caroline in series 2 thorugh me!
All the best, love God
You can't listen to "Can't Get You Out of My Head" without hearing Sue White's version, or "Your Song" without hearing Guy's.
share1. You hated the fact you didn't live in the UK and spent every weekend haunting torrent websites so you could download each episode.
2. You'd sit around and wait for the torrent to finish downloading, then HAVE to watch the episode, even if it is 2am.
3. You've made over 200 Green Wing-related icons on LiveJournal.
4. You force all your friends to watch Green Wing clips on YouTube, or make copies of the episodes so they'll watch it.
5. You walk around saying "FUNKEH" all the time.
6. You sing Statham's alphabet song. (A is for appendectomy, B is for barium...)
7. When you screencap the episodes you do so many that when you go through the gallery it's like watching the whole episode without the audio.
8. When your mother hears you scream in your room she doesn't even panic anymore because she knows you're just watching either the "proper kiss" scene or the "Mac's test results" scene.
9. You're saving up to buy the DVD sets even though you already have the torrents.
10. Your phone alarm used to be the Green Wing theme song.
11. You added the MySpace Guyball group as your friend, and take the rules very seriously.
12. You changed the name of your lipbalm from Carmex to Carmac.
13. You can't bear to look at the biscuit packet because it says Gingernuts.
Looks like breakfast, smells like your auntie!share
