I would say toilet or loo and I'm from London. A posh person might say lavatory or bathroom, while a cockney chav would say bog or khazi. But yeah, toilet is the most common word for it.
I'm sorry I didn't see Gemma's latest vid. I have given up watching her, as I don't find her very entertaining. I'm just watching Bree and Daniel now. Go Jess!

Yes definitely a poor British Accent. I come from London, so I can tell you that for sure. Sounds more New Zealand than Aussie to me.
I don't think this Gemma character is doing LG15 any favours. She speaks nonsense, confuses the plot, and is really irritating. Now they have intoduced that clipped editing for her and she was trying to imitate Jessica Rose by doing little nods and shakes of the head.
She gets completely negative comments in her replies apart from a few people who say she is "hot". But, being hot isn't going to make a good actress.

Wanker is not a big deal in the UK.
It can used to describe someone who is slightly silly. Not at all on a par with the MF word. I know these things vary between countries but we must assume Gemma is using the London vernacular
I'd say as rough guide in the UK bad to worst: (out of 10)
Bloody/Crap 2 Shit 3 Wanker 4 Bastard 5 F word 7 MFer 8 C word 10
Having said that, it was the highlight of her latest waffle!
"Just keep doing what you're doing and you'll be fine? It's not your decison, it's your decison."
I can't see where Jackie Jandrell is going with this stuff. It's not enough to be pretty with large eyes and big cheeks. You have to act it, be convincing, and add to the drama.
What I found engaging about Jessica Rose was she sucked you in with the sincerity of her expression. She lived the moment. This Gemma may be more "attractive" according to some but I just can't believe a word she says.
I'm sorry if that goes across people's view because I have seen some people do like Gemma, but I'm just telling it as I see it.

I haven't watched Gemmers for a while. Saw this one kind of by accident and there's nothing to change my decision. Truly rubbish espec when she launched into ramblings on her boring date. It's not doing the series any favours.

I'm with gemma in the GGG club.
I'm not into LG15 greatly, so forgive me if this is obvious but how did this Jackie girl get the role? To all account she was friend of Jessica's in RL.
Her accent certainly isn't English. I come from London and I know. It was a mistake to try to do an English accent if she can't. They should just say she was from NZ living in London.
To me she is just hanging on Jessica's success. She can't act convincingly and she talks a load of rubbish. Some people on the threads suggested to turn the sound off on her videos and I found this worked! If was more enjoyable to watch her face than listen to her gems(?) of wisdom.
I think this is because she is attractive but not adding much to the plot. To me, this one line sums her up.

I haven't found any of the spin offs or indeed canons much fun. Both Gemmers and Nikki Bower are simply annoying.
The success of LG15 must rest falrly and squarely with Jess Rose. She was a dream casting for the role. Basically the series is about her and her character. I know some of you love to speculate or theorise on the various clues to the plot in different places. That's fine to have fun doing it, but I can't see that it leads anywhere.
Because, the writers seem happy to take it "wherever" with little regard to logic or previous "clues". All that speculation about Crowley and Thelema dashed when we were told it wasn't Thelema or indeed any religion. And I laugh at the speculation on the significance of longitude. Since every place has a longitude, it could anything or nothing.
For me, I'm just enjoying Jess Rose's performances and ignoring all of these other hanger-on sub characters.

Jackie's latest video was better than the others. But I really think she would be better off going and doing her own thing on You Tube. She's been kind of shoe horned in at a late stage and it just seems clumsy to me. I also reckon she is half the actress that Jessica Rose is.

The chat was a bum idea anyway. There's no way you can get 50+ users in a room without it being chaos. The best idea would be to have a chat with perhaps 30 randomly selected fans, and the main characters. That could be conducted on an existing network like SPINchat or IRC in apssword protected/hidden room and the transcript posted for the other fans. Or, the "chat" could be conducted in threads on a message board like this one, but the forum protected so only the characters (mod status) and users with over a certain number of posts can reply to limit the chaos. That way everyone could watch by refreshing the threads and existing technology used.
To ask somebody to set up a chat system in that time for those numbers was lunacy and shows a total internet/computer naivety on the part of the creators.

Yes agreed, loyal viewership much lower.
Website owners often like to inflate their status by quoting hits excluding uniques or "views" or membership.
Take this site. One could say it had 600 members but the active partcipation is probably closer to 50 members. Also the number of read to post hits here is a telling statistic. People are reloading just to see the latest comments and this applies to You Tube vids too. They will come back to see the latest comments and then hit "view all comments" Without even watching the vid again, this adds another "view".

I would say Bree has a viewership of only 80,000-100,000 allowing for multiple watches and reloads, loads but didn't watch, or partial loads you can probably divide her "views" by two or three to get her audience.

Well I don't hate Nikki Bower or anyone else. I just think her reports are rubbish. I've seen her stuff, and I justified that stance. It's an opinion and I am going to express it. As I said in my original post, some people are going to like Nikki's stuff and I'm cool with that.
If the whole board was like "Jess is great, Daniel is great, Gemmers is great, Nikki is great" it would be a very boring board.
Also, one doesn't have to be into the LG subplots to the nth degree to have a valied opinion. People watch stuff and they form an opinion. And just because it may be creator lead material, it doesn't mean to say it is good. The creators are human and they make mistakes. They are subject to commercial pressures. They are subject to various people nagging them "can we do this/that fringe material" every day of the week.
So there you go. We can't like everything we see all of the time. If we don't like something, I can't see any reason to keep that opinion to ourselves so long as it is reasonably expresed.

Nikki Bower is just so much rubbish.
Standing in some field and telling us that this is where it happened. "Umm yes Nikki... if you say so.... so what if it did?"
Can you do quality acting like Jess Rose? ... No Can you add anything to the show?...No Are you a useless hanger on like Gemmers19?...Yes
It's fair enough to produce vids for people wanting additional LG15 material and no doubt some will enjoy watching, but for me her stuff is a waste of time.

I don't see whay there is bad feeling towards Mr Smith. We don't know any of the hard facts, so how can we possibly make judgements?
Welcome to the forum by the way JSmith.

I'll let Gemma speak for Manchester, but I've been to Sunderland quite a bit. It's a little bleak in places like most cities, and it wouldn't be top of my list of decent places in England, but if you like soccer, clubbing, drinking, and shopping you should be OK.
