QUIZ: Who said it... Glenroe or Fifty Shades of Grey?

Family farm or room of pain?

MARY McEVOY

ON THE FACE of it, Glenroe and Fifty Shades of Grey might not appear to have much in common.

But we’ve discovered that sometimes the two are more alike than you’d think…

Can you tell your ‘Holy Gods’ from your ‘laters baby’?

Take this quiz to find out.

"As far as I can see, you were having a lot more than your dinner"
Glenroe
50 Shades of Grey
“You should steer clear of me.”
Glenroe
50 Shades of Grey
“It means I want you to willingly surrender yourself to me, in all things.”
50 Shades of Grey
Glenroe
“When the chance comes, you have to take it… with both hands.”
Glenroe
50 Shades of Grey
“I never thought that was something you craved.” “It wasn’t - that’s the whole point.”
50 Shades of Grey
Glenroe
“I’ve never wanted more, until I met you.”
50 Shades of Grey
Glenroe
“I did it because I loved you and I didn’t want to lose you.” “Love, after what you’ve done? You don’t know the meaning of love”
Glenroe
50 Shades of Grey
“If I were you, I'd take him literally. That might help.”
50 Shades of Grey
Glenroe
“He said: ‘I suppose a **** is out of the question’.”
50 Shades of Grey
Glenroe
“Why don't you like me?" "Because you never stay with me.”

    10 out of 12. Considering I haven’t read or seen 50 Shades, I can only assume my mind has been warped by glenroe

    Hmmm I got 12 out of 12 and I’ve never read it either. That must make me the biggest Glenroe fan ever – even though I only vaguely remember ever watching it – I was more of “Fwck, Me Homework!!!” sort if a gal.

    Ah jaysus…i remember my mum getting us all ready for bed early..and trying to convince us to get to bed early because something was going to happen in Glenroe tonight!!! I was allowed to stay up but was asked to get the biscuits when the roll in the hay moment started and I watched through the crack in the door. Not only an eye opener for me…my Mum and Dad were gobsmacked it was on tv…a great moment I will cherish

    You missed a great line

    Don’t touch me Dick

    but where was it from. Glenroe or 50 shades.

    Bonus points if you know which character said it.
