I’m not talking about his writing style, but his physical appearance.
No matter when I’ve seen him he always has that "I haven’t bathed for 4 days" aura about him, and add to that a good measure of sleazy middle aged porn director.
I almost feel like I have to wipe the Tv screen down after he’s been on because of the grease/oil etc that has accumulated as a result of his being onscreen.
On Hannity and Colmes last night, Geraldo was on and both H&C were congratulating him on his latest marriage and one of them said, “I sure hope this one lasts.”
Probably all those years writing for the New Statesman. I guess they didn’t pay enough to cover dry cleaning.
There’s a particular kind of English intellectual. You can spot them a mile off. Generally, they’re sitting behind a large gin and tonic (go EASY on that tonic!). Their hair is much too long for its own good and looks as if it hasn’t been combed for a week or two. They sport casual-looking and very motheaten jackets bought at Marks & Spencer’s for about five quid several years ago. They wear jeans and Beatle boots. Nothing much has changed for them since 1971. Take a look at Christopher’s buddy, Martin Amis.
Apparently, some women respond to that dishevelled look. I find it about as up-to-the-moment as the hula hoop. Hopefully, their ideas are a little crisper than their shirts.
