Apart from that, Mrs Lincoln, did you enjoy the opera?
Sorry, I thought I was on Room 101 there for a minute.
I have no time to make a list but I do believe Derry Irvine is a very nice chap who’s pretty hopeless at playing the tabloid game – give him one land mine on a football pitch and he’ll find it. Genuinely well-meaning, though, and worth keeping around. Just MHO.
Someone not yet mentioned who I’d like to have a long, private chat with is Ian Brady, partner of the recently departed Ms Hindley.
Top three this week:
Paisley
Thatcher
And, if allowed, Archer. If not, Prince half-wit Edward, if only because he’s so up-his-arse annoying. Bald, dense, pompous prat. Thank you.
I’d like to nominate Chris Woodhead, master of the strawman argument.
Mind you, Thatcher was pretty good at this trick, too.
And for triviality, Catherine Zeta “a million is not much to us” Jones.
Most of the most worthy candidates have already been mentioned. May I just add that Tara Plonker Talkalot woman to the list.
She is intently, relentlessly irritating. She has no skill, talent, insight, intelligence or special experience to warrant her endless tedious media appearances. If she has ever done anyone or anyhting any good, this has yet tobe reported in the media. To describe her as flawlessly stupid would be an insult to stupid people. She has an opinion on everything but knowledge of nothing. I don’t know by what bizarre Faustian pact she is entitled to unlimited appearances on every light-entertanment show going, or what she is deemed to add to these shows, but as soon as I hear someone mention even the first syllbable of her name I hit the remote and change channels or switch off. Challenge me to ram butter up a porcupine’s arse with a red hot poker, or to find something appealing about this unbelievably stupid and irritating woman, and I’d opt for the butter in a trice. Can’t she just piss off somewhere and achieve the obscurity for which she was truly destined?
BTW, I jes’ love how Ant ‘n’ Dec count as one multi-headed organism – the world famous “Siamese Geordies”. Don’t these two ever do anything without the other one along?
Now that brought to mind a whole host of mental images I could have done without…
Anne is just a snotty, female version of Prince Philip.
Hey, there’s another one.
Prince Edward = Tim-nice-but-dim, without the niceness but with added niaivete.
I have to second Chris Woodhead with great enthusiasm.
A more patronising arrogant self-centred twat I have yet to encounter. His opinions are baseless, without knowledge, foundations or experience, this cunt demands respect of academics working in the most difficult circumstances and yet deems himself an authority in the intractable relentless problems that teachers have to face dayin and day out.
He is completely offensive to educational proffesionals the length and breadth of the UK and it’s clear that he has no background in education, or communication or cooperation.
Hee hee. Have you noticed that they always stand the same way – Ant on the left, Dec on the right? How sad is that?
As far as the tabloids go, while I loathe Richard Littlejohn, Piers Morgan and pretty much everyone else involved in the production of the Sun, Mirror, and News of the World, my vote for Tabloid Crew I’d Most Like to See Submersed in Liquid Shit are the producers of the Sunday Sport (although they probably wouldn’t notice, given their publication). I once saw a TV program about the SS, in which the Editor-in-Chief said something along the lines of:
Jeez, I don’t understand why the Founding Fathers left that one out of the US Constitution…:rolleyes:
Jimmy Saville
Isn’t he in prison or dead or something.
I’m amazed that there have been soi many nominations for poor Robbie Williams (who, whatever you think of him, is pretty harmless) and nobody’s mentioned the scummiest Briton of all:
KIM PHILBY!!!
Tara Pumpkin-Tumpkin has a very nice bum. This, I think, should ensure her removal from the top 10.
I’d like to second the suggestion of Rebekah Wade, for using the print press as a platform for inciting violence.
I can’t believe Piers Morgan isn’t on the list. I loathe him.
Oh, and Kelvin Mackenzie. Any bets on his lifespan if he was dropped in the centre circle at Anfield on match day?
If it’s the same man I’m thinking of (I think he’s called Graham Livesey or something like that) this would definitely be tongue in cheek. The Sunday Sport makes no attempt to be regarded as a serious newspaper.
Piers Morgan, on the other hand is a very unpleasant man and it’s very irritating to see him wheeled out to give his comments on “press freedom” or general subjects about which his opinion counts no more than that of the average man on the street.
I’m surprised that Prince Philip hasn’t been mentioned before. Now my view on him is that some of his words have been deliberately blown up out of all proportion by sanctimonious journalists with chips on their shoulders, but I’m in the minority. He could be a winner given the right publicity.
Some more: What about Eamonn Holmes? Has he lived here long enough to count as naturalised? And that drug smuggler (not Johnny Vaughan) whose name escapes me. Then there’s Richard Blackwood and Phil Collins (for being so childish about Brass Eye, although I didn’t like either of them anyway). I would say Paul Daniels, but I liked his programme when I was a kid, so I won’t. The writers of Cold Feet. I should also mention John Leslie while he’s still eligible.
Just one more: Ross Braun (horrible little Ferrari Formula 1 something or other).
Tony Livesey, I think. It was a great documentary.
