All this talk of cooking has opened up that room in my brain where I had imprisoned some of the worst offenders:
Gordon Ramsay. He’s a cook. Okay he might be a good cook, he might be a bad cook, I neither know nor care. But cooking is about as difficult as lawnmowing and about as important. If artisans are to be lauded on prime time television, then lets give plumbers and electricians their fifteen minutes.
Hugh Fearnley ****
wit (I forget his actual name)<br>So you bought a house in the country, you grew some plants and you made some food. My aren’t you a clever boy.Jamie Oliver. One of only a handful of people who’s appearance on the television would induce me to dive full length across the living room to retrieve the remote control. No I don’t care what you think about school meals, I don’t want to hear your whiny Mockney accent anymore and no I don’t believe all those people are your friends.
Gary Rhodes. The most sinister man on television.
I could go on but I fear for my blood pressure
That’s right Aranalde – get it off your chest! <br>(Personally I enjoy Hugh Fearnley-Whatsisface, but agree with you on the rest.)
<br>Vanessa Feltz<br>Joe Pasquale<br>Hazel Irvine<br>Ulrika Jonsson<br>Mark Durden-Smith<br>John Inverdale
There’s another Barry type around…this time on Vanish for carpets adverts I believe….
Very loud of mouth and starey of eye…I was quite unnerved.
I don’t think these people are born. They’re moulded out of plastic and run off of things produced by Intel.
So much jealousy on this thread. We all know that so many of the people on this thread would give anything to be Vanessa Feltz or Davina McCall.:biggrin:
You know the bit I hate most about that carpet guy? When he lifts the carpet and says "Feels bad doesn’t it?" as if seeing my carpet is a tad dirty is going to give this poor housewife palpitations and leave her reaching instantly for the smelling salts. <br>Ain’t gonna happen! Sod the effing carpet!
<br>The ad that makes the whole family reach for the remote every time is that ‘Picture’ ad where the guy’s being filmed talking to his bloody insurance company about football! Doesn’t that mans face just itch to be thumped?
I’d like to stand up for Jonathan Ross. Admittedly his chat show is pretty dire but I love his Radio 2 show and Film –. He is a passionate and knowledgeable man about film, music and certain book genre. I also think he is the funniest man to host an awards ceremony – I just think his chat show producers need to redirect his humour.
Totally agree about Davidson and Edmonds – the latter a total horror who should never have been allowed back on TV. His popular (why?) show is also desperately contrived.
I’d like to add my most hated celeb to the list – Bradley Walsh. Let’s hope that he gets to go on I’m A Celebrity so that he can be eaten by baby crocs….
Vintage paragraph on Ramsay from Aranalde. Made my morning. Entirely agree on the TV cook slagging and cooking in general.
Is Graham Norton still on TV? Plankton of Premier League status. As is that tosser dressed as Aladdin in the Macdonalds advert.
Have to disagree with top jumps guru, Grasshopper here on the subject of X-Factor. Not since "The Prisoner" have I watched every episode of something religiously, to the point where I stopped leaving the house.
Me and the lad were gutted when it ended, though the final was bloated and disappointing. Fantastic betting medium too. Over two million was matched on the outright winner and I reckon next year people will catch on to the risk possibilities.
Has anyone seen the new ‘Gillette Fusion’ Christmas ad?<br>Whoever scripted that ad needs a bullet between the eyes.<br>Is that meant to be two flatmates or father and son? I never met a father and son who look like a pairing from the cast of Knots Landing, so it must be two flatmates. Maybe Stephanie Beecham will walk in, in a cameo as the mother, in the sequal? Two bigger wakners, have I ever seen before? NOT.<br>Are these ads meant to inspire, or make you regurgitate your evening meal over your own lap? <br>Whoever was responsible for it has actually put me off of ever buying another Gillette razor again! LOL<br>

What’s wrong with Ant and Dec? I think they are great.
The people I can’t stand would include:
Clive Anderson<br>Vernon Kaye<br>Alan Davies<br>Eddie Izzard<br>Jimmy Carr<br>Steve Coogan<br>Harry Hill<br>Tony Slattery<br>David Walliams and that bald twat he works with

<br>Agreed. Ghastly man, even ghastlier politics.

<br>Quite well thought of in our household as well… and that was before his mum joined our pub quiz team a few weeks ago.
The Gillette Fusion ad is a work of Satan, I agree. "You helped him program his phone, helped him download his favourite tunes… but even you couldn’t stop him nodding and grinning inanely like a Churchill dog on crack", etc.

grays……..
Jim Davidson?
I bet you would laugh if you saw him live!
I guess he goes against the grain, but his anti pc and race subjects can be funny.
And heh! Its all about comedy.
<br> For the record.
I cant stand Paul O’grady or that other unfunny prat Graham Norton. Camp humour was funny in the 60’s. Get over it loves.
I’m sure there are others but for me it has to be…
Derek Acorah
The man gives me the shivers. Slimey nasty phoney tw*t.
I shall put in a good word for Davina McCall. I think she’s great, lightweight of course but so many are, and I think she handles Big Brother brilliantly, an association for which I think she is best known, therefore people’s animosity towards her suggests to me they watch Big Brother rather more than they care to admit, which makes me also question if it’s the show that bothers them more, rather than her.
Nope. It’s definitely her and not the show.

<br>Bunkum. Not his, not anybody’s.
<br>

<br>Is it? Davidson has forged an entire career remarkably untroubled and untainted by anything even remotely identifiable as comedic.
