A lot of people who do the stuff that you’ve mentioned have jobs. Well not jobs - just places people go to pretend to work. My mate for example works in a office and she’s always on Facebook. Sometimes she can get away with not doing work at all because she just has to make it look like she’s working when in reality she’s doing something else (facebooking) to make time go quicker so she can get home and go on Facebook at home as well.'"

Not to mention managing to pad out around 30% of The Star, The Express is still focussing on Diana, Madeleine and forrinners

You're not wrong!!

Good shout, should make it slightly more interesting!

You are Jeremy Clarkson and I claim my £5

No one I recognise so far - with the exception of the Giggs girl, who you could not call a 'celebrity' either?

Couldn't we have a national definition of celebrity? That way it could be tightly drawn and we could actually have people we've heard of on this type of programme; alternatively the definition could be liberally drawn and then eveyone who be under no illusion thaat the people are in fact non-entities.

Recognising Natasha Giggs but not Michael Madsen? You should be ashamed.

Didn't recognise either of them. Just turned over as Giggs was going in, so I heard the introduction!

Do yourself a favour and watch Reservoir Dogs. Brilliant film, which just happens to have Michael Madsen in it

lets hope no one annoys him and hes got a cut throat close by him, oh and no music either for him to dance to as he cuts away.............you dont want to be stuck in the middle with him!!

Unlike you who has a post count on here of 18,200 in 9 years?
someone else needs to get a life?

He would have a couple of thousand in the big crash at least

For years we couldn't receive Channel 5.
Even since we (finally) went digital, I still regard Channel 5 as the place where there is stuff I never want to see, so when Big Brother went there, it ceased to exist as far as I was concerned.
Not that I ever watched it for long when it was on Channel 4 (?) ... it was like finding yourself in a particular pub or house that you immediately knew to avoid in the future, so avoid it I did.

So, I'm out.

Oh dear. You missed the bit of my post where I said:
"Unlike us on these boards of course, which are a plainly wonderful and productive use of one's time", then, did you?

*gruff Scottish voice*
"Just so you know, I won't waste anae more of your time, I'm oot as well"

You said nothing of the kind

He's got to say something when smacked in the gob by his own irony hasn't he?

"Aah wish you every success lovey, but aahm owt as well."

He did.

How stupid do you feel now?

I don't feel stupid at all.
Tricked maybe.
If you want to play silly games, feel free ... but people like to see what you've written or at least have an inkling that you have written something in addition that is immediately visible.
Not hidden or partially hidden in some way.
Still if it bloats your ego ... well done.
I'll press quote for all your posts from now on then shall I, just in case?

I doubt that. Though I don't discount it.


"Tricked"? Idiot. How can I trick you, when I would have no clue you would even read it, let alone reply?




I thought that the comments I made were plainly obvious irony, and am sure most "got it". If you hadn't been so keen to jump down my throat with some perceived chance of derisively scoring some point, I'm sure you'd have got it too, but hey ho.

It would spoil the OP to end it with an explanatory nudge for the stupid or the exciteable, and the sole reason I added an invisible one was just because it's tiresome when the occasional axe-grinder nevertheless misses the irony, in their rush to score what they gleefully believe to be a clever point, and subsequently equally tiresomely (but sadly predictably) maintains that it was never intended as ironic in the first place. A precaution, if you like.




Do you whatever you like old boy, but perhaps it might be wise to just do that before casting smart-ass barbs like you thought you did in my direction:-

You showed yourself up. Deal with it.

I went on what you wrote that was visible. Why wouldn't I?, I wasn't alone.
You don't usually do comedy or irony ... my mistake.
And I have dealt with it.

You were. Unless you're counting "Rommel", I suppose.
It was plainly ironic, but I won't labour the point.




I very frequently do, although tbf I major in sarcasm.


Good man. That's the spirit.

So does that mean we are friends again?
