Prescience Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 The modern instant media have made a very lucrative business from promoting people to celebrity status all too often who have become famous: for being famous! There is little if anything else to commend them. As the current thread on the Dragon's Den oik Duncan Bannatyne seems to indicate, few like or respect him and are extremely dubious about his real business smarts. For me, despising these media-elevated people can be expressed rather simply: I would gain much self-satisfaction by smashing them square in the mouth! And I am anything but violent and physically aggressive: quite the reverse in fact! So who inspires you to want to smash them in the mouth or place your foot square in the epicentre of the TV screen? Godron and Darling Darling and the rest of their tawdry gang of gypsies, rogues and thieves excepted in this thread, 'cos they are a given!

Guest absolutezero Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 The public sector workforce, including traffic wardens. Was going to say I wonder how long "public sector" was going to take to make an appearance. How long before "Gordon Brown"? Yes. HPC is turning into a parody of itself.

Does not compute..... Well it was Gerry Adams & Martin McGuinnes but they have had the decency to hide away so until this thread they hadn't crossed my mind for ages. These days... Those muslim preachers who hate everything about Britain yet are happy to live here collecting benefits. Hook and Trevor. No idea what their real names are and neither do I care. And, but can't really explain why: Martin Bell and Emily Matiss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Masked Tulip Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 Close your eyes, imagine yourself on a beach, imagine there is a rowing boat on the shoreline. Put all the people and things you hate in that rowing boat. Push it out into the ocean. Visualise it disappearing over the horizon. Let it go.

I'd happily pull the trigger on her. Jack Tweed Piers Morgan. (although I read his books) Anyone that's ever had anything to do with BigBrother. That'll do.

Guest tbatst2000 Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 Anyone with a jet-ski. Immensely noisy, annoying, dangerous (to other people). pointless floating chav-mobiles. First up against the wall for sure. All BMW drivers in the UK (other countries don't seem to be afflicted). Think about it, when was the last time you got let out of a junction by a BMW driver? Harriet Harman, Jacboot Smith, Jack Straw, Charles Clarke, Tony Blair and whole host of other NuLabour nazis. Oddly, I don't hate Gordon, I pity him, which I think is probably worse.

Guest theboltonfury Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 Why in god's name do you read his books? Some of the best telly I saw was when Ian Hislop ripped him another verbal ar5e hole on HIGNFY. His first one was very good when he was a paper editor. Honest answer, I don't know why I read the next 2. I'm going to try and find that clip on youtube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest theboltonfury Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 Here it is. Just watching part 1. truth is, I'm not a fan of Hislop either. Clever but always a bit conceited. Merton, on the other hand..... very funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
