Here is a thread for all of those people or things that really grind your gears, whether it's a so called celeb, TV show or something inane that makes that vein at the side of your forehead throb. Get it off your chest here, it's OK, you're among friends. Relax and let it go. A nice easy one to start; Dermot F@cking O'Leary. Need I say more? How this fella manages to present/host mainstream tv and a radio show is beyond me. My little toe has more charisma. His voice is like nails down a blackboard and does someone write his stuff because if so, they clearly don't like him either. Tw@t. And breathe....that feels better. Over to you

I wouldn't want anyone thinking I'm prejudiced against the Irish or the working class ( why would anyone tink dat? ) but 'Mrs.Brown's Boys' has to be the worst tv show ever broadcast. Now it has it's own chat show with guests including Andy Murray's grandmother The mother of the mother of one of the dullest people on Earth. Michael Mosley, the Derek Nimmo soundalike who does those scaremongering health shows. He made millions writing a diet book that advocates fasting ( ie eating less ) as a way to lose weight A similar character I can't stand is Matt Allwright, the bloke who does those 'Rogue Traders' shows & now presents a daytime quiz show. Perhaps the worst tv presenter of the lot is Anna Richardson who has never knowingly presented a show that isn't dreadful. She currently hosts 'Naked Attraction', a show so desperate it needs to be seen to be believed.

A potentially explosive thread this one, but certainly a welcome one.
As I said earlier in the thread that got derailed, O'Leary is a source of wonderment.... at exactly how he made it to such prominence on the box.
The list of similar people is endless so I'll just throw a few into the discussion.
Russell Brand. Never mind "booky wook", more a case of scatty twat. James Corden. Far too much to say. Robbie "never mind the Mrs' contractions, listen to me sing" Williams.

I'm glad you brought up Mrs. Brown Arthur. I was going to mention it myself. What a load of crap.I can't stand it. He seems to have everyone in his family on the payroll. My wife loves him and went to his show a few years ago, but she said it was just a rehash of his TV show stuff. If I said this programme couldnt hold a candle up to Father Ted. That would be an understatement. As for Russel Brand, after that phone stunt he pulled on Andrew Sachs, someone should have took him down a dark alley and give give him a little lesson in manners. I've never seen him in a film or on TV performing though.

I'll be controversial & offer a much loved entertainer- Ken Dodd. My brother recently asked if I wanted to go & see him, 'no' I said to his surprise. His stage show lasts approx 5 hours, apparently one of the acts in between his stand up routine is a recorder player. He deserves respect for the ( probably unrivalled in showbiz ) hours he puts in, but I've never found him funny at all.
Many of the news presenters, people like Mike Embley, Rico Hizon, Jon Snow, Stephen Sackur, they all seem so sanctimonious & phony. Also Question Time & This Week after it, the same po faced politicians evading questions & offering safe soundbites with Dimbleby & Andrew Neill pretending to give them a hard time.

I've seen Ken Dodd a few times Arthur but obviously at touching ninety, he's well past his prime now. Maybe he will be the next one to snuff it during a live performence.
He was obviously better in the past. I think he was good on those Audience With... shows he did twenty five years back, that is if you hadn't heard some of the jokes before.

I think I saw Doddy in Blackpool many years ago as a child, I'm probably being harsh on him, especially at his age.

People that get on my thruppenies?
Where to start!
Those that get me are those using their 'fame' to become politically motivated:
Andy Murray: promotes Scottish Independence but lives in Surrey, bloody hypocrite!
Jamie Oliver: lobbied the government to bring in sugar tax, of course they'll follow any excuse for another tax but who the hell is he really doing this for? Self promotion and pampering to a nanny-state. Has it actually reduced peoples' intake of sugary drinks etc? I have my doubts.
Charlotte Church: Voice of an Angel once but voice of a confused and irrational fool now.
Russell Brand: words cannot express my disdain for this waste of space, and he's not in the slightest bit funny either. The sperm that conceived him should have been flushed away in a Kleenex.
Sam.
