Jimmy Dohertty

Has anyone mentioned him yet?

Why is he on television? It has to be the biggest example of "it's not what you know, it's who you know." I don't know who he knows, but how the fuck did it happen? He was a Phd biologist or something and decided to set up a pig farm. Fine. HOW COME THERE WAS A FILM CREW THERE FROM THE VERY START?????

There are thousands of young people with dreams. They either go for it, or they don't. What they don't have is the support of the BBC - not just free publicity, but publicity that they get paid for! Talk about second income streams.

Now he's a bleedin' crucader for causes - I didn't watch as it annoys me too much. Hello, BBBC? Stop paying this man and let him sink or swim on his own. We don't care.



I wonder what next week's question will be?

He's a big pal of Jamie Oliver who helped him set up the pig farm.
Hence the interest.

I knew there'd be someone like that
It doesn't make me feel better to know I was right either.

He knows Jamie Oliver
- I think he was at school with him, or something. He loaned him a bunch of cash to get his farm started in the first place. And helped to get him on telly, no doubt, since the talent vacuum is fairly obvious.

His girlfriend is quite attractive as well, though, so perhaps that helps.
