Good morning to you all.
Speaking as the villain of /OT, professional old person and purveyor of fine unpleasantness since 1854, I ask you to name the heroes of the modern age.

I nominate fat-tongued mockney imbecile Jamie Oliver for his school meals drive and for staffing Fifteen with society's rejects - we've done this one before, yes - and terminal dullard Bill Gates for his charitable donations. Who else is a Good Thing in these dark times?

Also done before but RIP Smiley Culture - you were a fucking GENIUS.

Ah, Carol Smillie (that's how it's spelt). She took over from "the lovely Angela" as letter-turning eye-candy on Wheel of Fortune after one series.
I know this because my Dad was on series one, winning a car, an answerphone (this was 1988), a set of pots and pans which my parents still use and a trip to Alton Towers. Which sort of makes my £2,610 look a bit paltry.

Now bear in mind that this was the late '80s when this car was new and relatively sparkly,
and yet to be forever tainted by the indelible stain of chav "culture".

Vauxhall Nova

I had a Nova, fucking great little motor
until I locked the keys in it and tried to get in via the sunroof. While trying to prise one of the plastic bolt covers off with a screwdriver the sunroof shattered into a trillion tiny shards of pointy arse-puncturing glass. After searching breaker's yards high and low for a replacement I ended up fitting a marine-plywood replacement, which eventually curved up at the edges adding a noticeable proportion of downforce.

I passed Ian Hislop on a flight of stairs at my old school once
Our debating society had arranged for him to be a guest speaker and tickets were like gold dust. As one of the organisers I had a front-row seat and was very excited. Obviously that day I developed the most painful eye infection of my life to date and had to go to hospital to have my eyeball scraped.

He's very short.

but as soon as I drifted away from classic metal (ie when Metallica disappeared and resurfaced with the execrable Load album) I stopped listening to them too. Your assesment in the bottom line of this post chimes exactly with how I feel about them.

Noah and the Whale are "a bit different"
It doesn't make them good. SOAD seem to believe that an excess of infuriating zaniness can make up for a lack of decent tunes.

I will have to concede that the only time I've seen them live was back in '98 supporting Slayer and Sepultura, they were certainly not yet in their stride and the whole crowd badly wanted them to fuck off and make way for the headliners.

It wasn't bad. Then I heard the album. Fucking dreary shite. Would never have even considered going if I'd heard them before I saw them.

Footballers Jamie Carragher, for making Nani cry and Dirk Kuyt, for giving 1/3 of every wage packet to charity.

Author Stephenie Meyer, for attempting to reinvent a genre, and not doing too bad a job of it.

Vincent K McMahon, for revolutionising an entire sport, and proving that being a complete bastard can make you obscene amounts of money.

And my Dad, for raising us kids alone for 8 years, during which we went through several severe money issues, he managed to keep us fed and clothed.

There are a few of them about.
Raymond Blanc has the genial frenchman vibe going. The Roux family seem like decent sorts. The older ones at least.

I have a particular dislike for Marco Pierre White for some reason.

My brother managed the installation of Roux Jr's kitchen at home.
Despite being an even bigger racist than me, he declared Roux to be a sound fellow.

it's quite nice to hear that your impression of someone is accurate
particularly when it is a positive impression

He's not skinny
But I haven't seen him for a while as he's down on the South Coast when he's not out in the sub.

Did you know that none of our subs were working a year or so ago? They were all either drydocked or run aground somewhere. Strangely, I don't remember us being invaded at all.
