I was forced to watch 'Get Him To The Greek' last night
I don't dislike Russell Brand nearly as much as I thought I did. On the other hand, I feel vaguely sort of soiled for liking him at all.

Yeah, he's an odd one
I have watched 2 of his stand up shows on tv, the first one was quite funny but the second one was just him trying to justify why he bombed hosting an award ceremony in America and trying to laugh off the Andrew Sachs thing.

I quite liked that one,
I thought he was pretty funny. And the Andrew Sachs thing was kind of blown out of proportion.

I hate it when the media call it Sachsgate. In fact, I hate anything 'gate'.

I just felt that he was more interested in having the last word than actually trying to be funny

( Colonel Dracula Two manky hookers and a racist dwarf, Thu 15 Jul 2010, 10:28, Reply)

yeah that's true
they do bring it up on every chat show possible, especially when they're together, it's pretty annoying. Although I'm glad Ross's career is dying, I fucking hate him. Who the hell thought it was a good idea to employ someone with a speech impediment to be a presenter?!

I'm sure his millions will soothe the pain of losing his place at the BBC

Yes, that irks me
as well. Possibly the only thing that irks me more is the ridiculous contraction/amalgamation of names: Brangelina, R-Pattz etc. I have to hurry past the gossip mags bit in WHSmith now because I know full well if I lingered I'd probably end up setting fire to the whole stand in rage.
(berk, Thu 15 Jul 2010, 10:28, Reply)

I hate the term Brangelina, and Brennifer
and Li-Lo.

I also hate that I don't know who most of the people on the front pages are, because they're some kind of reality tv loser.

Why would you hate
not knowing who a bunch of Z-list freaks are? Surely that's something to be proud of?
(berk, Thu 15 Jul 2010, 10:39, Reply)

I worded it badly,
I hate that they're reported about, not that I don't know who they are. I pride myself on not knowing any of the big brother contestants. I was well pissed off with myself when I worked out who Kim Kardashian is.

If it helps, I could dislike him a bit more to offset your not disliking him.

(Cave Duck, Thu 15 Jul 2010, 10:21, Reply)

I wouldn't go that far
it's more that I swung from zealous hatred to a distasteful sort of ambivalence.

My dislike for him
is only exceeded by his love of himself.

You can't expect the low-brow eyebrow of the masses

but the pure power behind the People's Eyebrow
would leave Roger "I can't fucking act for shit" Moore's eyebrow crawling up his nose in fear.
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Thu 15 Jul 2010, 11:10, Reply)

But this is why Moore can't act for shit...
All the power, wisdom and ability of one English gentleman has been artfully compressed into one mighty eyebrow. This renders the rest of his body a useless husk, merely a structural support for the most magisterial of all eyebrows.

Edit: But have a click for the wonderful image of his eyebrow crawling up his nose

I just wondered
why, out of all the barnyard-type animals, or indeed all of the animals ever, you would choose one that a) probably wouldn't make a funny noise as you punched it and b) is quite capable of being pissed off at this treatment and breaking your nose. Or arm. Or leg.

I vote goose
having punched one, I can confirm they do make an amusing noise, especially if you get them mid-hiss.
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Thu 15 Jul 2010, 10:42, Reply)

I imagine them making
an amusing parp noise with a hint of squeaky dog toy. Please tell me this is true.
