So the "have a go at Meghan M" brigade take over the thread. Just a matter of time, I guess.

Well no, to be fair it’s Attenborough thread.

The only way that story doesn’t make sense is if you have serious comprehension issues.

Let’s say I write ‘my cat has stopped using the litter tray’ but autocorrect changes cat to car. Would you seriously think that my Toyota has started using a litter tray or would you elicit a modicum of common sense?

DA may be wonderful or awful. I don’t know, I’ve never met him. It isn’t beyond the realms of possibility he is thoroughly decent but had an off day.

Didn't have a great encounter with Dec, Ant was charming though.

On the flip side, Rod Stewart is an absolute gentleman and his wife Penny is lovely.

Megan Markle, and I have met quite a few AAA listers through work. The majority are polite or say very little.

You KNOW we want more.

Surely you’re not that thick you can’t figure out from reading it that DH is a typo and should be DA. Of course you’re not that thick, you’re just being bitchy. Lovely!

It's better than telling a second hand story to denigrate someone which is obviously bollocks and doesn't make any sense, though.

Anneofwindypoplars · 23/10/2022 09:16

I’m not normally this rude but how slow are people?

DH was a typo and should have been DA. It makes perfect sense, unless you’re really stupid Confused

People are just being obtuse to call out the typo - however, looks as though it was in fact Richard Attenborough not David who is said ass.

Toomuchtrouble4me · 24/10/2022 09:15

VirginiaQ · 23/10/2022 08:52

Well Richard Attenborough was president of the RA so would make more sense it being him than David as a previous poster said. Although he died in 2014 so must be an old story.

Ah! Now YHAT makes sense.

Are you thinking of Alison Hammond from Big Brother/This Morning. I’m intrigued to know what she did to almost put you off politics 27 years ago!

I prefer “oh I’m sorry, do I need to speak to your carer instead?”

Show quote history

A friend who runs a popular establishment very loudly uses “excuse me everyone, can I have your assistance please, we’ve got a bloke over here who doesn’t know who he is…”

John Burton Race came to eat at a restaurant I worked in several times and was horrible to the staff. Rude, nasty man. This was shortly before his wife found out about his mistress and child and did a tell all in the press about his violent behaviour. I wasn’t in the least bit surprised.

Trinkethearth · 24/10/2022 09:06

My DH met David Attenburgh at a book signing. My DH was a teenager and couldn't afford to buy DAs book. But he had a comic on him. He waited in line and DA was lovely to him. He had a nice chat and he happily signed the comic, making up a witty comment related to it.

Fraaahnces · 24/10/2022 08:59

Also Pat Cash who very loudly announced that he didn’t want to be bothered by anyone when he boarded late at the front of the plane and the very, very young cabin crew member I was working with (different job) had no bloody idea who he was. He pulled a “Don’t you know who I am?” So she pointed out that his name was printed on his ticket. (That went down well.) Later during the flight while serving coffee another equally young cabin crew member said to me “I’ve looked everywhere for him, but I can’t see Pat Rafter anywhere!”
I said “Not Pat Rafter, Babe, Pat Cash.”…
“Oh, I’ve never heard of him. Who’s he?”
“He was a famous tennis player in the 80’s”
”Oh, no wonder I’ve never heard of him. I wasn’t born until 1985!”
Of course he was sitting on one side of the cart sliding lower and lower into his seat and his manager was sitting on the other side pissing himself.

I always think these threads are started by someone from the media.

Fraaahnces · 24/10/2022 08:51

Craig McLachlan. Wanker. The only shock anyone (with XX chromosomes) in the biz had when he was found guilty of sexual harrassment was that it took so fucking long. I can tell you he’s fucking talented, but he’s a creepy bellend and I made sure that I and anyone I knew were never alone with him and that didn’t even work.

Justjuniper · 24/10/2022 08:37

Or “possibly, if you used to do the night shift at Sainsburys.”
(No disparagement of said job, I did it for years!)

AskingQuestionsAllTheTime · 23/10/2022 21:14

I am convinced that the best reply to "Do you know who I am?" is still "No. Do you?"

I prefer “oh I’m sorry, do I need to speak to your carer instead?”

What about the fact that he was probably bombarded with requests from other schools wanting a letter for their website or whatever? I mean, he sent one to xxx so he'll surely send one to us.

I was on WWTBAM, too and agree with you about Tarrant!
William G Stewart from 15 to 1 on the other hand was a true gentleman. A really nice person.

In fairness, if the wee Scottish lady is who I think you mean, she very clearly said her TV persona was just that...she was playing the "character" as a theatrical artist! Grin and saving 1.2 million tax, by not being herself

Hahaha
the tv persona ‘Lorraine Kelly ‘

Considering what he's doing for the natural world I would understand why mere mortals wouldn't be allowed near him. I wouldn't be surprised if he wasn't super nice, he's posher than the queen and just as old, but seeing as his "partner" died 25 years ago I'm struggling to believe the OPs story actually happened.

ok we know you’re a fan but did we need the attack? 😝

Sounds true. I went out with someone whilst he was at Dartmouth College with PA. Apparently, he introduced himself to his midshipman colleagues on the course by instructing them to address him as “Sir” - they all thought he was very much up his own arse and disliked him intensely.

A friend's naval relative who served with him told my brother (who then told me) that his nickname was just "c**t".

He was detested.

It's the corgis I feel sorry for.

As a caravanner I meet people from everywhere - and I (more often than you may think) get into conversations about people's vicars.

I've met a few who knew/know Richard Coles, and he's universally adored.

I've also met a number (on different occasions - not all from the same group) who were in Kate Botley's congregation and none have a good word for her. According to everyone I've spoken to she's arrogant, entitled, pushy and very, very "ME,ME, ME".
