Tim Dowling, for example, is a twat

..who writes moderately entertaining columns about his personal life in The Guardian. Yesterday's was about the perils of self-googling, and in particular of an episode of self-googling which returned the text 'Tim Dowling for example is a twat'

Where did he find that humbling line?? On mumsnet of course!

In the article he claims to have given up self-googling, but we know that isn't true, don't we.

Shall we give him a few more personal insights? I think he is less of a twat than Jon Ronson and he doesn't have a whiney voice.

Is he the gay pixie?

Evan Davies should be a twat but he defies the laws of twattery.

Ponders · 17/05/2009 20:21

Jamie is not, for example, a twat (unlike many many sleb chefs)

pointydog · 17/05/2009 20:19

No! Not Oliver, holy, hell's bells.

I'll just repeat what cherry said: "(Yes. I know. It is inappropriate - even wrong. But such are the mysteries of human desire.)"

Oh yes and I only realised Bono was a twat when he royally kissed Gwen Stefano's belly when she was pregnant at some awards thingamybobber. Twat.

pointydog · 17/05/2009 20:17

indeed, robinson. Big twat

cherryblossoms · 17/05/2009 20:17

Evan Davies, for example, is the the point where "twat" meets it anti-matter!!!!

Hands off my Evan.

(Yes. I know. It is inappropriate - even wrong. But such are the mysteries of human desire.)

Oh this thread is hilarious

Paul McCartney is uber twat-tastic. He gets forgiven as he is the nations sweetheart but he is still a twat.

Gordon Ramsay - defo twat.

Jamie Oliver - twat. With all his mockney mockney-ness.

Yes, Chiles too, but only on the One Show. He is ok on You've Been Fired.

Sharon Osbourne, for example, is a twat.

TheCrackFox · 17/05/2009 20:16

I read in the papers that Nicky Campbell is being replace by Anne Robinson.

Anne Robinson, for example, is a twat.

Ponders · 17/05/2009 20:15

And he does those awful posey stern photos for Watchdog (who are getting rid, aren't they?? Good news! )

stuffitlllama · 17/05/2009 20:14

thank you all

i can move on to Chiles now

BitOfFun · 17/05/2009 20:13

Oh yes, stuffit, you are quite right.

I can't believe that at the beginning of this thread I couldn't think of a single twat. Now I realize they are everywhere

stuffitlllama · 17/05/2009 20:13

thank you ponders

every time i hear his voice i want to say

oh shut up you big TWAT

pointydog · 17/05/2009 20:12

I am not terribly familiar with nicky campbell, stuff, but I beleive you

TheCrackFox · 17/05/2009 20:12

Nicky Campbell is a twat. You are not alone stuffitlllama.

stuffitlllama · 17/05/2009 20:12

and the grin

Ponders · 17/05/2009 20:11

Nicky Campbell is the twattiest of twats, llama

pointydog · 17/05/2009 20:11

Mason is just a bit spongey

pointydog · 17/05/2009 20:11

Evan has the ears.

Ponders · 17/05/2009 20:11

wonk, RP may be the kindest & loveliest bloke in the whole of the BBC but he gets over-excited about financial disaster & his delivery stinks.

Get him off to psychotherapy & elocution, there's a love.

stuffitlllama · 17/05/2009 20:10

somebody agree with me about nicky campbell

tell me I don't shudder alone

Hassled · 17/05/2009 20:10

Evan Davies is not a twat but he does scare the children. He looks like some mutant offspring of the devil.

(or is that Jay Raynor?)

pointydog · 17/05/2009 20:10

argh! Not Evan. No no.

Paul Mason, thank you, wonk. He is good.
