..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.

Paris Hilton is uber twat and frankly am disappointed it took this long for her to be mentioned.

If we're on CBeebies now then I'm throwing Big Cook & Little Cook in the pot (fnar). I do have a theory that they met at university and had a shit comedy double act. They fell into children's telly and are now stuck. I think Big Cook runs the show and makes Little Cook keep doing it. Maybe some sort of blackmail....a deep dark secret.... Anyway, I digress. I swear there's looks of barely concealed venom from Little Cook and that smile is masking something, you mark my words

Boco Yes, stupid reactionary twats

screamingabdab · 18/05/2009 13:38

Sorry, me again

George Galloway, for example, is a TWAT

Boco · 18/05/2009 13:37

I agree with you about ITV news, but not about Eamon.

All the Loose Women are twats.

squeaver · 18/05/2009 13:37

Also anyone with the surname Geldof (apart from the eldest one who seems quite sane)

screamingabdab · 18/05/2009 13:36

Boco we have had Eamon Holmes, but curiously enough, i don't think he is much of a twat

screamingabdab · 18/05/2009 13:34

The twats who present the ITV lunchtime news are, appropriately enough, twats. Alistair Stewart and that smug lady

ITV news is Twatty

TheCrackFox · 18/05/2009 13:22

HolyGuacamolem - you are so right. Just a matter of time before we are treated to the Rooney maternity collection, baby care book, baby clothes range and the inevitable search for real mothers. massive twat.

HolyGuacamole · 18/05/2009 13:18

That Coleen McGloughlin is a twat. You can bet your arse when she has her baby, she'll write a book about it and start a programme on channel 5 or living tv to find Britains 'real mothers'.

Boco · 18/05/2009 13:17

Have we had Eamon Holmes? He is, for example, a terrible twat.

TheCrackFox · 18/05/2009 13:15

Has anyone nominated Amanda Platell for Mayor of Twatshire yet?

squeaver · 18/05/2009 13:10

Yes you can have Millard as Queen Twat if Amanda "no facial muscles" Holden can be her heiress apparent.

Joggler · 18/05/2009 13:08

OH MY GOD
lady twat of twatshire

I HATE her and her emasculated nob end of an h

Vulgar · 18/05/2009 13:07

I agree with all the twats

can I just add Rosie Millard? she's definitely a twat.

QueenThistle · 18/05/2009 13:07

Are we doing fictional characters now?

Cos if we are then Janeway from Star Trek Voyager is an annoying uber-twat, oh yes she is.

And Charlie Sheen, biggest twat in hollywood.

Whoever said Simon Cowell, shame on you ((wags finger)) He is the saviour of mankind {wink}

pollywobbledoodle · 18/05/2009 12:56

strictly men should be referred to as twatless twats....

MissM · 18/05/2009 12:55

So women can be twats, as in Germaine Greer, for example, is a twat. (All due respect paid of course).

pollywobbledoodle · 18/05/2009 12:53

Jonathan Ross is ugly boring self centred inane and a twat.

MissM · 18/05/2009 12:40

Oh god, Stringfellow, YES!

How about Sarkozy? Or actually, Carla Bruni if you saw their meeting with Nelson Mandela (shown on a recent tribute programme).

boudoiricca · 18/05/2009 12:29

"Bono is King twat" just made me snort coffee out of my nose!

I really hope he self-googles (or at least gets some poor assistant deputy PA to do it for him...)

milkysallgone · 18/05/2009 12:16
