did I hallucinate the whole thing? What IS it and why does he seem to be talking about that current poo thread?

No , no , I was just about to post, god, I hate it when that happens -

F&Z, what I was going to say was that people hate him, because he claimed that Liza beat him, abused him etc etc.

DavidGest · 26/04/2007 21:49

Liza was unkind to me. She married me.

Was he unkind to Liza?

(apols for ignorance)

I'm not sure why he is despised - it it because the world is very pro wierdo alcoholic , my mother was an angerl Liza ?

And yes nailpolish, I am as astounded as you, at him and Malandra, astounded that he would stoop so low, or that she could.... kiss him ?????
Wierd !!

Tutter · 26/04/2007 21:39

he claims to be 53

but his hands look like those of a 73yo

why do people despise him though? Just because he is odd?

(sorry to go off at a tangent but it seems like MN Towers not that bothered about our pain )

I often like the underdog too

but not permanently in the corner of my screen

Oblomov · 26/04/2007 21:35

All I knew about him before was that he was:
wierd
married to Liza Minelli
despised by the whole world, it seemed
and I couldn't for the life of me work out why he would want to go on sucha stupid programme as I'm celeb, get me out.
But as you watched him....
he was my fave in the ned.
And I never would have predicted that !

Oblomov · 26/04/2007 21:32

Don't get me wrong, he is a very strange looking man. And a total diva. But there is something very nice about him. He is very intelligent. Quite witty. Silly in a delf-depreciating way.
I watched the Jungle bits with him in it and you couldn't help but warm to him.

He looks sort of normal from the front and then when he turns sideways he looks as if he has had a lot of scary work done on his face

Am I correct?

Gawd this ad is certainly making me consider David Gest for longer periods of time than I ever thought possible

What do you love about him Oblomov? I don't really know naff all about him but he seems to be almost universally loathed on here

OP posts:
Oblomov · 26/04/2007 21:24

God, I love David Guest. But it is a bit freaky that he keeps popping up !

FrannyandZooey · 26/04/2007 21:23

LOL perhaps Aitch will watch it for me and tell me about it in very witty terms

OP posts:
DavidGest · 26/04/2007 21:22

I can't DO that Franny! My TV show is wild and I want all of you to watch me. It's so wacky. You can all love and learn my dance.

FrannyandZooey · 26/04/2007 21:18

LOL you aren't the problem exactly David

you do look kind of odd but who am I to talk?

but can you stop ruddy POPPING UP AND MOVING AROUND AND STUFF when I am trying to read, PLEASE?

OP posts:
DavidGest · 26/04/2007 21:16

Aww, I'm not scary Franny. C'mon sit on my lap and I'll tell you all about myself

TheDuchessOfNorksBride · 26/04/2007 21:14

And I hate the NS&I advert - it keeps giving me the bird. How very dare they.

MrsWho · 26/04/2007 21:12

Its awful, can't stand adverts that move when I am trying to read.

Mercy · 26/04/2007 21:02

I don't like that lunchables ad either; if it's the nutirtional equivalent of a ham and cheese sarnie, then why not make a ham and cheese sarnie for a fraction of the cost???

(apols. for spelling errors - have been at teh school disco )

Mercy · 26/04/2007 20:58

I still don't know who he is, can someone enlighten me, please?

DeviousDaffodil · 26/04/2007 20:56

I hate the Fab lolly ads.
Too bright, give me a migraine , all those e numbers jumping at me!

FrannyandZooey · 26/04/2007 20:52

It's not him I object to, it's the intrusive / distracting nature of the ad

OP posts:
Hathor · 26/04/2007 20:46

Grim. Am going to do something else until he goes away. Bye all

DeviousDaffodil · 26/04/2007 20:42

He is funny, he can laugh at himself.
I do NOT find him attractive BTW.
Malandra burrows - publicity stunut i expect!
