ooohhh!! sorry Hazel I thought the link I clicked on of that blog was giving a clue when it said "sex in the shitty"

HazeltheMcWitch · 15/04/2011 18:02

Shag, wrong romcom ! It was indeed Notting Hill Blush
That'll teach me, trying to be clever with my clues...

ceebeegeebies · 15/04/2011 18:04

You had me doubting my vast knowledge of Richard Curtis romcoms then Grin (I have spent far too much of my time actually watching them over and over and over again Blush)

BalloonSlayer · 15/04/2011 18:30

How does that article teej linked to point to HB?

ceebeegeebies · 15/04/2011 18:36

I don't get the Critical Eye thing either - can anyone explain (by PM if necessary Wink)

ValiumBandwitch · 15/04/2011 18:36

Balloon, don't know what teej linked to, but check out ephraim hardcastle's column on line (on the dm website). He makes it obvious really. Somebody said yesterday that the DM always leave clues!

ValiumBandwitch · 15/04/2011 18:38

scroll down to the end

ValiumBandwitch · 15/04/2011 18:41

just read teej's link. I don't understand the 'critical eye' thing. Was he in a play called the critical eye?

ValiumBandwitch · 15/04/2011 18:43

ah right, yes he is apparently

forehead · 15/04/2011 19:03

If it is HB,, totally dull,. These super injunctions are pointless imho, because people just begin to speculate , which draws more attention to the person seeking the super injunction,
I wonder if his wife knows.

ceebeegeebies · 15/04/2011 19:20

Valium thank you - that has cleared up the critical eye clue Smile I think it is extremely obvious who it is now and have to say tis very dull indeed!! Feel sorry for his poor wife & son tbh.

VivaLeBeaver · 15/04/2011 21:49

So do we think the paper will be able to get the gagging order overturned? How come some celebs seem to be successful in getting gagging orders when others aren't?

prettyfly1 · 15/04/2011 21:50

really? How horribly dull - I thought he was gay. Does anyone know who the a-list footballer caught shagging the bird out of bb is? Another Family Man caught out??

kittya · 15/04/2011 22:05

It's not him who's being going with Wayne rooneys bit of stuff is it? Surely not, he seems so err, dull?

SingingTunelessly · 15/04/2011 22:08

Prettyfly -from what I can work out it seems to be "I wish I could fly down to Rio....." or M Owing my lawn....... Smile

SingingTunelessly · 15/04/2011 22:09

And agree the actor is dull. Never really heard of him.

ceebeegeebies · 15/04/2011 22:14

There is another thread about the footballer - a couple of posters have said that they have it on good authority that it is a footballer who likes going to Gigs, particularly in Wales Wink - first name may rhyme with Bryan Wink

Bit0fFunnyBunny · 15/04/2011 22:21

And an equal number think it may be the one who's always owen money to bookies...

kittya · 15/04/2011 22:30

I don't care about footballers as they're all at it. I'm more interested in those in the public eye that claim to be family men. Even then, I don't see the point of injunctions. It always comes out.

SingingTunelessly · 15/04/2011 22:31

Oi BOF I said M Owing my lawn. Damn you I was trying to get into this malarky. Grin So really we have no idea......

teej · 16/04/2011 00:07

blummin 'eck there was me out for a cultural night at t'theatre, i come back and you're all still at it Shock

right, i think said person's (actor's) issue may be down to the transaction that was actually performed which links in to other rumours about the poor fellow. if i have picked up on the various clues correctly, that is also reflected in the reference to a popular US tv and movie franchise in the linky i provided (think laterally not literally here - he was not in said programme i believe).

fair to say that i don't know any of this is fact, just picking up on clues on twitter etc and i could be completely wrong. once again what he does with his own sex life is up to him but these pernicious injunctions are wrong and should be stopped. and there endeth the sermon.

teej · 16/04/2011 00:11

also the word on t'interweb re the footie boy is not on mowening the lawn or on my own first guess of a trip to brazil. i fear it may be the one person i thought was above that kind of tosh, but as my DP reminded me this evening he did have previous, prior to getting married, of being involved with a "meedja personality". must they always revert to type?

AnonymousBird · 16/04/2011 11:35

teej - if you refer to Bryan Biggs, then not only does he have previous he has also been reported as being "less than nice" to a previous girlfriend in ways other than shagging another bird IYSWIM.

Bit0fFunnyBunny · 16/04/2011 12:44

Teej, I am a little obtuse as to your references concerning the actor, but can I surmise that it relates to a catchphrase of Emily Lloyd's in 'Wish You Were Here'?

HazeltheMcWitch · 16/04/2011 13:36

(on behalf of Teej) - ...Bunny, if you mean that phrase 'Up yer bum', why yes, that is indeed the suggestion!
