@ohdearmymistake what the HELL have frank Bruno’s mental health issues got to do with the appalling way he behaved in that situation? I also saw that show and he behaved dreadfully, thinking himself more important than pretty much anyone!
Another who hated Michael portillo but warmed to him SLIGHTLY upon seeing him on various shows after his political career. Turns out he’s not quite the massive twat I thought - though I still disagree with his politics
@Gulsink I like Russell brand I think he makes a lot of sense on drug rehab and certainly other areas of politics
Sophie Ellis-bextor - wasn’t a dislike as such just wasn’t my cuppa, then she was the support act at a concert and the fans were giving her a hard time, it was a roasting hot day, there were technical issues and she turned it all around! Made some very funny self deprecating comments, then did a stonking show and won over loads of people. There were youngsters waiting for her to get autographs etc even though they’d not been in at the concert and she made loads of effort with them too.
I used to live and work in a place where a LOT of celebs live, most were quiet and unassuming, a few were “don’t you know who I am?” Type arseholes.
My mums a huge Beatles fan and most people were of course more “familiar” with John and Paul, George and ringo were less celebrated, I had the clearly mistaken impression ringo considered himself “overlooked” and I judged him for that, he was a regular customer and was always so polite, patient, happily signed autographs and posed for pictures and did a ton of stuff for local charities and did hospital/hospice visits etc could not have met a nicer man!
Was never that fussed about Jk Rowling. She’s my hero now.
I’m not a Harry Potter fan, I’ve never read any of her books but I think the stuff she’s doing now with feminism etc is AMAZING. Love her.
