Nigel Farage

Absolutely, a truly destructive arse.

She's a very talented actor, though the talk show persona does grate a bit

A woman who had to claw her way through a bunch of entitled white British men, like John Cleese, to get recognised. Love her!

I don’t hate him and think he is absolutely fantastic but as he has been mentioned in here - david attenborough.

I know about 5 people who have worked with him on various things and can say with good authority that he is a very grumpy and rude individual. Not to be agist but think it’s that older person just not giving a toss about offending people and losing their manners, snappy and irritable. Sort of understand it because one imagines at that age you’ve run out of patience but still, never meet your heroes!

He’s great at what he does and is a national treasure but I don’t think he’s the lovable grandad type everyone makes him out to be.

Bit of a generalisation I know, but most men seem to get grumpy with age. I know very few truly ‘lovely’ grandad types!

ok I googled her - rosie jones, still have no idea who she is, maybe it is all her neighbours on here hating on her or else she needs a new PR because fuck me I've never seen a person mentioned so much and yet who are u ROSIE???

Stacey Solomon...everyone loves
her, she just really gets on my last nerve.

Judi Dench used to like her until I read she has quite a foul mouth and thinks calling people a cunt is funny.

Mary berry , I don't buy her nice little old lady act she has very beady eyes.

Mary Berry is the real deal. I’ve met her, she really always that sweet. Judy Dench is a fabulous actress who swears like the men she works alongside. I’d rather be with a sweary person, than one that doesn’t swear but who is destructive, lije Rishi Sunak.

Will ferrel and James corden

Walliams is about to have his life destroyed because all his dirty secrets are coming out.

Luckily my pet hate James Cordon is disliked by most other people. How does he keep on working though?

Unliveable people often have talent, he is a very talented writer. He is also funny, Gavin and Stacy? The fact he is a haughty arse doesn’t change that.

@sweetdreamtennasee yeah 100% was a very unenlightened time in the early-mid aughts and all very polarised as you say. Quite racist too (white chaste good girl pop stars on the one hand and young highly sexualised black pop stars on the other - not sure if things have improved much so a bit depressing). I listened to a podcast, focussed on sociology and pop culture history, and they did a deep dive of Jessica Sampson’s autobiography. I didn’t think it would be that interesting but actually it was as it lifted the lid on what JS’s specific corner of the music industry was like back then. Sounded pretty grim!

Yeah i agree about todays pop music, it’s all pretty unlistenable to me. That’s how I know I’m Old haha🧓🏼I don’t mind Olivia Rodrigo though, she’s sweet. Although I’m sure like all of todays pop stars, her parents are people of importance and influence who bought her place. Was it more of a meritocracy in the naughties? If so then that’s an aspect I miss!

Ant and Dec

Lullabies2Paralyze · 08/01/2023 11:04

@pompomdaisy me too!! I always thought I was the only one. Haha. No idea why he himself annoys me coz I love what he does and work in environmental sector but god everyone just thinks the sun shines out his bottom

Lullabies2Paralyze · 08/01/2023 11:05

Tom Hanks. He just seems too good to be true. I’m waiting for him to die and then everything bad come out the woodwork because people won’t say anything while he’s alive. He strikes me as very powerful in Hollywood circuits.

Holly willoughby

Jeremy Clarkson the celebrity racist and Jonathan Ross smug annoying git who thinks he's hilarious

Holly willoughby
Cat Deeley

piesforever · 08/01/2023 11:13

Also Ant and Dec, they have literally no intelligence or talent, tv for people with no brains, they can't act, sing or do comedy, useless

midsomermurderess · 08/01/2023 11:13

Someone said Greg Wallace. I thought it was almost the law that you think he’s a tit.

TigerQueen89 · 08/01/2023 11:14

@BellePeppa Yeah totally! Biden is loved because he’s not Trump aka the worst US President the world has ever known. Kier is loved because he’s not Jeremy Corbyn, the worst Labour leader the country has ever seen.

SpringsRightAroundTheCorner · 08/01/2023 11:15

Kate middleton, I just don't get it? Cries of "I love her", no you love the act she puts on in public (that she has to, not out of choice), she can afford to pay people lots of money to make her look good and spend thousands on outfits, so she always looks "beautiful".

You don't love her, you literally have no idea what she's really like, besides this she is just an unemployed rich woman living off other people's wealth, whether it be her husband's family or her parents, nothing to aspire to or love. It makes me feel sick the fawning people do over her.
