preston from ordinary boys came into my work, we had a 10 min chat about football, he’s pretty chill...
In one way, it's a shame for him that the one thing that sticks in people's minds is when he stormed out of Never Mind The Buzzcocks, because he was portrayed as rude, angry and a real arse; but in the context of what Simon Amstell was saying, sneering and mocking his girlfriend, it was actually quite a demonstration of a nice and honourable character trait, standing up for her. Simon always had the way of disguising bullying as 'friendly bantz'.
Brucie didn't even try to hide his contempt for the public when he was on TV. His full surname was Forsyth-Johnson and I'll never forget the time when a woman was called down on The Price Is Right and it turned out her surname was Johnson as well. Brucie made some apparently-good-humour-but-actually-unpleasant belittling comment to her, saying "I'm a Johnson too" (no comment 
) "....But we had money". That and his treatment of female contestants: inappropriately touching the younger ones and painting the older ones as stupid mad old grannies.
I wonder if he was always resentful that he'd started out at a young age as a top-flight, talented variety entertainer, but ended up just known as a gameshow host - it was entirely his choice to do that, though. Bob Monkhouse quite cheerfully embraced the two strings to his showbiz bow.
Anna Windass off Coronation St used to click her fingers at us as well when she wanted assistance
Dreadful behaviour - but imagine having to go through life (let alone in a high-profile job) with that surname?! Maybe getting in there first is her standard defence mechanism before people make the same old but still perpetually hilarious jokes?!
That's an amazing story about Ringo - what a truly lovely thing to do. I know he's had criticism for his 'leave me alone now, peace and love' comments, but I think he's just being honest with his fans about where he is in life and how he wants a bit of time to himself, out of the public eye. He's an old man now and he just does not have anything like enough time (or probably energy) left to respond to everybody who would want a piece of him (in a nice way!), so I think a clear but polite publicised withdrawal is actually the mark of a kind person who doesn't want to upset his fans who may have unrealistic expectations.
ooh ooh what are the words?
hoping one is ‘teeny-weeny’
That's probably one of them - along with 'pint-sized', 'fun-sized', 'shortarse' etc.!!
Also probably 'Scientology', 'David Miscavige' and the names of his former wives and lovers. To be fair, probably also 'Suri' - it's not her fault what her background is and she has every right to have her privacy protected.
