I cannot bear Bruce Forsyth. I suspect I won't be alone in this on Mumsnet, but he seems to be viewed as some kind of wonderful old trouper by the general population and by the press. I suspect he is a nasty old git.

uggghhhhh

mmmmy boss got euros for going to Belfast the other day

NI isn't part of GB though

"NI isn't part of GB though "

i know but if the concept was to see ireland as a whole, then the concept of the united kingdom of Gb and N.I. wouldn't exist to the other poster so i wasn't sure how to phrase the sentence as in the first option the U.K. didn't exist in their mind but in the second it did except it also included the R.O.I. even though i know it was only a wind up (as it was followed by the sentence "In much the same way as some people see Scotland and England as one big countrycalled England!") and the imortant thing is that we all hate bono as one.

Is it wrong that I not only can't stand Gloria Hunniford, but loathed her daughter too?

I see I'm the only person gunning for Helen Mirren. Come on women, she's ghastly!

Alibobster · 27/01/2009 21:22

Fiona Phillips
Kate 'I'm so fat and really just a normal mum' Winslet - feck off
Myleene Klass aaaaagh!!!! How on earth did we manage to raise our babies before she came on the scene with her expert advice

Alibobster · 27/01/2009 21:23

Oh and Sandi Thom - very annoying face

my dh bought my mum gloria's book for Christmas much to my hilarity and her hatred/dismay

RiaParkinson · 28/01/2009 20:48

what is wrong with helen Mirren?

georgimama · 28/01/2009 20:58

Everything is wrong with Helen Mirren. The whole ghastly "I'm an older woman, I'm so sexy" persona. She is not sexy. She wears clothes made for a 30 year old. She looks awful in them.

I don't understand why papers go along with it. Every now and again the media adopts a blanket position on a person and then pursues it contrary to all the evidence.

RiaParkinson · 28/01/2009 21:01

ohh no

she is lovely

and she loves sleeves

philmassive · 29/01/2009 09:38

Forgot about Cliff and Macca - urgh! IS it because they are just too old to be behaving like they do?

V signs from Macca. Makes my skin crawl.

Two people who have beleived too much of their own press coverage.

RiaParkinson · 29/01/2009 22:25

ooh oooh ooh

Alan Bennett gag

RiaParkinson · 29/01/2009 22:25

David crap drawer Hockney

peggotty · 29/01/2009 22:28

You saw him on the news didn't you?! His plays are always called something like 'The Last Cream Cracker under the Settee in the Bedsittingroom'

yes pegotty - it was whilst grimacing at the screen that i remembered this thread

Eammon Holmes - why do I want to carry out acts of violence against his person when I don't "do" violence?

satonthesofa · 06/02/2009 13:34

Fiona Bruce, especially now in her 'weekend' clothes on AR

jujumaman · 06/02/2009 16:07

Helen Mirren - mutton dressed as Jordan.

Kate Winslet "I feel so guilty leaving my kids to get a facial". Course you do, love.

I have met Maureen Lipman and can attest she is an evil witch.

Was v amused when I used to live in Liverpool to find out all Liverpudlians hate Cilla for trading on her Scouser accent while living in Buckinghamshire.

Anyone fat who makes play out of it. I don't care what your weight is but I object to the stereotype that all overweight people are funny/cuddly/winsome. So patronising.

Frasersmum123 · 11/02/2009 13:14

Andrew Lloyd Webber - so annoying
I agree about Paul McCartney and his Peace signs!
Dale Winton
Nel McAndrew in those bloody yoghurt ads

potatofactory · 12/02/2009 14:07

yes! Lorraine Kelly. Her cleavage starts too high by half

nogreymatter · 23/02/2009 15:54

Sharon Osbourne - why 1 person bought a copy of her book is staggering, how it became a best seller is an indictment on our country. Piers Morgan and Sharon Osbourne, who would go first if you had 1 bullet?

Docbunches · 24/02/2009 14:40

lol at nogreymatter - I couldn't choose between them either.

Piers Morgan on Question Time the other night was completely vile and as for that interview he did with Shazza, what a detestable human being she is, where she was gagging to stick the knives into poor Danni Minogue.

frazzledgirl · 07/03/2009 19:46

Macca makes me cringe.

And Kylie Minogue - v glad she recovered, seems a nice girl and all, but crap singer who has made a successful career out of having a good arse, and appears to be Botoxed to the nth degree.
