to think Take That should have told Robbie to sod off!

First of all, I used to love Robbie. I was never hugely into Take That first time round. But then when Robbie left and got good I loved him & went to see him in concert every chance I could - was a huge fan basically. Then when his music (IMO) started to get a bit duff four or five years ago and I got sick of hearing about his (reported) costant moaning and 'me me me-ness', I lost interest in him completely. I have really got into Take That since their comeback and think their new stuff is fantastic.

So I don't understand why they would give Robbie the time of day now? He used to be so rude about them all & how they've all amounted to nothing and he's so fantastic, etc. I'm sure that if Robbie was still as popular as he was ten years ago, and they hadn't had the big comeback they have, he wouldn't want to know them anyway. So why, when they're now doing really well without him, do they take him back?

BTW, the Take That stuff I've heard that they've done with Robbie so far, doesn't sound anything like as good as their pre-Robbie stuff, IMO!

Just realised how much I've waffled - so - AIBU?

Think your excuse explanation is much better than mine cup!!

SuePurblybilt · 10/11/2010 17:31

I never do sleb mags or programmes so rely on MN for all my info. Luckily I'm only interested in the slebs I fancy so no Kerry Katona or Jordan at all...

Oooh cup I think I love you too! Most people make a poo face when I tell them my guilty secret.

I dont't know why, but he does it for me, I find him fascinating!

cupcakesandbunting · 10/11/2010 17:44

It's the Geek Crush. I have many of them Grin

YANBU, they should all have told him to sod off. I for one will be taking a sniper rifle to the tour next year to deal with the Fat Dancer issue once and for all Wink Grin

QuickLookBusy · 10/11/2010 17:51

Now thats an idea gothelen.

Maybe a rifle is a little harsh. What about if we all turned up with pea shooters?Grin
I think he would look a tad like Norman Wisdom trying to cope with dodging a few thousand hard peas!! That would put him in his place!

gothelen · 10/11/2010 18:07

I have horrible up high seats and will need the telescopic sight. Tell you what, hit him with the pea shooters first and if he's not quit and run back to LA by the end of the show I'll take him out for the finale Wink

I've stumbled into this thread rather late but so delighted to find it. I also love love LOVE Take That but fucking detest Robbie Williams and his constant sickening attention seeking behaviour. He almost got away with it in his twenties but now he's in his late thirties he is just a cock of the highest order. I met him once just after he'd left Take That and he was really rude about all of them. Now his star has started to wane, he's back to being their best mate. Anyone remember his ridiculous 'hanging out with the Gallaghers' phase? SNORT! I am going to see them next year & am planning on stomping off to the bar in pointed disgust when the knob Williams does his bit. Twat! Ps I love Mark. Always have. Always will.

noddyholder · 10/11/2010 18:13

I love robbie BTW can i just ask a quick question re TT? ABout a month before they appeared on teh scene again I was at a car boot sale and this girl had lots of photo albums of take that over teh years candid behind the scenes stuff and pics of them outside their houses yrs ago in manchester etc etc.They are fab and I bought them for £1!Her dp soon to become dh made her get rid Shock.I bought the lot and was looking at them and think now is the time to sell.

mrsmindcontrol · 10/11/2010 18:17

oh and cupcakes and quick, can I join your Louis Theroux Appreciation Group. I too find him pretty sexy. I'm a sucker for a man with glasses and a good head of hair. Unless it's Robbie Twatting Williams of course.

Of course you can mrsmind, gosh didn't realise there were so many of us!!!

caspered · 10/11/2010 19:16

OOO loving this thread!! I am a big TT fan and was a RW fan a long time ago and I do agree with all those who would like to say 'Get Stuffed Back to the USA and look for aliens Mr Williams'. I will of course be going to see them in wembley, I will have my peashooter at the ready so can we agree on 'when' we shoot him and we can all get him at the same time Grin and I do find myself getting irrationally angry at the thought of him singing any of the songs that are not his!!! (and normally I am a rational professional person - ho hum). One last thing on the 'Geeky Love' thang, Valentine Warner! Don't know why but does it for me! BTW where has he gone?

SuePurblybilt · 10/11/2010 20:11

I met him in his ridiculous hanging out with the Gallaghers phase. Well, my friends Gareth gave them a light at Alton Towers and we all sniggered. We stalked him around the rides Grin. He was wearing a stupid astrakhan-type coat and had very odd hair.

He was obviously desperate to be noticed (it was a roadshow thing) but at the same time pretending not to want to be bothered.

SuePurblybilt · 10/11/2010 20:12

My friend. There is just one of him.

QuickLookBusy · 10/11/2010 20:30

caspered I think let him do one song, then go for it!!!

malachysmum · 10/11/2010 20:33

yeah, how do you know he's not gay..

GeneHuntsMistress · 10/11/2010 20:47

Oooh I would do Louis Theroux

Robbie Williams is gay

TT wrong to let him back, the caffeine swigging fat dancer that he is.

As you were.
