To think Alex James should be drowned in a vat of Spudsworth Melting Cubes?

Here's Alex James, friend of Cameron and Clarkson and fellow member of the Chipping Norton set, coining it in by flogging cheese to the plebs at Asda.

Surely 'bread-shaped cheese blankets' are just cheese slices. And Spudsworth? Chop up a small quantity of 4 cheeses and put them in a bag. Bingo, a brand new product.

Can we all just stop this collective madness and stop buying any old shit, just because it's sold by a celeb?

i loved Alex from the moment I saw him atop the Radio One Roadshow wagon just before Blur broke big.

But even i'm starting to go off him now.

and I wiki'd him the other week and was slightly agog at the names they have given their children.

then there was his confession on It's Not East Being Green that he has six washing machines.

I don't think I love him anymore.

even though I do love cheese.

It's all marvellous. Can't wait for the Pete Doherty to bring out his range of fruity-bites for the kid's lunch boxes.

mayorquimby · 30/09/2011 13:17

Sorry but were any of you in Blur?

Alex James > you (regardless of his poncey cheese fetish)

BupcakesandCunting · 30/09/2011 13:18

Yes, I've liked him up until this

I liked his Foodie Boy column in the Observer Food magazine. I liked listening to him talk about his cheese-making on the idiot box because he seemed genuinely passionate about it. But now this. He's gone down a few notches. Would not have a problem if he was just selling his cheese in shops (even at a premium) but microwaveable, pre-cut cheese? Bet they'll go nicely with some Turkey Twizzlers and potato pistols.

you paid £95 to park in a field and buy stuff? Don't they have a john Lewis near you?

He is an oasis taunting tosser.

gordyslovesheep · 30/09/2011 13:23

Blur where okay - they where never more than a good indie band though - hardly Radiohead or The Jam :)

mayorquimby · 30/09/2011 13:23

Nope.
Happy to admit. Alex James > me

lec0rnsillk · 30/09/2011 13:24

Alex James shagged you? Confused

ColdSancerre · 30/09/2011 13:25

MayorQuimby is Alex James? I'm confused.

MrsLadywoman · 30/09/2011 13:26

Wow. So because someone played bass in a band, you feel that they are better than you and unassailable.

Did you used to self-harm as a teenager?

This might be better - not so many bands though cotswold farm day

gordyslovesheep · 30/09/2011 13:27

no she is not worthy to stand in his shadow or something - cheer up though Quimby - you can now buy his assorted cheese ralated shit tat - which will bring you closer to him

TheSmallClanger · 30/09/2011 13:29

The blanket things look far too big to go in the bread I use. I was looking at them last week, before I noticed they were Cheesetwat branded.

Also, how can anyone apart from someone running a) a large hotel or b) some sort of care home need SIX washing machines?

LittleBoxes · 30/09/2011 13:29

This is the 2011 equivalent of Roger Daltrey and his fish farm in the 80s - Smash Hits used to take the piss out of it something rotten.

mayorquimby · 30/09/2011 13:29

A band that played coffee and tv, yes.
Grin

gordyslovesheep · 30/09/2011 13:31

you can wrap your self in his cheese blanket of luuuurve and suck down his salty cheese cubes - you life is complete Grin

BupcakesandCunting · 30/09/2011 13:31

Blur were cack. Don't do yourself down, Quimby. You are better than a band who thinks that "Live in a house, a very big house, in the country. Drinks, smokes, laffs, takes herbal baffs in the countryyyyyy...." are quality lyrics.

ViviPru · 30/09/2011 13:32

OOOooo Dab I love Adam's Farm.

Every Sunday night I say the same. Oh I love Adam's Farm. Why don't they just do the whole programme about that? And Mr. VP always rolls his eyes and says "you say that every week"

MrsLadywoman · 30/09/2011 13:32

Crikey. See what you mean queenrollo

They have five children: three boys Geronimo and twins Artemis and Galileo and daughters Sable and Beatrix.

Who the fuck pours melted cheese on a jacket potato? Weird and wrong

I feel a bit sick now after looking at his horrible face

Merrylegs · 30/09/2011 13:32

Alex James - making cheese relevant again. ... Grin too funny.

He does look like he needs a jolly good wash though, doesn't he?

BupcakesandCunting · 30/09/2011 13:33

"

Microwaved cheese makes you shit the bed twice a night.

Another reason not to buy.
