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?

It's pathetic you lot are slagging me off cos you didn't think of cheesy blankets first.

Did Alex James write the lyrics of Blur's songs? Or did he leave it up to the infinitely more talented Damon Albarn? He must've done. Can you imagine if he did do the lyrics?! 'I met him in a crowded cheeseshop where people go to look at cheese'. 'He lives in a cheese, a very big cheese in the country' For 's sake, Alex, his colleagues would cry, enough with the cheese already. We want to get on top of the pops!!

Alex, remember blessed are the chessmakers (apologies to monty python).

Yourefired · 30/09/2011 22:37

Cheesemakers, who the hell are the chess makers

Quarklife was a terrific album though.

Do you think that George Michael would get involved with a bit of Cottage Cheese :o

My mind has been boggling at the Chris Isaak skill all evening.

He's bloody gorgeous (CI) but I think I preferred not knowing. John Lydon is the only one who comes out of that site looking good

Im hoping that this was before any of them where married.

What did they say about John? I was laughing that much that I couldnt read it all properly.

I am in stitches over Quarklife & Modern Cheese is Rubbish. Grin Personally I preferred The Grate Escape.

I know someone who used to run a literary festival and said Alex James was a vile piece of work and a hideously rude man.

TakeThisOneHereForAStart · 02/10/2011 11:54

Those comments at the bottom have to be by a PR company, otherwise Simon Horne, who claims having bread shaped cheese slices has saved him hours of time every morning, wants locking up for his own sodding good.

As does anyone who is named as part of the 'Chipping Norton Set'.

kitya · 02/10/2011 12:15

He's such an arrogant arse. I never liked him in Blur, he was always the one without the talent. I suspect Damon is a dick as well but, one look at him and I forgive anything. Smile

AitchTwoOh · 02/10/2011 12:15

ah now you see now i just want a baked potato and melted cheese.

DrinkYourWeakLemonDrinkNow · 02/10/2011 15:32

Of course there is another angle to this. Just wondering if there is any mileage pop-star endorsed cheese shaped bread.

Someone should give Noel Gallagher a ring; the Oasis/Blur competetive thing could continue on in a food based arena.

That's of course if he's not already doing something equally homespun these days like knitting cardis for BodenGrin.

Cheddar with salad cream flavoured cheese blanket. Wrong on so many levels.

It is hard to do a man down who can properly wear trousers.
But he is a massive nobber, it is true.

have just looked at his wikipedia entry and rofling at the 'notable instruments' in the box on the RHS en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alex_James_(musician)

ProjectGainsborough · 02/10/2011 19:06

Alex James, you have delighted us long enough. Take your cheese and fuck off.
