To think Chris Tarrant is a knob?

Actually I know I'm entirely reasonable.

What does he always have to insult the audience?

Why does he always say that the "phone a friends" are a funny looking lot?

And didn't he shag around when he was married?

Listen Tarrant is overshadowed by the enormous knobbiness of JEZZA Clarkson. A giant amongst knobs. He gives knobs a bad name. I want to see him and Tarrant and Brucie and erm let me think....er Ed Balls, david cameron and loads of other dicks in I am a celebrity please hang me. Now that would be unmissable tv.

lolaflores · 20/12/2011 15:52

tarrant always reminds me of those verbose friends that my FIL seems to attract. All been something in buisness once, couple of wives, new thai wife on the arm, in the Brotherhood, get speeding tickets over looked. very very sleazy and eyeing up anything with a fanny and that includes the livestock. nothing safe around them. Oh and buy places in France and piss and moan about the french.

Diamondwhite · 20/12/2011 16:26

I can't bear him.

Milchardo · 20/12/2011 16:33

Admittedly, all of the above are bad, but I raise you that total nobber (Prof) Brian Cox... Xmas Angry

sitandnatter · 20/12/2011 19:15

I remember as a teenager seeing him at a local school, really looked forward to it. He was a total up his own arse prize jerk. In his defence he was probably still in his twenties and hope he has matured into a decent person. Back then he was a Pri&ck.

PlumpDogPillionaire · 20/12/2011 20:29

I used to have childhood nightmares about Chris Tarrant.

MangoMonster · 20/12/2011 20:30

I don't like him much, in fact you're right, he is a nob.

Bluestocking · 20/12/2011 20:50

OK, Milchardo, I'll take the bait. What has "Professor" Brian Cox done to annoy you?

Milchardo · 21/12/2011 07:36

Bluestocking, he called a friend of mine a cunt (and more) on Twitter for expressing a differing opinion to his...

AKissIsNotAContract · 21/12/2011 07:48

I can't stand Chris Tarrent with his weird smile. He only ever shows his lower teeth when he smiles, like a French bulldog.

aldiwhore · 21/12/2011 10:10

I like Prof Cox! Xmas Blush

slug · 21/12/2011 10:44

Don't knock the Cox!!

DH is another skinny scientist of a similar age and DD is convinced her Daddy will one day be on telly just like him.

Bethshine82 · 21/12/2011 14:03

Tarrant looks like the tortoise out of creature comforts.
YANBU he is horrid.

CoffeeDog · 21/12/2011 15:24

He was quite rude and ranty at my father at a fishing lake a few years ago.... he was bloody lucky he wasnt thrown in!!

He just makes my teeth itch.....

NinkyNonker · 21/12/2011 15:32

Deffo yanbu. Heard him earlier as they came back on after a track making some crack along the lines of "oh, we're back on, do yourself up Sally" and I just thought Hmm, ha bloody ha. Grim.

LineRunnerCrouchingReindeer · 21/12/2011 16:01

A different opinion on what, though, Milchardo? The Higgs-Bosun, or the size of his mam's tits? We need context on the Cox, be fair.

petal2008 · 21/12/2011 16:22

I hate it when he sits in for Steve Wright. I only listen on the school run to the "oldies". he talks all over the beginning of the records and all over the end. I don't know why he bothers playing the tunes - he may as well be on a talk only show.

Mandy2003 · 21/12/2011 16:27

Chris Tarrant = Knob
Chris Evans = Knob
Chris Moyles = Knob

You can see I have a problem with organised entertainment!

NinkyNonker · 21/12/2011 16:30

Chris Moyles makes me want to break things. Did you see the tv prog he did during which he went and met all the previous R1 breakfast hosts and basically patronised the hell out of them? I was desperate for someone to point out many R2 shows have a higher listenership than he does, they were all too polite though. Chris Evans got kudos from me for refusing to go on, and Simon Mayo was a little supercilious which I enjoyed.

sozzledchops · 21/12/2011 16:31

Was sitting in front of me on the plane once. Was charming and chatted away to the older couple beside him for the journey. Also got my buggy down from the overhead for me and helped me so i found him very pleasant.

LineRunnerCrouchingReindeer · 21/12/2011 16:35

Chris Moyles is a slurping knobber of a slugfuck.

PlumpDogPillionaire · 21/12/2011 16:52

That is the best description of Moyles that I ever, ever expect to see or hear, Line (not that I discuss him that much). You sum him up perfectly.

GoingForGoalWeight · 21/12/2011 17:04

Chris Moyles is an utter creep. Makes me feel sick, licking celebs arses etc on his shyte quiz show, i can't watch any longer. Alan Carr is close second, as funny as a nail in your head is. :(

LineRunnerCrouchingReindeer · 21/12/2011 17:43

PlumpDogPillion, GoingForGoal, Mandy2003 and NinkyNonker, I thank you for joining my anti-Moyles wavelength.

Bluestocking · 23/12/2011 00:41

I too am glad that I'm not alone in my utter loathing of Chris Moyles. Everything about him is FOUL. Come back, Milchardo, and tell us what your friend disagreed with Prof Cocks about.
