Bloody lovefilm adverts, bloody consulate programme on channel 4. He is so pleased with himself, he cant quite belive it. I cant even watch that consulate programme as he annoys me thattt much. Could use subtitles i suppose.

Could also try and get out more. ( me, not bill)

YABU. I LOVE Bill Nighy.

Cherriesarelovely · 05/03/2012 13:08

I agree. I feel similarly about Michael Caine.

RaPaPaPumPumBootyMum · 05/03/2012 13:13

I hate the fake sardonic look he does [complete with raised eyebrows, a pet hate in the catalogue of pretentious poses] on the poster for his latest film [something about the elderly and a Marigold hotel?]

It irritates me every time I see this poster advertising the film. So YANBU imo.

valiumredhead · 05/03/2012 13:17

God he is so unbelievably sexy, his voice alone makes me swoon. YABVU!

WandaDoff · 05/03/2012 13:18

I love Bill Nighy. YABU

Kennyp · 05/03/2012 13:36

I think he thinks he is a robert palmer debonair suave type. Whereas i would walk the other way, quickly, if i saw him. Eurrrgggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I love him a little bit for the line in Love, Actually where he refers to Ant/Dec as "Ant or Dec". Other than that I can take him or leave him.

Icelollycraving · 05/03/2012 14:27

I love him,yabu.

FreudianSlipper · 05/03/2012 14:32

i would happily have sex with him

but not sure i would want to bother getting to know him in any other way i think he could be a little annoying

Sandalwood · 05/03/2012 14:36

yanbu

His voice grates on me and he keeps being in Radio 4 plays which I usually like on the school run, but he spoils them.

I don't think he acts - he's just Bill Nighy in everything he does (like Michael Caine).

BrianButterfield · 05/03/2012 14:38

When he was in Love Actually, there were all these articles and interviews going on about what a national legend he is etc etc but I had never heard of him before! I think he was created for Love Actually and retrospectively fitted with a past.

And YANBU, obv.

scortja · 05/03/2012 14:39

He chose Winter by the Rolling Stones on Desert Island Discs so he has a free pass as far as I'm concerned..

GiserableMitt · 05/03/2012 15:06

How is his surname pronounced?

GiserableMitt · 05/03/2012 15:07

Oh bloody hell, I just Googled (and learnt how to pronounce his name). Definitely not shaggable.

TotemPole · 05/03/2012 15:11

Giserable, Nigh-he.

I like him. He was great in Underworld as the head vampire person, and in Pirates of the Caribbean.

TotemPole · 05/03/2012 15:12

No it's more nigh-ee.

Kennyp · 05/03/2012 15:47

I pronounce his surname "Nobb-Edd" but it is spelt Nobead so it could be pronounced "no-beed" i suppose

I always get him mixed up with Chris Langham. Star of Thick of It and occasional viewer of inappropriate photos.
