Just seen his face on bbciplayer being interviewed by Mark lawson. When did this skinny smug poo smear become a national treasure or whatever? And don't even l,et me remember the days when he hung out with the Baddiel thing and it was like a version of those boys at school who were nasty little sneering sods, sat in the corner being vile.
sorry. just don't like the man. will not watch room 101 because of him. what was wrong with Paul Merton, now he is nice.

Hideous mugshot there.
flapper there was a thread on here recently about someone and her friend who had met Rob Newman, which would put you off. It did me, anyway. I'll try and find it for you.

He taught me at Halesowen College in the late eighties.He was just starting off in stand up and he was actually a really nice bloke. It does seem that the persona that he began to use for his stand up routines has taken over.He was my English and Theatre Studies lecturer and it's a wonder I came out with any grades at all.Tried his new routines out on us and I can honestly say that I have never met such a funny and intelligent man.

DS and my BIL have both met him several times and seem to like him. Mind you, as they are all WBA fans (that's where they've met), maybe fellow-feeling accounts for a lot of that....

otchayaniye · 14/03/2012 20:05

i've met him socially quite a few times and i find him really, really creepy.

not as creepy as Steeve Coogan though

otchayaniye · 14/03/2012 20:07

thatldopig, i know Rob newman well. what was that thread, can you find it?

BillyBollyBandy · 14/03/2012 20:47

YY to creepy Steve Coogan. Can't work out why though as used to find him oddly attractive

YouOldSlag · 14/03/2012 21:03

I don't like Steve Coogans lips. I don't trust them. Rob Newman is dreamy with Bambi eyes. .

BelfastBloke · 14/03/2012 21:46

YouOld..., do you find Rob Newman dreamy NOW, or are you talking about him from the early 90's? Having seen one of his shows recently, you may find there's quite a difference!

ladywithnomanors · 14/03/2012 21:57

I met him once 1997 in Liverpool he was involved in the Hillsborough concert that went on at the time. I can catergorically state he was not into anal on that night Blush.

ThatllDoPig · 14/03/2012 22:03

otchayaniye I've been wracking my brains till it hurts, and been hunting about but can't find it. It was a thread about something else that ended up being about Rob Newman on a 'thats you that is' type thing. I was lurking rather than on it, so can't find. Sorry.
But it involved a story about coke (not drinking), a toilet, vomit, hair, then a request for a threesome. The mner declined, but her young starstruck friend didn't.
I'm sure lots of famous people do such things, but you know, I was hoping he was different. Oh well.

Thatlldopig I love your name.. takes me back to that scene in Babe when farmer hoggett puts a plaster on Babes nose after the cat attack and does a silly dance to cheer babe up

Oh no! Im definately in the minority! FS is gorgeous! And honest and funny!

ThatllDoPig · 15/03/2012 08:17

Aw thanks TinOf that made my day! I was preparing myself to face something nasty with Frank Skinner smarming and sliming, and instead have the gentle sincerity of Farmer Hogget doing good in this world.
Ahh. pig fans unite.

vincettenoir · 15/03/2012 08:24

He seems alright enough on the telly but I went to see him live once and he was pretty old school racist. Didn't enjoy it at all.

YouOldSlag · 15/03/2012 09:09

Belfastbloke- leave me to my memories! Thatlldopig has already shattered my dreams. (sobs)

lolaflores · 15/03/2012 09:29

TinOfTigerFood · 15/03/2012 21:22

YAemphaticallyNBU. He makes my skin crawl with his gurning skull face. And then there's the misogyny.
