To detest most scouse celebrities

[Afroturf]

Cilla Black, Paul McCartney, Jimmy Tarbuck et al - celebrities who take every opportunity to remind us about their days in Scottie Road and all who, coincidentally, moved away from the city years ago.

What fake accents....I have never heard anyone else speak with Cilla Black's particular accent.

And now bloody Les Dennis has reared his head. God, how I've loathed him on Celebrity Masterchef - another one harking back about 'me Mam and Dad in Liverpool'. Fuck off. He was on radio 2 this morning with Rhod Gilbert and, my word, what a fucking name dropping twat. It was embarrassing.

I am not a fan.

Now I must mention that I'm from Liverpool, a city I love and live in today. I can't, however, abide these 'professional scousers' who go on and on about where they're from. Perhaps it's to try and fool us plebs that they are one of us. Again, do fuck off.

I don't want this thread to descend into an anti-Liverpool rant as my city is a very special place but wonder if anyone agrees with me. I think it's probably the fact that they come from the same place as me that I have a particular distain for them. I dare say that slebs from other parts of the UK annoy folk from their neck of the woods too.

My kids go to Chesterfield! :)

My husband won't watch anything with a Mcgann in. I quite like them.

Isn't it funny how no celeb ever exaggerates their brummie accent?? Spall and Walters excepted.
Though I haven't lived there for 20yrs , give me a pinot grigio and I can slip right back to a brummie/Worcestershire drawl in an instant. John Taylor from Duran Duran and some bloke from led Zeppelin or def Leppard can't remember which came from my home town. Robert Plant! That's him.

Neil Buchanan?

Not sure which list he should go on.

That bloke Craig that won Big Brother the first time? (I quite like him)

While we are dissing the fake scousers can I risk controversy by saying I also object to their offspring who I am convinced have benefitted from having the name, the apparently unpleasant Stella McCartney and the smug Liza Tarbuck. I'm not convinced they'd have achieved any level of success without some degree of favouritism

Neil and Craig are both acceptable. Obviously not on our Jason Isaacs A-List, but acceptable.

If Liverpool was so good, why did they all leave and buy fuck off big houses in Cheshire, The surrey of the north.

Agreed Timid

Yes, timidviper, I'm with you there. I wish I could find that story about Liza and the strap-on I read on here- does anyone remember it?

googles Jason Isaacs Of course not BOF

I don't believe anything bad about Liza Tarbuck.

Is Sean Bean's accent real?

morethan I think the majority of the twats/fake scousers referred to above have moved a lot further south than Cheshire. And there's nothing wrong with Liverpool, just some of the arseholes that are from or claim to be from there

I think so Lizzy. He's from Lancashire isn't he?

I thought Sean Bean was Yorkshire

Bit worried about the paucity of acceptable scousers here so, stretching a bit now:
Mike Myers
Kim Catrall
The parents of Lloyd Bridges (dad of Beau and Jeff) were from Liverpool
Halle Berre- scouse dad. Ditto (not sure about this one, tbh) Bob Marley's dad.

Desperate?

Sean is Sheffield through and through! But very broad for one who has been acting out of Yorkshire for years.

bottle do they like it? I did!

MoreThan I think they like to move to somewhere posher greener and quieter but close enough to get into Liverpool easily.

I like Neil Buchanon!

Is Peter Serafinowicz from Liverpool?

Afroturf.

Sorry I must have given the wrong impression, I love Liverpool. We went a few weeks ago it was gay pride weekend, we didn't go for that though, just never knew till we got there. The banana things are brilliant and me and dd went to museums, docks, shopping to the cathedral where charities were abseiling down it. It was fantastic and the people lovely.
My point was if the sleb scoucers put on the we're from Liverpool act all the time, why would they want to move. They must think they are better.
I also used to live in Cheshire, but not the rich areas.

Peter Serafinowicz went to SFX in Woolton.

He can go on the good list then! I like him.

Milandra Burrows and Tricia Penrose set my teeth on edge.

Malandra Burrows' patents are called Malcolm and Sandra. FACT.

In which case I apologise to Malandra for my poor spelling

No worries, apparently I can't spell 'parents'.

Yes, they were - had forgotten that. Had forgotten all about Malandra Burrows as well, tbh.

Like Matalan

Jason Isaacs is mine.

Pete Postlethwaite is Warrington's 'get out of jail free' card for inflicting Kerry Katona on the world

Sue Johnston lives a stones throw from me, not sure if she is Warrington born or Liverpool though.

My mum is from Anfield, Grandad was from Toxteth. Nan and Grandad moved to the leafy suburb of Lowton in the 60's when they believed Liverpool was changing for the worse. Settled in St Helens.

Grandad once pinned a young lad to the wall after the lad upset his neice, threatened to injure him if he showed his face in the street again. None other than John Lennon!

Cilla is an abomination. That clip of her in a very high cut, sequinned bodysuit with flashing nipples

As for Plastic.Scouser, mum's oldest friend born and bred in Whiston, moved to Runcorn in the 80's, I need a translator when I speak to her, it's the most bizarre accent.

Mum reckons Phil Redmond invented the Scouse accent, a true Liverpool accent is Liverpudlian apparently (and yy to getting more "scouse" the angrier she is )
