AIBU to think that James Martin seems like a nob?!?

[charlingx]

just that really. Obv I dont know him IRL so im only judging on what ive seen on TV. He just seems really rude to all his guests on the show... what does everyone else think?

It's that it's obviously total bollocks is what irritates me thorn. He's the sort who was going on about making vats of amazing stock in his overpriced restaurants years ago as the basis of his amazing food.

Who did you see with the baby oil PP - I couldn't make out who you meant!

James Martin I was only a young wee thing too, literally did not know where to look.

Just checking to make sure Sparkling had been here and posted her horrific 'pubes in mixing bowl' photo of Mr Martin.

All is right with the world.

I met JM when he was doing the Hospital Food thing.

He is as big as he looks on telly and was perfectly pleasant. Didn't seem to have a "see my sycophants around me" vibe.

Marcus Wareing is my celeb chef of choice. I like that touch of psychopath he has in his lovely eyes.

Quite agree OP - can't stand him, so no longer watch Saturday Kitchen.

Did you ever see him on that programme where he took his poncy car to, I think, Italy to race? Didn't get very far and behaved like such a sulky arse.

Since just seemed to say who I dont like I may aswell mention that I absolutely love Heston. Hes one of those that I know is not really attractive but defo wouldn't say no

squoosh the James Martin klaxon went off and i came straight over.

Jamie with all his slobbery, 'Just kiss it with the spoon,' and slagging off the British, 'Sicilians can knock up a great meal for 20p.' Good for them, why don't you fuck off there if you love it so much?

If Marcus Wareing spoke to me, I'd probably blush and giggle like a schoolgirl.

And then I'd throw you in a boiling stew pot for firting with my Marcus.

But what is going on with Marcus's hair? It looks like he applied hairspray in 1981 and it has stayed put ever since.

wowfudge your criticism angers Marcus.

Like I give a crap! Actually - it has grown a bit, around the sides.

He has a touch of the David Essex about him.

That's a slur on Mr Essex! He is nowhere nearly as twinkly as ole Dave.

David Essex is too Lovejoy-ish to be compared to Marcus.

Maybe Marcus is David's angry nephew.

I like to think Keith Floyd is my dad.

Oh my - if I'd been drinking tea I'd have spat it out in horror at that comment. Lovejoy is way more oily and had dyed hair. Didn't he? I really must go and tidy up instead of MNing every bloody twenty seconds.

Michel Roux junior. OMG yes please.
Just saying.

I think James Martin seems nice !

Mind you DH worked gor MR jr and he threw a can of coke at his head, so clearly I am not the best judge.

I used to love James Martin and Saturday Kitchen, but I come from a family of keen cyclists and I could never forgive him for his anti-cycling comments. I think they really showed up what an arrogant idiot he is.

I thought the thread was doing well to get this far before the cycling thing came up.....

I was surprised no one else had mentioned it.

I only remember it because both my mum and I really enjoyed Saturday Kitchen, and then that happened. My dad cycles a lot, and my mum cycles fairly regularly, so it was an important issue in our house.

I had never seen the cycling thing before, seems my asumptions are somewhat correct
