To fucking hate Nicholas Witchell?

When is this awful man going to remove himself from backsides of people who work at Buckingham Palace? He’s so gushing and fawning and sycophantic, and even his bloody voice gets on my nerves. I dread anything happening with the royals because you just knew he’ll pop up on the news like a rancid fart. Doesn’t he realise that none of them like him?

We were just discussing yesterday what a non-job NW has. He is given no facts by the royals so he just speculates. 'Well the Queen may decide to blah but on the other hand she could choose to blah". Pointless really.

@Fifthtimelucky

Basically she’s livid that she failed to get him to the altar so she could cash in on the £1.5 million house.

Not sure about that. The Daily Mail article quotes her as saying that he begged her to marry him.

She says that they split up because she wanted a third child and he wouldn't let her.

Of course he begged her to marry him. And of course she turned him down and failed to protect herself financially. It’s bollocks.

Oh god I’m glad it’s not just me who despise the Arbiters! Bloody awful the pair of them, but if they made a documentary about the Queen’s toilet habits they’d be chomping at the bit to get on it.

Great thread

The sitting on a lesbian story just makes me think of Alan Partridge Grin

And the three PPs on this thread who've met NW in real life all can't stand him- Mumsnet has spoken, that's good enough for me.

@TheFoldOx

Witchell was having his haircut in a barbers near my office quite a few years ago now. He was utterly obnoxious to the barber.

If I was the barber I'd have given him the Kim Jong-Un style..

Bloody hell, not being an avid follower of the RF and tending to get my news via radio 5 I did not realise he was still doing this job. I always got the impression he hated it but carried on for the pay check.

This thread just reminded me that me and my sister used to pretend that the other fancied Nicholas Witchell when we were younger Grin. He's your boyfriend, he is.

I bumped into him as I sped round a corner in Pimlico, late for a meeting. I was very apologetic and he was very rude to me back. He was much shorter than I expected and clearly benefitted from make up and good lighting on TV.

I used to love The Mary Whitehouse Experience. My friends used to do the same - See that dog shit on the floor? That's your most favourite meal ever, that is.

Oh he's tiny - I didn't mention it up thread cos so am I and I can't help it so neither can he. But he is tiny and also does his own makeup (not that unusual for TV presenters) but in the most alarming shade.

Christ on a train, it was one day at work over 15 years ago. I am clearly not ever getting over it. Wee orange prick.

Do tell, @Aubriella. Did you chirp ‘’Allo, Big Ears!’ in the receiving line rather than curtsying?

I called him Charles Blush
