to be disproportionately irritated by Tony Robinson

[Cappuccino]

he annoys the hell out of me

he always has

and now he is on my MN fgs on an advert

he is irritating

Do you have to kick his arse?

I wish

Is he the bloke who was baldrick?

He does a lot of good work too re alzheimers and nursing homes..................

My mate Crispin appeared in a play with him in 1969. Apparently he was an irritating dicksplash back then. (It was Brecht's Caucasian Chalk Circle, if you are interested)

I quite like him and he is a nice bloke apparently. He is my ex's cousin but I never met him - met his mum and dad though.

rofl at dicksplash

oh I can't stand him

dressed up in historical outfits

wandering round archaeological digs like an annoying nerd

He annoys me t?oo. I'm just not sure why.

Have they ever found anything on TimeTeam?

Only that Mick Aston has appalling taste in jumpers

You know the ad is now actually on this thread? Which is kind of ironic. Maybe mentioning Tony Robinson has brought it up......

Which ad is it?

For this site

I dunno though, he is annoying but I like the programmes apart from him.
The question is, if he wasn't there would there still be (for example) The Worst Jobs In History, only with someone less annoying? Or would they not exist, or would they be presented by someone even more annoying? Or by Griff Rhys Jones, who is not annoying but risks becoming so with much more exposure.

he is vaguely irritating, yes. I find Bill Oddie the most annoying man in the world, though. Closely followed by Martin Amis.

Martin Amis wins that one hands down. But he's run a close race by Jay Rayner, telling us in the Observer this weekend that being anti-supermarkets is anti women. Because he, rather than Felicity Lawrence who wrote the book on the subject and just happens to be a woman, is by far the most qualified person to tell us women what to think.

Apologies for the OT, but I do feel better now!

Time Team, presented by Martin Amis.
Would be worth watching at least once.

Oh he is just so worthy

You know you ought to like him. But you just can't, and it's a moral failing in you.

he's a christian, perhaps you detect a slight hint of naive enthusiasm, cheeriness and a sense of other worldliness.

Is he? I didn't know that. He does look like the sort who doesn't drink.

tony robinson I mean, personally I cannot abide bill oddie he's so grumpy and just wants the limelight.

Tony Robinson, Bill Oddie & Martin Amis on the same thread. God, I feel sick....

I cannot forgive him for doing crappy vanish ads....

I love time team! But must admit that I simply ignore Tony's useless utterances and concentrate instead of trying to identify exactly what is in that blokes hat this week.

Can't stand Bill Oddie either YOU ARE NOT FUNNY BILL and that blimmin Kate or whoever presents with him deserves a good talking to, humouring him and pretending he might be sexually attractive urrgh repugnant little bead wearing twitcher that he is

Ooops sorry realised that was a bit of a pent up outpouring of hate there!

I do quite like the chemistry of Kate and Bill appearing together, ie, she clearly can't stand him

'repugnant little bead wearing twitcher' ah ha haaaaaaaa that is such an accurate description of him!@Minkus. I must file that away for future use! PMSL
