Hugh Fearnley blardy whitteringon with himself in the Guardian

[nigelslaterfan]

AIBU to be irritated by HFW in the Guardian mag taking 10 people on a freebie skiing holiday in a gorgeous Alp chalet somewhere and making a cake and a blardy fondue and presumably claiming the whole bloody lot.

I mean nice work but bugger off Hugh and your free holidays!!!! Can't he afford to just pay to take his family on holiday?

Bitter'n'twisted

I hated that whole issue of the Guardian magazine. Particularly the interiors piece:

"Designer Gill Richardson did not think twice about what to do with the small anteroom at the top of the "old, squeaky staircase" in her Grade II-listed Bristol Georgian townhouse"

Gosh, must be terrible to have to think about what to do with one's Grade II listed Georgian townhouse, doncha think?

[not envious at all]

agree-very smug and annoying feature

I mean why don't these rich people have any shame!!!!

does anyone else hear his voice in their head when they read his stuff?

They are jammy cunts and no mistake!

What about documentaries - they are a massive holiday bonanza for presenters. Even the maths documentaries commissioned by BBC4 end if with the presenters travelling the world, just so they can stand in front of, say a Mayan pyramid, whilst talking about their calendar...

...in our house, as soon as the presenter starts saying eg. "and what could today's scientists learn from the construction of Angkor Wat?", a great chorus goes up saying "I WENT TO CAMBODIA TO FIND OUT!".

Try it next time you watch a documentary...sometimes they can jetset to about 5 different global locations 'to find out' something that they probably Googled before they set off.

Yes...bitter and jealous, me!

i would be quite alarmed if, upon visiting a charming listed house, i found my smug host necked and bathing at the top of the stairs.

smug c*nts put in their place

actually, I do too, he has a lovely warm posh voice, I like it, I'm just jealous is all..... That massive table of people on a holiday for NADA, surely he'll have got that whole thing for free?

I guess to take that many people skiing would cost how much? 10 grand? I don't know....

still
dissing him on here hasn't made me feel any better

no, he will only have been paid for the article. does that make you feel better?

lol lol lol EleanoraBuntingCupcake

ru you sure? Don't they get a gratis vac for having lovingly pictured the chalet etc?

well they have to fill the pages somehow don't they .... also hated the issue, it was like something I might have picked up in a dr's waiting room in 1978.

"You can come out when you can properly explain the differences between Modernist architecture and postmodern ornamentation."
very very funny!

Also have you seen Jennifer Aniston quoted in the new Arch Digest, she's remodelled her home and sounds so pretentious going on about it.,

I was a bit concerned about the amount of cheese in the recipes myself

smug cheese chomping bastards

I find all of these sleb chefs excepting the Hairy Bikers utterly annoying and smug.

Elenora is right,...he will be going on holiday anyway and has sold an article off the back of it... honest!

yes hope their smug arteries choke on it!

would love to read aniston article does she 'source' things

don't get freebie anything these days, infact they want freebies

I'm a sleb chef (in my house, anyway)

actually i just wish he'd take me ski-ing and cook me lots of lovely dinners

in fact sod the ski-ing

Brad's into Architecture isn't he?

hahahaaaaaa Eleanora, that is geeeenius

...why are so many of them standing in their doorways, looking as if yearning after the Outside World?

Free trips for travel features are indeed a lot rarer than you would think...

yes she is luring him back with her post modern deconstructive ways
