to cringe every time I see Jamie Oliver chomping really loudly ...

[estuardo]

on sausages, asparagus, whatever...in the Sainsbury's ads?
Can't he make less noise and keep his mouth closed?

Yes, I can't watch him, I wish he'd set a better example to children. If you watch most adverts with people eating it's open mouths, elbows on tables, cutlery in fists... you've hit on one of my pet hates here.
To go back to Jamie, there is nothing about watching him snuffling his way through a bit of asparagus that inspires me to shop in Sainsburys.

He's so rude. He talks with food in his mouth, licks fingers and worst of all, doesn't close his mouth when he eats. Yuck.

Cutlery in fists is my Number One Pet Hate.

Why can't people hold their knives and forks correctly??? They are not gattling irons*! Put the base in the palm of your hand - It's not difficult FFS!!

*whatever they are.

And breathe.....

I wouldn't be able to eat anything Jamie Oliver cooks as he spits when he talks. I would feel sick imagining little bits of Jamie flob in my food.

I don't think I coul bring myself to eat with him just from the way he pronounces "choclit" instead of "chocOlate" over and over again.....

lolapoppins, that just made me chuckle, I may have even got blackfly flob on the laptop.

I hate Jamie Oliver, the nobnose.
It's the munching on the sausage and the "mmm" snaffle snaffle "mm" on the advert that really turns my stomach.

thank goodness it's not just me

and those sausages are just out of a hot greasy frying pan - has he got an asbestos palate?

Rasputin I love his enthusiasm but his manners are terrible

I've only seen him a few times, mostly a few years ago. I was astounded to see how sloppy he is with food and his lack of table manners. He seems to have a heart of gold, but why haven't his people tidied him up a bit?

I quite fancy him

He is kind of like a friendly,bouncy puppy dog. Cute but a bit messy lol.
I am a Curtis Stone fan myself. He has such nice t-shirts.

I love Jamie, and won't say anything against him!! Surely the worst lip-smacker and chomper is Valentine Warner (shudder) makes me feel physically sick to hear him chomp, those big ole lips flapping around!

You know the way Jamie pronounces the word "wafer" as "waffer"?

Is he doing that to pay homage to Monty Python's Mr Creosote (sp?)?

Or is he just thick?

much too much spit going on.

And I've seen him with very dirty fingernails, too.

he also called someone a 'spas' on the radio the other day, oh yes he did

Ooh Helena you beat me to the dirty fingernails.. Yuck!!!

haha, who cares?

Ds1 has just pointed out that in the latest Sainsbo's advert Jamie gets completely out of breath walking 100yds over a field.
