Have we not had a discussion about this? I'm surprised.

Seedy, sordid, unfunny little men pad obscene amounts of money to be obscene.

What's your view?

Don't you want to stay until the end of the thread? Only about 30 more posts I think.

No? Ok, sweet dreams.

Wintera, my OH chants 'there's someone on the internet who is wrong' at me

clicky

lolol that is GREAT

"the paper will have dug them up from somewhere" I think the Sun dug them up from their archive from 2005 when she did some page 3 test shots.

I think they were from her Myspace page

bebo?

Facebook?

There's a lot of stuff out there I found her phone number earlier!

I mostly agree with morningpaper on this. I also think Jonathan Ross is more blameworthy in this than Russell Brand.

The public reaction does seem rather extreme, especially since Andrew Sachs himself didn't seem too upset about it. My theory is that after months of credit crunch overload we are all finding it a huge relief to have something to feel indignant about that doesn't involve the likely loss of our jobs and houses, and so are finding it all rather cathartic. Dp's theory is that the public think that Andrew Sachs actually is Manuel, and feel passionately that after years of bullying at the hands of Basil Fawlty he deserves to be left in peace.

I know I just looked

poor old thing

OMG I should have had sons

Guess what? I'm still here but I'll be gone soon! Just wanted to say I really loved that cartoon though. Am going to show my Husband tomorrow. He has gone bed now as he was sick of waiting. Night night all!

IorekMandelson I TOTALLY agree with your analysis there

What about dp's? It amused me greatly.

lololol at that cartoon.

IorekMandelson - good theory

Night Wintera

So who's going to start the Ross/Brand/Sachs/Baillie/BBC/Daily Mail mark II thread when this goes kerput?

yes his too

I can go to bed now because someone on the itnernet Was Right

at Morningpaper

So do you think it was actually Peter Mandelson and George Osborne who made the phone calls and then pinned it on RB and JR?

Cunning...

lol at cartoon and I think there might be something in your dp's theory, Iorek. (I've certainly wanted to whack Basil around the head when watching Faulty Towers. 'Leave Manuel alone!')

Jonathan Ross has a tiny penis

OMG - sell your story! QUICK!

Pity you don't work for the BBC, Peas, or you could tell everyone, including his grandfather!

surely a thread discussing matters of such national importance will be extended indefinitely?

Apparently Jonathan has a book coming out - is this co-incidence?

is now the time to mention that I do work for the............... ERK
