Doesnt this sort of stink of hypercritism? when she said I wont comment until I speak to my 'agent' - was what she meant - I could make some money out of this - I know if every time I speak I have The Sun logo above my head I will bask in the glory?

Isnt talking about how rubbish RB is in bed stooping to the very level that we are accusing RB of? Will RBs granfather not have to read this article and will they not be upset? Sachs has been very dignified about the whole inccident though it has to be said.

if i was a 23 y o wannabe sleb and my granddad was up for giving me a bit of a boost by playing saintly and offended elderly gent (rather than ex-comedian who hung out with the most close to the edge satirists of his time) i would be laughing yes. over my cup of tea with my publicist.

Thomcat · 30/10/2008 22:44

No I'm not it's too late, bugger.

LD quits

Yes normal.

Let's not forget that Manuel was a running racist joke. Comedy is not easy to dissect.

No, but he is a much older man in a position of much greater power gloating about his friend having basically used her, which was the tone of the whole thing. I think that makes it that bit nastier.

mabanana · 30/10/2008 22:45

Christ, I have a 16 year old. If my mum got a call from a 40 year old laughing about her getting fucked, I would call the police. I seriously would

Heathcliffscathy · 30/10/2008 22:45

did you cross posts or just nick my line mp?

izyboy · 30/10/2008 22:46

mp quite so - now I really must go to carve pumpkins.

morningpaper · 30/10/2008 22:47

She did appear in porn films. Personally I think it's a bit more horrid that thousands of men have masturbated over her image. But each to their own end of the offence spectrum.

Heathcliffscathy · 30/10/2008 22:47

no there is a huge well of resentment of jr's salary and russell brands gayness (as perceived by the very lads you're accusing him of being).

mabanana · 30/10/2008 22:47

Sophable you have simply made up a totally ridiculous situation and are now behaving as if it is true. Do you seriously now think that Andrew Sachs got together with his granddaughter and planned all this? THat they somehow forced JR and RB into making those calls & dictated the content? I think you are mad. SHe did not make this public. WHat bit of that sentence do you not understand?

mabanana · 30/10/2008 22:48

Oh right, people think Russell Brand is gay, do they? And that's what's behind it? Homophobia!

skyatnight · 30/10/2008 22:48

Sophable, I have spun that theory about it all being a publicity set-up earlier in the thread but it doesn't change anything whether it is true or not. Unless the BBC controllers were in on it (?), the broadcast should still have been stopped due to its offensive nature.

LittleBellaLugosi · 30/10/2008 22:49

Sophable please read the 1001 post thread before this and the rest of this thread.

The reasons why these 2 men are mysogynists are explained in considerable detail there.

I can't be arsed to go back through all the reasons now, must go to bed even though someone on the internet is wrong.

Heathcliffscathy · 30/10/2008 22:49

huge sigh.

ok lets start again.

JR and RB do this sort of thing all the time. they sail close to the wind. they offend. they offend all sorts of populations. RB does a lot of lad baiting incidentally.

YOU WOULD NOT KNOW ABOUT IT. your dreamless sleep wouldn't be troubled.

but for GB's publicist.

can you understand this?

Thomcat · 30/10/2008 22:49

Well Sachs has didn't ring the police and knew who was leaving the call, knew they were presenters, realises they way overstepped the mark, accepts that, doesn't want to call the police and as far as I can see is happy just to leave the whole mess alone. It's all the other fuckers not letting it go away.

LittleBellaLugosi · 30/10/2008 22:49

before i go - rb is not gay!

is he? [now very confused]

Heathcliffscathy · 30/10/2008 22:50

IT WAS A PLANNED PHONECALL HE JUST DIDN'T PICK UP.

arghhhhhhh. do you think they got his number out of the yellow pages????

tuesdayafternoon · 30/10/2008 22:51

"all the other fuckers" = the Daily Mail leading the vigilantes with the flaming torches as far as I can see

Heathcliffscathy · 30/10/2008 22:51

no he's not bella. well, he may be bi, but certainly not gay.

mabanana · 30/10/2008 22:51

And do you not understand that just because you didn't listen to a couple of peurile misogynists late at night on Radio 2, you cannot have an opinion on what they do?
There was a woman buried up to her neck and stoned recently for her sexual misdemeanors. I wasn't there. So I shouldn't have an opinion, eh? That's just a stupid argument. Especially when we pay JB and JR's salaries.

Ivegotaheadache · 30/10/2008 22:51

It was a pre recorded show, RB adn JR didn't say these things live on radio. Of course it doesn't make it better they never should have called AS in the first place, it was a terrible thing to do and I can't believe thet thought it was a good idea, but if this hadn't have been aired an apology could have been made by the bbc, JR adn RB to AS in private.

I still think GB should have just issued a statement, if she was that interested in her grandfathers feelings.
Thi sdoes not mean that I am against all women just that I think that GB was wrong too.

Thomcat · 30/10/2008 22:52

Flaming torches and pitchforks, don't forget the pitchforks.

jimjamshaslefttheyurt · 30/10/2008 22:52

No no LittleBella he's not gay. He's slept with a rather staggering number of women (was it over 500?).

morningpaper · 30/10/2008 22:52

I thought it was 5000

and a hoover

(not a Henry I hope)
