OMG .. Jon Ronson's speaking voice ..

[Twiglett]

NOT what I imagined at all

just seen a strange ad on More4 with him in it

he sounds so drippy

oh gawd I'm not going to enjoy his columns any more now, cos I'll hear the weedy crappy voice

LOL, i do wish Elaine/Hester would come back and admit that the only reason i've been singled out is that he snuck around MN trying to find an email address and came up with mine. it's hardly like i'm the only person on these threads who isn't a Ronson fan.

and then i wish Elaine/Hester would stay on MN because she seemed quite funny. although she'd have to avert her eyes from any threads about her husband's columns. as will mrs euan ferguson/mr christa d'souza/mr lucy mangan/mrs barefoot doctor... basically everyone apart from Peter Paphides, husband of the sainted Caitlin Moran. he should hang around here A Lot.

sorry about my dad dying? oh no, don't fret about it. it was a long time ago, i loved him, he loved us, we were lucky to have him etc etc. he'd have been right up for a bit of internet waggery, don't worry.

Aitch the things you said probably stung more because they were funnier

Btw I can't get used to your HP name. It's v clever and all, but when I am skimming a thread, it doesn't look like you, IYKWIM

After temporarily killing the thread I went off to have me tea...
I feel really sorry for Liz Jones as she obviously has a lot of very personal ishoos (did anyone see her piece in Obs Woman about how she feels about her body?) & probably the very WORST kind of man she could hook up with is a vampire like Nirpal. Still, I could do without her (& him) regaling us with the details every 5 minutes.

was it you who went out with William Leith, scamp? him i like. i haven't read him in ages but i used to pmsl at him in the Indie on Sunday a hundred years ago. oh and Stuart Lee, i LOVED his old columns.
so, what's he like as a boyfriend? WL i mean.

you mean did he have a big wanger? [note to self - be more intellectual.]

Has anyone been keeping up with the Guardian forum discussion about this?

"I've just read some of the thread and picked up the gist, but it was virtually unreadable.

Those posters on mumsnet are barely literate. It began to hurt my eyes after a while. Why can't they post in English?"

Didn't William Leith disappear for a bit, only to make a recent appearance talking about his battle with weight ishoos?

they mean me

just because I said litiginous

it's a WORD, ok?

LOL. That's rather rude I think. Let's go over there and talk in text.

Eeek,email from the dreaded Nirpal....what a truly horrible thought. Don't think I will, as I am not trawling for loser boyfriends on the internet.
No experience of 27 week old babies, sorry. But I have to say my 37 week old was remarkably sluggish. I think 27 week olds must really need to sleep. I think both of mine slept a lot inside me at that age - just woke up with a vengeance at the first scent of air and maternal sleepiness.

ROFL

I look forward to an email barney with tosser Nirpal.

Guardian forum:

here

LOL he didn't get where he is today by being rational or reasonable Aitch

precisely my point, franny. bring back julie burchill, i say, she has a lovely speaking voice and is properly hilarious and bonkers.

but I luv his righting ok so like, whateva.

They called us FRUIT LOOPS, did you read that? Fruit Loops.I think we should declare war.
I must say it is very very boring over there isn't it?

Message withdrawn

Oh yes. But, surely we'll have to wait a week or so?

only to see if he plagiarised UnquietDad

pmsl at the 'they just want to be published' theory, eh 100x? cos none of us are professional writers, you see... oh no.
it's the old 'your just jelouse off Jade/Victoria/Jordan she a great mum and luv her kids' re-written for us Guardian-reading types.

It won't be about this - that will have been put to bed days ago.

Quite. Is there an on-going email correspondence aitch? Have they answered yours yet?
