..who writes moderately entertaining columns about his personal life in The Guardian. Yesterday's was about the perils of self-googling, and in particular of an episode of self-googling which returned the text 'Tim Dowling for example is a twat'

Where did he find that humbling line?? On mumsnet of course!

In the article he claims to have given up self-googling, but we know that isn't true, don't we.

Shall we give him a few more personal insights? I think he is less of a twat than Jon Ronson and he doesn't have a whiney voice.

OH MY GOD

Yes you can have Millard as Queen Twat if Amanda "no facial muscles" Holden can be her heiress apparent.

TheCrackFox · 18/05/2009 13:15

Has anyone nominated Amanda Platell for Mayor of Twatshire yet?

Boco · 18/05/2009 13:17

Have we had Eamon Holmes? He is, for example, a terrible twat.

HolyGuacamole · 18/05/2009 13:18

That Coleen McGloughlin is a twat. You can bet your arse when she has her baby, she'll write a book about it and start a programme on channel 5 or living tv to find Britains 'real mothers'.

TheCrackFox · 18/05/2009 13:22

HolyGuacamolem - you are so right. Just a matter of time before we are treated to the Rooney maternity collection, baby care book, baby clothes range and the inevitable search for real mothers. massive twat.

The twats who present the ITV lunchtime news are, appropriately enough, twats. Alistair Stewart and that smug lady

ITV news is Twatty

screamingabdab · 18/05/2009 13:36

Boco we have had Eamon Holmes, but curiously enough, i don't think he is much of a twat

squeaver · 18/05/2009 13:37

Also anyone with the surname Geldof (apart from the eldest one who seems quite sane)

Boco · 18/05/2009 13:37

I agree with you about ITV news, but not about Eamon.

All the Loose Women are twats.

screamingabdab · 18/05/2009 13:38

Sorry, me again

George Galloway, for example, is a TWAT

screamingabdab · 18/05/2009 13:39

Boco Yes, stupid reactionary twats

MumOfAPickle · 18/05/2009 13:40

Paris Hilton is uber twat and frankly am disappointed it took this long for her to be mentioned.

If we're on CBeebies now then I'm throwing Big Cook & Little Cook in the pot (fnar). I do have a theory that they met at university and had a shit comedy double act. They fell into children's telly and are now stuck. I think Big Cook runs the show and makes Little Cook keep doing it. Maybe some sort of blackmail....a deep dark secret.... Anyway, I digress. I swear there's looks of barely concealed venom from Little Cook and that smile is masking something, you mark my words

Robespierre · 18/05/2009 13:42

at loose twats.

God that makes me feel quite sad for Little Cook. Maybe he's being kept locked up in a shoebox - or some other kind of small box that has a lock! God that big cook is a twat. He can't even convincingly act 'laughter' he has to just say 'ho ho ho ho'

Twunty twat.

Yesfrimblypoo

Nasty self-regarding not as bright as she thinks twat

Allegedly

frimblypoo · 18/05/2009 13:49

ooh yes, allegedly

Bleatblurt · 18/05/2009 13:51

Fiona Philips, for example, is a twat. And a tit. And a bucketfanny.

ConfusedKay · 18/05/2009 13:53

THE HOFF, for example, is a twat!!! haha this is great!

I innocently came on here for parenting advice and i've just called someone a twat haha

Fantastic!!

Tim Dowling isn't too bad but I know he'll still be googling himself!

QueenThistle · 18/05/2009 13:55

Daily Mail is twat personified...

TheDullWitch · 18/05/2009 13:56

"Fiona Philips is a bucketfanny."

Butterball > what a foul woman-hating insult.

Boco · 18/05/2009 13:57

ConfusedKay!

You came here for parenting advice and now you will have the whole of Germany baying for your blood! The hoff is a legend.

Robespierre · 18/05/2009 13:57

Yes, I'm getting a bit about all the twat-calling (Daily Mail excepted).

I'd envisaged gentle leg-pulling of Tim Dowling. Ah well.
