..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

I HATE her and her emasculated nob end of an h

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.

screamingabdab · 18/05/2009 13:34

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'

Julie Birchill.
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.
