Tim Dowling, for example, is a twat

[Robespierre]

..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.

RP almost gets off on the fact that we will all be living in yurts and looking for food in the rubbish dump this time next year.

Ainsley Harriot, for example, is a twat. He really is.

[NorbertDentressangle]

There are more twats than I care to mention (or, indeed, have time to list) but Tim Dowling isn't one of them.

I think I have a bit of a soft spot for him but can't quite work out why.

[stuffitlllama]

Jeremy Vine is not that much of a twat

Nicky Campbell is a big twat, a really big twat

[pointydog]

right, I've googled. Yes! Peston is a fine example of a twat.

Who's the northern bloke, then? The good one?

[stuffitlllama]

pointy ..evan davies? he is not any kind of twat

[BitOfFun]

Moondog - love the goatee image...

[policywonk]

Robert Peston is very nice

[policywonk]

pointy, you mean Paul Mason. Good blog (Idle Scrawl).

[pointydog]

Evan, that's it! He's lovely.

If you're a pal of Peston, wonk, ask him what the fuck is wrong with his intonation and his pauses in sentences.

[pointydog]

I don't know rayner either. I'd like to see his goatee

[stuffitlllama]

nicky campbell is a good example of the patronising twat

[pointydog]

argh! Not Evan. No no.

Paul Mason, thank you, wonk. He is good.

[Hassled]

Evan Davies is not a twat but he does scare the children. He looks like some mutant offspring of the devil.

(or is that Jay Raynor?)

[stuffitlllama]

somebody agree with me about nicky campbell

tell me I don't shudder alone

[Ponders]

wonk, RP may be the kindest & loveliest bloke in the whole of the BBC but he gets over-excited about financial disaster & his delivery stinks.

Get him off to psychotherapy & elocution, there's a love.

[pointydog]

Evan has the ears.

[pointydog]

Mason is just a bit spongey

[Ponders]

Nicky Campbell is the twattiest of twats, llama

[stuffitlllama]

and the grin

[TheCrackFox]

Nicky Campbell is a twat. You are not alone stuffitlllama.

[pointydog]

I am not terribly familiar with nicky campbell, stuff, but I beleive you

[stuffitlllama]

thank you ponders

every time i hear his voice i want to say

oh shut up you big TWAT

[BitOfFun]

Oh yes, stuffit, you are quite right.

I can't believe that at the beginning of this thread I couldn't think of a single twat. Now I realize they are everywhere
