did I hallucinate the whole thing? What IS it and why does he seem to be talking about that current poo thread?

LOL perhaps Aitch will watch it for me and tell me about it in very witty terms

God, I love David Guest. But it is a bit freaky that he keeps popping up !

FrannyandZooey · 26/04/2007 21:27

What do you love about him Oblomov? I don't really know naff all about him but he seems to be almost universally loathed on here

OP posts:
FrannyandZooey · 26/04/2007 21:29

He looks sort of normal from the front and then when he turns sideways he looks as if he has had a lot of scary work done on his face

Am I correct?

Gawd this ad is certainly making me consider David Gest for longer periods of time than I ever thought possible

Don't get me wrong, he is a very strange looking man. And a total diva. But there is something very nice about him. He is very intelligent. Quite witty. Silly in a delf-depreciating way.
I watched the Jungle bits with him in it and you couldn't help but warm to him.

Oblomov · 26/04/2007 21:35

All I knew about him before was that he was:
wierd
married to Liza Minelli
despised by the whole world, it seemed
and I couldn't for the life of me work out why he would want to go on sucha stupid programme as I'm celeb, get me out.
But as you watched him....
he was my fave in the ned.
And I never would have predicted that !

FrannyandZooey · 26/04/2007 21:38

I often like the underdog too

but not permanently in the corner of my screen

OP posts:
FrannyandZooey · 26/04/2007 21:38

why do people despise him though? Just because he is odd?

(sorry to go off at a tangent but it seems like MN Towers not that bothered about our pain )

Tutter · 26/04/2007 21:39

he claims to be 53

but his hands look like those of a 73yo

Oblomov · 26/04/2007 21:43

I'm not sure why he is despised - it it because the world is very pro wierdo alcoholic , my mother was an angerl Liza ?

And yes nailpolish, I am as astounded as you, at him and Malandra, astounded that he would stoop so low, or that she could.... kiss him ?????
Wierd !!

FrannyandZooey · 26/04/2007 21:46

Was he unkind to Liza?

(apols for ignorance)

OP posts:
DavidGest · 26/04/2007 21:49

Liza was unkind to me. She married me.

Oblomov · 26/04/2007 21:50

No , no , I was just about to post, god, I hate it when that happens -

F&Z, what I was going to say was that people hate him, because he claimed that Liza beat him, abused him etc etc.

FrannyandZooey · 26/04/2007 21:52

Oh blimey

thanks for potted history

OP posts:
DavidGest · 26/04/2007 21:53

She hit me on the back of the head with Liz Taylors' jewels. It affected my sanity.

AitchTwoOh · 26/04/2007 21:54

how's vaginica?

AitchTwoOh · 26/04/2007 21:55

(i mention this so that DG and i can chat and any suspicion franny is harbouring that i am he will be laid to rest.)

Oblomov · 26/04/2007 21:55

Hello. Why am I beeing "leered" at by DG ? I am his only fan here, or so it seems.

Oblomov · 26/04/2007 21:56

LOL aitch

FrannyandZooey · 26/04/2007 21:56

No I didn't think it was you this time Aitch

I am grateful to the person for making me laugh though, there has not been a huge amount of fun on MN tonight

OP posts:
AitchTwoOh · 26/04/2007 21:57

oh no, i am a fan. in a way. one that i can't really put into words, it turns out.

AitchTwoOh · 26/04/2007 21:58

good, i saw that mention of reviews and thought 'oh dear, she thinks it's me' and i didn't want to take credit not due me. DG is On Fire tonight, that's for sure.

DavidGest · 26/04/2007 21:59

Vaginica is a bit off. She's been gutting fish all day and it's a whiffy.

I moseyed over to another thread and found a Princess. I want her on my show. Unless it's Fergie. Everybody's had her.

nailpolish · 26/04/2007 21:59

apparently DG and liza arent allowed by law to talk about each other

in his new book he has a chapter called 'Liza' thats 2 empty pages

i wonder what went wrong

apart from having Martine McCutcheon as your umpteenth bridesmaid

nailpolish · 26/04/2007 21:59

did you know

Vaginaca is real and she has a daughter called Clitorita
