How dare they advertise Tony Parsons on the Adult Fiction board topics?

I HATE his plodding old crap.

All that shoite about the sisters and their experiences of having or not having children. It's RUBBISH.

Go away.

Thank you.

I see the words Tony Parsons and think that's why Julie Birchall is a lesbian, every time without fail he's wingey fake metroemoting blokiness is not literature it's having a moan in chapters.

Was he the Round Ireland with a Fridge chap?

ANother vote for slamming his smug face into a brick wall a few times... what an utter, utter, knobend. Without a fucking clue. I really hate men who make a big deal about how much they 'understand' women when they don't. What they mean is, 'Hey, woman, just do what I say and suck my dick and worship me, that's what feminism really means...'

midnightexpress · 18/09/2008 22:28

solidgoldbrass you said it so much better than me

Oh I feel better knowing that there are other people who feel the same way as me. It was my guilty secret (I used to work for his publishers).

Broccoli, no that's that comedian bloke isn't it? Whatsisname. Can't remember. That bloke who was n I'mSorry I haven't a Clue sometimes. Tony Parsons is that tosspot old music hack who was married to Julie Burchill.

Oh, HIM! I read Man & Boy years ago.

His Amazon reviews aren't very impressive.

'every time without fail he's wingey fake metroemoting blokiness '

Well said Charitas. He's awful.
And have you heard him speak??? Reedy, nasal and whiny. God when he was married to Burchill it must have been simultaneous auditory hell.

SummerLightning · 19/09/2008 09:47

I didn't know he was married to Julie Burchill, or that Julie Burchill is a lesbian!
Hate the both of 'em though (Julie Birchill more though, to be fair)

Marina · 19/09/2008 10:10

Could not agree more. He really is a dismal little man

northernrefugee39 · 19/09/2008 10:11

He is gahstly yes I agree.
(Julie Burchill was a lesbian, but has a younger bf atm I think...I think she's bi, but I may be wrong....

hoxtonchick · 19/09/2008 10:13

Arr, he be a scurvy dog.

Marina · 19/09/2008 10:40

Be ye partaking of Talk Like a Pirate Day, me pretty wench?

Cies · 19/09/2008 10:48

I agree. I never understood how Man and boy came to be one of those books that were popular for ages.

Marina · 19/09/2008 10:56

Him and John Farrell both Cies

midnightexpress · 19/09/2008 11:08

OK now I'm quite amused that the ad is still appearing next to this topic. I am immensely cheered at everyone's good sense.

Has anyone got anything good to say about him?

[No? Good.]
