Richard Coles embarrassing himself

[LadyBracknellsHandbagg]

Why do these mediocre men need to keep speaking? You’d think this was written by a 12 year old, who uses the word ‘baddie’ ffs? 🤦‍♀️ It’s so full of virtue signalling, ‘look at me with all these young people showing them how cool I am’ it’s absolutely tragic.

Hes not his brother so that’s irrelevant.

much like this thread

I agree. I don't think he's saying anything he needs to be embarrassed about.

He’s retired as a vicar, so I doubt it’s a church group.

How do you get that from what he says?
Genuine question.

The thread is interesting, but he's not his brother's keeper so you're right that it's not relevant.

Oh ok.
I read he is still involved with his church.
I have no idea if he actually is.

Poor Richard Cole, I rather like him.

What has his brother got to do with him? And how do you get that @ThatCyanSheepabout owning property?
And he had admitted the AIDS thing was the worse thing he has ever done.
@Needmorelegohe says it’s the film crew he is working with - right there at the beginning.

Oh, well then he might be, in (presumably?) a different/ less formal capacity. I don’t actually know, only that he’s no longer an actual vicar.
He also seems to be in the Faroe Islands just now; I don’t know if that’s where this group is?

The issue here is middle aged women not knowing how the term ‘baddie’ is used these days 🤣

I like Richard. Seems like a nice chap. I probably wouldn’t waste time pulling this apart

He says in the post that he’s making a tv show with them.

I just looked at the picture.
I didn't read the article 🙂

So a bloke is in a pub with his work colleagues who happen to be younger than him.
I have no idea what the OP is on about.
Although - I didn't read the article. Just the quote.
🤷

How embarrassing for him.

Yeah, my almost-14 year old uses it in a way that’s more a short form of ‘a badass person’ than a short form of ‘a bad character who exists to be a good character’s nemesis’.

Can’t see the problem, frankly.

He’s talking about being with a group of young people who are part of the crew making a film out of his book and the difference in their experience. Explain what’s wrong with it, someone?

He says they know/like Harry Potter but think JKR is a baddie. ‘but’ is the operative word here. He’s using it in the sense most people on this thread have understood it.

Ah…

The prose is a little pedestrian - it's like the X equivalent of sending a postcard. I'm unable to deduce any of his opinions from it, so don't understand the virtue signalling reference.

🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

I don't get the vitriol against him.

I am hoping you are right. He is one of my favourites, and has been for 40 years.

wtf

lol, I was going to say baddie doesn’t mean what he thinks it does anymore!

It does in my house!😂
