Will Young, never heard an interview with him that he dosesn't come over as spikey and chippy...maybe he's uncomfortable in the spotlight but jeeeez


Ricky Gervais....foook me that bloke's insecure (although I'm a huge fan).


Come on everyone, chance for us no marks to have a pop at those more talented, rich and famous than us. Fill ya boots.

Did sound and lighting for Paddy Reilly about 21 yrs ago...RUDE MAN. Joanna Lumley is one of the nicest people i have ever met. Timthoy Spall is lovely, just like he is on telly. Micky Flanagan is a diamond geezer. Rod Stewart was rude until i got him drunk and tamed him down a bit.(drunk with my money)

Michael "Parky" Parkinson. On telly for decades reading prepared questions off a clipboard to actors with something to sell; lengthy dial-it-in career as a columnist for the Telegraph; nestled firmly in the bosom of the establishment, never out of a box at Lords or Wimbledon, but is somehow riddled with "in my dayism" and the sense that unspecified powers-that-be are forever not appreciative enough of his special brand of greatness. Chippy.




PS RosieH - Is it not that Jonathan Rhys Thingy who was Henry VIII. Tom Hardy was Dudley from off of the Virgin Queen. Only I need to know which one is chippy? Or perhaps both?

I get the gist but I don't really know what 'chippy' means. I thought it was a carpenter! The Urban dictionary wasn't much help. Can anyone oblige?


I've never come across people who hated someone they worked with more, than those at West Ham Utd FC who despised Karren Brady. My own observations were that given her 'business woman' image, she wasn't very clever in not realishing that her corporate sales team (probably through fear) were most likely hitting their targets with imaginary sales which would be credited off when things wouldn't be noticed.

Belligerent, AM.


And/or Welsh.


Think Craig Bellamy or Gavin Henson.


At first I thought the thread was about famous people in a chippy and it made me think of the time I ran into a pretty chubby Daniel Bedingfield coming out of Efes kebab shop on West Norwood High Street carrying two large doners.


I asked him if he was 'Gonna get through those' and he told me to f*ck off.


But, Daniel Craig. Great Bond, but always comes across as a prize tit in interviews.

Oh my god, you're right, Ted. Thank heavens for you. Dudley I meant, yes. Not Henry - Jonathan Rhys Whatnot gets right on my tits, stealing a living all over the show. No idea if he's chippy, but lovely lovely Dudley is. And annoyingly sixth form about being a bit "deep" too. If only I were still 14...

I think Quids is anti-Twitter, but one useful purpose it serves is that it is quite good at exposing celeb chippiness. Am not talking about understandable reactions to outright abuse, but those who are clearly unused to ever being disagreed with or challenged, especially by the little people.


Alan Sugar, although Twitter was hardly required to illustrate his incapacity to think outside of a bubble extending 6 inches from his own person, would be a prime example.


But the Grace Dent/ India Knight/ Emma Freud circle is pretty good at it too - drawing up the wagons at the slightest sign of dissension from the virtual group hug.

Yes, RosieH, Parky's never giving it the rest on the lost art of interviewing, ignoring his own hopelessness in the face of anything other than a willing act with a hatful of anecdotes. Ask Mitchum or Ryan about his interview technique.


He's had about 25 seasons, on two channels, to show us his versatility.

"You share/don't share my working clas background"

"You like the shagging, tell us about the shagging"

"Share the anecdote of the time Garbo knocked on your hotel door"

etc...

Re quids' original nominee - any reality talent-show winner who (secretly) realises they're lucky to be where they are and is scared they will be found out and so becomes fractiously pompous about their 'art' and 'persona' - (Will Young, Cheryl Cole, etc... etc...)


Any old comic who hasn't had the 'We-Love-Ronnie-Corbett' makeover (Tarby, Davidson, etc.)


...and of course that little Granty chap - all floppy hair and s-s-stuttery charm, my arse.

Where to start ?


Tony parsons / Allison fucking Pearson / Martin amis / anyone who have to front to appear as a guest on BBC Breakfast at the 0845 gravyard slot to publise their latest hapless tour/release/PA, The talent free Richard E. Grant ( "he can speak Swahili you know" - oh do fuck off ),Everyone who has ever appear on the culture show, Tom Fucking Stoppard, Tracey bastard Emin the dull as dishwater acceptable face of shit self centred art for the chattering classes... you want more ?

    • You implied he did a good job in your first paragraph when you said you would have hated to see Corbyn lead the country through Covid - the alternative being Johnson, presumably? With the results we all saw. Unite - you have a problem with unions? Who work hard to see that their members get a fair deal in their workplace? How exactly are these people and groups "all as bad as each other"? In what way? Labour "purging their party of the far-left" has given us a weak prime minister who has apparently deserted any "left" (aka caring for other people and having decent moral principles) leanings he ever had. Which is why people appear to be leaving Labour in droves and voting, or intending to vote, Green or Lib Dem. Starmer has shot himself in the foot, in my opinion. But what would I know.
    • I think you need to get a grip If it's who I am thinking of, she's a young black girl in her twenties, has braids with bright colours through them and - I suspect - works with her father. It's always the same man behind the wheel and he's older than her, always in the same van, so I'm assuming it's a father-daughter combo which, if it is, I think is rather sweet.  They hustle hard in a job that is poorly paid, has little prospects, is relentless and thankless. The fact that they have stuck it out since the pandemic says a lot about them.  I think she's a lovely girl, who's perhaps a little shy - but she'll smile or chat back if you make the effort with her. And I admire her for sticking with that job for so long. Perhaps she's just one of these people who's naturally a bit clumsy or bashes things, the same way some people are heavy on their feet when they walk. But I wouldn't dream of jeopardising her job because she closes the slams the gate and doesn't 'kiss' the ring doorbell with her fingers.  Perhaps she's being passive aggressive because you are. And perhaps she also wishes she got to spend her time worrying about potential damage to her letterbox or her gate.  As for your gate / letterbox - you're talking about hypotheticals. Has there been any damage? No. Then go and live your life and worry about it when it happens.  (apols we have the wrong person, but some of my points still stand). 
    • Greg did an amazing job! He built a cabinet in my living room and added shelving. A lovely guy and perfectionist who goes the extra mile. He really understands what you want and comes up with various options to meet your price range. Would highly recommend!
    • I love the fact that virtually everyone held their hands out when furlough payments were made yet can't equate massive debt with massive cash payments to keep the economy ticking over.
