So better not ask India Knight why she changed her name in her late teens (her own wasn't posh enough).

Colin Jackson ex athlete once gave me a bollocking in the loos at Heathrow when I thanked him for signing his autograph of his picture in the paper on a flight from Seville. He had just become world champion and I asked the hostess mid flight to take my paper to him and ask him to sign it. I didn't know she was going to wake him up.


Does that qualify as chippy or not?

I'm Japanese. Hope that explains it.

Not chippy in the true sense (chip on the shoulder) but the people that I reckon come across worst in interviews are

Keith Allen

Kristin Scott Thomas

Ricky gervais (written)

Mick Hucknall (google his This Much I Know interview in the guardian from 2006, I still read it now to raise a smile if I'm a bit glum, works every time! )

Damien Hirst in the Groucho Club was a surly faced git although he did draw a shark sketch for my daughter's 16th birthday on the back of a Groucho envelope. I also told Dick or Dom (the blonde one) off for being a twat around the Groucho piano. Name dropping....me?

Wow! He really is a complete arse. I've had a horrendous day at work and reading that interview really made me chuckle! Big thanks!

I detest celebrity culture; it's like a disease. It serves no purpose but to make us feel unhappy with our lot.


I enjoyed reading the Mick Hucknall interview so thanks for posting Hellosailor. I admire his honesty. He had an interview where he refused to play by the rules and I don't think there's anything wrong with that. I'm not saying I like him, or I agree with him, or I'd rush out and buy a CD; just saying that I admire the honesty.


This week Katie Holmes is divorcing Tom Cruise. Last week she was holding his hand in public and smiling. Everywhere you look there's a celebrity saying that their youthful good-looks are down to lots of yoga, water and good genes, when we can all see they've been under the knife and have a face-full of botox. It's all phoney. Utter bollox. So when someone (Mick Hucknall) suddenly interviews after taking a truth-serum it all seems rather shocking because it's not what we're used to.


Human behaviour is governed by a need to look good. Obviously not for Mick Hucknall. At least he's sincere.

    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
    • Oh dear, hope you are OK, I've had it three times and it was worse each time, but not a patch on many of those who got it before they vac' role out. Not commenting on the discussion as I got confused many days ago beyond the reminder that Corbyn would not compromise and the harm that could lead to him, the party and regards Brexit pre and post referendum the country.  Starmer goes too far the other way at times.  
    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to be able to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in both  my posts and other people's, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.   
    • @NewWave I know how you feel. Like you, I've lived and spent prolonged periods of time in some pretty crazy places and always thought I could handle a bunch of kids. But, no - they got to me and I was shaking like a leaf afterwards. That's what age does to us.  But I did engage with them, so bear that in mind.  My advice would be to never let anything like that stop you doing the things you love. I'm certainly not going to stop using the park, there's no way they get to take away our cherished spaces!  If you see them, just change tack and keep out of their way. My dog won't even go that way again, so that's that problem solved. (If I see them again, I'm going to keep taking photos from a safe distance).
