Ho ho ho I'm afraid we have to plead guilty to parking an aged jag outside The Gowlett whilst wolfing down pizzas, though the jag is of the incorrect vintage for your purposes Snorky.

Although it isn't that clear from the post - I think PGC is quoting a Telegraph interview with the dreaded J. Nesbitt.

Some friends of mine used to have a photo of a business rival pinned to the office wall, so that they could throw darts at it.


Perhaps someone can dig out an image of said Mr Nesbitt, and we could toss our virtual darts towards his nether regions? It could have health benefits: getting rid of excessive stress.

Maybe people could put some more background stuff in their posts.


Along the lines of saw....Sean Connery in .... Dr.Boos....he was giving out their refund policy on shower gel...


That sort of thing.



Ps - I did see someone famous today, but it was v boring

Oh, go on. Boring or not, tell us who it was.

Oh her. I?ve seen her in Sainsbury?s. Sainsbury?s I say! I thought slebritees had all their meals at Gordon Ramsay?s before going to some fancypants night clubs where they tip illegal immigrants ?100 per nostril for blowing cocaine up their noses while they quaff vintage champagne. What would they want in Sainsbury?s?
It is beginning to look as if poor Ms Ford is to replace Mr Nesbitt as the EDF's favourite thespian whipping person. I know neither of them personally and have somewhat mixed feelings about their respective Teevee performances. But personal remarks/insults? Haven't we been here before in Another Thread about a certain shopkeeper in LL? Play the game people!
Surely we are allowed to have views of either like or dislike for a "celebrity" after all that is what they are there for. It's not like it's possible to damage their "image" (they are more than capable of doing it theirselves) or in the case of shop owners, their business.

>>u saying that she wouldn't be likely to read a snippet in a mag of a similar nature about herself? :-| >sheesh you become a celeb u take the comments that go wiv it *sighs*<<


Oh come on! There are "celebrities" in the modern form - Kerry Katona, Katie Price, anyone who ever appeared in "Big Brother" etc etc - who are talentless and whose whole raison d'etre is appearing in trashy magazine and crap chat shows. They are in reality probably not as famous as they like to imagine they are.


And there are those who have merely become "famous" at some point in their lives - like Nesbiit & Ford - usually on merit (ok, "merit" can sometimes be quite broadly defined in this context).


I am sure Ford & Nesbitt can take the sort of comments that occasionally get made on here. Their acquired thick skin is not the issue. I just don't agree it is acceptable to be gratuitously rude about someone and use their fame as the justification. Personally I don't think anyone should post any comments in here about a local person they would not hesitate to say to their face...

    • I think it's a good idea and follows the example of other towns/areas. As it says in the article, the area around the main tourist attractions in Southwark, that is The Globe, Southwark Cathedral, Tate Modern and the whole walking route from London Bridge to Blackfriars, takes a lot of maintaining and it shouldn't be a burden on regular council tax payers like us.
