These days when your in entertainment, darling, you have to be 'really' good-looking just be considered passable.


This is, of course, in contrast to real life where it seems you only need, say, a relatively level mouth and eyes which aren't crossed in order to consider yourself God's Gift.


How many times have I sat behind distressingly repugnant boys on buses, hearing them declare eg Lily Allen to be 'ugly'. I I mean, have you looked in the mirror lately, mate?

That made me chuckle, we used to say butters when I was in secondary school (early/mid 90s), nice to hear it's still being used!

Butters is a reference to the Johnny Rotten Country Life butter advert.

Even Johnny's best friends wouldn't describe him as a handsome chap.

And also is it just me or does he emphasise the first syllable of the butter's title?

That's our Johnny, still bringing the system down pound by pound.

Sorry to contradict you AR, but I have it on the best authority from my homies that the Rotten connection is the one that is true.

Poor Lily, I think she's mighty purty and she has the shiniest hair.


My vote goes to Jarvis Cocker. Nine and a half stone wet through of pure filth.


But if I had to pick a pretty boy, I'm ashamed to say that Lee Meade (who I believe has now brought out an album and is officially therefore a pop star) made me come over all funny when I took my niece to see Joseph. More men should wear loin cloths.

Sorry to contradict you, but that saying was around long before the bug eyed Mr Lydon sold his soul to country life

I think she has dangerous looking eyes like her Dad; eyes like Jean Reno and Eddie Izzard. Difficult to explain really. Still, I used to babysit her you know. But only when she was a baby. Maybe that should have gone in the "Things you didn't know about forumites" topic. Oh well, it's out there now.

She got her record deals through hard work and word of MySpace. No, seriously. But I bet her Mum (film producer Alison Owen who produced Elizabeth and loads of others) and Dad Keith had something to do with it. Far too many famous kids of famous parents around at the moment!

Looks-wise, I think she makes a pretty good fist of what she's got.


Music wise, I think someone else makes a pretty good fist of what they get from her.


You're right about Dad though.

I guess it is unfair to call her plain actually - if I saw her in the street I'm sure I'd think she was pretty, it's just that Famousland has a higher set of standards.


Don't think her music's very interesting though and her continual presence in the papers (most recently complaining about her press coverage...hmm..) is a bit tedious. Perhaps I should just duck out of this thread!

Totally with you on Peaches Geldof, but I think Lily Allen has had some great tunes. I do think however, that it can't of hurt her having 2 parents in the business!


I don't mind Jack or Kelly Osbourne, but have huge respect for Aimee Osbourne, who wanted nothing to do with The Osbournes TV show, and seems to want to do things on her own.

Jim Morrison - now there's someone who's even less interesting than Lily Allen.

      Just found these matches!

      By Sue · Posted

      Off topic (ish) but does anyone else remember when Blue Mountain opened? They had chocolate coated coffee beans and a range of coffee beans sold loose, and I can't remember whether it was freshly baked  bread or rolls or croissants or  something else, but my then partner used to go and buy it/them in the morning. And behind the part with the counter, it was divided into several little rooms, all different colours and styles. There was another room upstairs, though I can't remember if that was open from the beginning  It was great. It went through many incarnations after that, before eventually sadly closing, but I liked the first one best. Also off topic (ish) there was a Greek? Turkish? deli opposite. My then partner bought some yoghurt there once, and when he got it home he found it was months (I think) past its sell by date. He took it back. The guy in the shop opened it up, looked at it, sniffed it and said "There's nothing wrong with that." 😂

      However, some would particularly like to avoid reviews of the 'there are far too many mice'; 'the cakes are deteriorating badly' nature. If you consider that a 'Negative Nelly' response. My experience was that the hot drinks and the varieties of e.g. teas on offer, were generally a positive element. As were the staff serving.

      Excellent Christmas meal at Franklins!

      The hare krishna restaurant is called Govindas and still going strong in Soho Street, a different establishment to the one that used to be (still is?) in Hanway Street. I must go back to Govindas some time

      How late is your Christmas Card

      By Spartacus · Posted

      Its that time of year again, past Christmas day and late delayed cards are turning up. How late are your cards arriving ?  Last year I had one delivered 4 weeks late. Can that be beaten this year ?
