Not nearly as macho as you big guy. I've got to chuckle at many of the posters on here, if you have the audacity to challenge their views they get all self righteous. And worse still they feel they have to stick up for a talentless man who earns over ?6 million a year. Who says we're not obssessed with celebrity.

Of course you entitled to your opinion as am I, I think he is mediocre in the extreme, and there are far more people in the world deserving of more money in their paypackets let alone the obscene amounts he gets. Who says we're not obssessed with celebrity, god help us all if this what we've sunk to.

How do you judge what salary someone is "worth"? The fact is that we live in a society where the value of labour, services, products - in fact almost anything - is determined by how much people are willing to pay. It's a free market economy. Let's see how much money Sky offer him!


Yeah it sticks in the throat that some people earn millions, but what do you want to do about it? Would you rather have a communist "wage grid" system for everyone?

I'm not sure why your negative opinion should somehow supercede anyone's positive one atila?

As bob said this sort of thing is totally subjective (although sounds like we all agree that he was being paid too much, but sadly not a damn thing we can do about it, I used to get just as annoyed by Ericsson's wage for mediocrity in his field).


For the record I thought he was an excellent film reviewer, he helped me become genuinely passionate about cinema, especially the more alternative films when he was on channel four with The Incredibly Strange Film Show. The Jackie Chan episode was a classic (before jackie made more mediocrity in Hollywood).


I wasn't a big fan of the chat show (or the format full stop) though it was passable entertainment especially if he had genuine rapport with a guest. It was more the awful obsequious nature of the 'big name' interviews like Maddonna that annoyed me; god if ever someone deserved taking down a peg or two, or actually yet laughing at themselves, it's her. Whereas others like Dustin Hoffmann with genuine humility were actually little bit revealing and entertaining.


Obviously somewhat ambivalent then, in summary, breezes.

In that case your argument is purely one of taste/opinion... which is fair enough, everybody has one. But don't make it out to be something more than that!

Unfortunately while it may be about taste/opinion, there is more to this than that. Namely that as a society we seem to have persons that feel he deserves it and feel sufficiently moved to defend him. WTF is going on there?

Thought you said you ignored me, oh sad one.

How do you judge what salary someone is "worth"?


This made me think of house prices. The same pile of bricks that was worth ?100k 15 years back, now "worth" ?400k, because someone is willing to pay that to live there.


Like Ross or not, lots of people watch him, so the beeb must have believed it was "worth" paying him that much to bring in the viewers / listeners.


Simple as.

Oh, and this isn't a football thread, so for those who are just jumping in and making it worse, stop it.


The likes of *bob* and David are able to stick up for themselves, and if they find Atila that out of order, they can report him.


Atila, you are getting a little bit overly angry about this though, it really doesn't matter that much.

Keef - Its not about bob and David. Its about being able to read an interesting thread without it being littered with FFS and WTF etc and generally aggressive comments.

That's rich coming from a man ure fan who uses his butt hole to talk out of. Just ignore me, but you can't can you. Bless

Yep, pretty much. It's the same with most things. How else can you judge what something is worth, other than what someone will pay for it?


Whether someone "deserves" a salary or not... that's a different matter, but since when was salary correlated with contribution to society?

Erudite as ever Atila. Personally I think Wossy should be laughing all the way to the bank. On the one hand I can't stand my license fee being spent so freely on him, although I do find him funny when I watch him, on the other if they offered it to me I'd bite their hands off so who can blame him.

Admit it, you can't ignore me can you, bless your little cotton socks. Erudite enough for you?

    • on a practical level found here these have very positive feedback:   Danny - 07943 673482 joeast 12/09/23 Just had my roof replaced by Danny (mobile 07943 673482) who I would highly recommend. He is honest, clean, reliable and explained the work and sent photos as the work progressed. His initial estimate for costs was detailed and close to the actual price of the job. jamondo 07/12/24 Another recommendation for Danny here!  After carrying out extensive work on our property in 2018, we have constantly had problems  with the newly built roof.  Then followed numerous fixes and bodges by the builders then by other so called 'experts' and professionals' charging extortionate amounts and / or giving guarantees that amounted to nothing.  Lots of 'it could be this and that etc...'  Sadly our tale of woe is not uncommon. After getting a number of people to look at the roof - the consensus was that the whole roof needed redoing (it was clear that by now the roof looked a mess with multiple things done wrong or poorly).  We obtained quotes and decided to go with Danny - his was the most competitive but it was not overriding factor behind why we did.  Danny made clear what the quote covered and where there might be extra work required as he got to it (this was fairly minor). He was easy to get a hold of and responded promptly and he was also happy to offer up refences which I did contact and all were happy to vouch for him. Minor downside was that we had a bit of a wait, but it was worth it.  When work started I was kept updated with progress and photos.  Issues were dealt with, and although I'm not an expert by any means the appearance of the work was top.  Most importantly we are leak free! bonzo 17/05/25 Needed a new rear roof for terrace house in East Dulwich and heard about Danny Denton (07943 673482). Have worked with over 20 builders in the past but this guy was way the best - polite, hard working, honest, professional, informative, highly skilled and above all quoted lower than any of the others who came down to view the job. If you need roofing work I would definitely give him a call. If he's busy working else where I assure you he is well worth waiting for. He got the scaffold up and job finished in no time and kept me informed at every stage. Another roofer (who appears on this forum) gave a quote which was three times higher than Danny's.   #########################################################   Norwood Roofing 07412 000 214 Email Address: [email protected] Website: https://norwoodroofing.co.uk/ Fee163 01/01/26 Another 5 star recommendation for David and Patrick. Got in touch with David last week regarding clearing our gutters and as always he quoted immediately and came out within the week to do the job.  We've used David and Patrick for all our roof work for almost 10 years .   They also did an amazing job for my sister who is based outside the area - she couldn't easily find someone local and they stepped in and did a fantastic job (it was quite a big job).  Can't recommend them highly enough, really personable, always reliable and so easy to work with and consistent, just wouldn't work with anyone one else!  Thanks again David and Patrick. caroline5553 12/01/26 Another recommendation for David and Patrick. David came out the same day we called, had scaffolding up by the weekend and the job done on Monday. Really nice guys, never made me feel uncomfortable, easy to work with and seemed to have done a great job. Thanks, David and Patrick! sheppick 15/12/25 I would also recommend David and Patrick. David quoted immediately, and they came and did the work I needed the following week. They fixed my leaking roof and did a number of other jobs for me that were needed on the roof. Really reliable, turned up on time and very reasonable quote. Super easy to deal with and I would highly recommend.  #################################################################   Which Trusted Trader R Tredget & Son 07905829393 or 07956553852  [email protected] http://www.rtredgetandson.com/ OUR FEATURED WORKS Roofing, plumbing, kitchen installation, building, interior decorating, electrical installation, bathroom installation, exterior decorating, tiling, plastering, landscaping & carpentry 02/08/25 This is the second time R. Tredget & Son have carried out works on our property. Part of the work included the repair of cladding on an end gable that Richard had previously installed but it had since been accidentally damaged by another trades-person. I assumed I'd pay for such repair work, as the damage was no fault of his own, but when we discussed this, Richard was adamant he would not charge! Made a lovely job of the repair too. When you turn your home (or part of it) over to builders it often feels like they've taken over. Not so with Richard, Adam and Harrison. They respect your property and are willing to work with you. They keep you informed at every stage, offering suggestions and alternatives as appropriate and they don't take liberties. We are so glad to have found R. Tredget & Son builders: quality work from reliable, hard-working and courteous folks. 10/10/24 Multiple jobs complete to a high standard We've used Richard for a few years now getting our house complete. He and his team have completely refitted our kitchen, replaced ceilings, built internal and external walls, laid flooring, plastered, decorated, fixed guttering, fit skirting boards; the list goes on! They take pride in their work, and every job we've needed doing, they've always done to a high standard. No job was too big or too small for them, and I've no doubt the quality work they've done has increased the value of our house, so a big thanks again for everything they've done. 17/04/24 A Great Family Run Company This was our first time having works done in a new house so we were understandably nervous! From the first meeting with Richard and Adam we knew that we would be in good hands. Nothing that we wanted done was too much of an issue, even if it was a bit more of a challenge to them (unlike some other quotes we got!). They gave clever suggestions but weren't pushy with it and had good ideas! We had a whole new bathroom installed and then some structural work done around the house. The guys always made sure that they left the house in a clean state at the end of every day, which really made a difference to our standard of living during the works. Richard, Michelle, Adam, and H were trustworthy and communication was perfect throughout. We used some of their guys for boiler/electrics too and they were also great. Would highly recommend taking them on for your works!       
    • Bit of a long-shot, but I dropped my glasses somewhere along my run last night, after taking them off due to the rain. The glasses are Giorgio Armani with grey frames. My running route attached, so they could be anywhere along this route. If you've found them, please get in touch! 07971806292 Many thanks James
    • I'm in the middle of the civil service pension crisis with no pension for 4 months and counting. No access to the much publicised loans either. I have emailed Helen Hayes several times. It took her 6 weeks to contact Capita on my behalf but no follow up, no reply, she didn't attend the Westminster Hall debate about the issue either. Lots of other MPs are speaking and acting on behalf of their constituents but I've had no joy. Has anyone else please? What works to get help from Helen Hayes?
