Ah yes, let's blame the Daily Mail for ruining all the fun, as per usual. :roll:

You do know The Mirror, The Express, The Sun, even The Telegraph ran anti-Ross/Brand front pages on the same day as the Daily Mail?

Is there a point behind this? I said the Daily Mail set, to me that encompasses a mindset, not simply what newspaper they read and as the Daily Mail is usually the one mewling the loudest and most divisively about stupid issues then you can use it with some amount of confidence most would understand what the term means.

If you read the paper for anything beyond your daily dose of right wing lulz then I just don't know about you.

I imagine Georgina is loving it... incidentally, perhaps viewers and listeners would be more shocked to see what Voluptua does for a living?

Saw Dara O'Briain live last night, (and met him personally afterwards) and he got it spot on. "Does anybody even know how our mortgages are? Does anybody know how much petrol is? No, who cares?! We all want to be kept up to date on day 5 of Man-gets-his-feelings-hurt-gate".
Ronnie is victorious, vivacious in victory like a venomous dog. Vile Republicans cease living while the religious retort with rueful rhetoric. These rank thugs resort to violence and swear revenge.

But Ronnie can punch through steel so they lose anyway.

I don't read the Daily Mail, Nini. To me the Daily Mail is a homophobic, slightly racist, the-world-hates-me-because-I'm-a-man newspaper.

It's a bit like when you're (or were) at school and the popular kid (Ross/Brand) is picking on the geeky kid (Sachs) in lesson. Everyone laughs at the popular kid, because they want to be seen as popular by association and it's just the normal thing to do. Then when everyone leaves school and grows up, they look back and realise what a c*nt the popular kid was.

Weren't/aren't you that geek? Must come from a familiar place if you're comparing it in such terms. A gross simplification of the issue but a familiar place nonetheless.

Haha. No, I wasn't a geek - I was posh. I got picked on because my clothes were M&S and everyone else's were George at Asda. :lol:

Mark Lamarr had a good way of dealing with Jonathan Ross which seems vaguely topical...
