Discussing the extreme right wing political views of Norris McQuirter and Patrick Moore with my friend Susan when she suddenly said, 'And wasn't there something similar with Jonny Morris?' She noted my look of horror and distress, and then corrected herself. 'No, actually, I think it was just my friend Ann's mum who had a thing about him. Couldn't stand him. Used to go on and on about him.'
I was glad that was sorted. I'm not having those happy memories of eloquent elephants tucking into trays of iced buns tainted by fascist innuendo.
I went out with a bloke whose dad hated Arthur Negus. No, I mean really ranted about Arthur Negus all the livelong day. I mean, ARTHUR NEGUS?! A plummy rotund nonentity with a penchant for nicely turned legs. Who even had an opinion about Arthur Negus, let alone hated him?
Perhaps it's time to compile a list of real TV hate figures: not the obvious Jeremy Clarkson types, those tedious sacks of shit aren't worth the effort. No, the more reasonable and innocuous, the better. Sue Cook's just asking for it, in my opinion. Prissy christian librarian cow.

Matthew's mother has always claimed feeling severe nausea from the presence of Rowan Atkinson on television; not so much hate, but a violent physiological reaction much akin to the sensation of prolonged car sickness. Similarly Jeff Goldblum, Harry Secombe and Cilla Black.
ReplyDeleteI'm investigating if there's any connection.
Hmmm. Was Cilla in Jurassic Park?

I could go on all night but my blood pressure is rising...
by the way, the verification word for the above post was 'hating'...what are the chances of that happening...
ReplyDeleteHeed the verification word, for it speaketh sooth.
ReplyDeleteNobody likes that lot. That list makes you sound suspiciously balanced. You're not fooling anyone. I bet you secretly stick pins in an effigy of David Attenborough.
