    Good Lord yes. According to people who have met him he is a hard faced, ultra-ambitious, nasty little shit. That is why the 'I'm just a naive, daft, fat, working class bloke who stumbled into showbiz' routine is so irritating. As phoney as they come.

    I've never understood why these people who already have a shitload of money seem happy to prostitute themselves by flogging a load of old tat on the television in order to get more of it.

    I don't begrudge them doing it if they are skint, or giving the whole fee to charity. But most of them aren't and don't.

    Although I suppose my opinion might change if it was me in that situation. I hope not but you never know until you're there. As Krusty the Klown puts it:

    'They drove a dump truck full of money up to my door for Pete's sake! I'm not made of stone!

    It always amazes me how folk can get *so* worked up by the behaviour of TV celebs. I'm afraid I don't sufficiently care about any of them, to give a toss what they do!

    Or what they think! Movie and TV stars, and lately famous athletes seem to think their political opinions are worth more than regular folk. While they live in ivory towers and have no idea the plight of the average man. Their egos are out of control, and they often alienate those who made them famous.

    Yes two things today

    James Corden and it beggars belief what the Americans see in him. The guy should have a happy meal uniform on

    Ebay sellers that cant answer the simplest of questions. I asked if some coins were aluminium coloured or brass looking coins. I needed to double check about the hue of the photograph.

    The reply I got was " I wouldnt know how to tell sorry" That was it...no offer to expand on the issue or try and help further. I mean who cant tell the difference between a silver colour and brass? I didnt push it any further as I wonder who the hell I am dealing with

    Ive had this quite a few times over the years.. very simple questions and they are unable to answer. I dont know if they are being pissy with me, stupid or just bone idle.

    Its sods law that these people have the hi fi unit Im interested in. I wait ages to see stuff and then find its being sold by an idiot aaaaargh

    True. I think it is because that they feel guilty about all the wealth they have and see it as a way of 'putting something back' or 'using their fame to do some good'. Mostly it just ends up as utterly banal and pointless, like when Cheryl Crow advised us to use less toilet paper.
