Quite, Davel!

Oh dear Nigel, can you're two year old daughter spell potato you Daily Mailtard?
Finally on the subject of Jamie, this still makes my stomach ache
[cite]Posted By: Jamie[/cite]“As it happens, there are quite a few Olivers who are a bit swarthy and have got curly hair. I suppose that may explain it.”.
Its not that hes a condecending, self obsessed, hypocritical, publicity seeking, sob story telling, moral grandad type! I just think that anyone that has to lean over at 45 degrees to put salt on their dinner is a tw*t!

I want to return to the "hated cartoon characters" part of this thread, which I think has real potential.
I nominate "Scrappy Doo" who was Scooby's cousin in the more recent Scooby Doos. If anyone can come up with a more annoying cartoon character I salute them!
(I agree Velma as a prime Would Ya as long as she kept her glasses on)

cant stand charlie and lola, bob the builders a twat as well.
Also worh watching is the 1st episode of Brooker's You Have Been Watching where we get to see a close up on his fat face as he pretends to weep about the fact that America hasn't all switched to eating salad the second he announced burgers aren't great for you. Through his snivelling he manages to gasp "when I do wot I fink is right MAGIC HAPPENS".
Magic like producing pasta sauces with more salt in them than seawater and peddling them to children.
With you all the way there Morts. Can't stand the smug little tosser, especially those cringing ads for Sainsbury's. Like so many media creations these days he's 100% fake.
[cite]Posted By: Leroy Ambrose[/cite]I think he's a twat and his recipes are rubbish....
I have no concept of his cooking skills but I agree 100% with the opening 5 words of your comments Leroy and I'm sure you are bang on with the last 5 too!
Oh the joys of tabloid culture where nobody can wait to jump on the back the celebrity.
The pasta sauce... There are a million different ways it could've happened. But it was an oversight, and they do happen. I think if you weighed that up with all the good he's done for food education in this country, including a complete reform of what was a disgusting school dinners policy, the pasta sauce is a nothing occurance.
He doesn't strike me as fake. Would it even matter if he was? He's doing something important and worthwhile. Why not direct your spit at Kerry Katona or Paris Hilton or someone that actually deserves it.
I'm with you Chunes. He's started a dialogue that needed to be started, and whatever his motivation, that can't be a bad thing. I'm a fan of his, and any chefs that seek to make cooking accessible and understandable to the masses. Sure he's made a lot of cash, but isn't that the reward for building the proverbial better mousetrap?
Frankly, I don't think him packaged at all. I'm always finding myself amazed that he isn't more polished, given how much he's been on TV over the years. I find him genuine. Some may find me naive.

Well I suspect it was caused by adding a shit load of salt. If he doesn't know what goes into the products he shouldn't put his gurning fat face on them. If he wants to create grossly unhealthy product he should not be playing up to an image of being a food-health campaigner. I'm astonished that he's getting so much credit for bringing a health message to the nation's darling kiddies. If someone need a slobbering half wit to tell you burgers are bad for you and eating more veg is better, then the gene pool is maybe not the best place for them. The fact that he attempts to profit from his food campaigner celebrity by peddling nasty products demonstrates exactly how much empathy he has with the plebs he pretends to care about. The fact that he also can't see the point of voting because he's too important for the likes of him, just hammers this home (maybe encouraging the people he pretends to obsessively care about to vote for a party that has the most clear healthy eating agenda would have been an idea??).
He's an OK TV cook very adept at exploiting his image in order to profit from the foolish. I've got no
issue with that. The fact that he's painted as a saint along the way is what is irksome.
Comments
(Ps. It's gonna rain today - you mark my words)
I was talking about Jamie Oliver, re-inforcing my detestation for said fellow.
I was wondering when someone would point that out, the fecker clearly spits as he talks (I'm talking about Jamie Oliver again)
He's only a chef not a mass murderer.
Loving the Sainsbury debate. They sell foreign wine as well the B*stards!!
What you all need to do is to tune into Danny Baker where he has a phone in for people to say which cartoon characters they hate.
Someone rang into say Bill and Ben, others have said Trumpton. Someone even said Velma in Scooby Do when we all know she should be a Would Ya.
Now Barney the Dinosaur - I f******** hate him
Jamie in tears because Americans are fat
The comments beneath it are as wonderful as ever:
Quite, Davel!

Jamie pretends he's part black to get the ethnics onside lol

Sportacus from Lazytown annoys me. He spends so much time trying to impress Stephanie that he's just forgotten who he really is.
At the other end of the spectrum, Daddy Pig (father of Peppa) is my role model in life.

Was going to correct your post - but to each their own I suppose.
