For me, it would the late Jimmy Seville, Cliff Richards, John Redwood, John Prescott, the Pope, Noel Edmonds and Ricky Gervais and Putin and all the Republican presidential candidates.

Sweet violets?

Down in the sewer .....

We are going off course for this thread Jeni. It needs an X-rated thread for student songs, accessible only by separate password.

(Whatsit can google references and find the rest of the words)

Kieth Lemon is the creepiest man on TV

Carol Vorderman especially when she blurts out the fake laugh

George W Bush... no explanation required

TOWIE crowd

George Osborne even before the budget

I'm new here and don't know if there's a place to formally introduce myself but this thread made me laugh so thought I'd jump in .... seems that most of us dislike the same people, particularly Blair! smile

Welcome Riverwalk. I am really enjoying this thread, glad you are too. You will find Gransnet funny, informative and supportive. But be warned - it is addictive!

Nonu Thu 22-Mar-12 12:52:35

I agree with shysal Mccutheon really gets my goat in fact I always mute it.

Nonu Thu 22-Mar-12 12:54:53

oh , I forgot jamie oliver, can"t stand him

Riverwalk Thu 22-Mar-12 13:27:18

Thank you shysal. Addiction to fun can't be a bad thing!

HappyNanna Thu 22-Mar-12 14:40:50

Can't stand Denise Welch (or her antics). She is always featured in my fave magazine (best) also Carol Vorderman and Gordon Ramsey.

nanachrissy Thu 22-Mar-12 15:27:39

Aghhh, Gordon Ramsey! How could I have forgotton him? Yuk!

Anagram Thu 22-Mar-12 15:29:13

And Anthony Worral Tomkins!

Anagram Thu 22-Mar-12 15:30:07

Ooops! Should be Thompson! blush

shysal Thu 22-Mar-12 16:03:01

Chris Evans. Never heard his radio show but couldn't stand him on TV. I am pleased that you mentioned Gordon Ramsay, HappyNanna. I thought he was considered a bit if a hearthrob but could never see it myself. I love cookery programmes but the greasy hairy bikers are a turn-off for me, wouldn't fancy eating anything they prepared.

Elegran Thu 22-Mar-12 16:05:54

Why does Chris Evans have to shout? Town criers are redundant, we now have radio and TV to carry his voice to us. Top volume not needed.

Towerhouse39 Thu 22-Mar-12 17:13:53

I forgot to include Jo Brand, Ken Loach, Adele [ though I do like her voice ], Lenny Henry [ paricularly now he has sprouted facial hair ], footballers who overdo the 'me, me, me' while ripping off their tops and throwing themselves onto the ground in front of their fans when they score a goal [ Stanley Mathews never did that ], the People's Socialist Workers and Nuclear-Free Republic of Ken Livingstone, and Sean Penn.

nanachrissy Thu 22-Mar-12 19:35:19

GEORGE OSBORNE!!!! grin

Jacey Thu 22-Mar-12 19:52:11

oh yes nanachrissy ...me too ...having watched him smarm his way through various interviews today! shock

Have been reading through everyone's posts and agree with many of them, here are mine, Slimeballs those positively oozing oiliness and insincerity as personified by Peter Mandleson, Chris Huhne, Tony Blair, the supercilious Angus Deayton, Berlusconi (how did the Italians put up with him for so long?) David Cameron. Anyone remember Hughie Green, Opportunity Knocks with his frequent "sincerely folks". Plain obnoxious - Gordon Brown, Ken Livingstone, Denise Welch and Sherrie Hewson (because they are always talking about themselves stopped watching Loose Women a few years ago when those two started to appear) Self important Windbags - Dianne Abbott, hate the way she closes her eyes when she talks in that very slow and precise manner also Harriet Harperson, both sound as if they are addressing five year olds and of course John McCarrick revolting yuk!

Aurelia Sat 31-Mar-12 21:24:56

David Dickinson
Graham Norton
Gregg Wallace
Loyd Grossman

Yuck & Bleurg!!

wotsamashedupjingl Sat 31-Mar-12 22:17:49

I like Graham Norton.

And Lloyd Grossman's curry sauces.

glassortwo Sat 31-Mar-12 22:19:29

Anyone who closes their eyes when they talk ...........

The woman who gives journalists an even worse name - Susannah Thingy - on BBC Breakfast. Can't abide her, never mind remember her name. She simpers, flutters and pouts and scrunches up her cleavage; she smiles inanely at inappropriate moments, then realises she's got it wrong, and quickly fakes a mournful look. She's never in control of her argument and when the autocue slows down, she stretches o u t e a c h w o r d because she can't work out what must come next. If only they could have hung on to Sian.

wotsamashedupjingl Sat 31-Mar-12 22:57:41

I'm going to have to watch that Specki!
