Who makes your flesh crawl?

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.

I have to agree with all the names mentioned and I could probably add another dozen or so but I simply switch off and listen to the radio where nobody makes my flesh creep.

John Suchet on Classic FM. He comes over as being extremely obsequious though I used to like him when he was a newsreader; and Colin Firth who needs to lighten up. Also Naomi Campbell with her newly acquired mid-Atlantic accent.

I did not intend to refer to TV personalities only - politicians have a much more damaging effect on our lives!

Ariadne Tue 03-Apr-12 18:36:37

Most politicians!
Michael Winner.
Jeremy Clarkson.
David Cameron
Michael Portillo
Sarah Palin
Mugabe

We have already put forward a lot of politicians, Greatnan!
I think all Ariadne's suggestions have come up (apart from Mugabe!)

Ariadne Tue 03-Apr-12 19:03:05

Oh, OK! Just catching up.

Anagram Tue 03-Apr-12 19:10:02

No criticism of you, Ariadne! blush
I was just wondering how Greatnan had missed all the politicians we hate!

Greatnan Tue 03-Apr-12 19:16:11

Perhaps I misunderstood Blossomtime's post - I thought she meant she switched off the tv because people on it made her flesh crawl. I'll get my coat. smile

Oh no, don't go, Greatnan! There have been enough misunderstandings and ambiguous postings recently - I think we're all a bit on edge!

jeni Tue 03-Apr-12 19:48:19

Well I'm thinking of resigning or whatever you do!

Greatnan Tue 03-Apr-12 19:49:46

Don't worry - I have the hide of a rhinoceros! You don't get rid of me that easily. grin

greenmossgiel Tue 03-Apr-12 19:50:49

Resigning jeni? confused

nanachrissy Tue 03-Apr-12 19:53:40

You can't do that Jeni! I may need to borrow your stethoscope and scrubs again (I rather enjoyed strutting around in them) grin

jeni Tue 03-Apr-12 19:56:44

I'm feeling rotten! Think this must be man flu rather than a cold! And above all I feel I'm being got at.
I joined gn for fun, which I must say I've had. But at the moment?

Anagram Tue 03-Apr-12 20:12:10

Jeni, got at by who? (Should that be whom? I never know...)
I haven't been here long, but you come across as kind and generous, with a good sense of humour - don't let a lone member with a possible agenda drive you away!

jeni Tue 03-Apr-12 20:21:54

Whom, I think. I'm probably being over sensitive! I can be sometimes and I'm definitely overtired as the cough I have got with this bug is keeping me awake!
Everybody I work with says I've got a GSOH, but, at the moment it seems to have gone AWOL.
I really don't understand the accusation of being a bully and it has upset me, silly I know, but that's me!

bagitha Tue 03-Apr-12 20:44:37

Best to ignore it, jeni, and move on. Quite a few of us have had sticky moments on GN and come through feeling stronger. I'm sure you will too when your cold stops troubling you. I don't think hurts were meant by anybody but there were some misunderstandings.

jeni Tue 03-Apr-12 20:45:36

Thanks dear baggy!

bagitha Tue 03-Apr-12 20:53:31

Hope you feel better soon. Stinking colds are the pits!

jeni Tue 03-Apr-12 20:56:54

It's the cough more than the cold!
I will survive!
(now who sang that?)

greenmossgiel Tue 03-Apr-12 20:59:22

Most of us I think, jeni! grin

Butternut Tue 03-Apr-12 21:01:21

Me too! Well said green. grin

jeni Tue 03-Apr-12 21:04:11

Well thanks all, I'm taking me and my cold to bed! Work again tomorrow,
Goodnight all[moon] emoticon

Gloria Gaynor - I used to love to dance to it.

Ariadne Tue 03-Apr-12 22:06:01

You look after yourself jeni! And don't be sad. (((hugs))

Night night, all.
