Hi! I was just wondering if anybody else has seen any of these strange photos of Ainsley Harriott recently? He seems like quite a nice fellow and I find it strange that he is the subject for some scrutiny online? It happened to one of my favourite poets Michael Rosen too? I'm wondering if anyone else has seen about it?! Thanks smile

What has he done, or not done ?

What scrutiny online? Where online? Google doesn't seem to know about it.

Elegran Mon 11-Jan-16 16:05:33

Has he been acting just plam crazy?

Elegran Mon 11-Jan-16 16:06:02

Windup alert!

There are some rather unpleasant (to me) Ainsley Harriott memes on the internet. I'm not going to bother looking for Michael Rosen ones...

The only recent comment I've seen is where they showed him instead of Lenny Henry on ITV news, when Lenny received his Knighthood.

Do enlighten us Plamrout.

She got you looking, though, thatbags didn't she? I though he might have been putting some nice plam recipes online (plam sauce, plam crumble, spiced plams . . .)

Plam crazy!

Jalima Mon 11-Jan-16 17:23:29

plam jam?

It beats shoes!!

Elegran Mon 11-Jan-16 17:26:15

There is probably a plam job for someone somewhere drying them into prunes (or prines if you were educated at one of the better public schools))

plamrout are you Australian?
It's just that your OP contains a lot of upward inflexions?
As do several of the posts? grin?
Just a thought?
And Australian schoolchildren are on holiday until the end of January?

Sadiesnan No!!!! shock Surely not?! grin

Thsat could be so insulting to black people.

Ana Mon 11-Jan-16 18:13:39

It's true, jingl, that actually happened.

Jalima Mon 11-Jan-16 18:13:40

Yes, it's true, I saw it too!

It's not as if they look alike!

Elegran Mon 11-Jan-16 18:20:28

Yes, Jalima! Australia! That is where they grow plams!

Jalima Mon 11-Jan-16 19:25:52

Yes!! grin
and drink wardah?

plamrout Mon 11-Jan-16 19:45:53

There has been some unusual edited photographs if him and I must say they can be amusing sometimes! I was just wondering if he is aware or if anybody else has seen them? smile

GranRout Mon 11-Jan-16 19:46:04

This appears to be the root of the problem!!!!! Back in my day i would never have expected the future generations to be doing this for fun!!!!

That link's not much use if you're not on fb...hmm
