Annoying celebs

....so was Russell Brand. 🤮

He is.
I think he was voted as some sort of sex symbol at one time, too.

MissAdventure

How about Noel Fielding?
Do people like him?
He makes me a bit unsettled for sone reason.

Me too. He’s extremely odd.

Angela Scanlon. I can’t bear to watch her or listen to her.

Why is Paul McCartney an ignoramus?

He could write a damn fine tune.

Apparently, he didn't write them down as he cannot notate music, that is why he is an ignoramus with an IQ of 1367 ad a fortune.

He plays by ear.

😁

Its got no tune to it!
It's all on the same note.
I absolutely hate that song.

But what about Murder On the Dance Floor MissAdventure? Surely you're not including that? faints clean away at the very thought

I think it would take a person maybe about an hour to learn to read music. There is a ridiculous snobbery attached to it. It's no big deal.

I don't think anybody who came up with a song like Blackbird Singing in the Dead of Night could be called ignorant.

Ooh Sophie Ellis thingy.
I can't bear her singing, either.
I'm al cross inside now.

Oh oh don't like Sophie Ellis whatsit either!
I used to love John Noakes, and the man Johnny Morris(?) who was on Animal Magic.

Oh dear I must be such a misery. Mention was made of Noel Fielding - yes, aaaagh!! I hate the way he dresses and his hair and make-up. Looks odd and I find him highly annoying. I think he’s probably a really nice person though so not sure why I take against him. His gentle nature belies his strange looks - sorry I sound very judgemental but it’s probably irrational what irks us. People probably find me irritating! Also, Sophie Ellis Bextor annoys me with her “chewns” (tunes) and “fabulous sounds” on the radio. I saw her on Interior Design Masters once and I quite warmed to her then but I can’t listen to her on the radio. It is interesting why we take to some people (those we don’t even “know”) and not to others. There’s some psychology at play there.

My next door neighbour was cross about that last year.
She said as soon as the childrens legs started peddling, their mouths started screaming.

Agree with all of those C'mom. I will add on Alex Jones and Huw Edwards (even before he was convicted). I am so pleased that I no longer have a television. Yes, why do all those women have to screech and scream? I have also noticed that over the past 20 years or so, children no longer just laugh. They scream. No wonder adults find them so annoying.

I really can't stand Alexander Armstrong. He comes across as someone who thinks he's more intelligent than everyone else. I did read on another forum about a couple who appeared on Pointless, who said he completely blanked the contestants when the cameras were off and they were told not to speak to him unless they were spoken to fitst. Sounds like someone with an ego problem to me.

I am beginning to get exasperated by Anna Hough on Masterchef. Why does she do the over the top eye-roll every couple of minutes? She looks ridiculous and a bit manic. However I do like the programme and am beginning to warm to Grace Dent.
One of our local weather presenters is one of my husbands pet hates. She is in the Midlands, is a little overweight(no shame in that), but has an insipid grin and wears such clingy dresses, does not flatter her at all...

Who cares Dottydots? No one, including celebrities, artistes, politicians or the man on the 49 bus, will be liked by everyone. Some will be liked more than others; some, as is evident from this thread, almost universally disliked. And that's ok because, as humans, we make a judgement call on pretty much everything and everyone we come across; sometimes known as "gut instinct"; it's there for a reason.

wouldn't

I'm sure they would give a monkeys about what a group of old folk think of them.

Oh dear, I hope that none of these celebrities goes on Gransnet. They wouldn't be very happy.

Just realised i wrote "thuk".
Could have been worse, i guess.

My daughter loved Noel.

I'm just a miserable old cow, i thuk. smile

Not at all; what's funny/humorous is very subjective; it's what makes us unique! I thought that Noel Fielding was a bit whacky, alternative, quirky in Mighty Boosh and it certainly seemed to suit his niche persona. But that "niche persona" just comes across as idiotic, try-hard and ridiculous in something as mainstream as GBBO.

^How about Noel Fielding?^

I liked him when he was in the Mighty Boosh but something about him seems to have changed once he became more mainstream. An underlying creepiness I think.

I wasn't a fan of Boosh.
I never really "got it".
I'm just a miserable old cow, i thuk.

I haven't, but i don't think I'm keen on her anyway
I'll have to have a look.
