    He's a really intelligent, funny and perceptive bloke underneath acting like a vain arse. He used to write a great football column on Saturdays in the guardian

    I'll look out for more of his stuff. Didn't realise that he was acting when he was being an arse. Johnny Vegas style?

    Can't stand him. One of those people that I could just stand there and constantly punch him in the face, but, he showed there how intelligent he really is

    Did you ever watch Russell Brand's Ponderland? I always thought he came across intelligent there too - and funny.

    He should give up the "comedy" and become a journalist.

    Yeah, pretty much. I used to have a similar view of him as Doddy, couldn't stand him and thought him a total nob, but when I started reading his columns his humour and intellect won me over. He's often really self deprecating, but when you see him in bursts of mainstream tele his ego is going supernova and he's mainly just obnoxious. Shame really.

    It would have cost me too much money in constantly throwing the remote at the tele. I just can't do with him. He's about as annoying as a dose of clap, or Eaststand Lower

    Tbf, it was because she didn't want to settle down and have kids, it wasn't actually because he was a man slag this time. He talks about having kids and being a dad quite alot in his interviews.

    So so far we've had Billy Bragg, Morrissey and Russell Brand, the UK's real intellectual heavyweights.

    Yeah I know!! :D But it turns out my fiance doesn't agree with the whole if you meet a celeb you should have a free pass thing ;) I totally would let him with his choice of never going to meet celeb but he's a no go. (He seems to think I will hunt Russell down and that he would agree to it).

    "If you behave like there's no such thing as society, in the end there isn't."

    Nicely put.
