Surely not Rufus Wainwright though.

Oh come on they're hilarious and adorable, musically talentless but utterly charming.

I think it's fairly obvious that I'm sympathetic with feminists but even still, one event that particularly amused me was when Jedward were on a panel show with Germaine Greer, completely oblivious to who Germaine was, when the host asked Germaine what a feminist is John said "a loser" then when...

How can you not, some of my favourites(as per decided by a quick scan of the stuff I've retweeted) -Sometimes I go shopping at general pants co just so a cool person will talk to me. -You don't have to be miserable to enjoy the Smiths, but it helps -"A baby bear is called a cub, and a baby...

grumble grumble grumble the kids these days grumble grumble.

Shocked though I am, I completely agree with you. It's not my sort of music but I can appreciate the talent, the innovation, the legacy etc of radiohead, Muse are just a nuisance.

How? He told them to f off or what? It's twitter how nasty can you get within the constraints of 140 characters or whatever it is?

Interesting to note on twitter, he seems to be the first person in like ever who people are really demanding some respect for, sniping at the bad taste jokes etc. Everyone until now has seemed to be fair game but the backlash to the jokes is fierce.

I was joking, I can't see any sort of resistance occurring from the grass roots but as in all regimes the support of the military is king and I suppose it's possible that after Kim Jong Ill carks it the myth of his immortality will obviously take a blow and his son may not have the same absolute...

Can't agree with you, I love Fry in anything and everything he does. Admittedly I think the silly, exaggerated overacting sketch style of 'A bit of Fry and Laurie' was much better suited to Hugh who is a much better actor but QI, the Secret Life of a Manic Depressive, the IQ debates, his...

What?

Not saying he's not a dick and or imbecile.

On what grounds? You've just said there shouldn't be laws restricting it, without them how can the family sue without grounds? If you think there should be a legal right to privacy which trumps that of free speech then the common law would very quickly prohibit the publishing of that sort of...

What's worse is that while we get those ones for twinings, in England that get Stephen Fry. Also, here is a good satirical sketch of Lawson by Ronni Ancona

I like taxes

I did swimming for fourteen years, yes most of them are bonkers. Yeah that. Most institute of sport swimmers will have something in their contract that their not supposed to do a huge range of stuff that places them at risk of injury in one form or another, if they get hurt in the course of...

But they wouldn't lose income. Ok perhaps an underling who went out on a limb and published that might get fired by an honourable employer but the owner of a newspaper/magazine/radio station isn't going to lose out financially by publishing it, on the contrary he's probably going to sell more...
