Why are Americans OBSESSED with teeth?

I do make a lovely cup of tea, though. I think I'm going to make myself one now, if my teeth don't all drop out on the way to the kitchen.

Maybe because they have to laugh at just about everything so they need to show off some good teeth.God knows.

You don't necessarily need teeth to make your tea, do you? I imagine you can 'gum' it pretty well Pookie.


Ah, in that case, I'm proud of my halitosis.

Now for that tea. Nice and milky.

Eating cheese? I thought the French/Belgians had dominion over that?

And, really, the Chinese/Japanese are the best at actually MAKING tea (they have a whole ceremony!) Brits are just best at drinking it.

Russell Brand, by the way, has lovely teeth. Very white.

Getting back to Russell Brand, I normally watch the Brit Awards on TV, but the fact that he's presenting is enough to put me off this year.

the Irish are pure obsessed with tea also and they brush their teeth with sticks and soot hiding in a press under the stairs in living fear of been caught.

Funny that. When XFM got bought out by Capital and moved from Camden to Leicester Square, they put Bob Geldof on as a DJ. It was appalling.

I happened to be walking through Leicester Square one day and foudn myself in the middle of the protest that some devoted listeners had organized.

There was a fairly sizable group of people standing outside the capital FM building, pointing upward (toward the studio where Geldof was presenting) and chanting (football style) "BOBBBBBB'S A WANKER! HE'S A WANKER! HE'S A WANKER! BOBBBBB'S A WANKER!"

I joined in. It was quite a larf.

I think Russell had been fired from XFM by that point...

comedy! from the country that brought us carrot top.

Pookie 01.28.2007 05:58 PM

Just for the record, my opinion has changed.

Saw a live DVD and love him. Very funny.

End of bulletin.

Hip Priest 01.28.2007 06:01 PM

Welcome to the movement, Brother Pookie.

He was pretty good tonight.

Pookie 01.28.2007 06:12 PM

It's a good feeling.

Each time I tick the "like" box and unick the "dislike" box, I feel a little happier.

porkmarras 01.28.2007 06:23 PM

Glad you saw the light and thanks Hip Priest for having faith.We're obviously ahead of our time.

I watched him "act" in Forgetting Sarah Marshall and enjoyed his performance quite a lot. First time in my life seeing him do something other than being the matter of discussion on this board on different occasions.
Go figure, we're way behind over here.

blunderbuss 10.28.2008 07:00 AM

The guy's a total twat.

ALIEN ANAL 10.28.2008 07:52 AM

good looking fella he is

PAULYBEE2656 10.29.2008 10:08 AM

brand is funny but there is too much emphasis on cock juokes. his writing shows he is a highly intellegent guy and really could do without his cock jokes....

seemingly he is intensly shy and self decaptivating (thats not the word is it?)

anyway, andrew sachs must think he is a prick!! they are now banned off the radio until this stupid publicity crap is done..

200 complaints initially, 2000000after it went public..... ha! bbcs fault!

PAULYBEE2656 10.29.2008 12:59 PM

RUSSELL BRAND JUST RESIGNED FROM THE BBC......

radio tv everything...
he has gone and said fuck the bbc for covering their own arses... not his words but thats what i can read into it...

pbradley 10.29.2008 01:22 PM

I don't know who this person is.

Did anyone see Rory McGrath on QI the other week? I was astonished to see him going head-to-head with Fry without the aid of cues. It's a shame that he comes across as a twat the rest of the time, because he was genuinely very witty on this one ocassion.

On the Brand furore - he was kicked off of XFM a few years ago for, if memory serves, smoking crack and inviting homeless people into the studio. His career was meant to be over then. I'm sure it won't make a sot of difference to his career.

And, personally (at this moment in time) I think he's capable of being funny, but has a terrible habit of indulging his own prickery.

This Is Not Here 10.29.2008 05:11 PM

I strangely warm to Johnothan Ross, though all evidence points to him to being a mega-douchbag. Probably why he's had a career this long. Brand can go west as far as I'm concerned, he plainly isn't funny.

ruinedbyharps 10.29.2008 06:25 PM

I thought he was funny once. Then someone told me he was a comedian and I felt let down. Like yeah, but he's not THAT funny.

NWRA 10.29.2008 07:51 PM

It wasn't as though this prank was any cruder than what they usually do on their TV/radio shows. It's just that The Mail didn't have anything to support their usual 'country is going to the dogs' Sunday story, stumbled upon it and decided to make it their headline (even though it was ten days after it was broadcast). It wasn't motivated by genuine outrage.

Indeed the public reaction isn't motivated by genuine outrage - it's more become a lightning rod for other issues such as anger over Ross' pay deal, Brand being on TV all of the time (he's overexposed; I'd like to see him return to stand-up).

It's all rather inconsistent. Why is The Mail rushing to defend Georgina Baillie? She is part of a goth/vampire/Burlesque stripper-group that The Mail would usually condemn. The moral compass is being shifted out of convenience.

I'm glad this has happened (I dislike Ross' humour, his fawning over celebrities, his nob jokes, his interest in Japanese toys - and Brand will survive anyway); it's the right thing for the wrong reasons.

I saw Kelvin Mackenzie give his view on the news this morning, decrying the sheer baseness of their actions. This is the guy behind the 'Gotcha!' headline at the sinking of the Belgrano during the Falklands Conflict: now that example of schadenfreude removes his right to take the sanctimonious highground on any matter, the cunt. Sums it up, that.

Andrew Sachs grandaughter is certainly milking the story for all she can get. I'm off to the bookies today to see what odds I can get on her appearing on some "celebrity"-based reality TV show during 2009.

sarramkrop 10.30.2008 08:44 AM

I got bored of him. I don't even watch tv anymore, so I don't know what he's up to. What is he up to? I've seen his face on the first page of a newspaper when I went to buy some milk.

I still can't stop laughing about those bands names, every time I think of them.

MellySingsDoom 10.30.2008 09:43 AM

sarramkrop - Those band names are so ace, it's untrue.

In other news, the powers that be at the BBC are meeting to decide whether or not J Ross gets the chop.
