Richard Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 RICHARD!!!!! Rugby World Cup? Captain of the winning England team? Now retired from play and commentating? Come out from under that stone! I suppose therefore the answer to the question would be that I'd say 'who are you then?' Or nothing because I woudn't realise that he was a celebrity Or I wouldn't see him anyway because he'd be submerged by you lot crowding round for his autograph. they say something about rugby; a game with funny shaped balls played by men. Its supposed to be funny but I'm not sure why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egluntyne Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 I have to admit to hardly watching it, so I'm not really well placed to judge - he seemed a bit too laid back in the bit I saw. He strikes me as being an idiot....and an abusive one at that. The way he speaks to her is unbelievable. Mind you she is a snivelling pain. He is ill prepared, and has absolutely no sense of urgency about him. His cookery demo was a joke. I was hiding behind a cushion.....almost unable to watch. The expressions of utter disbelief on the faces of his clients were a picture. He simply has no idea and no initiative. I imagine he can't function unless he has a senior officer barking orders at him. Maybe he can cook...but it takes more than that to be a success in the restaurant world. My money is on the twins at the mo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My money is on the twins at the mo. Here, here Egluntine He is a vile man, I hate the smug grin he does when someone goes out after the challenge bit. I can't be sympathetic to her though, she cries too much We are also rooting for the twins and we also like Lloyd and Adwoa, she has such a lovely smile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 [He strikes me as being an idiot....and an abusive one at that. The way he speaks to her is unbelievable.

I imagine he can't function unless he has a senior officer barking orders at him. . Sit on the fence why don't you eh? I can see why this couple (whoever they are and whatever the programme is - its still a mystery to me why a bell ringing rugby player is cooking something with a miserable woman) weren't on your dinner party choices.

ubereglu Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 I can honestly say that I don't know who Martin Johnson is and therefore would have nothing to say. About the forum's Martin I have plenty of things to say though; non-hurtful mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted October 1, 2007 Author Share Posted October 1, 2007 Funny isn't it? I thought he'd be more well known to everyone (Martin Johnson that is). I suppose because he was born and brought up in these parts, still lives here, played for Leicester Tigers, we hear much more about him than in other areas. Anyway, he is a lovely chap and I was too tongue tied to talk to him. He is huge - 6' silly inches, and for Kate A's information - he was wearing shorts!

Cate in NZ Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 and for Kate A's information - he was wearing shorts! Do you think that this swim could be a regular weekly fixture. I could arrange a quick trip to Leicester to lurk around a swimming pool for a rugby players legs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 what are you lot like? If I made comments about, lets say for instance Nigella Lawson's physical attributes, you'd be down on me like a ton of bricks for being sexist or something, But you can rabbit on about blokes' legs and bums (another thread about omlet shorts was quite ... well, made me blush) to your hearts delight.

Shirl Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 And there was I thinking it was going to be about Martin Lewis the Money Saving Expert . He's much more my cup of tea than a rugby player. I wouldn't recognise the other one . I recognised the name but couldn't have told you what he did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
