Got to laugh - and not just because he looks manic. What a plonker!

[bhg481]

I've never yet been known to laugh at Russell Brand.

[naomi24]

Haha! It's a first for me!

[Old_Geezer]

So... it didn't work out for either party.

[woofgang]

gobby plonker turns out to be a gobby plonker.....so what else is new?

[VHG]

He (Bland) is irrelevant so please don't give him any publicity.

[douglas9401]

He's what us blue and shivering folk call a fud.

[sandyRoe]

^ That's a far better description than the word I'd have used, glipe.

[tonyav]

Div would be my word for him.

[sandyRoe]

I wonder if the writer who gave the cast of the Bugs Bunny cartoons their names was having a laugh when he named Elmer?

[maggiebee]

My old dad would have called him a galoot.

// I've never yet been known at laugh at Russell Brand.//

well you can laugh at him now !

[Hypognosis]

I encountered the word fud in a new context the other day (Elmer being the only other), as used by Sue Perkins on her programme about the Mekong river.

I don't want to ruin the fun by going into further detail, since Google searches for the cartoon character will end up finding this thread. }:-)

[Peter Pedant]

o come on be fair,

at least he didnt ring up Milliband's children and leave a message saying he wanted to go to bed with them !

[DTCwordfan]

Not that you know, though I too very much doubt that.

[douglas9401]

Cheers sandy. :-)

Sandy, a gype, I think
