Jonathan Ross - Hurrah......

[flip_flop]

......next month Jonathan Ross will be back on our screens and on our airwaves following his absurd supsension.

I can't wait.

The only reason for listening to the radio equivalent of beige was JR on Saturday mornings, so thank gawd he'll be back soon.

No doubt those who went out of their way and listened to the extremely funny broadcast of 18th October just so they could be 'shocked' and 'disgusted' following The Daily Pernicious whipping up an unwarranted frenzy, and even worse those sanctimonious lickspittles who didn't even bother going out of their way to be 'shocked' and 'disgusted' will no doubt be nasally whining in January that "I pay my licence fee harumph harumph harumph....."

Well I also pay my licence fee, and I for one am glad that his enforced exile will soon be over.

Yay or Nay?

[tiggerblue10]

Well I'm glad Wossy's coming back.

The whole thing was taken out of complete proportion. Especially by those who had never even heard the broadcast. I couldn't give a monkeys what anyone else thinks, Russel Brand is brilliant. I love his Ponderland.

[Aprilis]

Well it's a yay from me flip_flop. Couldn't give a tinker's cuss what anyone else thinks, I like Jonathan Ross and I enjoy watching Friday Night with JR.

[Ethel]

That just about sums up Woss and his fans - doesn't care what other people think or who is offended.

[LoftyLottie]

I like Ponderland too!

[LoftyLottie]

Thank you for your kind words Ethel. Totally unnecessary and rude.

[Squitty]

I'd rather eat my tele than watch the egotistical foul mouthed cretin

[LoftyLottie]

I totally respect the fact the a lot of people don't like Jonathan Ross and the fact that I, like April, don't care what others think about me liking him does not mean that I approve of offensiveness or am offensive. I though the Ross/Brand broadcast was extremely offensive, as I have stated.

Your comment was extremely offensive Ethel!!

[Ethel]

Simply agreeing with Tigger and Aprilis who said s/he doesn't give a monkey's what anybody else thinks.

I'm sure they don't care what I say.

[LoftyLottie]

No Ethel what you meant quite clearly is that Ross AND HIS FANS don't care about offending people.

[Prudentia]

I agree with docspock, would only add, he Woss, is obscenely overpaid! and to add insult to injury, it's our money!!

[Ethel]

Yes, well his fans must approve of his behaviour to be his fans - it stands to reason.

I used to be a fan of his until he became embarrassingly offensive to many of his guests who were obviously uncomfortable.

[Bathsheba]

I can't bear J Ross. He's a selfish interviewer, only ever wanting to talk about himself. From what I remember from the phone call to A Sachs, it was Ross who was the first to "cross the line"- Brand was clearly shocked and uncomfortable by what Ross said about the grand-daughter.
I thought Brand's programme about Jack Kerouac was excellent.

[tiggerblue10]

Yes I agree what they did was offensive but I still think it was taken out of all proportion. Andrew Sachs accepted their apology so that should have been the end of it.

When I said "I couldn't give a monkey's" I was refering to their brand of humour and not what they did to Sachs.

lofty..very brave taking on Ethel.

[LoftyLottie]

Squaddy, Brave, why! Ethel is no different to anybody else on here.

No need for rudeness.

(Did you read my reply about my message on News - it makes things clearer)

[LoftyLottie]

Actually, I always take everything he says on his show with a pinch of salt, as I am sure his guests do for the most part.

Now people like Jim Davidson, Manning, etc. I do find extremely offensive and they make me cringe - but I don't insult the people that like them.

[B00]

I like Russell Brand more than Jonathan Ross, I actually think there's something quite fanciable about Brand too (I know, I know!!)

Got to say, I also agree with Lottie re Ethels rudeness, which I was quite shocked to see to be honest. What Tigger and Aprilis were saying was that they couldn't care less whether anyone else likes the two presenters- they themselves do. Ethels rudeness towards TCL over in Suggestions was also an eye opener.

[beanpole]

There are a lot of people who also pay their licence who would be quiite happy never to have Ross back.

when the BBC try to put up the licence fee just think that they could employ 4 or 5 quality presenters for what they pay Ross.

Anyway who else other than the BBC would take Ross on at his ridiculous salary

[LoftyLottie]

Thanks BOO. I certainly didn't misread it (the rudeness).

[sqad617]

lofty...completely confused now and the phone keeps ringing LOL.. I think it was all about me greeting Ethel back after holiday and her not having the decency to reply. To me that was no big deal, but when one of her "mates" two days later welcomed her back, Ethel replired to her within the hour.

No big deal lofty and don't give it another thought.
