If I was Ms Baillie I'd be checking my purse last thing before I went to sleep at night and first thing in the morning, put it that way.

Brand's first response to this, "what's worse, leaving a swearword on Andrew Sachs's answerphone or supporting the Third Reich?" was pretty classic.

Good piece by Mark Lawson in the Grauniad.

that's a pretty reasonable piece by lawson, but really: THIS IS THE MOST FUCKING ABSURD NEWS STORY IN THE PAST, er, week and the sooner everybody involved fucks off out of it, the better.

Were the BBC to now sack Ross, he would probably be rapidly taken on by commercial broadcasters, or even by the networks of Rupert Murdoch

So far, nearly 30,000 members of the public have lodged complaints. How many of them have complained about the BBC's tacit glorification and promotion of greed and nastiness in programmes like The Apprentice and The Weakest Link?
Actually worse than Piers Morgan's piece

steady on pinefox! "scum"?
anyway, yes, I did complain bcs you know 1million complaints by friday was too delicious a prospect to pass up
can we find something innocuous of george lamb's to complain about? we now have proof that we only need 27,000 complaints to have him hang? what's the install-base of ilx, 3000? if we all complain 9 times we'll have him!

― ailsa, Thursday, 30 October 2008 10:52 (fifteen years ago) link
uhm, let me see if I can find the actual text on the ofcom www
I didn't realise ppl were actually complaining; I thought it was an internet thing, and finally a funny one at tht (cf. rick astley at the EMA & digg NOT FUNNY)
― coznebb (cozwn), Thursday, 30 October 2008 10:53 (fifteen years ago) link
Wow, this turned into a silly-season story over the last couple of days, didn't it.
I still think they're a pair of horrible cunts for phoning some old guy and leaving a message boasting about fucking his grand-daughter, I guess that'll get obscured in all the fuss now. I guess I'd probably laugh if either of them got worked over by some irate bod or other over this. Like, as long as they didn't get worked over too hard?

For all RBrand isn't the 'kiss and tell' type, he is the 'kiss and blurt it out when it gets too much' type.
I think everyone's forgetting it was Ross who did the public blurting. ...

Yes, but RBrand presumably mentioned it to JRoss.
― Mark G, Thursday, 30 October 2008 10:59 (fifteen years ago) link
I think "you can get away with threatening to beat up someone who is physically much weaker than you as long as that person has somehow insulted your ex-girlfriend" is just as bad a message to send as "it's OK to prank call people and leave offensive messages on their answerphones as long as you're a highly paid comedian". With the exception of Sachs, everyone involved in this comes out a bit tarnished.
― snoball, Thursday, 30 October 2008 10:59 (fifteen years ago) link
And another thing...
Didn't Russell Brand make some "edgy" comments about some Christian pop band at the MTV Awards and then, after a quick word in his ear, apologise for the comment in the same show? The Quick Word being, I imagine, that his career in the US might not go much further if he continued to mock high-earning employees of powerful corporations. But how ballsy and rock 'n' roll of Russell to defy Censorship and The Man for all of, oh, 20 minutes. Of course no such prickly career advancement problems when commenting on some girl he met in a pub in Camden and subsequently shagged.
― Ich Ber ein Binliner (Tom D.), Thursday, 30 October 2008 11:01 (fifteen years ago) link
Yeah, how about getting (George Lamb) to phone a 60's rock/pop star, annoying him to the point of the 60's pop star politely ringing off, and then wishing a death on his ill brother?
Or is it too late to bring this one to the world's attention?
Or is it because he's not famous enough?

Well, yes, but going "see 'er, I shagged 'er" to your mate over a pint in the pub or whatever is hardly the stuff to cause a national outcry, is it? Especially when said lassie is now telling the press it was an ongoing relationship of over a year.
