russell brand - C or D?

Torpedos were already launched.

Not "OK", no, but as I say, I don't believe her interview has added to the weight against them. More likely made some go "Her? Actually, I'm less bothered now."

xpost oh yeah, forgot about 6musi.

Dom, is Mr Shane as charming as he looks?

But it is wrong to equate making a joke in a pub with saying something on a BBC radio programme which is probably heard by millions (really! R2 is the most popular channel in the country) and for which you are paid £££££. Those are two totally different scenarios.

The point is the Mail is now printing stuff that WASN'T broadcast. That was what I thought might be worth a compliant.

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. Also, if you can get past Alex Shane, it also says in that article that it was an ongoing relationship of more than a year Baillie had with Brand, not just a one-night stand. If you have an ongoing relationship for a year with a known serial shagger, you can't expect it to be totally private.

Seriously, where to start.

I'm hitting google to find all my favourite Shane anecdotes, but if you're looking for a carny bastard who epitomises all that is shady and underhand about the wrestling scene, then you've hit paydirt with this character. He may also have had sex with a Thai tranny at one point, this is unconfirmed.

On reflection I'm sure Baillie didn't have any direct input into the hypocrisy that caused all this. But Clifford and the Sun input don't help her case.

Pinefox - as I have already said several times on this thread the Russell Brand Show is (or was) broadcast to a relatively small and very specialised audience WHO KNEW EXACTLY WHAT THEY WERE GETTING WHEN THEY TUNED IN and indeed formed the reason why Brand was given the show in the first place, i.e. he was expected to be "edgy" and "controversial."

Given that only TWO listeners complained about the prank before the Sundays blasted it into public consciousness then your theory doesn't hold, I'm afraid.

Good character witness for Ms Baillie then?

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.

Wait, so we have a tranny chaser indie wrestler involved in the mix now? STOKED FOR THE MADNESS, as they say in the classics.

jerks got what they deserved, hurrah for the press (for once)

No one said that change was easy but has anything in your life that is worth having ever been so other than a self service hand job?

"Some of my new written philosophy"

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.

I'm quite enjoying all the "senior BBC broadcasters" sticking the boot in completely anonymously.

"what's worse, leaving a swearword on Andrew Sachs's answerphone or supporting the Third Reich?"

Two sniggering fucks indulging in a bit of laddish misogyny and getting paid an enormous amount of money for it?

Heroes: Dino Scarlo, Gandhi, Albert Einstein (watch the video with his quotes I've added), John F Kennedy (see the video below if you ever wondered what really got him killed), Bill Hicks, Jesus (and I'm not religious so work that one out), My Grandad Fred, Micheal Tsarion, Robert Anton Wilson, Nikola Tesla, DJ Paul Christian (Without him I would never have discovered the wonder that is Electro house)and finally my Mum.

See what I mean, only one women on that list *angry emoticon*

So glad Shane is getting his moment in the sun here. He was on Jerry Springer UK once as well.

*angry emoticon*, is that his mum's name?

Occupation: Walking contradiction

So he's a wrestle who's NOT going to threaten to beat up someone who weighs half as much as he does... oh wait

wrestle = wrestler

I fucked his mum once.

Classic: wifes dad:

"I think it's a disgrace, Russell brand implying that Andrew Sachs had had sex with Jonathan Ross' daughter!"

Didn't he fuck Jonathan Ross's wife and that's why she had that nervous breakdown? *LAUGHTER TRACK*

Good piece by Mark Lawson in the Grauniad.

Surprised that Lawson wasn't arguing for the entire license fee to be handed to Ricky Gervais

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

O Calamity!

And Tatchell weighs in.

He's actually 3-1 to become next Newcastle manager.

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

And Tatchell weighs in.

Right that's it, hand me that burning torch and point me towards the offices of Jonathan Ross's production company

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!

Care to replicate the content of your complaint to us, cozen?

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)

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?

I guess that'll get obscured in all the fuss now

otm, this happened about 200 posts ago.

who else can we complain abt and get rid of? will ofcom do gordon brown too? (joeks bruv)

I wd really like to see if we cd get rid of george lamb tho pls

For all RBrand isn't the 'kiss and tell' type, he is the 'kiss and blurt it out when it gets too much' type.

Yes, but RBrand presumably mentioned it to JRoss.

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.

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.

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?

link me a youtube of tht and we can all strt filing our complaints

We've covered it on ILX already!

Yes, but RBrand presumably mentioned it to JRoss.

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.
