I'm still totally confused about why the 25-year-old producer of the Brand programme still has his job.

Or had his job in the first place? I suppose that depended on what public school he was at in the first place.

Presumably the producer worked for Russell Brand's production company i.e. Russell Brand was their boss or summat?

Not a council estate boy from a comprehensive, I am surprised

"As producer of Brand’s slot, he is thought to earn around £25,000 a year."

BBC spending the big bucks to hire the best talent, i see

That's quite high for the BBC.

I presume The Sun paid for this tasteful video as it's much better quality than the ones on their myspace page which I have definitely not seen.

how come sachs hadnt heard the answerfone message himself by the time the daily mail came calling?

That's what I've been wondering. The Mail on Sunday article came eight days after the programme was broadcast.
And Sachs was scheduled to give a phone interview on the show, about his appearance on The Bill. It wasn't a prank call, as such.

DavidM, Friday, 31 October 2008 16:57 (fifteen years ago) link

Well, that's why he didn't hear the message! He wasn't in!

The Daily Star has unearthed some Lesbian schoolgirl porn featuring herself.

How do they manage to put their hand on this stuff so swiftly, I wonders?

Mark G, Friday, 31 October 2008 17:06 (fifteen years ago) link

Googling her name?

I wonder what Have I Got News For You will be like tonight. Hislop very smug, I guess.

Lol @ The Fiver today:


JOKES AT EXPENSE OF OLD MAN = GUARANTEED POPULIST FUN

You absolutely cannot go wrong making cheap and tasteless jokes at the
expense of pensioners - millions enjoy them, they're what makes
Britain great - which probably explains why Madrid-based clown Ramon
Calderon yesterday decided to curry favour by humourously accusing
ageing football manager Sir Alex Ferguson of being "senile"

Matt DC, Friday, 31 October 2008 17:22 (fifteen years ago) link

Hislop very smug, I guess.

Yep, that's Ian, I guess also.

this (nsfw) is the girl from the story? She isn't that volutuous, I don't think.

what about the have-a-go pensioner who foiled a robbery today? He's a good old fellow

the pinefox, Friday, 31 October 2008 17:44 (fifteen years ago) link

still don't get how come he didnt hear the answerfone message on his own answerfone at any point before the mail called.

piscesx, Friday, 31 October 2008 17:54 (fifteen years ago) link

AND if he didnt then surely he may have never heard it unless it had been drawn to his attention by the mail. how many 78 year olds can use an answerfone properly?

piscesx, Friday, 31 October 2008 17:55 (fifteen years ago) link

my dad's only 62, he can't use an answerphone!

Pop quiz! Which tabloid newspaper recently ran a front page story attacking "Singer Kate Perry" for posing with a knive WHILE CHILDREN DIED?
If you answered the same newspaper who has paid Georgina Baillie an undisclosed sum for exclusive video shots of her ass you are right.
So I expect she'll be vilified on the front page tomorrow after posing naked with a knive in a bath of blood with another woman WHILE CHILDREN DIED?
NSFW shot of Andrew Sach's granddaughters tits here.

The most shocking thing about that photo is the fakeness of the blood. Tsk, tsk, no attention to detail...

cock rock = another term for 'hair metal' bands like Motley Crue et al.

The most shocking thing about that photo is just how crap and tacky it is!

'uckin'

in what argot, pray, is this a valid contraction

Ned, is your argument that because Georgina Baillie takes her clothes off for a living, she is somehow less worthy of sympathy in this instance than she would be if she were, say, a nun?

Carrie Bradshaw Layfield (The stickman from the hilarious 'xkcd' comics), Friday, 31 October 2008 20:18 (fifteen years ago) link

Or, to put it another way, would you say that because of her attire she was asking for this?

HIGNFY basically shite. Hislop looked disdainful, while no-one else appeared to share his indignation. Tom Baker possibly worst host since Brian Blessed.

ailsa, Friday, 31 October 2008 21:48 (fifteen years ago) link

everything about this story has screamed 'typical britain' but nothing more so than the semi-detatched-suburban plum coloured bathroom carpet in that photo. even though it's a shot of 2 naked blood-soaked goths in a bath with a knife you can't shake the feeling that somewhere in that house BULLSEYE is probably on.

piscesx, Friday, 31 October 2008 21:53 (fifteen years ago) link

Naked bloodsoaked Goths + Bullseye = all that makes this country great.

No, I have never argued we should have any sympathy for her. She seems to be able to look after herself quite well.

My point was merely about the hypocrisy of The Sun. Hardly news I know but it just wound me up.

Oh. The. Irony.

I rather enjoyed Ham Baker on HIGNFY.
