My Booky Wook..

[Dubversion]

very very poor BM

 

[g force]

To whoever watched him on the Big Bro programme...that's really not what he's about. There's plenty of stuff on Youtube that gives a better idea of his schtick - the Young BNP guy, stand up etc.

He may not be to everyone's tastes but I like the fact he gets people so riled that the only retort they have is "yeah look at his hair"

 

[goldenecitrone]

He's not a real person though, is he? I always thought it was Sasha Baron Cohen's latest creation.

That's as may be, but it's still jank.

 

[brixtonvilla]

The man personifies everything I hate about Noughties culture. Wouldn't wipe my arse with his book.

 

[zoooo]

But, that's a good thing...

 

[Dan U]

the first two extracts were good.

todays extract wanted me to punch him. yay i can patronise the vulnerable and homeless.



i think you've read the best bits to be honest Dub, wouldn't buy it at hardback prices!

In fairness, even if you find him irritating- which I can understand- the fact remains that he is at least articulate, witty and plainly intelligent. Which is a good deal more than you can actually say for much of "Noughties culture" surely?

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

From what I've read of his articles I quite like him. Plus, he's a Hammer...

 

[Looby]

I read mondays extract about his sex addiction and I really want to read the book now, I think he's hilarious and loved his stand-up too.

 

[JTG]

I occasionally read his football column in the guardian.

from these I conclude that he is a complete cocky wock

 

[magneze]

I quite like his column in the Guardian on Saturday. I doubt I'll get the book - will probably nick it off Iemanja if she happens to get it for Christmas.

 

[William of Walworth]

He annoys and amuses me in equal measure, but he seems to be a pretty good writer.

Read the first two so far, and this sums it up for me just about.

Hate him on TV though, he's an irritating twat, however clever a Trevor he might be. And his Guardian footy column on Sats (unsurprisingly) was as egotistical as fuck, 5 parts Brand to 1 part West Ham United. Neither very interesting ...

So I was quite surprised to be so impressed by these extracts ...
ETA : doubt I'd buy the whole book though, or even read it probably ...

[idioteque]

He's a pretentious twat.

 

[madzone]

It's a tenner in WH Smith

 

[JTG]

It's a tenner in WH Smith

it's fuck all if you don't buy it

 

[madzone]

it's fuck all if you don't buy it

You're right, you're not wrong

 

[tommers]

Plus, he's a Hammer...

And that's the important bit of all this.

 

[girasol]

It's only £8.55 , so if someone else buys it for me I'll read it

Bit disappointed he didn't write it himself, I have to say, but that won't stop me from reading it.

 

[damnhippie]

Has it been ghosted?

nope, it's legit.

 

[Louloubelle]

I love his non BB stand up, real quality.

Not a great fan of how he treats women though, although this is based on a very neurotic (at least) acquaintance's account of being seduced by him.

All I can say to women who would is whatever you do, make you you insist on using a condom as he's very casual about the whole safe sex thing. Which is quite worrying given how much he likes to enjoy himself with different women.

I had to deal with all the insane fallout resulting from him taking big risks with a very inexperienced girl who the morning after read in a newspaper that he was a sex addict, a former drug addict, etc., etc. Cue lots of terrified crying and screaming and long waits in the GU clinic, HIV tests etc. All negative but I would have hoped he would have been more careful and grown up about something so important.

 

[dash_two]

Read half of one his book extracts in the paper, found it too boring to read it all.

absolutely

same goes for your acquaintance

 

[Louloubelle]

absolutely

couldn't agree more

she was very naive and inexperienced though, he was the 1st man she'd had sex with except for her ex bf

I think he knew that and maybe that's why he was so irresponsible

I had to feel sorry for her though I think she hoped it might turn into something meaningful

 

[cesare]

Never thought I'd say this, but isn't it a bit dodgy posting that kind of personal info about a named individual on a BB

Blimey!

ETA I bumped this thread because someone liked my post in it, so I read the thread, and this is so clearly relevant to the recent stories/complaints about him!

 

[UnderOpenSky]

This aged well.

 

[two sheds]

Well this one did

[8ball]

Is every thread involving Brand going to be exhumed so people can find posters not showing suitable prescient hatred and resurrect old beef?
