I think we've got Peter Kay to thank for launching his career.
Question of Sport 'Stops Production'?
- Thread starter Bingoman
- Start date
So sports type show and we're defining a sportswoman (and French Open winner) by her decades ago non-sport ex.
And then we're saying it's a toss-up between a sportswoman (who won the French Open) and some comedian (with no sporting credentials AFAIA) presenting a sport type show.

There are plenty of light entertainment people that I quite like but Paddy McGuinnes, no
Thing I'm not getting is why in the context of a sport show you're defining a sportswoman by her non-sportsman ex. Kinda weird, no?

There aren't that many candidates. There's a DG shake-up as we speak.
Of course I'm serious. Why would i not be serious?
Defining women by their (ex) menfolk is just plain weird. And that I'm having to point that out is plain depressing.

DG?
It's easy -- don’t act like a twat and you won't be treated like one.
(And yes, this shit is tedious. Believe me, picking up people coming out with this shit is even more tedious, if necessary.)
But what happened next?

I haven’t seen this since I was a kid. There was something vaguely melancholic about the theme tune. I think it was on a boring Tuesday night or something and I wasn’t allowed to play computer games all night. So had to sit in the front room and watch shit telly with the family.
Is an oafish gob shite. I thought he only got a gig in the media because he was that comedians mate, I forgot his name actually, garlic bread man.

Yeah that’s the guy. Peter Kay is alright. Not my cup of tea but got nothing against him.

That is his thing but he's shared with the public that he has two (iirc) austistic children and has recently split up with his wife.
I dunno, I think Paddy one of the good guys.
He’s boring and annoying. I’m not saying he’s evil or anything. light entertainment Saturday night stuff is dog shit anyway. once I was old enough to go out move away from home, do something else I never watch that shit again.

I didn't know they'd split up but am aware that he has spoken publicly about his kids (and Mrs) being autistic, that's tough and good he's spoken about it, he may well be a good person, but we're talking about his TV career and how he's perceived professionally by some here.
There was no need to go on the attack at a female poster talking about the issue of sexism +and ageism in the media.

Let's just be glad he didn't get Gladiators. Bradley Walsh has been over-looked by TV producers for too long now, and it's time he got his big break!

Well I'm sorry that spoiled you and Sue's Urban Safari.

I don't even know what that is supposed to mean

Why the fuck are you quoting me with nonsense. Because I disrespected Sue Barker? Yes it would seem so.

I only quoted you because you've gone from 1-100 with the abuse.
It was a fair point though. Sue Barker was an accomplished sports woman. Not just Cliff Richard’s old flame or whatever. That’s why she was on question of sport. For you know the tennis stuff. no need to get all antsy when it’s pointed out.
You talked shit and got picked up on it. Own it and don't make out other people are being mean or whatever it is you're trying to do. It's not hard!
