The Matt Hancock File

[souljacker]

There have been vegans/veggies. They are given things like durian fruit (vomit fruit), or fermented eggs if veggie.

Durian tastes nice. Like custard. It just stinks!

Yeah, it tastes a just like custard - fresh off the tree, it's delicious!

Sure. And crickets apparently taste nice too. The programme just plays up the ickiness for the entertaining reaction they get. They call it Vomit Fruit, rather than custard fruit. All that.

Given how closely tied taste and smell are, I've always been curious to know how durians can taste so different from their smell (given that those who like them admit the problem with the odour). Though, being lazy, not quite curious enough to go round the world looking for them.

I hope you're not inferring that our Danny's a dog wanker

I’ve started the official thread several times in the TV forum. It’s not a secret.

I like I’m A Celeb, dislike football; like jazz, dislike attending music festivals; like marmite, dislike coriander leaves.

(At least you're right on Biscuitville. And macaroni cheese pies.)

 

[danny la rouge]

At least you're right on

I’ll take that.

No prizes for guessing which paper this front page is from.

I'll be watching too. I love that show!

He's trying to spin the story to say that he's going to talk politics in a different environment, to try to connect with the masses who don't engage through usual media channels. He really thinks he's going to connect with people, the massive over inflated bell-end

Think that the "Ready for Rishi" campaign veterans will be doing a phone-round on the first eviction night to punt Hancock back to backbench obscurity. Heavy support anticipated from West Suffolk Conservative Association.

Hancock is so creepily needy. And deluded. The perfect empty-narcissist personality incubated by celebrity culture, like athlete's foot in a cheap trainer.

The picture should show him jumping with just an umbrella?

With holes in it.

What happens if there's a vegetarian or a vegan on this programme?
Are they still expected to eat creatures, or parts of creatures?

Boy George is a vegan so doesn’t have to do the Bushtucker trials

 

[Lord Camomile]

He really thinks he's going to connect with people, the massive over inflated bell-end

Does he really think that? Or is that the thin veneer he's trying to sell everyone to cover up his true intentions (opening gambit: increase his self-worth through self-promotion in the aim of self-interest).

I know where I'd put my money, and it wouldn't be at Hancock's Honest Goods stall.

Think my sarcasm was missed

Heh, sorry, the second part of the sentence made me think you were serious about the first

Well the two will be directly related - connecting with people is the mechanism by which he imagines increasing his political stock and unlocking the potential for his future ambitions to be fulfilled. And this is consistent with his high levels of self-regard and self-importance. The actual prospects in reality include the possibility that he'll actually come out of all this much worse off, and has sabotaged his own career. Especially given that journalists absolutely love these sorts of stories, they can poke fun at him and churn out lazy articles looking at the politicians who made fools of themselves on reality tv in the past, eg Dorries and Galloway.

If people want, I can report back on how Hancock fares, as I watch I’m A Celebrity every year.

This will be a great public service .

 

[danny la rouge]

This will be a great public service .

It’ll be a honour. And hopefully a pleasure.

 

[bluescreen]

Are you watching, danny la rouge, so we don't have to? I look forward to your report.

 

[tommers]

He's just gone into a burrow.

 

[Calamity1971]

He's just gone into a burrow.

Why's Danny in a burrow?

 

[tommers]

Why's Danny in a burrow?

It's where he feels safe.

I always think of Charlie Brooker's description of him: "Your sister's first boyfriend with a car"

EDIT: Mancock, not Danny
