Complete Tossers: Men

Message Bookmarked

Bookmark Removed

This is the thread where ILE generates a list of ten complete tossers. Here's how it works:
I will post a man I think is a complete tosser. The next nine posters will add a name, bringing the total list up to ten. If the eleventh poster doesn't find ANY of the ten listed men complete tosers, he/she may remove a name from the list and add a new name. This cycle repeats until we have a list where everyone on ILE finds at least one of the people complete tossers.

I'll start first: Paul Gambaccini

Please define Tosser. I'm guessing it's negative.

You know what's weird? I was gonna nominate Phil Spector, and this was before I saw the news story about him.

Chris Moyles is more of a tosser than Colin Murray. At least Murray has come honest love of music - Moyles just seems to enjoy music as some kind of ironic joke against music. Him and Tanya should get together and make little music-despising babies. He loves the sound of his horrible voice and the voices of the collection of sycophants he keeps around him more than any tune in the world. Hearing 'Comedy (hem hem) Dave' say a certain song is ace only to spinelessly backtrack when faced with Moyles's withering scorn is vomit-inducing, yet oddly fascinating, like a car crash.

Moyles is a jellyfish - a spineless, poisonous blob who belongs at the bottom of the ocean.

I'd replace George W. with Ari Fleischer.

― bnw (bnw), Monday, 3 February 2003 19:52 (twenty-three years ago)

But you have Stringfellow in the first 10, therefore everyone can agree with at least one in it, therefore we've finished! (At least no one mentioned me!)

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Monday, 3 February 2003 20:54 (twenty-three years ago)

John Edward

― Amateurist (amateurist), Monday, 3 February 2003 20:57 (twenty-three years ago)

Oh, whoops, we've finished. He's an alternate.

I'd say Murray is a bigger cunt than Chris Moyles... Colin Murray is like the head prefect let loose into the real world. I bet he was "entertainments officer" at his university as well. Have you seen his links on 4Music? Jesus Christ... a man so obviously convinced of his comic genius, and yet he just comes across like a man slowly approaching a nervous breakdown as he realises that his entire life has been one massive fucking failure after another (Session In The Regions, RI:SE, Born Sloppy, him replacing Lamacq and already having Zane Lowe lined up to replace him...). There was a really bad link a few weeks back. It was him at a local record store, and, wackily, him doing his "I know lots about music thing" spiel, before the clerk (here comes da humour) mentions lots of obscure bands causing Colin Murray to faint! The hilarity. Want to know the obscure bands he'd never heard of? Nightmares On Wax, Aphex Twin, Belle and Sebastian, and, get this.... Royksopp.

i'd replace Alan Shearer with Vinny Jones

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 3 February 2003 21:21 (twenty-three years ago)

oh wait, i thought the idea was to get TEN definitive tossers that everyone agrees on...erh, this exercise is silly
