I thought I should draw your attention to this:

apologies if you've already seen it but it is classic.

That's my afternoon fucked then. I have loads of work to do as well. You bastard.

come the revolution Tony Hawks will be there against the wall along with Radiohead

― chris (chris), Friday, 16 January 2004 13:44 (twenty-one years ago)

Normally I agree with Chris but I have to say this did make me laff - perhaps when not accompanied by his grating, pompous voice I find him less offensive.

he is such the twunt, really. I wish the Moldovans had shot him instead of playing tennis with him.

― chris (chris), Friday, 16 January 2004 13:49 (twenty-one years ago)

I had thought so to until reading these emails which, if genuine, are quite funny.

― hmmmm (neil simpson), Friday, 16 January 2004 13:53 (twenty-one years ago)

no, they're horribly smug and kinda condescending. Shoot him

― chris (chris), Friday, 16 January 2004 14:04 (twenty-one years ago)

i didn't realise this guy was famous too. He wrote that Moldovans book did he? I just assumed he was some dude.

the link at the top of the thread is blocked as NSFW.

my knowledge of Tony Hawks is limited to Morris Minor & the Majors and Round Ireland With a Fridge. On that basis I'm inclined to agree with Chris.

Morris Minor and the Majors.

C/D?

― Jarlr'mai (jarlrmai), Friday, 16 January 2004 14:12 (twenty-one years ago)

didn't the review in NME read "Stutter Rap. Utter crap"?

― MarkH (MarkH), Friday, 16 January 2004 14:13 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah but it was all about, "Another Boring B Side"

― Jarlr'mai (jarlrmai), Friday, 16 January 2004 14:17 (twenty-one years ago)

He is the worst person on Grumpy Old Men. Considering that roster also includes Rory McGrath and Bill Nighy, that's quite an achievement.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Friday, 16 January 2004 15:15 (twenty-one years ago)

coz he's not grumpy?

― MarkH (MarkH), Friday, 16 January 2004 15:23 (twenty-one years ago)

Because he farms cock.

Some friends of mine got a big list of people on the public speaking circuit when they were running a dining society at University. Hawks was the cheapest on the list (mind this was in 1994 before his proto-Dave Gormanesque stunts)

― Pete (Pete), Friday, 16 January 2004 15:25 (twenty-one years ago)

Arrrrgghh Grumpy Old Men. Worst thing in the world.

― Archel (Archel), Friday, 16 January 2004 15:26 (twenty-one years ago)

is it meta for ilx to complain about grumpy old men?

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 16 January 2004 15:29 (twenty-one years ago)

(barring archel, of course ;))

If I told you that gygax was actually Tony Hawk, and that he gave me free copies of his video games last time I saw him, would you believe me?

I bumped into Tony Hawk at Tottenham Court Road tube station ten years ago today. I used to find him pretty funny.
