Not include: GTA: San Andreas/Vice City (because it'd win), the video for "Being A Girl" by Mansun (because you know who might start posting again).

He's rubbish to the nth degree. I suppose Football Factory is unintentionally funny for the shit-poor acting.

one of the best things about the MLS board I read is the fake Danny Dyer poster

It's no secret that these clubs hate each other, but what I witnessed was unbelievable, I mean it got well naughty in a hurry. Before the game while I was meeting with some of the top boys of Columbus's firm in their headquarters, Ruby Tuesdays, and I was really taken aback by the distaste they had for Chicago, I mean Hitler himself could learn a thing or two about hate from these geezers, I mean these were real proper nasty boys.

At the ground, as I was walking to the match with the Hudson Street Hooligans, I witnessed a brutal attack on some Chicago fans. Thankfully the Old Bill was there right quick, or it could have kicked off right then and there. Once inside the ground, the police themselves got into it with the Chicago ultras, even arresting one of their top boys for lighting a flare in the away end. I was fearing for my life as soon as word spread round that I'd been eating potato skins with the Crew fans at their pub just earlier that day, so I had to leave the Fire end right away.

...or maybe it's really him ;)

The circumstances surrounding Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain's death - officially ruled a suicide - have, as you might expect, attracted some debate and continue to do so. Good material for a play, then, though Roy Smiles's new two-hander, Kurt And Sid - which finds Cobain seemingly alone in an attic extension and on the verge of pulling the trigger in Seattle at the age of 27 in 1994 - doesn't provide any answers to that particular puzzler. Here, instead, the so-called king of grunge and spokesman for Generation X discovers that he is joined by a presence who claims to be his hero - another dead muso, the Sex Pistols bassist Sid Vicious - and the pair shoot the breeze about the emptiness of fame, their mutual understanding of drug addiction and similar self-destructive behaviour. Tim Stark directs geezer actor Danny Dyer (Skins, Adulthood) in the role of Sid Vicious, while Cobain is played by Shaun Evans, last seen in Sky1 drama The Take.

christ. I do love danny dyers deadliest men though, its absolutely hilarious. Dyer is clearly such a white knuckle boozer, he looks terrible throughout and is constantly shitting himself around these loons. The whole series is on virgin media in the uk, watched the end of series roundup on sunday and was pissing myself constantly. Dyer as vicious is hilarios though, hes so tubby

straightola, Monday, 7 September 2009 12:45 (sixteen years ago)

Maybe his first line in the play is "if I hadn't been a junkie, I would have looked like this"

Worth watching the intro to this because he appears to have a stick up his bum:

Danny Dyer goes on a quest to spot a UFO, spurred on by a meeting with his boyhood hero Sir Patrick Moore. Danny examines reported UFO landing sites and the sinister evidence that aliens may have been conducting scientific experiments here in Britain.

Good grief.

In related news 'Happybirthdaychrisbrown' is also trending on Twitter.

I presume Mr Dyer doesn't actually write this?

That's obviously the work of a professional prose stylist yes.

Cant believe the level of conceited bile thats spewing out here. Yes Zoo, Nuts et al are simple titillation and dont really contribute to the betterment of mankind but its a joke. Interesting to see wannabe intellectuals throwing the chav/scum thesaurus out and that jokes about violence against women are never funny but its fiction.
If it was Sacha Baron Cohen playing the part of a Eastend geezer agony aunt i doubt very much wed see as much outrage. Good middle class boy that he is (who by the way, i find incredibly funny) Clearly the working class should know their place and not attempt to pass social commentary, even the tongue in cheek variety, without the ok of the Guardian or the well educated and informed twitterverse (which, as far as i can see, consists almost entirely of people who have an intimate understanding of the process of lobotomy).

Danny Dyer's "A Geezer in Gaza"

definitely brings the content. got through a few hours of insomnia w/ a full retrospective of danny dyer's britain's most dangerous men a while ago.

Hoping somebody at the production company realises that they left out an extra "z" in the title, so suddenly Dyer finds that really he's going to be Paul Gasgoine's proctologist.

Les centimètres énigmatiques (snoball), Monday, 6 September 2010 22:25 (fifteen years ago)

ha, well the name of the production company appears to be in patois but that could just be a misspelling too

I guess that Dean Gaffney was unavailable.

Dyer, who has also appeared in hooligan film The Football Factory, feels he has been typecast for too long as a hardman, but is confident his next role, playing an abusive serial killer, will change all that.

He said: 'I play this serial killer who likes to kidnap women and abuse them and then kill them.'

the longer version is better:

'I was brought up by women. My mother brought up three of us on her own. I've got two daughters myself. Women are just a massive thing for me and the idea of hurting one, or cutting one's face, makes me feel ill.

Just saw 'Devils Playground', which was indefensibly bad. I've never seen such a collection of charisma-free actors, headed by Dyer.

buildings with goats on the roof (James Morrison), Thursday, 14 October 2010 22:54 (fifteen years ago)

‘A Geezer in Gaza’ is a unique and thought provoking documentary that sees the popular actor Danny Dyer thrown into the middle of the conflict. Danny will attempt to see the problems on both sides and explain to viewers just what is going on in this dangerous and complex part of the world.

Throughout the series Danny will interview key players from both sides and offer his views as to how the conflict can be resolved and peace restored to the region.

Pwopa bell end:

Honesty is Dyer's most winning quality. To any question he'll give an instant reply. He's a tabloid editor's dream. "If there's somebody I don't like, and I'm asked about them, I say I don't fucking like them. But there's no mileage in it. It just makes me look like a fucking prick." He laughs. "So people think I'm an arrogant, thick Cockney cunt."
