Indeed he does Peter000. Sorry I'm trying to get my posts count upto hundred or so to reach nirvana and hidden members only forum bits & bobs

I've been to Huntington, West Virginia. It's not the remotest spot in Appalachia but its damn close. Lucky they didn't tar and feather him.

He did say 'second time' so technically he is correct however I didn't know that
it was the people of Huntington, WV that were responsible for electing him.

No big shocker here. People in West Virginia think people from Virginia are elitist snobs who look down on them. I can't imagine why this guy would go there, of all places, and I marvel that he expected other than a hostile reception. He needs to get a new promoter. And yes, I had to Google to see who/what he was, as I (probably like much of the world) had never heard of him. You can bet nobody in West Virginia had a clue.

^do you know who Keith Floyd is?

"Was" may be a better word..

^^Sorry, no. But if he is a TV personality, I don't watch TV other than BBC on occasion.

Jamie Oliver is nothing but an over rated drama queen. I watched one of his programmes on American cooking once. He was down south, Alabama I think it was, and was sitting in a trailer park chewing the fat with a bunch of red necks. It was just after Obama got elected and he asked one of the guys what he thought of the new president. The answer "You'se guys got yourself your Queen and we's got us a n*gg*r".

Poor little Jamie got real upset and skulked away into the truck and was blathering on about how he'd never heard the 'n' word and how he was deeply shocked by it. Fact was it was barely audible and the only reason most people knew what was said was that subtitles were thoughtfully provided.

Truth was it was all a set up so dear J could make a big fuss and appear as this holier than thou person of impeccable credentials.

If you go into a trailer park anywhere in the USA you are unlikely to find uber-PC people hanging around. Same as in virtually any council estate in Britain.

I don't get it with all this "celebrity" shite anyway, seems you've only got to appear once on TV and you're a celeb. Bunch of fcuking tossers most of them.

I knew him, and worked with him for ~4 years. What does Floyd have to do with Oliver's histrionic crap?
