nice celebs

[slimjim]

Friday in the office and today's topic is 'name a celeb that no-one has a bad word to say about'. So far we have Bill Oddie and Trevor McDonald. Not a great start. Any more ideas?

Melanie Sykes. Are you sure nomad - she has got to be one of the most annoying people on tv in that ad she does for shampoo.

[Dave Potts]

Richard Briars. Everybody likes a man who grows his own potatoes and keeps chickens.

Jack Nicholas the golfer and I still like Dustin Hoffman.

Well, I don't know if He qualifies as a celeb, but round here He is a god, Steve Gibson (Middlesbrough Chairman). He's a multi-millionaire but it's well known that He's the most unassuming bloke you could ever wish to meet. Just one example of His down to earth unassumingness... At the Carling Cup Final, He was at the gate but for some reason the steward wouldn't let him in. Of course He could have gone down the "Do you know who I am?" route but not Steve, in fact a lady Boro fan who happened to witness this (and told the story on our local Three Legends show) called a police officer over and told the bobby who he was "It's Steve Gibson, The Middlesbrough Chairman!". Needless to say the gate was opened immediately and Steve was allowed through but not before He took the time to go over to the lady and thank her very much for helping Him out, (or in) as the case may have been... And, He grew up on the same council estate as me, which might make me a bit biased!

Peter Ustinov? I read an article about him by someone condemning him for being a rose-tinted apologist for the Soviet Union.

Mother Theresa? You must be joking! Bigoted Holy Cow who maintained and exacerbated poverty by condemning contraception.

Bob Monkhouse? Smarmy git who deliberately annoyed people by smiling artificially with his mouth closed.

The Pope?!?!? You must be joking! An evil homophobic bigot - the only good thing about that hideous old fascist is that he'll be dead soon!

The obvious correct answer is of course the incredibly gorgeous and charming Peter Phillips. :-)

Victoria Beckham (Only joking before I get told off!) Hmm I can think of Shane Richie, Brian May and Donny Osmond?

[coggles]

Lorraine Kelly and another one for Dustin Hoffman.

Jack Nicklaus? i once saw him take about 5 shots out of a bunker and (thinking he was off camera) he swore then blamed it on the caddy. He reminds me of Nick Faldo - all smiles and smarm on camera then you hear he's a complete git in real life. I also want to nominate Richard Briers, although he's not as fanciable as Felicity Kendall i'm afraid.
