Favourite Personal Attacks Posted Fri Nov 3 17:13:29 GMT 2000 by 'Anonymous'

There have been 3 rather personal attacks on this forum recently: Dr Macombie on Richard Herring, Paul on Jon, and Mr. Correct on Nev Fountain. Is this a trend? Do you think any of them were justified? Which was your favourite? Your comments please.

To be fair, Paul wasn't attacking me personally at all. And the Nev Fountain/Spitting Image thing is just about the show really. However the Richard Herring assault is a fully-fledged personal attack (see 'Ted Chippingtin' strand, if yoiu've missed it).

If they were going to launch a personal attack, they could have launched them towards somebody who deserved it, such as: Chris Evans, Iain Lee, "The Artful Dodger", Vanessa Feltz or Noel Edmonds.

Okay. I'll do Chris Evans. He is basically a fat old chimp with bad skin and is also a career shithead. His eyes are too small and the hideous smile that dribbles onto his face in front of a camera when he's run out of things to say gives him the appearance of a petrified DJ who is totally out of his depth. I'd like to hear a news story about him tomorrow in which his body is found in his giant farmhouse, smothered by a blow-up doll with a photo of Simon Bates sellotaped over its face.

Except hundreds of my own, perfectly well adjusted, obviously less retro. students.

And Artful Dodger is from the UK. And he's not exactly the pinnacle of the genre. It's like saying indie music is rubbish because of the Stereophonics.

We should be so bloody lucky.

Then the triumphant villagers hoist his limp form aloft and carry it out into the square, shouting "The cunt is dead! The cunt is dead!" and laughing and laughing and laughing and then they all take turns to shit on his face.

Don't forget to burn the bugger.
No evidence of his existence should remain.

Is anyone tired of me having a go at Yoakum yet...?

Did we ever decide which was the real Yoakum?

I'm the real Jim Yoakum and so is my wife.

I remain convinced that they were both the same one. The 'real' one's postings on other forums and emails sent to various persons would seem to suggest this.

A bit, although it's "better on the radio" has definitely been done to death :0)

I have no problem with Yoakum-bashing as long as I can say "them's the facts, bucky!" every time his name's mentioned.
