of course it is, did you think something of consequence was going to happen here

I was hoping to rid the world of racism but have had to settle for a Ballad micro-flounce.

I was having a bad day, I'm aware of how silly that micro-flounce was.

In years to come we'll reflect fondly upon the time, that simpler, gentler time, when we all banded together to create this thread.

I didn't even notice it.  Granted I wasn't here but I read the thread when I got in.  It must have been very micro.

Thanks, daf. That music is an eternal source of hat-on-the-side-of-me-head good cheer.

It was nothing. A fleeting butterfly excretion.

And the irony is that I came here to bury Danny Baker, but now praise him.

The real tragedy here is that Danny Baker will never get the chance to tweet his obscure archive photograph of a butterfly with explosive diarrhoea.

To end this thread on a happy note, Congratulations to Buelligan for becoming one of the top ten posters in terms of postcount.

It is my goal to become the fattest poster, by weight.

Not really Rat-fans, I'm on a sensible diet and getting plenty of exercise.

Gonna need to hit at least 130kg to even have a chance....

Amateur, go for density.

Forget it, I've already moved on to addressing everybody as "Rat-fans". That's my new thing. It's brilliant.

Listening to the Richard Herring thing I thought that combined with him comfortably admitting a lot of his stuff was shit and that because he was shit with saving he had to keep 'knocking it out' was quite endearing. No pretentiousness.

but that's his schtick. I'm returning to my original hypothesis that this was a deliberate act of provocation in order to get out of doing that show & re-invent himself. that he knows what he's doing. that he's not a racist per se, but that he was deliberately playing dumb.

also- I just remembered this- I worked on both 'own goals & gaffes' & 'hard men of football' back in 1992, with the producer jim r.
he'd hired DB to do the voiceovers for both & we sent him rough-cuts of the shows so that he could write his remarks. he turned up, that fateful tuesday, not only sans script, but having failed to watch the rough-cuts, & determined to 'wing it'. twelve hours later we sent him home, & instructed him to come back in a few days when we'd all recovered & he'd had time to actually write something. he got £10k for that gig.
for the next show, jim hired alan parry instead, & we were finished by lunchtime, even with me driving the edit suite.

I'm just saying he plays the innocent, but he isn't naive.

One thing that's always irked me is how he tries to portray his dear old dad as a salt of the earth loveable rogue type, even when he's telling a story about him choking Harry Enfield for swearing at him or something. He seems to have a violent streak in him too, or at least he isn't hesitant about threatening people with violence.

A chimp is not meant to be dressed as a public school boy, smoking fags and riding q penny farthing. I thought that was pretty basic.

It needs to be in a jungle wiyh its own kind throwing shit around, eating nuts and wanking.

To make it do anything else is denying its natural behaviours and is cruel. I think so, anyway.

I'm not surprised by this tale, he often made reference to thinking up questions for his interviewee on the tube on the way in. It's just his way.

And surely if he wants to leave the show he just leaves the show.

Well now he's been sacked, Mr Baker can get back to doing all these things

bgmnts

Good, Danny Baker needs to be with his own kind, throwing shit around and wanking furiously to football gaffes.

I am sure there is q conservation charity or NGO that will take him in.

You think he posted a racist picture to get out of doing a show? That is possibly even less likely than him actually being a racist who thought other people would find it funny in a racist way

I disagree, obviously.

phantom_power

Obviously but is it really likely that, deciding he wants to get sacked, he chooses possibly the most dangerous and career-fucking way possible? Do you think he just under-estimated the shit storm? What leads you to believe this over any other explanation?

Obviously keeping chimps as pets is wrong, but I've heard that the nappies people who own them put on them to stop them shitting everywhere are just as important to stop them wanking everywhere.

I don't doubt some of it's schtick. Some of it is laziness as well I reckon, hence why he seems to tell the same anecdotes in interviews but makes them sound spontaneous.
