BBC - even the lite-shite is gurgling down the drain

Don't go there anymore, so sorry for posting a link, but this pap made me grin

Hosts Dan Walker and Louise Minchin asked the singer about the grief he felt over their loss.

Replying to Tomlinson directly on Twitter, Walker wrote: "Sorry you feel like that. It was nice to speak to you on #BBCBreakfast this morning. Can I ask what you are upset about?"

Tomlinson responded: "You fucking lanky grief hound questioning. The fact you are the beige man of breakfast time. Someone battered into irrelevance by your desperation to keep relevant. You weren't fucking relevant even at your peak on the beaches of Rio de Janeiro. Fucking accepting some strangers wedding invitation. You cunt ghoul.

[Default to the negative]

I don't really know anything about Tomlinson or his band, but I do know that this:

No intention to upset you or be 'gossipy' about it at all. That's not our style on #BBCBreakfast."

is blatantly untrue. I've seen the show.

Indeed. Why even read about this stuff? Why are you curious about it?

I don't know who any of these people are. If you've got time to watch the telly in the morning you got out of bed too early.

I've just realised that I follow Louis (but no other member of One Direction) on Twitter. I haven't the slightest idea why or how it happened. I mean he's from Doncaster, my least favourite place in the whole wide world. And I usually have BBC Breakfast on in the background but didn't wake up until it had finished this morning.

[Shoulders?-Stomach!]

The real truth is both sides got together and confected this (probably while in a sort of cupboard) as a ruse for attention and relevance.

With or without doors

No ?, its a statement

[Shit Good Nose]

No mention of One Direction should go without this - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYNJwpHWsBg

Oh and genuinely side with the BBC on this.

I'm lucky enough to have a commercial outlet for me to profit from my grief this doesn't however give you the right to talk about it for gossip purposes

[shiftwork2]

Never heard of anyone involved in this.  Alright cheers

[weekender]

This is a very difficult thread to masturbate to.

He works for the Russians

He works for the Russians

Enslaved, yes.

Much like your Arab labour

He means robot grief dog.

Twitter, my arse!













Sorry, wrong Tomlinson.  Honestly thought that Ricky Tomlinson was going mental on Twitter.  I don't know who this lad is.  I can't imagine it would be pleasant being asked about a dead mother on telly, though in fairness making a song about her & your grief is a pretty public forum too.  All involved seem to have placed themselves on the cuntitude scale.

I've taken to browsing the television schedules archives from 1965-1983 for RESPITE

[sick as a pike]

There's an old, probably apocryphal story about an actor's agent jockeying to get his client the best billing on a film. The actor wasn't the star but maybe he could be billed as "WITH [name]" or "AND [name]" or "INTRODUCING [name]".
The producer eventually said that if the agent didn't fuck off, the credit would be "BUT [name]."

I think the 'but' is a valuable tool and could be usefully used here, as

Tomlinson is currently promoting Walls, his first solo album, but will perform in his home town of Doncaster later.
