Big Jeff

[iamcoop]

It's definitely other people that have built this myth around him.

He's definitely very noticeable, I remember being at a gig about 15 years ago at the Anson Rooms in Bristol and noticing a big fella with a mass of ginger hair going pretty wild at the front. Then years later 6music started mentioning him all the time and I realised it must have been him.

I know this thread is being ironic in a nasty way but it seems unfairly targeted...As someone else has mentioned I think he's said a few times publicly he's quite uncomfortable with a lot of the attention he receives.

I also think there's an uncomfortable element of people going "Awww look, people that aren't neurotypical are capable of having a good time after all!" Which never quite sat easily with me.

Anyway yeah, hope he dies lol

Maybe it's been a bit oblique, but it's very definitely The Legend Of Big Jeff (propelled by other people, as has been mentioned 200 times now) that has been slagged off here, not the human being. So you can stop colouring it in as Actually A Morally Serious Attack On A Vulnerable Person now.

That's right, mate. If the joke fucks up, you double down.

More just a case of being a tit for my own amusement in the face of tedium, I'm not trying to impress anyone. Sorry to disappoint if you thought this was my best material.

[sweeper]

Your main disappointment might be that I wasn't addressing you.

Appreciate that that particular top spot might be seeing some significant competition.

I can't help that I'm a narcissist and this thread is all I've got going on in my free time right now.

[Goldentony]

[Pink Gregory]

I pretend not to be one of them, but I go to markets and buy the expensive peanut butter and have a turquoise feature wall so in reality I am one.

He's a nice fella and for the last few years he has been paying to get into gigs (most of the time), but the whole 'legend mate' thing built around him is embarassing and mainly rolled out by first year uni types.  If he was really that much of a cunt he would be riding on this infamy, but as someone pointed out above he seems to be mortified by this sort of canonisation.

Also, Bristol may or may not be full of cunts but I'm a hermit so I think I've managed to avoid them.  The last three shows I went to here were The Nightingales, Saint Vitus and Terry Riley and I didn't see him at these, but to be fair a Riley performance doesn't really lend itself to pogoing and whooping it up.
