You and Novo were ironically discussing thinking mans celebrities - some of them may even be dead. Don't mind me though - I'm just watching.

It's perfectly alright to watch 'Glee'... to paraphrase Descartes, "I think, therefore I am...a showdancer, darling!!"

Anyway, on the other channel, Albert Camus would be watching the football with the rest of us. Not sure about Roland Barthes, but I'm sure he would have had a word or two to say about Fabien.

Shouldn't you lead by example???? Granted people on here will bitch about you, but your job as a mod means you should stick to all the rules. It becomes laughable how many times you seem to ignore them.

Bored with you now
DITTO, and third this. cannot believe this person is still in this position, by far and away the worst moderator.

not necessarily worship or pathetic to be genuinely saddened by the loss of someone whom entertained you and who you looked forward to watching or listening to.
I remember Floyd well, not particularly into cooking, but loved his style and character. I for one will miss him, but neither worship him or consider my appreciation for his skill, talent and wit as pathetic. Cruel to label him as an alcoholic has been, we all have our faults and personal demons.

Ahh, but if sportsmen are in celeb magazines like Hello, do they not come celebs by courting it?

Eg beckhams, rooney et al.

PS I should say that a lot of these sportsmen and women sell their weddings to Hello. They are not just in it because they have been snapped by some long lense parparazzi, in fact that sort of stuff doesn't go in Hello, it would jeopardised the paid stuff.
