curious as to his views on chocolate bars

Gallagher may be a self-atrophying cunt but he got rich thru his lack of endeavours. what fucking excuse does this Danny Wallace or any other adult male sub-chode who still worships at his shitty-haired altar have?

that's strange, he doesn't look like a cunt

christ a quick perusal of Wallace's CV tells me a) he is evil and b) some ilxor is gonna wander by shortly to tell us that some horrible fucking thing he's done is "pretty good actually"

footballer of the future (Noodle Vague), Wednesday, 16 October 2013 11:08 (ten years ago) link

He looks like Sue Perkins.

What else can I say that's nice, comparitively?

Mark G, Wednesday, 16 October 2013 11:36 (ten years ago) link

Why would you want to?

Matt DC, Wednesday, 16 October 2013 11:39 (ten years ago) link

good point.

I feel stupider for having read the Noel interview.

Defund Phil Collins (stevie), Wednesday, 16 October 2013 11:57 (ten years ago) link

Still, he and vile Tory rag GQ deserve each other.

Defund Phil Collins (stevie), Wednesday, 16 October 2013 11:57 (ten years ago) link

Too f***ing right. Novels and the people who write them, like I say, are putting themselves a few rungs above the rest of us. They're purporting to be intellectual, and... for you to write a book, is for you to say, "I am better than you." My 68 million records beat your one book.

of course those people who boast about selling tens of millions of records are in no way trying to put themselves "a few rungs above the rest of us". An amazing display of passive aggressive anti-intellectualism, well done Noel!

I like to think I have learnt a thing or two about music (Neil S), Wednesday, 16 October 2013 12:27 (ten years ago) link

jesus christ that interview. my brain was actually struggling for oxygen reading that, like i was being smothered by a huge pillow full of bloated ignorance.

To what extent would u consider ng to hold the opinions of an ordinary briton

Think no one should ever suggest even in jest "dont care about the music, but he's good copy" ever again

that is unreadable

I would like to see his bookshelf. His collection of books about shit that happened.

woof, Wednesday, 16 October 2013 12:54 (ten years ago) link

I imagine he has a small collection of novels. Two Irvine Welshes, the complete Kevin Sampson, maybe a John King. None of them finished.

Tony Parsons.

Guy is a comedian. I doubt he even believes the things he says himself.

Saying that, I can imagine he never reads a book/novel.

Mark G, Wednesday, 16 October 2013 13:00 (ten years ago) link

Also, is his more famous brother an inveterate church-goer?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humourist

The material written or performed by humorists tends to be more subtle and cerebral than the material created by stand-up comics and comedy writers.[citation needed]
The intention is often to provoke wry smiles and amusement rather than outright belly laughs.[citation needed]

Dom Joly and Danny Wallace are to team up for a BBC Radio 5 Live show about the bizarre traditions of the festive season.

Most terrifying sentence ever written?

only virtue of wallace is that any success or visibility he has might upset Dave Gorman. i can imagine it as a downbeat 50s london novel, increasingly bitter comedian on the way down starting to fixate on his former sidekick, believes he's stolen his life.

"Dom Joly and.." is enough

his views don't reflect those of the average briton, but the general level of ignorance he displays is pretty much representative of, without using labels, a certain section of our society.

Someone probably could have done a better variation on this, I just woke up and saw this and thought someone was bound to get their first if I didn't.

Saw "Dom Joly and.." is enough I mean, seemed like an open goal.

trying to think of labels that would have sounded as half sinister as this sentence construction.

'half as sinister' even.

Now I'm worried this looks like I was having a go at Outdoorfish, which I wasn't, something just made me laugh about the was he phrased that. I should remember to not externalise my interior life on ilx before I've been awake for more than 10 minutes (or 'trying thinking before you post'), sorry.

There's a lack of... soul on Radio 1. (bends), Wednesday, 16 October 2013 15:21 (ten years ago) link

i think he was wrong to make the generalization tbh, the "section of society" it reflects is oafs, a category that knows no socioeconomic bounds imo

footballer of the future (Noodle Vague), Wednesday, 16 October 2013 15:33 (ten years ago) link

there is ignorance in all socioeconomic strata, it's just easy to stereotype what types belong to which i guess

OutdoorFish, Wednesday, 16 October 2013 15:37 (ten years ago) link

yeah, I've never met anyone as actively proud of their own ignorance as some of the public school types I encountered at university.

There's a lack of... soul on Radio 1. (bends), Wednesday, 16 October 2013 15:39 (ten years ago) link

many of whom were big Oasis fans, thinking about it.

OutdoorFish, Wednesday, 16 October 2013 15:49 (ten years ago) link

what novels would u have to have read and be able to discuss to what standard in order not to qualify for oaf socioeconomic standard pls, i ask as an interested outsider

way to quote the one in which the narrator brags about beating on the paddies

unblog your plug (darraghmac), Wednesday, 16 October 2013 16:27 (ten years ago) link

it's not so much that someone hasn't read certain books, it's aggressively asserting that a large swathe of culture is somehow a terrible thing solely because you personally can't be bothered to make an effort to understand it at any level, that is the oafish thing.

not a novel as such, but according to all creationists a true work of fiction.
