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?

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"

I feel stupider for having read the Noel interview.

Still, he and vile Tory rag GQ deserve each other.
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 imagine he has a small collection of novels. Two Irvine Welshes, the complete Kevin Sampson, maybe a John King. None of them finished.

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]

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
