You're not a bully - you're a coward. Mock me with humour about what I say fine but mocking the picture I put up as my avatar and you lose my respect.

Hang on, are you James Bolam? You're my hero.

He wasn't his dogsbody, he was the caretaker of the building.

Yeah, but he treated him like shit, from what I can remember.

Calm down. I genuinely apoloigise if I've upset you, but you do seem the most remarkably thinned skinned of indivduals. I've only ever posted three comments poking fun at you. One was a quick throwaway comment in another thread, hardly worth getting flustered over, and two here. The latter two came about purely because you responded to one of my posts in a niggly and antagonistic way.

It was when I had a picture of me that he thought it was good fun to take the piss out of how I look - that is why my avatar no longer shows me!

Other people took the piss out of the way you look long before I did. I just followed the crowd.

He's a goodie, isn't he?

Yum yum!

Anyway, I notice that I did what I for some reason rather often do, and put 'Time' instead of 'Tim'. Damnit.

So here it is: Tim*

Alan - I don't think he meant it horribly, and he apologised, and as he said...others were poking fun too.

Let's move on to naming other stars that make us reach for the remote!

OK then, Sharon Osbourne

I don't know if he's been mentioned, but Paul O'Grady does my head in. That voice just goes through me.

Yes they did in a good natured way - your comment, chipolata, was that you wish I hadn't changed my avatar because it always reminded you to watch The Hills Have Eyes. Cute. I shall let it rest and I will accept your apology. Call me thin-skinned I really don't care, have fun!

I admit, that wasn't a nice joke. Sorry. Now lets unite and attack Manchesters Trendy Chorlton!

Where's he gone, actually?

He's waiting in the shadows with a nine hundred treatsie on why Coronation Street is funnier than Peep Show.

I don't mind him so much, but on voices I'd like to expand to pretty much any northern type!

And:

Marcus Brigstocke

You hate Marcus Brigstocke? How? Why?
