Was she on that old program Light Lunch? I liked that.
AA Gill is a baboon-killing c**t Page 5
Quote: sunbeam @ November 22 2009, 11:47 AM GMTYou rotten lot. Gill can write any currently working critic into a bag and on any subject. Today's demolition of the appalling Sue Perkins being just one example. A master of the English language, of hyperbole, irony and simple tweaking of pompous people's noses he has no UK equal. Not since Clive James has a TV critic been so erudite, well-informed and well-read and above all so willing to say the things people don't want to hear at the time they least wish to hear it. I don't think it matters a jot what he is like as a person, what's on the page is what counts and it adds up to a considerable body of work.
Oh and Giles Coren is, as someone, not Gill, said, 'only good at burping and being a c**t' which is crude, but deadly accurate. And funny.
Are you Mr Gill?

A small part of me dies inside when I see you swear, Marc. 
That's why I shy away from your books, I fear they will be full of Jack Delaney telling people to F**king F**k the F**kk off before he F**ks their F**kking A-holes! I couldn't take that kind of disillusionment.
As for Sheridan Smith. She's hot. Although not as hot as Montserrat Lombard.
As for Gill. He's not bad in small doses. Although I prefer Brooker.
I think Sheridan Smith is a good comedy actress.
I prefer Giles Coren's restaurant reviews to Gill's and Caitlin Moran's TV reviews to Gill's.

I want her to serve me coffee with that accent.
Not so hot with that glans on her head in Ashes to Ashes though.

Apologies for the F word, stressful week and whiskey probably/
You're not wrong about that in the books!
Did you like the six foot two beauty I put in my episode especially for you by the way.
Sheridan Smith has great comic timing, she was excellent in Love Soup.

I missed it! I had to go out on Friday afternoon after all!
Although I do like a tall woman. A daughter of a friend is six two, although I'm careful not to make any lewd comments about her as he's six six and quite scary. 
Sheridan Smith is a good comic actor I agree.

Yes! It was great.
I guess most people who didn't spend their teenage years waking up to Light Lunch just don't get her appeal. She is very funny (to me).

'To like one solipsistic columnist Ms Dagger, may be regarded as a misfortune; to like two looks like foolishness'
Still, as they both work on the same paper, at least you save a bit of money.

Or a dislike of upper class twits. 
Quote: jim field @ November 22 2009, 1:49 PM GMTYou know what? I agree with you.
Yes! 
One day I hope to return the compliment, Jim. 
Are you sure Sunbeam isn't Gil in disguise?

AA Gill? Or Gil Scott Heron? (I'm being a miserable sod tonight, sorry. )
Just call him Tony.
