I think you're *waaayyy* off the mark with that comment mate.

Maybe replace "race" with "culture" and you might have a point.
Quote: Griff @ December 18 2009, 12:05 PM GMTI certainly wouldn't want any daughter of mine marrying a Radio Three listener.
Are there any Radio Three listeners?
Quote: Griff @ December 18 2009, 12:09 PM GMTProbably not the marrying kind.
Talking of snobbish old queens, did anyone see that BBC Four Storyville documentary on Nicky Haslam? Hilarious. 
I'd watch/listen to any panel show with Brian Sewell as host, with David Starkey and Nicky Haslam as team captains. (Or if Nicky's too busy, Sir Roy Strong.)
Quote: Griff @ December 18 2009, 12:18 PM GMTI'm a bit embarrassed that I don't know who Nicky Haslam is.
It's very common not to know who Nicky Haslam is. He's an interior designer, aesthete and party-goer, who has spent most of his life meeting famous people. I didn't know a lot about him until I saw the documentary, which was very good. Craig Brown did a very good parody of him in one of his Private Eye 'Diaries'. The man has his own bizarre and somewhat inconsistent ideas of what should be classed as "common".
That's so common.

19 The avergae BCGer is probably from London or Wales. Which is nice for the Welsh ones.

I met him at a fashion thing, he gave me an up and down, looked at my name tag - considered my surname (which had been misspelt and therefore the same as a high profile family of socialites) for a bit and then decided to blank me!

He was probably intimidated by your raw fashion talent.

Ha! No, I was wearing a Vivienne Westwood cocktail dress and a vintage 40s hat. He just realised I was a nobody and not worth acknowledging.

It never fails to impress me how so many women can remember what they were wearing on specific days, possibly years previously.
I've been to a fair few fashion shows and I'm pretty certain I was wearing jeans for all of them, but that's about the extent of it.
I have just watched an interview with Nicky Hasslam what a dick.
Basically; I knew some famous people, they're now dead, I'm not I will talk about them.
I hope his coke dealer or pimp stab him to death and piss on his corpse.

It was about 10 years ago! I only remember that event because I have some photos and it was an evening award event rather than a show or press launch.

In all honesty, I have no idea what this is.
