James and OZ in the Daily Mail 10-01

[lindenchase]

Nice longish interview, not much new information though.

That is really rather sweet, I do agree with them both about the nanny state though. Similar to James' rant on breakfast telly but I don't see why those of us who drink responsibly should suffer for the minority that don't. I like to get a bit clattered from time to time but I think
that's my right.

Like the idea of a series about trains or planes from them though, proper geeky stuff, that could be a lot of fun.

Oh that was a nice interview. Thanks for the link Lindenchase

Thank you, LC, for the link. I enjoyed reading it alot too and am glad he had a nice time in Sri Lanka. I agree with him about being a responsible drinker. I've been drinking alcoholic beverages most of my life and have to say that I enjoy it most for the different flavours that each different brand has and the slight buzz I get after one drink. Yes, I know. I'm a cheap date. I don't need some government official telling me how much I can or can't drink. I'll darn well do as I please.

Hang on, the Daily Wail, interviewing a TG presenter and not I repeat NOT having a go at them??

When i saw this this i thought OMG whats the DM moaning about now so nice to see a nice interview for a change.
You see DM you can be a proper paper if you try.

[lindenchase]

They have been nice about James before. I think it's Jeremy they don't like.

James smiles sheepishly and then forks a sprout off his colleague's roast dinner. As Oz begins to complain, James counters, 'You had your knife and fork together!
Everyone knows that means you've finished.'

This has put a HUGE smile on my face. It drives me mad when people don't bother to put their cutlery together when they finish a meal, to the extent that I can actually feel myself twitching on the inside if people just abandon their cutlery. I know it's old fashioned, and probably a bit anal these days, but I think knives and forks abandoned willy-nilly on a plate looks sloppy. I'm glad James recognises the value of such things. Of course, in polite company, the neatly-aligned knife and fork does not signal open season on the diner's leftovers, but as the company was Oz and a journalist from the Daily Fail, the 'polite company' rule clearly doesn't apply

Glad I'm not the only one Wy ;d

[Rhapsody]

*wailing* James eats sprouts, the last boils from Satan's bottom!

[Wyvern]

Given his reputation, I don't even want to think about the effects sprouts might have on James's bottom...

[maureen]

Yep, as nice as it is to look at, he's claimed to have problems with it.
