surely - and this was done to death last time - Ashcroft is actually worse than Barley. Barley is at least an enthusiast, he's into the shit he's into. Ashcroft sneers from the sidelines but takes the money..

I disagree that Dan Ashcroft is meant to be one of the idiots. He defines the idiots as 'self regarding consumer slaves...who sculpt their hair to causual perfection...babble into handheld twit machines etc' - i.e barley, rufus, ned and co.
Dans a mid 30s disillusioned ex-"cool" type, shattered and has a drink problem. He wants to get of the "cool" scene but has no transferable skills to do so - as his flopped interview with the Weekend on Sunday showed. I don't think the fact that he's incompetant, unrelaible and generally hopeless qualify him as an idiot in the Barley sense of the word.

yes, but an honest idiot might perhaps be better than a cynical and sneering hack.

Well, their certainly funnier to watch on telly!
But who would you rather live with Barley or Ashcroft? It's a tuff call - a loud obnoxious using bullying twat or a quiet guy who probably never pays his rent and gets your two grand camera confiscated...mmmm....

say NO to the vaccine
I think that Nathan Barley's ok. I much prefer the real thing though. The fakes of East and South London who believe that their jobs in the media are important, but really are just a novelty act for themselves to wank over. Now these people really do believe they have a personality, and they are adamant to prove so to everyone they meet. People who believe they are being radical, but are just cowtailing just as much to the institutions they pretend they are rebelling against.
I know these people, I have done so for many years, and after a while they stop being funny, and become boring. The reason I left the East End was out of sheer weariness of these people. I feel that Nathan Barley is clever in the fact that it portrays these types to an absolute "T", but I can't find it amusing anymore, so it becomes alright, but a little pointless.

Shit.
I kind of agree with Harrison. FUCK!
Few years ago I went for a job interview during the dot com boom, they had offices in an old mill, the chief dip shit interviewed me, who asked questions like:
do you chose the blue pill or the red pill?
you make a cup of tea, do you sip or sup?
what's the daftest thing you have ever said standing up?
He conducted the entire interview whilst watching Sky with his feet on the desk, and throwing jelly beans into his mouth. He was a fucking TWAT! He even had a fucking designer tshirt with a hammer and sickle on... OH THE CUNT! I could of stabbed him with his automatic pencil sharpner.
Fucking lads mags magazines all over his desk, and an iMac covered in bumper sticks. It was fucking awful.
I got the job funnily enough, but I took a better one.
Bet they took meetings standing up. CUNTS.

Went to Santa's Ghetto last night. Forgotten just how similar the Barley tag is to the real Banksy one!!!

ahhh i remember those days, when i could turn up to work looking like i fell out of a tree, still pissed and was allowed to eat all the free jelly belly beans on reception, and the hilarity of replacing your fellow workers with inflatable aliens as they left to work elsewhere or where made redundant
.it was never as bad as Sugar ape though it has to be said

Barleys sex rap was fucking wicked thou.
"going south with me mouth", to be honest that really made me cringe
.I do like his little mate Jo completely stupid, terrible hair and a bit childlike too.
"clare i waited all night in my pj's for you and you let Nathan do a fuck in your arse" Classic

Exasperated, not angry.
twas funny flicking over between last nights edition & the Art Safari (or whatever its called) on BBC2. The safari was about this german tosser who 'recreated' rooms as art.
"this room is very meaningful"
"What is it about it that is meaningful?"
"....."
"Okay, shall I help you paint it then?"
total arse. the critic, who was totally besotted with the guy, just kept on rambling daf ttheory after daft theory.
Then they visited the guys exhibition, where all the Germans were going 'my basement is just like this...no, of course it's not scary, don't be daft.'
Peter4x4 or whatever his name was actually had a far more original idea than the 'actual' artist

Do you know how TV buying works?
The only reason Jam didn't have ad breaks is because C4 bottled trying to sell the airtime to anyone (understandably as well) - my guess is they could have punted it to someone like Sony or Virgin. Barley is a easy-peasy sell, doesn't do anything horribly offensive and above all else, brings in audiences that are usually really hard to reach.
