Tim Westwood Radio 1: WTF?!

[Thora_v1]

Sorry but a 40plus man boasting on Radio 1 about lapdancers in his hummer is a sad cunt.

Anyone, regardless of age or gender, who boasts about lapdancers in their hummer is a sad cunt.

 

[noodles]

ENTIRELY AFFECTED AND INAUTHENTIC vocal pretension

I'd say that's open to debate really. If it's "entirely affected", then most of the kids (yep, including the white ones) round where I live are fond of the same pretence. Twats?

Maybe but I can at least understand why young males would make a big deal about it. No excuses for older people with more life experience.

again, don't be an arse. a sixteen year old kid fitting in with his mates and adopting a street voice is ENTIRELY different to man from a middle class Lincolnshire family pushing 50 doing the same thing. and you know it too

 

[Iam]

So, you don't like him much, Dub?

 

[Dubversion]

i've always thought he was a swaggering twat, but it reached a head when a Mobb Deep gig i was going to (and really looking forward to) was cancelled after the shooting because it was worried his presence there might cause problems.

well, how about the twat stays at home and the gig carries on?

 

[Kid_Eternity]

nor me, but i'm reliably informed he used to pretend to out rappers considered a bit 'light on their feet'. i'll google..

Didn't he once "out" Dr Dre?

 

[magneze]

Tim Westwoods show has always been poor. Full of posturing and shite. Many a time have I heard people say that US rappers respect him because of the music. I'm sure it's nothing to do with the millions of listeners. Oh no.

Having said that, the fact that he does pull in the listeners must mean he's doing something right. Just not for me.

 

[absinthe]

Isn't it a tad patronising that people like Normski can put on this sub-Flavor Flav act, and not get pulled up, but Westwood does get criticised, because he is white?

Is it because as a middle-class white middle-aged man he is capable of behaving 'better', but Normski 'doesn't know any better'?

 

[absinthe]

Very patronising. Are you saying that sixteen year olds are not capable of thinking for themselves?

 

[absinthe]

we're mocking an ENTIRELY AFFECTED AND INAUTHENTIC vocal pretension

This mocking doesn't extend to Mark Lamarr, though?

normski was ridiculed all the time, and besides, when was the last time you saw him on telly or heard him on the radio?

two tankards hanging above the same bar.

you're shaping up to be a pisspoor troll, monkey boy.

Normski was a fucking laughing stock, still is among a lot of people. i think your post says more about your attitude and than the fictitious attitude of mind you're so clumsily trying to expose.

 

[Dubversion]

Very patronising. Are you saying that sixteen year olds are not capable of thinking for themselves?

no.

and you know what? i'm also not going to seek to explain myself further, because
a) you know exactly what i mean
b) you're not worth the effort
c) you're turning into a total dick.

What do you mean by this insult 'monkey' boy?

 

[Dubversion]

This mocking doesn't extend to Mark Lamarr, though?

well since you're the only person i've ever seen refer to Lamarr as a mockney, and see i don't see him trying to appear down with the youth in any sense, it's a fairly fucking lame comparison, no?

 

[absinthe]

no.

Try not to be so irate, your point is being obscured in a haze of spittle and bile.

Ooh, potty mouth!

Lamarr is a middle-aged white west-country man who talks in a fake London accent.

Too close to home?

 

[Dubversion]

What do you mean by this insult 'monkey' boy?

well since i suspect i'll be insulting you a great deal in future, i was seeking to broaden my range from merely 'cunt'.

although it would suffice.

 

[Dubversion]

oh, please..

Well seeing as the insult 'monkey' is usually used by odious racists, I'd like you to explain why you keep using it. We can see that it's an ineffective means to inflate your weak argument, and maybe attempt to derail the thread, but why 'monkey'?

Heh heh heh famous last words!

Oh for fuck sake - Dub obviously wasn't referring to your race

 

[Dubversion]

yes, absinthe. i'm a virulent racist with a mockney accent.

you're still a cunt.

 

[Dubversion]

Oh for fuck sake - Dub obviously wasn't referring to your race

he's a pisspoor windup merchant, thora, don't give him the oxygen of attention.

 

[absinthe]

Maybe, maybe not. He has a nasty habit of calling people 'monkeys'.

 

[Dubversion]

Maybe, maybe not. He has a nasty habit of calling people 'monkeys'.

factually incorrect, as any search will show.

if you're going to be a trollcunt, at least show a bit of rigour

 

[Thora_v1]

My boyfriend calls me monkey as a term of endearment I think it's quite sweet.

Going to be a what? What's with this vaginal obsession?

Ho-hum.

Back to the thread after potty-mouth's tantrum. Westwood is an actor, he appeals to teenagers into rap. Just like other 'actors' will appeal to middle-aged ex-punks and goths.

It's showbiz, get over it.

 

[absinthe]

Ahhh.

But potty-mouth is not my boyfriend!
