Obviously I'm going wrong somewhere;)

Dave's 40th birthday party got a mention on Grimmy's show today. Matt mentioned that he and Tina went and Nick complained (jokingly) that he didn't get an invite, then he wished Dave a happy belated birthday. No mention of whether Chris was there...

[bmstinton93]

We can pretty much guarantee he wasn't after Dave called him a fat * on Twitter last week

[Topher]

Did he?

[Nicola_Red]

Ha, I missed that too! I've lost track of twitter a bit over the past few weeks.

[Topher]

I think I've worked out what he's referring to. He patently did not call him a fat * - he displayed a picture from Viz referring to him that happened to call Chris Moyles a fat * - that is different. You may as well be working for The Sun there, Ben.

[Nicola_Red]

Oh yeah, that's not the same at all...

[Sidders]

In Chris's first book he talks about a time when a big boss at Radio 1 wanted Dave off the afternoon show.

I don't remember reading that either to be honest.

So that suggests that Dave and Matt did get along during their time together on the show. I had always been under the impression that neither really cared much for the other.

* hell Sidders.

Just thought I'd drop by.

See some have thought the same as Ben on there though.

I can guarantee I am not the only forum member to think this...

[Sidders]

Haven't Viz always referred to Chris as 'Fat *'? I seem to remember my Viz loving friend referring to Moyles as Fat * even back in '98. Howdy kids.

Yep I've read Viz for years (as well as reading the Guardian :p ) and on the odd occassion they did slag him off.

However you sould read the comments on the facebook page, Noel Edmonds gets quite a bit of abuse.

That does not mean you're right - a significant number of people think Nigel Farage is a nice bloke they could have a pint with. In my opinion, those people are morons.

Ben: the simple fact is that Dave posted someone else's words. Those words largely referred to himself, though they did get in a swipe at Chris too - he couldn't very well post the image proving that he was in Viz and leave the bit about Chris out, could he? Dave may (or may not) think Chris is a fat * - the image he posted proves nothing either way and cannot reasonably be construed as him calling Chris a fat *.

[chrysostom]

I'm with Toph.

[bmstinton93]

That Nigel Farage reference certainly works wonders on me...

[The Deadly]

Each to their own.

He's the leader of UKIP and an utter, utter * who is privately educated and pretending to be like the rest of us.

[The Deadly]

He's extremely clever though and will change the face of British politics forever come the next election. I'm not a UKIP supporter by any means but your assessment that someone is a "*" because you disagree with their opinion is ridiculous.

[dimtimjim]

I disagree. You *.

He will do well in the Europeans, but I suspect (and hope) he still won't get a single MP in the General Election.

I never said I thought he was a * because I disagree with him - I detest his politics, that's true, but frankly he comes across as a * every single time he's on TV (and there are many times - considering he's got no MPs, it's ridiculous that he's given so much air time). Furthermore, his private education and dodgy expenses show him to be no better than the political classes he claims to be so different from. Also, he generally turns a blind eye to the racist, homophobic nut jobs that his activists increasingly show themselves up to be. UKIP are the BNP for the middle classes I'm afraid - so he is their version of Nick Griffin, who I would also call a complete and utter *.

[The Deadly]

Well explained.

Unfortunately for UKIP it appears the Tories have begun to turn the economic situation around which is a complete disaster for the UKIP general election campaign. A lot of disillusioned Tories (me included) will probably end up voting Conservative again rather than protesting by voting UKIP. UKIP needed the country to grind to a financial halt in order to gain MP's.

[Topher]

The economic situation may be turning round on paper, but whose pockets is the extra money going into? All this talk of boosting the economy and we're doing so well now is perverse, given the numbers of people using food banks. As a country we're stinking rich - that hasn't changed, we're the sixth or seventh richest country in the world, but the balance of the wealth is so ridiculously tilted in the direction of the very, very wealthy and that's where the economy is doing well. Unfortunately, the poor are still poor - but then Cameron and his mates don't give a shit about those. They'll privatise services on the cheap for their wealthy mates to buy up and * people over with and won't even worry about getting re-elected, because there'll be a cushy, extremely well-paid job on the other side of the election as a reward for doing a grand job making their posh, rich friends even richer.

Yay, go economy.
