But not for any bad things they did, just because your opinion changed for some reason
Richard Osman - used to find him an affable guy. Now he irritates the scrotum off me. What do you think at home hmm?
Lucy Beaumont - found her proper annoying but now I think shes very funny. Think its because I realised she isnt doing a forced daft act and she really is like she is
Richard Osman always seemed decent enough on Pointless and absolutely insufferable - I mean seriously what a smug bellend - on Twitter. Obviously his swanning away from Pointless to write his Hideo Kojima-endorsed crime novels* means my exposure to him is way more the irritating online persona that defends the Sunday Times paywall and posted that shite about a witty centrist party or whatever
*speaking of this, he could absolutely have focused on his novels and stayed on Pointless - you’ve got a laptop right there. Alex (I’m not indulging him and calling him Xander, absolutely not†) won’t see what you’re doing. Write your novels, have a cheeky look at the official music video for WAP by Cardi B and Meghan thee Stallion - it’s fine m8
†you think you’re cool because people call you a nickname that starts with an X but you obviously made them do it, no normal person would shorten Alexander to Xander. Alex is right there. Alex is a lovely name. Stop trying to be some wannabe cybergoth, Mr Armstrong
Never agreed with a post more. Xander. Ffs. Think I hate Pointless
What a quick like from @manches
I’m a free and easy single man in my thirties
sometimes I think it’d be quite funny to insist people shorten my name to Xander
“yeah yeah name’s James but everyone just calls me Xander”
The final nail in the coffin was when he married the daughter of a Tory MP.
In tenuous claim to fame news, my mum’s cousin has recently moved to the same retirement village as Richard Osman’s mum. At some point this summer I am due to take my mum to visit, so will report back on any true crime activities.
Richard Osman’s mum used to teach a friend of a friend at primary school and her dad brought his Suede albums to parent’s evening in the hopes of getting them signed by Mat Osman
(iirc, they did get signed - very wholesome story)
also Mat’s book has been compared to Pynchon so I assume he’s a good egg
and also Brett said I had a “solid name” once
and actually while we’re at it, Bernard Butler had some very kind words to say about my local independently run music instrument emporium
Have you considered Xames
This is now the extended Osman family thread
Mark Lamarr. Found his super-sarcastic schtick on Buzzcocks to be immensely dislikable but I’ve come to like him a lot since. Still waiting for the same to happen with Simon Amstell.
Black Country, New Road?
Get Grandma’s House on
So fucking good.
Richard osman is the epitome of someone who makes a physical characteristic a part of their personality
Pete and Sophie off Gogglebox are good now
Jodi Picoult, as of this morning
Rishi Sunak. I think he’s great after watching that football clip
