You said he lived up the road. I presume you run into him every now and then. My suggestion, since he won't answer my emails to him, would be to backhand him one and tell him to wise up. The guy is a BRITISH cook. That is like being an ITALIAN driver. Has no business lecturing others. "I am the best ice skater in Jamaica!" Er, OK, considering the competition. I'd rather talk to the best ice skater in, say, Iceland or somewhere that iced over a lot.
As someone proud to be Mancunian maybe not born but bred and raised, baptised in Manchester and learned English there, wtf?
How? I mean, apart from producing a cooking show, pardon me, cooking involves actually putting food together with heat and stuff, not simply tossing a few random ingredients together in a messy, unadorned fashion, a food show which is badly shot, badly edited, and half the time consists of him going on about his band and his scooter and buying fish from some guy named Nardo, what's he done? I mean yeah he's a multimillionaire, but he's from Essex for Christ's sake.
Dude, whatever. OK, let me use another analogy. "I'm the best dentist in England" ain't saying much. Best chef in France is another thing altogether.
Not making fun. Just setting the facts straight and providing people that didnt know this a knowledgable fact for the day.
:O I...agree...with things that...irongoth is saying :O ...Seriously. I cant bear Jamie Oliver. Annoying little gamin that he is. And exactly, being the best chef in Englands hardly saying much. Back to the accents, ive just realised that Italians, Scots and Irish usually turn me off just by speaking. Aggressive scotsman throwing things at eachother? My worst nightmare
I havent yet met an irish woman who wasnt called Mary, or had Mary somewhere in her name. Same with the guys and Patrick. I wonder if they exist
Jesus, verseau it's like you French Allo, dis is Jean Marc, Jean Guy, Jean Michel, Jean Andre, Jean Luc, Jean Marie, Etienne (middle name turns out to be Jean) and Jeannot.
