So apparently I have "slammed" Ricky Gervais in the press as being a "fat idiot". Oh dear. Ricky's comments about the British film industry were definitely a little unfair but whatever I said on Heart FM was intended in the spirit of mutual teasing that myself Ricky have always indulged in. I am not in a position to genuinely accuse anybody of being fat, or for that matter of being an idiot. Whatever public feud is subsequently encouraged/fueled/blown out of proportion as a result of this, it is entirely the doing of those gleefully stood around clapping their hands and shouting "fight".

It is true however that we used to be lovers.

Sx

p.s. Ricky and I have laughed about this, although his initial response was "It's glandular you cunt."

"It's glandular you cunt."

"It's glandular you cunt"

This is exactly what I'm going to say the next time I'm at the gym sweating my fat ass off and some skinny little bitch gives me a look like I shouldn't be there. Gervais + Pegg = Awesome

I think all media people just got out of high school or hang around the water cooler too much.

I love you no matter how round your head is, what your weight is... and that extra inch you told us about.... is just a gift from God!!

And yet you are focused on righting the transgression of the misquote and diplomatic about it enough not to single out the offending publication. This is why you are The Chief.

I, however, am less mannered. It was the cuntybollocking Daily Mail. *curtsey*

p.s. That time Ricky called in to the XFM show, I would have sworn it was him and Nick that had something going on the side, while I detected a hint of jealousy on your part. Color me shocked. ;)

I've been telling my family and friends for years that my being an idiot was the direct result of a glandular disorder.

Thank you for letting me know that I'm not alone in this problem.

Well, with the anticipated release of HTLF coming out in 3 days, you could look at it as a sign that you've finally arrived. After all, all big stars are well known jerk offs so there's no way you could be rising as high as you have and still remain a nice guy. It just does NOT happen.

As for you two being lovers well, I'm sure there are a lot of women and men who are jealous of that fact. Who's jealous of who is another story but I could look into taking a poll if I get bored enough ;)

At least he didn't say he was big boned. To quote the man himself:

Is it just me or are certain parts of the media going a bit mental of late? Oh well, at least I know I can always come here for a good dose of truth and humour. And to restore my faith in humanity :-D

I Don't Like Nobody That Don't Like Me

 
A glandular-related excuse is even better than chalking up a bit of heft to a slow metabolism, as I do. I also use it as my excuse for my eternal irritability and utter aversion to ever going outside.

Awesome comeback, R. G. ! Surely it was all in fun! (Is it true that most smokers are afraid they'll become fat if they stop?) Now, there are degrees of fat acceptance that should be followed, of course. Generally speaking, I think it's great to be able to lower the ol' PC shield every now and then and have a good snicker. Just wait for the return blow. If it doesn't come, then it's time to take off your hat and apologize. It's much better than the behind closed doors secretive talk, like "he really is fat, you know." Duh! Shit, I'm fat! I know it. Mine's from laziness and will-power (and the lame excuse, not enough time in the day to exercise, which I should be doing right now). But if you got a good cut-down, bring it on! I'll jovially throw it right back at ya! Hell, I'll even give you a piggyback ride, Simon! Just not for long. Loves ya!

Grr press have no idea of teasing humour. We all call our mates 'tossers' etc hehe its a term of endearment!

Don't they even realise you and Ricky go way back? His little bit in Spaced is an indication!

Love Ricky, great reply to you

I'll admit, I'm one of those who gleefully stand around, "clapping their hands and shouting "fight".

My sister and brother do it too, but it's not genetic, it's environment. We get it from the old days when we were children, watching our parents fiercely go at it with each other, and all us kids could do was stand there, gleefully clapping our hands and shouting "Fight! Fight! Fight!"

It was a simpler time. A better time.

Unfortunately, as long as there are morons who will buy those horrible tabloid mags & papers, there will always be bottom-feeding muck-rakers who will dish it out. Sad fact. As always, Simon, you've handled the situation with absolute class. Feel the love. dolfyn. ;o)

It was pretty obvious on who was gonna win, it was a good idea for Ricky on his part to quit acting, I mean, his voice at times was extremely unbearable! That comeback was definately a "FINISH HIM" moment!

Um, maybe it's hormonal NOW, but not back in the early 80's.

Sorry, I didn't see the 'This user disables HTML comments' before I posted a photo of Ricky from 1983. He's so thin and pretty it's ridiculous.
