Jonathan Ross returns...

Which nodding dogs?

I do apologise if I share an opinion which is different to yours (as far as I can see from your posts above, you prefer to surround yourself with your own luvvies who share your views) and I prefer my opinion to be formed in my head rather than by some half-baked journo on £5.75 an hour in the broom cupboard of the Telegraph but when we're looking for nodding dogs, look no further than to your own posts.

Before you throw accusations of "clique, clique!!" like a broken record, I've never considered myself to be part of any sort of clique on here or at the other place. Because it's just an internet forum.

Heh,heh,heh.
Did someone say bitter old queen ?
We can all have different views on the merits of Ross but there's no doubt this incident has damaged the reputation of the BBC - and you don't just have to read the Daily Mail to hear that.
I thought it spoke volumes that very few people in the Corporation stood up to defend Ross - I would imagine they enjoyed seeing him hoist by his own petard after his comments about his salary being worth 1,000 journalists.

Because there was nothing to "stand up and defend". Most people would probably be anxious to get on with their jobs without adding voices to an already overflowing pot of views.

Again, you haven't listened to anyone who's asked you whether you know Ross' real salary. Or put it all into perspective.

So since you won't listen to anyone else's views, I won't listen to yours. I've said all I need to say, and I don't need to waste any more time on you.

Oh please don't take your football home with you.
You seem to get upset very easily over just an internet forum.

Can I just interject here that I'm *tickled pink* at the thought of having a "clique of nodding dogs" behind me.

How wonderful.

Have that one on me - although I'm a bit worried about JAH. He gets upset very easily.
Talk about Disgusted from Tonbridge Wells.
Whatever.

Dear Jugalug,

Please stop sending me Private Messages on this subject as I will not be opening any more.
If you have an opinion on the matter at least have the courage to join the other nodding dogs and post them in an open forum.

Many thanks.

Dear showbizguru,

I sent you a private message calling you an idiot. I'm not entirely sure that is to do with the subject of Jonathan Ross.

Regards.

I'm just surprised that you wasted valuable time PM'ing a message like that when you were so involved in your own " busy " forum that you advertise on here.
I mean with 18 posts alone in the television section for the entire month of January you must have your hands full.

Personal snipes at Jugalug just shines a light onto the dire quality of your character, Mr Guru. In addition to this, barking the same old polemic like a Yorkshire Terrier caught in barbed wire will not serve to endear your opinion to any receptive ears/eyes that may exist; valid though those opinions may be. It has been made crystal clear that you oppose Mr Ross's return to television following his suspension; but I will reiterate the following point: the offence has been punished and the punishment served. I suggest you allow him to continue entertaining the sizeable audience he attracts whilst (I would imagine happily for you) distancing yourself accordingly. One suspects your principled stand would not allow Jeffrey Archer to continue writing books, or not allow Stephen Fry television time - both have been convicted and imprisoned for crimes in the past. Are we to judge Ross for a prank phone call when our media are already inundated with reformed characters with pasts they'd prefer to let lie?

It like this - I disagree with you.
In any other publicly-funded organisation he would have been fired for bringing the company into disrepute.
And as for personal snipes - so far today in here I've been called an old queen and an idiot.
But hey - I choose not to lift up my skirt and flounce off like a pantomime dame.

Oh of course, he brought the BBC into disrepute..! Silly me. I understand it all now.
