A bit of a result for the DL 'committee' should he still be around for 2017.

Sounds like the food critic should have been a bit more critical of Big Tobacco... Well he did quit 15 years ago and probably found it harder to give up smoking being a recovering alcoholic.I wonder if he will start drinking again .I would.Apparently the chemo has shrunk some of the tumours and with only 42 days to go he should still be around then.The odds of him surviving 2017 are very slim though.Wonder if he will be number 1 next year. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Weebl 216 Posted November 20, 2016 If you read his Wikipedia biography all he does is slag off different peoples and places like the Welsh and the Manx people and generally get himself into trouble by being politically incorrect and pissing people off. Personally I think he'd be a good pick for 2017 - hope that the committee doesn't do a Howard Marks again and makes the sensible choice. That soap actress whose name I keep forgetting who has lung cancer, AA Gill and prog rock musician John Wetton are three absolute musts for 2017.

msc 18,536 Posted November 20, 2016 I always thought this summed him up. "In the range of things you can be good at, being a food or TV critic is not way up there," he says. "It's not like being a marvellous doctor or even, probably, a very good gardener. But it's a talent and I'm quite good at it. Can anyone do it? Is everyone's opinion worth the same? No. My opinion is worth more than other people's. Of course that's a horrendously arrogant thing to say, but that is the nature and basis of criticism. If you are sticking your opinions in front of two million readers every Sunday, then you have to believe that your opinion is worth more." 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
