Youwanticewiththat 611 Posted November 21, 2016 AA Gill is that a form of nomative determinism? Drinks like a fish then gets sober? I was most surprised to discover Lardy has curtains. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Davey Jones' Locker 1,324 Posted November 21, 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.

Thread-worthiness bar has been lowered once again. SC But he is a huge name in Britain. Sure, he would never make an American based death list cause he isn't famous enough in the us. But he is a household name in Britain and definitely famous enough. Besides, since you were complaining that the likes of Joey Feek didn't make the list this year, I don't see why your complaining about AA Gill, who's definitely more famous than her. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CaptainChorizo 1,983 Posted November 21, 2016 I don't think their is an American equivalent ,even the most respected/known restaurant critics don't appear on tv and wouldn't be known to 99% of the public. A close proximity fame wise might be film critic Leonard Maltin, or the fashion guy on all the Entertainments News shows who had bad plastic surgery and looks like a bloated Steven Tyler in a wig.

Toast 16,149 Posted November 21, 2016 Yes, I don't think it needs to be specifically a restaurant critic, just a journalist/columnist/commentator with a reasonably high profile. I am sure Mr Gill would have found a different platform from which to voice his opinions, had the restaurant gig not materialised. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

She crammed a lot of work into those 17 days. http://www.iafd.com/person.rme/perfid=lovelace/gender=f/linda-lovelace.htm Well, on set - basically - 17 days (seriously) Deep Throat is barely over one hour long and they didn't exactly bust a gut on locations or budget. There's a fairly insightful biopic that's pretty sympathetic to her later view of things that she was coerced and a lot of the other work - by way of public appearances and promotions etc. was done under duress.

What I meant is that he doesnt look particular unwell here.Slightly craggier voice and clearly lost a good stone or two but if I didnt know he was so ill I wouldnt have guessed.I mean he looks better than Robin Gibb did when he was a few months from death.
