Guest DustyDeviada Report post Posted September 11, 2007 Apparently so... Next thing you know we're going to find out he isn't too keen on foreigners.I must admit, I've never watched Hell's Kitchen before, but Mrs Deviada was watching it last night so I had to.It was compelling viewing. As someone who has hated Jim Davidson with a passion for as long as I can remember it was wonderful watching him throw away what was left of his career in a Jade Goody-stylee. The man is on another planet. How he thought he could still say things like "Shirtlifters have a certain look about them, don't they?" on prime time ITV1 I'll never know. I almost expected him to start doing his "hilarious" lazy rasta routine.Alsmost as amusing was Paul Young, who was seemingly a friend of his, not knowing whether to defend him or not.Hopefully that's the last we'll see of Davidson, but it does at least give me an opportunity to post this again: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

delboy 83 Report post Posted September 11, 2007 i'm not defending davidson's comments in any way but i really think its been blown out of all proportion (as is the norm for these kind of shows). davidson is such an easy target, the way dowling blubbered like a baby for what was some off the cuff remarks from a self confessed homophobic was pathetic. its like when that bint from emmerdale started crying when jimbo (rightly) had a word for burning something (not once but twice!).jim davidson is a 54 year old alcoholic wife beater from another generation, you'd kind of expect him to refer to gays as 'shirtlifters'.

Guest DustyDeviada Report post Posted September 11, 2007 Agree that Dowling is a complete tool and that he completely over-reacted to Davidson.BUT I have no sympathy for Davidson, whether Dowling over-reacted or not he was mental to say that sort of thing in the first place, not just the shirtlifter remark, he also said something like "Why aren't heterosexual, white, male, normal people like me allowed to express an opinion?" Good riddance, the guy's a total nob end. And his worst crime is how unfunny he is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shaki 501 Report post Posted September 11, 2007 Broadcasting watchdog Ofcom said it had received 46 complaints over Davidson's "bullying" of Dowling. Marco Pierre White's use of the word "pikey" in an edition of the programme last week had prompted 30 viewer complaints, it added.Complaints from who?!?!?!?!?! People should just Fuck Off and die if they're so easily offended. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Teabags 2632 Report post Posted September 11, 2007 Nah, my Dad's alright.He once overheard Davidson speaking to folk at some golf club saying "I've just moved here to look for work" so my Dad went up and said "Really Jim? You're in luck, I'm looking for apprentice welders." (or something along those lines.)And in all fairness, I highly doubt the Indian curry shop owners in Dubai have a scoobie who Jim Davidson is, asides from just another ex-pat in Dubai.EDIT: Woah, ym Dad's name is James, ie Jim, and I'm his son, and my name's David. Jim; David-Son. Ace. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
