James Blunt, bit of a..?
Discussion
Caught a bit of Top Gear on Dave while making dinner tonight, James Blunt was the Star In A Reasonably Priced Car.
Obviously it's only a snippet, but I couldn't decide whether he was a decent sort of fellow or a bit of a, well, you know.
So knowing full well that PistonHeads never lets not actually knowing or even having met a person cloud a detailed character appraisal, I thought I'd ask the question.
What do we think of James Blunt?

His twitter feed can be very self deprecating and amusing at times

Never met him but he has a solid background (reconnaissance officer for the Army) has made himself a good career in music (and it isn't really that bad) is able to laugh at himself in an impressive way and has the best comebacks. I don't think I have ever seen anything bad written about him (except re: his music), so have to go with him seeming like a decent guy to me.

Last I saw/heard of him were these Christmas adverts where he was taking the piss out of himself for his warbly 'You're Beautiful' ditty - you'd need to have a sense of humour and self-awareness for that, so as a person he's OK in my book (not a huge fan of his singing tho').
I'm with you, I thought the Christmas ad's were great fttm said:
Top bloke , served his country well , refuses to take himself or his music too seriously .
This.Was ordered to take an airport in Bosnia by his commanders. Realised that the situation would have become an international disaster in going this, found a way of not doing it, which was a good thing as it was already occupied by the Russians.
Something like that anyway.
Seems like a great laugh, kind of bloke you'd enjoy having a few pints with. You don't have to buy his music to like him.
