Clearly her appeal hasn’t yet reached the middle aged men of PH.

Her name is Gemma Collins, or “The GC”

If you are that out of touch with popular culture, in a nutshell, she starred in TOWIE and has gone on to have her own TV shows, clothing lines, perfume etc.

Millions relate to her and follow her, as a result she generates huge sums of money for herself and various associates.

She’s fat, she’s not, she’s engaged, it’s off,she’s in Marbella shes flogging diet jabs.

You might not like her, you may not recognise her but she is a significant media figure.

And for those who don’t know what TOWIE is, get into the 21st Century.

This is why I stopped watching TV.

Ah ok. I have heard of her and TOWIE obviously but I didn't know that was her. I'm not exactly a curmudgeon but I don't tend to watch reality/faked reality TV. Anyway it looks like my life is none the worse for not being in the loop on this one!

This "TV on the loung/living room wall" thing I have never understood - I've never watched one and found it anything but very uncomfortable. (Full disclosure - we do have a big TV on the kitchen wall, but you're either standing or on high barstools in there).

Extra lazy points for people who have exposed cables running down the walls. Yuk.

For full-on council points I present to you - me!!! I've just ordered a 70 inch TV cool
I have a TV on the wall and exposed cables. I should really box them in or something.

It really has to be done properly, in my opinion, which means tunneling, replastering, and then redecorating. It's a pain, but really worth doing.

The wall below is partly plaster, partly a job lot of mortar someone lashed into the fireplace. I would not want to try to channel through it. Also there's a bookcase covering most of the wall so it's not that obvious.

Or more realistically, get down on your knees and thank God for guiding you away from it.

Frank speaks the truth. I wouldn't have known who she was if she'd sexually assaulted me in a public toilet, and I'd rather st in my hands and clap than sit through an episode of that cretin fuel.

I could actually see you in it Frank.

Perhaps a minor role offering advice from Our Uncle who’s Sarf of the river.

I picture you as a cross between the late Mike Read, Al Murray and Terry Tibbs.

Please don’t shatter my illusionslaugh

Don't watch reality TV, don't read about it either. To me Towie is a pleasant little hamlet further up the glen from where I live

With a twist of Brick Top and just a hint of Noel Coward thrown in.

I'm going for 50% Michael Caine in The Cider House Rules, and 50% Benny Hill.

Hardest game in the world, the old taxi game. 'Course I was a cabbie meself. Yeah, forty years, man and boy. Had to give it up in the end, all that dipping on and off the clutch did for my knee.

I should add, this is all in good humour, Frank although I'm sure you know that.

Sure I do, and I take it in good humour too.
Let’s be fair, I can read and when I read some of the stuff I’ve posted, I’m surprised that I haven’t been criticised a bit more than I have.
Regarding who some of you think that I’m a melange of, I had to Google Terry Tibbs, and both him and Mike Reid wouldn’t have minded having my barnet.
Al Murray I don’t mind being compared with, he’s not just a funny man, he talks intelligently about subjects that interest him.
I Googled Brick Top recently, and watched a clip of “Snatch”, I feel that I might have him beat in the I.Q. department, but then I would say that, wouldn’t I?
I can modulate my speech, but I couldn’t match the cut glass tones of Noël Coward, I’m too slim to be compared to Benny Hill, but Michael Caine was born around 300 metres from where I live in Rotherhithe, (not a lot of people know that).
I could possibly be compared with Archie in “The Fast Show” except my teeth are too white, and I’m sure that I’m not a pub bore, plus driving a Black Cab is hardly the ‘hardest job in the world.’
I’m sticking with the sage advice of paulguitar, I’m a legend in my own lunchtime.
