Dr Fox - my brush with a very naughty man

[headvoid]

Neil Fox charged with sex assaults - BBC News

I used to work with a soft drinks brand. They sponsored his show and we occasionally took prize winners into the recording studio. I remember one particularly embarrassing event that Robbie Williams was singing at. He was so stoned / medicated he couldn't even remember the words to the song.

Dr Fox (as he was called, good god!) was there and was a little dull as I remember. I was always surprised someone who was so vanilla could be a DJ.

I also met him later at a Dinner party (years later) and he didn't remember me. Maybe I was the vanilla one? Who knows.

Anyway, looks bad for him.

But he categorically denies each and every allegation made against him!

 

[CaptainWacky]

The fact that he didn't remember you should be used in evidence against him.

I always thought he was really bland, too. He did Capital Radio here, which also had the (I was 12, so this may not be accurate) very funny Steve Penk. It was like they needed a boring person so you could look forward to their show being over and a good person coming on.

 

[CaptainWacky]

He's not even a real fox!

 

[Fuddlemiff]

Isn't he, Stuuuuuuuuuuuu? Isn't heeeeeeee?

 

[headvoid]

he is, ironically, fully medically trained...

FOR POP!

Have you ever met any celebrity who's been "falsely" accused but you picked up a dodgy vibe off them anyway and think they got lucky?

Robbie Williams was consistently drugged and odd. Jason Orange was extremely odd but kind of charming.

I have some disturbing news on John Noakes. (seriously, nothing illegale though don't worry)

Peter Kay appears genuinely bored most of the time.

Jimmy Carr is in your face cracking (mainly shit) jokes ALL THE TIME. It's like he doesn't have an off button. It's quite tiring when you are trying to get a job done. I suspect he sits in a darkened room to calm down.

 

[CaptainWacky]

DId Jimmy Carr do that laugh? He must have. He's always fucking doing that laugh.

Peter Kay's only happy when he's remembering things.

Headvoid, if you could call an end to adverts featuring choirs covering 80s rock ballads that would be super.

I stopped an ad being made recently with someone in a character suit for a comparison company.

No doubt we will make an odious, poisonous blot on the landscape instead, but it was a small, pyrrhic victory

 

[CaptainWacky]

Why do so many comparison sites give away toys? One of them should do an ad that ends with "and you won't get a free toy for using our site, BECAUSE IT'S FOR FUCKING ADULTS."

 

[headvoid]

Lovely. I might use that.

Comparison sites don't have any history, product or brand really. They remind me a little of someone who arrives at a party and is desperate for sex and desperately insecure. They need to be shouty to gain quick awareness which is why so many of them create characters. None of them can afford Ant & Dec as well.

 

[whisky]

That was me in the 80s.
