View Full Version : Many things over the years have made me feel that I really have little in common with my compatriots

Among these are/were: the hysteria resulting from Diana’s death; every England World Cup campaign ever; Marmite; tea; brown sauce; baked beans; the abiding popularity of some of the world’s worst ‘lagers’ and many others.
However, I think that the most distant I have ever felt from my fellow countrymen is when contemplating the stellar status of Michael Barrymore during the late 80s and early 90s.
Honestly – putting his unfortunate extra-curricular activities aside – why?

Bear in mind that Tom O'Connor was famous at the time
They went back, consumed a large quantity of his alcohol, robbed a large quantity of alcohol and ignored his pleas to sleepover and have brunch in the morning.
Filthy *******.

He did that hilarious 'I'm walking down the stairs, me' thing.
This was slightly holed below the line by the fact he accidentally strayed on to the escalators, did a little buckle and then had to hop and skip back to static floor.
Anecdote aside, I think it's that he patronised really thick people whilst letting the more mildly thick people in on the 'joke'. People like a bit of mild patronising, the royal family being the masters at this.

It all sounded very tragic tbh.
