I can handle it; I’ll be a recreational primate killer. Now, baboons aren’t stupid. Well, no stupider than Piers Morgan....[/url]
There's so much in this article to puzzle and wonder over. A theory of hats, abuse of Piers Morgan, and some baboon killing. I don't think I'm outraged particularly, although I'm certainly baffled by why the story is the front two thirds of a rather hasty restaurant review... 🙂
for some reason I always confuse AA Gill with Will Self.
Given the latter's close proximity to heroin for a number of years, Im starting to think I may be on to something...
PS - BD Beer?
pretentious foodie has seen the wisdom of jane moir and that fat chef in upsetting the liberals by getting his name splashed all over twitter and facebook raising his profile and getting outspoken and contentious as prefixes before his already rather stupid name
he is a 'friend of clarkson' so obviously scores highly on the ****ometer already and beloved of the foxnews/times/cameron its our god-given right to be a selfish prick gang
Stoner - stuck I'm afraid.
next time.
Strikes me as a bit of a **** to be honest.
He's been doing it for years - the AA stands for Ape Assassin.
Struggling to care really. I'm not particularly outraged, I don't really need others to be outraged on my behalf. One less Baboon is hardly the end of the world. You're right though, interesting theory on hats...

And then they stand around on rocks and bark like alsatians and jump up and down, mooning with their big meaty arses, like a lot of Millwall supporters down West Ham.
excellent.
hardly earth shattering stuff. given the troubles of the world, i'd say its hard to get upset by it. people shoot things every day. i had a pop at a marmot this summer - I missed though
for some reason I always confuse AA Gill with Will Self.
thank god it's not just me - no idea why but even writing this I'm not sure which one he is.
Jeff Goldblum spliced a baboon with a cat and no-one batted an eyelid

Richard Bacon kicked a racoon's ass, but there was no public outcry.

If he'd killed it with a knife, I would have been impressed even though I'm perplexed as to why he'd want to kill a baboon that's minding its own business.
Doing it from a distance and for fun? Yellow bellied coward.
"A soft-nosed .357 blew his lungs out. We paced the ground. The air was filled with a furious keening of his tribe. Two hundred and fifty yards" At least he noticed the distress it caused.

Just a pity they hadn't evolved enough to realise they outnumbered him and whatever guide gave him the gun to shoot and said "That big unmissable animal there. You shoot!" How I'd love to have seen them rip his sorry arse to shreds and eat him while he was still alive. What a stupendous cock he is. Mind you, he does write for The Times and review restaurants, so he's not exactly making a good start.
I'm struggling to contain my indifference.

How does that work then? Indifference by it's very nature shouldn't be difficult to contain.
I'm with whoever think's he's a conceited, self-centered cock (and have thought so for a long time, regardless of his actions towards primates.)
I'd struggle to add much to wot Kimbers said, except that he has the arrogance to slag off non-English people for no other reason than that they're not English.
Still, I expect that, as a restaurant critic, he's probably thoroughly accustomed to the taste of p155 and 5punk in his soup by now, so I'm happy that someone else is taking his attitude in hand.
Stoner - Memberfor some reason I always confuse AA Gill with Will Self.
Will Self also used to write restaurant reviews for sunday papers (Observer IIRC)
He rides a brompton too. Is that worse than killing baboons?

They probably didn't want to be challenged to an arm-wrestle.
AA Gill badly needs some new stereotypes. I don't read his reviews or the slightly more respectable version of the Sun that he writes for, but I expect next week he'll be going on about French people and their funny toilets, poor people eating at McDonalds, or how Indians can't install fuse boxes properly.
AA Gill is nuts.
What a sad sick man to be so desperate he needed to boost his ego and court publicity in such a way. I guess he was feeling unwanted by the public, and indeed, now he is unwanted by many of us.
it's an odd article and no mistake, it is possible the whole experience was very important to him which is why he's decided to write about it. It's possible this is a huge leap away from his normal life experiences.
But it's just shooting a baboon at the end of the day.
