Joe Wicks. Ugh. 😐 Ross Poldark he ain't.
Has he ever been photographed with his torso covered? Or his curls not carefully teased? Ugh.
And over to you good folk for your choices. 😀
Woke up this morning and decided to be nice in 2017. So I have nothing to contribute to this thread 😉
Joe Wicks
At some point over the last couple of days I heard someone refer to him as all of the BeeGees...
🙂
No-one has irritated me yet but I'm sure it's just a matter of time.
mariah carey's sound man?
This undeniably moronic twaddle spouter..

Ahh.
2017s first STW hate thread.
If you've got nowt nice to say, hows about not saying anything?
Good grief is that Steve Wright up there? ^^ He looks like Bernard Manning with glasses! 😯

What is a Joe Wicks anyway? Or a Ross Poldark? Step away from the meeja and go ride a bike.
Jeez, lighten up guys.
And those who made me laugh - thanks!
😆
I hardly recognised any of those names, except wasn't Steve Wright a mouthy prat on the radio?

Body shaming, everyday sexism, etc, etc.
*Wanders off to the fatty thread*
i did have to turn radio 2 off, when Madeley came on.
[i]That's[/i] Steve Wright? 😯
And to second scotroutes, what's a Joe Wicks when it's at home? The name means nothing to me.
How Steve write has stolen a living for the last 30 odd years by peddling the same old rope absolutely stupefies me
Ton, I love it when Richard Madely takes over, yeah a career of much old ropeness, but it's the bumbling middle classness that makes him entertaining for me
What is a Joe Wicks anyway
Someone from Eastenders I think
Joe "I look like all the BeeGees rolled into one" Wicks*...

Gotta say, though - he looks more Poldark than Poldark with or without the paint...

In my current slightly hungover state my kids are probably leading contenders for 2017 so far...
Is the Poldark chap old enough to be having a smallpox innoculation scar painted over?
He's a vampire so probably older than he looks...
Claire Balding?
You would though wouldn't you, CG. 😉
If you've got nowt nice to say, hows about not saying anything?
Because this forum would soon go out of business.
Chris Ego Evans ftw
I have the Hotz for Joe Wicks 😳
My older Sister Julie. Total gimp
... but were vampires not at risk of smallpox?
Kirk from The Gilmore Girls.
This thread saddens. 🙁

Big fan of Joe Wicks?
Fair play! If I had a torso like either of the above, I think I'd be struggling to keep it hidden too.

Well, I have to admit, personality traits aside, if I had those looks and that body, I'd be doing a completely different job, and I'd be a bloody sight better off with it!
And apparently earning £1m a month, he may be a cross between Mickey Flanagan on speed, and Jamie Oliver circa '91, but I'd happily be a quid behind him..
Well it's very early in the year but so far one STW contributor is just nosing ahead of another.
Last year and every year - Leeeeeeeza Tarbuck. Twunt.
James Corden without a doubt, especially in them new adverts with the car spinning round.
Why the fat knacker is so popular is beyond me.
Any of these eating gurus that tell us to eat kale chuffing smoothies
You know what, I like pringles and beer

After a solid performance in 2016, one of my colleagues is no doubt trying to outdo her efforts this year...
Is she hot?
No.
I like Joe Wicks!
Never heard of him before Chrimbo but someone got me one of his cookbooks which is really good! Simple, quick recipes which just happen to use the same sorts of ingredients I cook a lot with anyway (like me, he is all about coconut oil 🙂 ) and he is in the same ballpark as iDave. It's given me loads of great ideas. Just finished my lamb chops with harissa guac, was awesome!
Exactly! Simple, tasty meals free from all the bad stuff.
Of those people I'm aware of having done anything so far, the only possible candidate is Theresa May. Not that she wouldn't be a worthy candidate in any company, but nobody else has yet managed to irritate me.
Award for most irritating person of 2017 so far goes to ...
.... folk on STW that play the "who even is that?" card on a seemingly daily basis?
Who even are they?

Really? On the odd occasion I post that, or something like, it's because I. Genuinely. Don't. Have. The. Foggiest. Idea. Who. People. Are. On. About.
There, glad that's been cleared up.
I guess the issue is that it can be seen as somewhat contrived. As you're posting your lack of knowledge of a person or thing, while being on the biggest information source known to man, and in the time it takes to post....

Jean-Claude Juncker
My vote will stick with the Donald, from his bizarre new year tweet it looks like he is going into the year on the offensive.

Turned on the radio today and got confirmation that Katie Hopkins is still as much as an irritating bitch in 2017 as she was in 2016.
I can cope with a bit of Farage nonsense or James O'Brien's self righteous BS on LBC, but I draw the line at Hopkins. Gave her a chance but she spouts utter vile bile. Really surprised she's not locked up for hate crime.
I'm a grumpy old bloke. Everyone irritates me. I don't need an occasion or year change. 👿

Yes, someone is going to have to pull out all the stops to knock her off the no. 1 spot. A very nasty piece of work.

Is she still here? Wasn't the bonus of Trump getting elected supposed to be that she pissed off to America?
...you could have just googled it.
Yeah, I [i]could[/i] have, but every time someone posts something like that, it's always with the assumption that whoever it is is such a famous celebrity, that everybody has to know who they are.
Well, my interest in minor celebrity amounts to bugger-all, and my desire to have to google every time it happens sits at around the same level.
Ok, but if you're not interested, why do you need to tell us you don't know who they are? 😆

But obviously you would like someone to post and explainer and you have the desire to post asking etc.
Strong start from my colleague. Shes been discussing her New Years resolutions.

Buy Audi TT (new) this will be her 3rd car. She's been driving 6 months, both previous cars (BMW 1 series, then Audi A1) have been crashed, though not seriously...
I would imagine that the most irritating person of the last year will be so again this year. Not least because he keeps promising to go away, then not doing so. And now that he's got the added 'kudos' of being Trumps sock-puppet in the UK, I doubt there will be any escaping the ****!

Urgh. Greene King IPA.
That's Steve Wright?
My thoughts exactly.

They must pay alright there.
Can we have a before and after photo?

Yes he's clearly a charlatan in the ale stakes too.

She sounds a tit.
Another vote for Farage here, wtf he gets so much exposure is beyond me, he has no say-so in the running of the country and yet he's lorded in the US of A.
In my case, I was hoping to use my ignorance to make a point(obviously very badly!) - if media personalities are winding you up, stop giving them the attention they crave and find something better to do.wallop - Member

A little bell is ringing about a piece I read somewhere on BBC bias around the last general election; something along the lines of the exposure given to UKIP and the Greens. Despite the oft-cited claims that the BBC leans left, UKIP were given a lot more air-time, despite only having the a similar number of MPs in power - IIRC UKIP had two and the Greens had one at the time. The general conclusion was that because UKIP statements were so ludicrous and populist that they made good viewing, which obviously included Farage as their 'one of the people' frontman.
Fair? Probably not. The state of the media? Arguably moreso.
Philip 'Sir Shifty' Green should be in that top 20 imo
Pimp UKIP where the only people really talking about the voters main issue Immigration. The mainstream parties created a vacuum and they filled it. Also it's not about the number of MPs but the share of the vote, UKIP was the party with forward momentum and was "the news story"
Farage is probably the UKs single most influential politician since Thatcher and maybe even including her. Almost single handedly he lead the movement to force a Referendum and get us out of the EU. Stunning really.

Fair point. What could then be discussed is how much of an over-issue immigration was/is, and whether its political relevance was in fact unequally increased when compared to other issues, such as climate change, air pollution or austerity. Or, to put it another way, when The Mail were spouting off about benefits fraud and getting people riled up about a problem they could see and relate to, what was actually happening in the bigger picture was in fact large corporations and the super-rich were actually costing the government and the average taxpayer far more than the benefit fraudsters ever have.
From that point of view they were still pushing a single, publicly visible populist agenda, which got them airtime - fairly or unfairly is a question of priority.

Arguably so. Similarly divisive too.
