That was just utterly bizarre. To be fair to him, Cordan did alright considering what seemed to be a fairly un-provoked attack, regarding a pretty shitty does-anyone-actually-care award ceremony... he's still a massive idiot though, and Gavin and Stacey is the most overrated tripe to be on TV for years.

I never minded Corden, he was the only person out of Gavin and Stacey I tolerated [Apart from Rob Brydon, who will always be a traffic warden] since it was shit.

 

My main love of Corden was that despite appearing in a "comedy" he could crack up uncontrollably on some shows, a lovely memory I have was when he was on Buzzcocks [before that twat Fielding showed up] and during the identity parade he got well vexed based on someones' stare.

 

 

As everyone else says though, The P to the Stewart is a legend. Unsure as to why he started this all off though.

Sir Patrick Stewart is my beloved chancellor and I feel as though it is now my duty to kill whoever that C celebrity was.

 

Ok so this is the guy who does Gavin & Stacey yeah?

 

Jesus Christ, what trash.

 

Two out of every three people who watch Gavin & Stacey have a learning difficulty.

 

The rest are borderline.

I'm more puzzled as to why Zoe Saldana is picking up an award for Avatar. I don't recall anyone in Avatar who could act. Unless she forgot how to after her good performance in Star Trek.

 

To be fair, Zoe Saldana was one of the best bits of the film. Her acting in the scene where her whole world was dying around her was amazing.

It wasn't amazing...but it was good compared to everyone else. Even my beloved Siggy. :woops:

As someone with a specific learning difficulty, I find any link to watching Gavin & Stacey pretty insulting... It's almost like calling me 'a spaco'. Help, it's getting on for as bad as 'Two Pints of Lager & A Packet of Crisps fan'... :nono:

I have nothing but love for you.

 

And don't be insulted.

 

It came from me.

 

I mean, look who's talking here.

Dude, I'm kidding, I'm just taking a stab at TPoLAaPoC, because it's shite.

 

I'm dyspraxic though - I'm pretty much a normal, boring person, I just day dream a lot, and can't catch for shit.

A German student created a major traffic jam in Bavaria after making a rude gesture at a group of Hell's Angels motorcycle gang members, hurling a puppy at them and then escaping on a stolen bulldozer.

 

Police said that after making his getaway from the Hell's Angels club, the 26-year-old dumped the bulldozer, causing a five-kilometre traffic jam near the southern town of Allershausen.

 

He then fled to his home nearby where he was apprehended by the police.

 

"What motivated him to throw a puppy at the Hell's Angels is currently unclear," said a spokesman for local police, adding that the student had lately been suffering from depression.

 

The puppy was now in safe hands, the spokesman added.

Pornstar offers sex as invasion apology

 

A Japanese pornstar has offered to sleep with Chinese students to apologise for her country's invasion of theirs in 1937.

 

The incursion sparked the Second Sino-Japanese War which led to the death of approximately 20 million Chinese people after the conflict merged with World War II as a front of the Pacific War.

 

According to The Korea Times, pornstar Anri Suzuki, 24, who has a doctorate in history with a thesis on the invasion, will have sex with Chinese students to make up for the war.

 

Suzuki said: "We have to respect history and cannot obliterate it. I want to cure the wounds of Chinese with my body, and I am practising this by having sex with Chinese students in Japan.

 

"I think it is psychological compensation to them. Actually, Chinese students treat me more friendly and comfortably than Japanese."

 

Because you're sleeping with them perhaps?

RE CordenStewartGate: Neither of them cares what the other thinks. Corden doesn't care what P Stew thinks because he's a twat, P Stew doesn't care what Corden thinks because Corden is a twat (and The Stewart is too busy being successful).

 

P Stew has 3 things that James Corden will never have: A knighthood, a career and dignity.

 

 

How odd, an episode of Never Mind The Buzzcocks has just come on with James Corden presenting. I would turn it over, but Paloma Faith is on there too and she's bat shit crazy and might do something mental.

 

I'm so conflicted.

Skull of whale-eating whale discovered

 

tp-whale-leviathan.jpg

 

Scientists have discovered an ancient whale whose bite ripped huge chunks of flesh out of other whales about 12 million years ago — and they've named it after the author of Moby Dick.

 

The prehistoric sperm whale grew to between 13 and 18 metres long, not unusual by today's standards. But unlike modern sperm whales, Leviathan melvillei, named for Herman Melville, sported vicious, tusk-like teeth 36 centimetres long.

 

The ancient beast evidently dined on other whales, researchers said in Thursday's issue of the journal Nature. They report finding a skull of the beast in a Peruvian desert.

 

The researchers named it in tribute to the 19th-century author and his classic tale of the great white whale, which includes frequent digressions on natural history that punctuate the action.

 

"There is a chapter about fossils," one of the paper's authors, Olivier Lambert of the Natural History Museum in Paris, said. "Melville even mentions some of the fossils that I studied for my PhD thesis."

 

Anthony Friscia, a paleontologist at the University of California, Los Angeles, who wasn't involved in the discovery, said scattered finds of huge fossilized teeth had long hinted at the ancient whale's existence. But without a skull to fit them in, the creature's shape, size and feeding habits remained a mystery.

 

"The fact that they have found the entire jaw — well, almost the entire skull — is what's pretty unprecedented," he said.

 

The ancient beasts "were the killer whales of their time, although on a much grander scale," Friscia said. "They were close to the biggest things around."

 

Friscia said he thought the choice of a name was fantastic.

 

"You gotta love any time you get a nod to literature in taxonomy," he said. "It was a big whale, so why not?"
