Tried to get rid of his Brummie accent. Cocked it up. Talks to you like you're a prat. Treats his guests like prats. Would f*u*c*k himself if he could. Quite a guy.

Is he the ex tory MP John Kilroy-Silk?
If so a friend of mine once wiped his nob on his hankie.

Robert Kilroy-Silk - the twat who 'presents' that excruciatingly patronising morning chat show. I think he was an MP at some point, but I don't know which side he was on and don't really care. He's got grey hair and a really comical Brummie/RP/alien hybrid accent with a slight speech impediment.

Re: "If so a friend of mine once wiped his nob on his hankie," do you mean your friend wiped his knob on Kilroy's hankie, or your friend wiped Kilroy's knob on his hankie?

It was kilroys hankie (it was lavender scented) the deed happened in the old BBC studios in London`s Shepherd's Bush.

I was with some mates for a recording of `the late show` and they plonked us in his dressing room.

Have you had an unpleasant frying pan experience? Did you go out to buy a pair of shoes, and ended up with the wrong size? Have you ever had a disturbing dream that left you in a slightly miffed mood all morning? Do you know someone who has been mildly affected by a fly that wouldn't leave the house? Call now...

TV by the people, about the people and for the people. People who should be shot, however. Thank goodness there's an off button on my telly.

He was definitely a labour MP though. I don't know what that proves.

Accidentally caught a few minutes of his show yesterday (It was research, I tell you!) Thought the BINS loyal would like to know what he said about the Brummie accent.

The topic was snobbery, some twat said Welsh and Brummie are perceived as annoying (and common no doubt). In the bit I saw there were no peaky-like words of sanity to point out the social reasons we form opinions on accents. Kilroy said he had to lose his accent cause no one at university could understand him. I say he should've gone to Burm Uni then, it's great. But maybe if it was so thick and all powerful it couldn't be destroyed. Maybe it ended up somewhere else. I'm betting Chinny got in the way as Kilroy was casting his accent aside. That explains everything.

He said nothing about the hankie though.

Funny you should say that. I was actually asked to go on the show, but declined. When asked why by his researcher, I said because I can't stick the bloke. Anyone who takes elocution lessons to get rid of their Brummie accent is a traitor in my eyes.

Surely these are false claims: the guy sounds Brummie to me, a bit wonky maybe, but Brummie nonetheless. I say sue the elocutionist and maybe hire an electrecutionist. It sounded good when I thought of it.

His shows are always very well executed. He should be executed.

No! I won't have that!

Trisha is a beautiful, attractive and highly intelligent person. I think she sees her mission in life to try to plough the right furrow for her guests, most of whom have seemingly only recently learnt how to dress themselves in anything more complicated than a towelling tracksuit. To act as a role model, or font of common sense, to some of these folk must be worth at least a hundred social workers. A very laudable aim, I would have said.

If you saw Trisha being interviewed, you would know what I mean. And a real babe too.

Kilroy on the other hand is my definition of everything in human nature I loathe. Vane, self aggrandising, smarmy, false and nauseating are but some of his more endearing traits as a person. I would just love to get into his attic and destroy his personal picture of Dorian Grey. What hold does he have over the bosses at the BBC, such that they let him continue to broadcast his own sickening mixture of pseudo morals and egotism?

Mind you, I know someone who claims to have seen CCTV footage of him having sex with a drinks vending machine. I'd love to see it.

His penchant for vending machines is legendary, as his his effortless ability to patronise the guests on his show. Does anyone know his address? I sorted that Sinclair bloke. We shan't be hearing from him in a hurry, unless he's figured out a way to type with his toes.

Isn't Kilroy supposed to be a bit of a hardcase? I remember reading a few years ago that a member of the audience had started giving him some hassle at the end of one of his shows and Kilroy had turned around and knocked him out with a single punch. The newspaper report then went on to say that he'd learnt how to fight when he was a kid growing-up on the mean streets of Aston.

I've heard him mention several times that he had a tough upbringing.
Seems you can take the boy out of Aston, but not Aston out of the boy.

Still wouldn't account for that vending machine business though.

Mean streets of Aston? Sutton Coldfield, more like. I'll have him.
