LeazesMag 0 Posted September 8, 2010 Author Share Posted September 8, 2010 Holmes epitomises the Irish Manc Cunt - I fucking despise him. bloke at work, many years ago, Irish manu "fan".

So I said "why do you support Northern Ireland then" You could hear a pin drop in the rest room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonatine 11565 Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Likes to dish it out but can't take it apparently BBC pulls sketches poking fun at Eamonn Holmes' weight after he calls in lawyers to complain Eamonn Holmes has called in lawyers to ban a BBC comedy show’s jibes about his ample size after admitting he endured a constant battle with his weight. The Northern Irish presenter, 50, failed to see the funny side of Jon Culshaw’s depiction of him on The Impressions Show. Millions laughed at the Culshaw character's catchphrase – ‘I was fierce hungry, so I was’, but Mr Holmes weighed into the situation by instructing lawyers to send the Corporation a letter of complaint. The BBC has now apologised ‘for any offence caused’ and the character has been axed from the second series of The Impressions Shows. Culshaw, 42, made his Eamonn a regular feature on the show. In one sketch, a producer was seen asking ‘Eamonn’ what had happened to the studio's sofa. In a thick Ulster accent, Culshaw pointed to the space where the couch was and replied: ‘I wouldn't know, I was eating that cake, so I was. I got fierce hungry, couldn’t help myself so I couldn’t.’ Mr Holmes had initially found the sketch show amusing and had even laughed about his on-screen character. Impressionist Culshaw, who stars on the show alongside Debra Stephenson, admitted recently: ‘It’s always a bit of an odd situation for a few moments when you bump into someone who you’ve done a sketch about, especially when you’ve been a wee bit cheeky. ‘About two days after the sketch went out, whose show do we get booked on to but Eamonn Holmes. ‘When we get into the dressing room, there was a card there, from Eamonn, it said "there was going to be a present with this card, but I ate it!".' However, a source close to the Sky News host, who was last week linked with a move to BBC Breakfast, told the Mail: ‘Eamonn has a great regard for Jon, he finds him really funny, he just felt that the sketches went too far. ‘It was the fact that it wasn’t just one sketch, there were several, and they repeated the same joke over and over again. The BBC has apologised for any offence caused and the character won't be in the new series.' A spokesman for Mr Holmes said: ‘There have been discussions with the BBC and Eamonn is happy to say the matter has been resolved.’ During an ad break, the producer asks ‘Eamonn’ where his guest jockey Frankie Dettori, had disappeared to. The frantic producer says: ‘Okay you’ll be interviewing him about his new book, which we only have one copy of and I specifically told you not to eat, you remember?’ Eamonn replies: ‘I didn’t eat it’ and the producer, finding the book, says: ‘Oh there it is, thank G-d.’ Can we get Frankie on the sofa please…Where is he?’ Eamonn says: ‘Don’t ask me, I wouldn’t know that, I did eat that gingerbread man though, the little gingerbread fella they just brought in, they put him down there. I’m sorry I just got fierce hungry and there he is with his little raisin eyes, his orange peel mouth and his little marzipan hat, I couldn't help myself, so I couldn't.’ The producer says: ‘Get me the lawyers, there’s going to be an all-nighter.’ Starving Eamonn responds by asking another producer: ‘When’s it Easter? Is that later today, is it? Eamonn is at the Chelsea Flower Show when the producer asks why all the blooms have disappeared. He replies: ‘Oh the big salad that was there, yes. But blow me down if I couldn't eat the whole thing again.’ In an interview with the Mail last year, the father-of-four spoke with feeling as he said: 'People slap my belly all the time, and the truth is, it really hacks me off. It's because I'm a man. Everything's a joke when it comes to overweight men. Women have it much easier. 'No one would ever say, "Oh, you're fair piling on the beef there" or "That's some ass you've got on you". They wouldn't pat a woman's tummy or prod her thighs. But, as a bloke, I can tell you that it happens all the time. 'They go, "Oi, Eamonn, that's some paunch". People feel they can touch you, and I hate it. If another person lays a finger on me...' He added: 'The thing is that they never expect a man to be offended. They do expect women to - and know that if they said those things to a woman, she would probably burst into tears or slap them. 'Well, I am offended, too, even though I've done my fair share of laughing along with it. Men do hide behind jokes when it comes to being overweight. They wear it as some sort of trophy, laughing along with all those, "you'd better cut down on the beer" jibes. I hardly ever even drink beer.' And speaking about his diet, the host – who recently married his long-time girlfriend Ruth Langsford – said: ‘You get to the point where you think it would be nice to get into a pair of jeans, or wear a T-shirt in the summer without worrying about man boobs. 'And even I have to say, "Enough's enough". I've had letters - well-meaning letters - from viewers, saying, "It really is time you did something about your weight." And they are right. Physically, I'm in a place right now where I don't want to be. 'You can have this argument about whether weight should have anything to do with TV presenting, but, at the end of the day, people accept you into their homes, and you should worry about what state you arrive there in. ‘You have to start taking these things seriously at 50. I have more years behind me than I have ahead of me. It is time to p*** or get off the pot, basically.' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
