Very good writing, had not heard about this.

Is he that very annoying bloke from Bristol? If so I always found him annoying but never would have expected him to be such a nasty piece of work.

Bastard.

who IS Justin Lee Collins?

I'd never heard about him before this trial, and no one else seems to know either

He was in the friday night project with Alan Carr yes?

Scary.

[Pickle]

Yes, that's him. He's done quite a few quite good pieces of more serious tv over the years too. Here's hoping this ends his career, as the punishment he got doesn't scratch the surface of what he deserved.

Brilliant piece of writing. Yes hopefully his career is in tatters. Ridiculing her because she slept with a black man... Really do people still think like that.

Not that I'm stereotyping every man from Bristol, but I think there are a fair few backwards bigots down there.

Some years back a female friend joined me in visiting an old uni friend. We met him when he finished work on a Friday, and some of his workmates joined us for a beer. They were very blokey, and one of them just started making really crass comments to my friend about her boobs and stuff. For all he new she was my girlfriend, but he clearly thought I'd find it hilarious.

Tool.

I agree, powerful writing, really sad message that he got off so lightly.

However, while there are tw@ts in Bristol like anywhere else please don't think Bristol is any more a magnet for bigots than anywhere else; it's an amazing city with a great mix of people, loads of culture, diversity, local pride and beautiful architecture and countryside. It's a lot like a funky, much smaller version of parts of South East London, a bit like Brighton in terms of alternative lifestyles and probably one of the nicest cities to live in or near to in the UK.

Off topic, but I had to respond! Can you tell where I'm from (and will return to one day)?

[Otta]

Bristol is a great place with generally great people, please don't think I was tarring you all with the same brush.

You are right that there are idiot men everywhere, I just noticed a fair few in Bristol, blokes that didn't notice the 1970s ending.

I did an awards event at work a few years back and Justtin Lee Collins was the compere. Unusually for a 'celebrity' he was happy to hang around for about 2 hours after the awards were over and give the guests photo opps. It was fairly obvious that he was kissing/trying to kiss every single girl and I mean properly kissing. He was the biggest sleaze I have ever worked with, totally made my flesh crawl. He thought he was God's gift. Repulsive
