I know people think he's just a clueless halfwitted c**t trying and failing to be a Simon Cowell caricature but I think he's just a Joe trying to make a living like the rest of us.

I think he's very funny, but I've got a hunch you don't.

I think he's a decent guy putting on the wanker attitude to earn a living ... a la Simon Cowell, Pierce Whateverhisnameis etc.

A guy's gotta earn a crust.

the snob is usually a pretty good read.....there wasn't much of a "wink wink" feel to that post, though. bordering on mean-spirited for such an easy target as chronic watch flippers.

Yeah, this latest one isn't going to win him many fans around here. I do read the column from time to time, some of articles can be pretty entertaining. This one is pretty mean spirited though.

I will say that hanging in forums does influence many to aquire new watches. But I agree with Paul. He comes off very much a c**t.
