I've read a couple of his books and I know they are for kids but they are a bit tit IMO.
And/or boys. I mentioned to someone years ago that he gave me JS vibes and they dismissed it then remembered an incident where he got a young lad from the audience and dry humped him 'for laughs' all in plain sight but when it's for 'comedy' no one bats an eyelash.That hes a creepy that invites young girls to his dressing room?
He thinks he's Roald Dahl, but he's really not.I've read a couple of his books and I know they are for kids but they are a bit tit IMO.
Just walked back to leave and they've all goneJust walked past my local Tesco charity book stand (you can help yourself and donate what you can etc):

3 of his books there, never seen any before and I look every time I go. Seeing as the book aisle in this Tesco is full of his stuff - freebies would usually be snapped up. Just shows how things are changing.
I've watched a couple of the bbc adaptations and they were terrible. Roald Dahl he ain'tI've read a couple of his books and I know they are for kids but they are a bit tit IMO.
The tweet mentioned by Piers Morgan is interesting. I’d love to know what he knows. Glad to see Walliams finally getting his moment in the sun. I’ve always believed he is a nasty piece of work.
From the comments
I love take that and mainly Robbie. But the only one I’d be shocked to hear anything bad about is Jason. he seems so niceThe way ITV protect the likes of Walliams and Schofield, they are like the BBC in the 1970s. At least in the 1970s one can understand how victims felt they'd never be believed and the culture was such that certain things were deemed more "acceptable" (not that it made anything that happened right), but it beggars belief that in 2022, predatory behaviour is still covered up.
Make me sick to think of how much my children, and myself, liked his books, when they were younger. I spent a fortune on them. And now I hear he probably didn't even write them. Although maybe it's just as well. He got the bloody money for them though! Hope the ghostwriter name is/are made public some day so they can get the credit.
That's surprising about Mark Owen. So he's another dirty b then![]()
I had some memory he dated Sophie Dahl. There are some odd old stories about the Dahl family, especially Roald's predilections, and I don't mean his antisemitism.He thinks he's Roald Dahl, but he's really not.
Sounds like the awful physical comedy of Michael (Ive got a dead grape man in my swimming pool) Barrymore, he used to love humping random people on tv in front of us all. I now want to vomit thinking what we have been watching......And/or boys. I mentioned to someone years ago that he gave me JS vibes and they dismissed it then remembered an incident where he got a young lad from the audience and dry humped him 'for laughs' all in plain sight but when it's for 'comedy' no one bats an eyelash.
and seeing as one main ride is closed next season and duel is being reworked, but they could easy rename the area .the area is tit anyway.Alton Towers must be shitting it now. An entire section of their theme park dedicated to his books, complete with his odious voice floating out of the speakers on the rides.
I had the same thought too. He, or his ghostwriter as has been rumoured, have tried to write like Dahl. But with none of the qualities that made Roald such a great writer.He thinks he's Roald Dahl, but he's really not.
Hmm…maybe they got ‘Tattled’?Just walked past my local Tesco charity book stand (you can help yourself and donate what you can etc):

He doesnt even write them himself!!I've read a couple of his books and I know they are for kids but they are a bit tit IMO.
It was always funny I thought, how these public figures suddenly became literary geniuses when they really just had a good agent and some poor old ghostwriter. Madonna was another. None of them were interested in children or books until the money starts running out. Must be a good money making racket.He doesnt even write them himself!!![]()
Let's not talk about Meghan Markle's attempt at children's literature. That was one example that definitely wasn't ghostwritten (but should have been).It was always funny I thought, how these public figures suddenly became literary geniuses when they really just had a good agent and some poor old ghostwriter.
