I haven’t read the full thread but I had to reply.
I used to be a massive fan girl of Chris. Used to go to every show of his I could and if he spotted me in the front row we would always have banter. And I always got a huge hug at the end when he did his meet and greet. He once stopped a small scale show when he spotted me having travelled to the other end of the country to see him for about half an hour and said ‘what the hell are you doing here?’
I was never much of a fan of Rosie. Once they started SMA though that was it. When I went to Chris’ last stand up tour it was full of SMA fans moaning there was no Rosie! Chris even tried to acknowledge his ‘old school’ fans who had made him what he was the SMA fans just spoiled it. He used to do meet and greets as well but he snuck out of the side door as he was told people were waiting for him.
My niece has friends in and around the area they moved to and my sister said that all Rosie did was moan that people said hello to them! But I bet your bottom dollar that if everyone ignored them she would moan more about that! In the meantime I got to know Chris’ faithful support act (the infamous Carl
) and I’ve transferred my allegiance to him. He’s a top bloke who is extremely down to earth and doesn’t have airs and graces like the Ramseys do. And his Mrs works for the same place as I do, she’s not a screeching harridan like RR is.
That said, I’ve fancied the pants off Chris (Tesco boxers if anyone knows the joke
) for a fair few years and I continue to fancy him rotten, but I just refuse to watch anything he’s in with Rosie. I quite enjoyed Taskmaster, though!
