Absolutely. Fella does quite a bit of charity work helping disadvantaged kids.

Jamie's not so bad. Can't say he bothers me too much.
Jamie's a tool

Jamie Oliver?
Enlighten us? Seriously, the world over? Is he the biggest p***k you know of?
I like Trout.
He's not the worst....but his tongue is too big for his mouth :-\
I wouldn't call the guy a p***k but I just watched his program there on American School Food. Jamie seems to have an arrogant attitude of British, Irish and others in Europe that has grown recently towards Americans. It seemed he thought he could waltz into a small town and their jaws would drop when he bestows his fresh food from heaven.
But his arrogance came back to slap him in the face and he pulled out what might have been some crocodile tears and talking about his "works of magic" which you couldn't help but laugh at, to save face perhaps. I've met so many people both in Britain and from home and elsewhere who come up with the usual "Americans are stupid" line.
It's amazing that people here in the UK are terrified to generalize in the same manner about middle-eastern, or people from the Indian sub-continent, but would easily make a sweeping statement about a continent of diverse people that make up arguably the most advanced nation on the planet. I think this comes largely from the tabloid culture. They have column inches to fill and America is big enough to have some kind of suitable storey coming out of it regularly.
Jamie is no different in this regard than a lot of people I met. It was hilarious coming out with statements like, "oh you are a great country you put a man on the moon". America nor any other country needs your endorsement Jamie, you nor a lot of your fellow country men are exactly MENSA material either, so get back in the kitchen and cook something you whining little bitch. :P

Bit of a generalisation there of British, Irish and others in Europe.

Arthur: You know I'm not making a generalisation. I implied its an attitude that has grown, not an attitude that everyone carries. and its an attitude (or perhaps opinion) is quite prevalent, its not hard to find,

I find Jamie Oliver likeable enough. His use of 'bruvver' to greet people is a bit annoying but when even a klutz like myself can make something tasty out of one of his recipes, he must be doing something right

I haven't seen his latest programme, but I saw Ministry of Food and while he can be a little on the pompous side when it comes to evangelising he is definitely on the side of angels when set against the fat asses who are poisoning themselves and expecting the rest of us to pick up the tab. As for attitudes to America, his American Road Trip was one long love letter to all things Stateside

Racist. Reported.
Minder how exactly is that rascist. How do you know Gareth Crooks is not a leather bound sex slave? Anyway, someone crying rascism with a picture of Dirty Harry on their avatar is a small bit hypocritical.
Minder.
Ronnie O'Sullivan.
In frame three of his World Open match against Mark King, O'Sullivan potted the first red and black and then halted proceedings to ask what the prize for a 147 was, only to be eventually told there was no additional purse and only a £4,000 sum for the highest break. He went on ahead and potted all the remaining reds with blacks each time and all the colours up to and including the pink which he potted and then left the table and shook hands with King with the break at 140. Referee Jan Verhaas persuaded O'Sullivan to finish the break and he duly slammed in the black in nonchalant fashion.
"I wasn't going to pot the black to be honest with you because I asked the ref and was told there was no break prize for a 147," O'Sullivan admitted to the BBC.
"I wanted to make sure because if there was a decent prize then I would definitely have gone for it and I thought I might as well go for it anyway.
"Jan talked me into it [potting the black]. My whole thing was I was going to make 140 and leave the black What's the point of making a 147 if they're only going to give you four grand for it?
"I'm surprised. They're getting stingier. I thought Barry Hearn was supposed to be putting more money into the game, not taking it out.
"I've had loads of 147s so I don't really get excited by it and thought I needed to give myself something to go for. I just thought 'why not?'"
