wordsfromlee 3,400 Posted July 7, 2020 Report Share Posted July 7, 2020 The fact that Walliams wanted to include that chapter in the first place and had to be told no by his publisher is very telling. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay 9,366 Posted July 7, 2020 Paid Members Report Share Posted July 7, 2020 Dominik Diamond was going to spark him right aaaaahhht son on one of those cable shows they were doing in the 90s. I wish he did. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Paid Members Thunderplex 2,190 Posted July 7, 2020 Paid Members Report Share Posted July 7, 2020 I remember watching that as it went down. It was on the original Paramount Channel. On the show they had a sort of darts match. Walliams threw the 3 darts, and Dominic went to retrieve them as Walliams threw another one. I honestly thought he was going to Twat him.

Mr_Danger 3,615 Posted July 7, 2020 Report Share Posted July 7, 2020 Ha was just about to click paste on that very clip. Check out the song Walliams is singing! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paid Members chokeout 2,190 Posted July 8, 2020 Paid Members Report Share Posted July 8, 2020 (edited) the full clip of that segment is cringe worthy. Imagine pushing for one of your mates to appear on your show and they do that. Absolute Bellends Diamond pacing, waiting to go off air looks ready to chin him.

Paid Members Chris B 5,026 Posted March 11 Paid Members Report Share Posted March 11 So, maybe not celebrity, but a second harrassment/assault thread seems like too depressing an idea. There has been some #NotAllMen talk, especially in the media, in the wake of the Sarah Everard story (if you've missed it, a woman in Clapham who was out at 9.30pm and went missing - a policeman has been arrested under suspicion of kidnap, and the team investigating it have announced they've found human remains in a wood in Kent). A lot of women have found this particularly upsetting, and a lot are discussing the harrassment/assault they've undergone. Some conversations are about how men can better make women feel safe when out and about (crossing road, being on phone, etc etc). And there are a lot of calls for men to step up and be part of the conversation as well. Some are talking about that, some are responding with 'Not ALL men'. So, where are you falling on this? Do you think you can talk about it with family/friends? Do you feel comfortable pushing back on people when they're being weird about women? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Do you think you can talk about it with family/friends? Do you feel comfortable pushing back on people when they're being weird about women? I've been having an interesting conversion with a male friend about it since last night. I said that we need to step back and listen more, while he thinks we should be actively pushing to do more about it. I guess the ideal "solution" would be a middle ground between the two. I guess it depends on experiences really. I personally fall on the side where a lot of my female friends feel like people don't take them seriously and don't listen to them and are more than happy to just brush stuff off with a "you'll be fine" or whatever, when really it's not just one specific incident but a general feeling they have throughout their entire life. I haven't personally come across too many men that have acted like that - I don't go out much, I don't drink and I consider myself lucky that I've not really been with any friends who have ever actively acted like that. So I don't feel like I've had too many opportunities to 'step up' or whatever you'd want to call it. Would I feel comfortable doing so if I was out and saw that behaviour? Comfortable would be the wrong word but I wouldn't want to sit back and watch it happen either. A lot of this stuff does happen behind closed doors though. Or online, through DMs etc. And the 'not all men' stuff certainly doesn't help, because that selfish attitude of 'well I must make sure no one thinks badly of me!' is completely oblivious to the conversations that need to be had. It's not about defending yourself. It's about listening to the situations that have happened and acknowledging the men that have acted badly etc. I'm certainly aware that if I'm out at night and there's a woman alone and it's dark, I definitely want to keep my distance or cross the road etc because I can only imagine what that situation feels like. Hell, I feel uncomfortable myself out and about at night, so I can only imagine how difficult it is for them. And I guess that's the thing - it's impossible for us to put ourselves in that position and truly understand it, but it's imperative that at the least we acknowledge it and raise awareness.
