Faces

There are faces it’s easy to dislike. Lee Bowyer, for example, looks like he’d stab your babies. Brian Cowen’s is so blubbery and ugly, blugbery, that looking at it for too long makes you want to jab your eyes out with a spoon. And Glenda Gilson looks like an Easter Island statue slathered with fake tan.

I just heard Tom Dunne play Paul Weller on the radio there. I have never, ever been able to listen to much of his music and it’s all because of his face. I know the fella with the piggy nose was probably the one in the Style Council I should have taken against but there’s just something about Weller that makes me uneasy.

He just looks like a sly cunt. I remember being at a party once – one of those surreal, late night/early morning/what the fuck am I doing here? parties – and there was a bloke there who was the image of Paul Weller. He was just standing there with his beady little face and his beady little eyes looking furtively about the room, ready to unleash a great big dose of his deviousness on the person who least suspected it.

Despite the fact I was the person who most suspected it I had to leave, which was probably for the best anyway, but it was disconcerting that somebody’s face could have such an impact on me.

There’s a guy playing for a football team in the same league as us this year and you just know by his face that he’s not to be trusted. He’d lie out of both sides of his mouth. I hate him and I don’t even know him.

Is this hatred of certain kind of faces pre-wired into our brains, or what?

    I was never able to look at Stephen Gately without an involuntary shiver down my spine.

    Bill Wyman formerly of the stones, a sleeveen lookin fucker if ever there was one and I mean well before his 80′s fiasco with Mandy Smith; Jasus they were innocents days

  3. The Cap'n says:

    Paul Weller when he was living with DC Lee down Ladbroke Grove way was often spotted in the local supermarket with her fucking poodle on a lead.

    “Bellboy! BELLboy!”

  4. Conan Drumm says:

    My issue with Weller is aural, I just don’t hear anything worth listening to.
    I think power does things to people’s faces. I’d love to see a slow montage of individual FF ministers’ faces from photos taken over the last 20+ years. It would be very, very creepy.

    Oh, and joyeux Pastille Day!

  5. mellow says:

    it’s cosmic, Twenty!

    Weller is a whinge anyway! never trust a whinge.

  6. Fatmammycat says:

    He’s a shleeveen looking muppet who grates on my ears.
    That other wally is just as bad, what’s his name, ‘Did touch my motor car?’ You know the one. Even looking at him you find yourself reaching for the Dettol.

  7. tinslej says:

    Nevermind listening to Paul Weller, my ears can’t bear Tom fucking Dunne. A horrible stain on an otherwise enjoyable radio station

  8. maggot says:

    Shall I live up to the stereotype that is unjustly foisted upon me by my enemies ?

    No. I’m better than that.

    On this site.

  9. Twenty Major says:

    Newstalk has gone to shit, to be honest. I hardly to listen to it at all now.

    FMC, you mean this:

  10. Fatmammycat says:

    That is the very one! Haw, I love it, ‘SMACK!’

  11. Fatmammycat says:

    ‘Tell me which one it was LOVELY’ Bleeeeeeee, utter shite pipe.

  12. Twenty Major says:

    Best. Headbutt. Ever.

    He’s such a hateful little cunt

  13. maggot says:

    It’s annoying to listen to wonderful music on the radio and then see the person(s) and realise that they are so irritating or repulsive that you’ll never enjoy their music again. But of course it can work the other way as well – step forward the luscious Britney.

  14. Holemaster says:

    Twenty. Sounds like you had the fear at a party in the wrong part of town.

  15. tinslej says:

    Unfortunately the Newstalk alternatives are wank. iPod all the way

  16. Twenty Major says:

    It was somewhere in Drumcondra, I think, HM

  17. SuperGrover says:

    Oh yeah! Sweet fuckin headbutt. What a twat. hahahahaha

  18. Holemaster says:

    Des Cahill’s head annoys me. The stranded bulloch that he is.

  19. murty says:

    I always judge by their faces – like the people you see on the street going to work – you walk past them everyday and you think ‘wanker’ ‘wife-beater’ ‘stupid’ or ‘stuck-up cunt’ but I’ve been proved wrong a few times after classifying these faces I’ve met them and they’ve actually been ok. The other part of it is ‘trying’ to like people because they’re friends of friends or whatever but not all that deep down at all you know they are complete cunts and you wish them misery.

  20. Radge says:

    You get the face you deserve, apparently. Actually, that’s probably pure bollocks but I stand by my assertion that thin lipped people are penny pinching bastards.

    I hate Michael McIntyre’s face, and Lee Evans’, and John T***y’s.

  21. Holemaster says:

    Radge. What bad shit did Simon Weston do then?

  22. killemall says:

    There’s 2 fu@kers on TV that are candidates to be hung, drawn & quartered. That beavis lookalike from the nicotine substitute add on Irish TV & that smug aussie wanker from the wine add at the dinner party, the one with the line “recommended by worlds most important wine critic, me”. A slow lingering death os too good for them.
    Oh and Ronan “Schhorry” Keating. I’d love to kick that prick to death.
    God I feel better now….

  23. maggot says:

    I might have to watch this Celebrity Come Dine with me – Sam Fox and Calum Best ?

    http://tiny.cc/7ze1g

  24. For me, smug is worse than devious.
    Naturally smug faces are just so damn fist-inviting.

  25. Radge says:

    I had to look Simon Weston up. Eh, no comment.

  26. sniffle says:

    @murty “but I’ve been proved wrong a few times after classifying these faces I’ve met them and they’ve actually been ok”. Except with Lee Bowyer.

    Paul Weller’s version of “thinking of you” is better than the original 80’s classic by sister sledge – like Jimi’s Watchtower.

    All mods are skinny sneaky looking cunts.

  27. peadar says:

    Newstalk has gone to shit, to be honest. I hardly to listen to it at all now.

    Off the Ball is good

  28. boscospants says:

    ha ha that was classic. watching people getting headbutted would become a national sport if i was in charge

  29. Gimme says:

    What bad shit did Simon Weston do then?

    He joined the British Army. Duh.

  30. itchybollix says:

    Is this hatred of certain kind of faces pre-wired into our brains, or what?

    Yes. But it helps that the hatred can be justified when half the planet is full of cunts and the other half is full of even bigger cunts.

  31. Medbh says:

    Debbie Pelt is new to my list of hated faces.
    Chloe Sevigny has been on it for years.
    With Christopher Hitchens.

  32. itchybollix says:

    I saw Hitchens on Question Time a couple of weeks ago. It appears that he has invested in a new set of teeth. They have an unfortunate side-effect which leads to every word he states ending with a high-pitched whistling sound. It was funny for 10 minutes. I noticed that Bill Kristol, the editor of the weekly standard, got a new set of gnashers too. they look fucking ridiculous.

  33. maggot says:

    Hitchens is fucked – throat cancer.
    That might explain the whistlling noise.

  37. Ciara says:

    I was just talking about this with someone today. I have an extreme unjustified hatred for Penelope Cruz. I can’t watch her in anything. It turns out this is quite common, at least 3 people agreed with me. Everything from her name to her face to her voice makes me want to throw things at her.

    Hugh Grant

  41. Twenty Major says:

    Can I discuss his face with a hatchet, Fill?

  42. Twenty Major says:

    I used to work with a woman who was indentical to Penelope Cruz.

  43. Radge says:

    Lucky bastard.

  44. Ass-per-usual says:

    jedward, mary ‘jabba’ harney, any fella with a whispy moustache looks like he’s trying to con you out of something

  45. maggot says:

    There was some unpleasantness about it Itchy.

  46. maggot says:

    James Nesbitt. Smugness. Cunt.

  47. Heywood Jablome says:

    Stefano Irlando. Smug. Bald. Ugly. Ratface. Cunt.

  48. itchybollix says:

    Plop just reminded me. If you see a copy of the JP McManus Pro-Am catalogue there’s a photo-montage of “Special Guest from the world of sports and entertainment” which is a just a who’s who of uber-cunts

    Hugh Grant, Westlife, Niall Quinn aka Mother Teresa, Jamie & Louise Redknapp, Michael Flatley, Michael Douglas, Aidan Quinn (whovever that is) Paul O’Connell Samule L Jackson….the brief must have been – “fit as many cunts onto a page as you can please”

    penelope cruz was great before she went to america and began starving herself.

    i just came back from a holiday in argentina. now that is a country full of hot women.

    jamiroquai is massive over there too, his shitty music is pumping out of every second car stereo.

    Willie O’Dea, now there’s a face I’d gladly introduce to a clawhammer.

  58. HarryO says:

    Did ye get your leg over twenty? Two other distastefully weird looking fuckers are BP Fallon(anyone remember him) and Gay byrne, like little marionettes they are or were.

  59. Holemaster says:

    Q. What’s the worst thing about the Meath / Louth scandal?

    A. Listening to their horrible accents and people saying Fupple.

  60. Anne, yes the stabby one says:

    Itchy. “he plays rugby and sings irelands call. cunt. q.e.d.”

    Yeah but he’s not ugly. He’s still a fox. It could be worse. He could be from Dublin and play soccer. Now that’d be a cunt. q.e.d.

    weird night

    9 pm; text received. Thirsty? Reply: Yes.

    10 pm. – propped at bar – Ruby – “itchybollix (referring to self in 3rd person, like peter mandelson, shit) itchybollix, I’m giving up trying to make a living as a taxi driver” – itchybollix -”Shit Ruby; I’ve heard it was bad but fuck”
    ruby – “regulator. itchybollix, what would you do if your car was on fire?”
    itchybollix “well ruby, I’d run faster than horace in horace and the spiders and dial 911″. ruby – “itchybollix; the regulator reckons you should have a fire extinguisher, costing about 100 bucks,and put the fire out”. me- “haha. lucky you got a couple of other things from your previous life.”

    I was always dubious about taxi-driver complaints but now I’m convinced. I think.

    Irish skiiddlydillydiidyeyeo shit live music hurting my ears. “ruby. if i was in the usa i think i’d have to pull my gun and go fucking postal on these loud, smug, 32 county, glorifying the past, irish dirty old town, paddy killing brit etc, etc,etc talentless fucks”. I start howling like a mule, just as i did when i was dragged along to see the film angels and deamons when all i really wanted was to stay home and read don delilleo falling man novel. i fucking detest irish shit music shit. “hey, I’m more irish than you. no; i’m more irish than you. this guy is more irish than me” total cock shit. start speaking spanish to them. ruby calms things. humour has left the building. weird fucking music scene too. cunts. gimme crystal castles anyday. go buy crystal castles album crystal castles.

    Incredible – yesterday evening I was painting the kitchen and god knows why I thought of that air steward off big brother and how he had a face that On the Dry should take a yard of hose to. Coincidence or wha?

  75. Jo says:

    Of course zombies don’t. They’re dead.

  76. porridge says:

    of course zombies poo, otherwise all the brains they eat would make them explode.

  77. Holemaster says:

    Itchy. I heard three taxi drivers killed themselves last week. One of them set himself alight somewhere in Smithfield.

    They did release too many licences too fast. It should have been more controlled to allow the industry adjust naturally. I wouldn’t have said that five years ago though.
