So you grow up without a silver spoon but nevertheless determined to make something of yourself, you train for most of your entire life to compete as a prize fighter in a notoriously brutal and unforgiving profession/sport.
Things go well, the hard work in the gym pays off and you make it to the Olympics and become the first British fighter to win Olympic Gold in your division.
You go on to win your fist 19 professional fights before encountering a loss and still fighting at age 42—commendable in it's own right—hold a respectable 31 wins and 7 losses on your fight record.
After suffering embarrassing defeats at the hands of younger, superior opponents you do some reality TV on the side, for the usual reasons: money, exposure/publicity, etc.
You wind up in the Big Brother house and while fraternizing with some fellow housemates you barely know they start taking the piss at your expense.
The small, chubby, mouthy one pipes up, "All you gotta do is run around the garden for a minute and a bit."
The annoying Dancer boy cackles at the top of his lungs like a deranged hyena—the little fat one follows suit and they're falling over themselves in a conjoined display of obnoxious laughter that the initial quip should hardly warrant.
You feign amusement with a false chuckle, although it's clear in your voice you don't find it as witty, "huh-he... run round the place... heh... run round the garden."
The blood, sweat and tears of training, your life's work, your profession, where your worst days are broadcasted and documented forever, summed up and equated to a jog in the garden.
Dancing Queen breaks his laughter and chimes in this time, "What, in 73 seconds?" A direct reference to a fight in which you suffered a painful and humiliating loss, and they continue with the excessive, oily, guffawing.
You warn them, "I'm serious now—now you're taking the piss." They're still laughing like idiots. You step forward, face serious and finally they get the message that you're not impressed by their personal jibes cloaked as banter. You tell them it's disrespectful but dancer boy doesn't want to listen, puffs his chest and objects. You walk away.
You are deemed a violent, humourless thug.
Ridiculous.
James is a w.anker

James was trying to appear big in front of the other muscle boys by tackling the alpha, knowing BB would save him if anything happened. Audley was perfectly calm and controlled despite the temptation of crushing James like a twig which he could have done with one hand.
PMSL
They are linking his mannerisms to one, I think.
But his mannerisms were not one of a thug.
I really like this post
On Bots tonight Judy James ( and the other one who looks like Annie Lennox ) were eulogising about how 'brave' James was to stand up to the 'intimidating' Audley
B****x
Excellent post, I totally agree with you. James is so disrespectful it's untrue. And George has gone down in my estimation although he did know when to stop.
It's perfectly possible that James is a w*nker *and* that Audley is a humourless thug. Indeed, I would suggest that it is the most reasonable reading of the situation.
I agree, James is very insecure, he seems to have a problem with Audley and Gary, both of them having sucessful careers, he seems to think it makes him look good having a go at the big people in the house, both of whom could crush him with words never mind anything else.
Flat out ridiculous.
Agree!
What I find amusing is any of them looking down on the other or taking the pee out of another's stalled or failed career.. They've all ended up in the same place after all.
LOL they all are ! You won't get anyone appearing on CBB unless they REALLY need the money. I'd take Audley any day over James though, James is an ego laden twonk.
Very, VERY good post. Calm, reasoned, to the point, and extremely accurate. Couldn't agree more.
You seemed to have taken over my keyboard as I was about to type exactly the same words .
James is a ****** what does Ola see in the clampitt?
Ditto
Like you OP ,i'm failing to see how Audley can be painted as a Thug
As for the silly Cow on BOTS the Psych who said Audley was as bad and very intimidating in that argument needs to get a grip ,as he was none of those things
In some peoples eyes it would be because they don't believe certain hms should stand up for themselves in situations they themselves wouldn't stand for, like i said in other post it's one rule for one and one rule for others. I am sure those giggling little man-child would not be so happy if some stranger they knew for a few days were making a joke about their careers and downfall but they expect Audley to sit back while they do it to him.
And so are the other BB contestants it doesn't mean they can't stand up for themselves!
