From Popbitch

" >> Dr Who's There? <<
No hard feelings

Nice to see Maisie Williams
has been telling everyone how
much she enjoyed her time on
Dr Who. From what we hear, it
sounds as though she made some
really good friends there.

Possibly less enamoured of the
Dr Who team is TV producer
Petra Fried. She found herself
sat next to Steven Moffat and
Mark Gatiss at a BBC Worldwide
dinner – whereupon the pair of
them spent most of the evening
making fun of her (admittedly
unusual) name.

But that didn't stop Moffat
from knocking on her door
later that night to suggest a
nightcap. Weirdly enough those
hours of being sniggered at
hadn't put the producer in
the mood for one, so Moffat
sloped off again.

    Her brother Terry is a lot more relaxed about his given name according to the website Rock Git.

    It is a funny name though.
    Re-posting Popbitch mailouts? What is this 2007?
    Yawn.
    I don't read tabloid newspapers for a reason.

    But you read this thread though.

    And less of the slightly personal sniping replies, please.

    I read the post because I had no idea what it would say. There was nothing 'personal' in what I said. I have my opinion on salacious tabloid gossip which is exactly what this is. And it has no place in this forum.

    They've implied, she, well, got on famously with someone senior there before, if I'm recalling it correctly. Of course I don't really care to remember it. Foul gossip & slander no doubt, as Chopper Read used to say.

    Where's the personal sniping reply exactly? I see yours...

    Neither do supercilious comments like your first post.

    You have to think about the motivation of the people saying these things.

    How you holding for cash?

    But I am superior to anyone who reads, believes and enjoys that sort of tabloid gossip and salacious nonsense. I'm quite confident of that thanks.

    Mr and Mrs Fried should be ashamed of themselves picking that name.

    You should have a word with the parents of Mo Lester and Mike Litoris.*

    One of my workmates swears that he went to school with a lad called Pierce... the offspring of Mr and Mrs Mycock.
    True story (allegedly).

    "Re-posting Popbitch mailouts? What is this 2007? Yawn."

    Popbitch reports all kinds of gossip including in the past rumours about the actual show. Therefore without clicking to read the actual contents of the thread it was impossible to tell. As it is the thread is little more than nasty and malicious gossip that casts aspersions on an 18 year old girl who I happen to think is a damn fine actor and two of my favourite writers. So I'm not keen I'm afraid.

    As a side point IB. I know exactly what you're doing. I've been banned twice in a fortnight and you're no doubt trying to bait me into saying something that will get me banned permanently. It's why you are yet again following me around trying to get a response from me when you haven't even bothered to comment on the actual thread topic. In light of this you won't be getting a response from me as im not risking the ban just to have a petty argument with you again. If you want to take this little battle of wits to private message then I'll happily engage otherwise... Cheerio!

    Aha, that's why they call him Isambard 'Klingon' Brunel :D

    (it's a joke folks, not an attack ;-))

    I just searched for Petra Fried on IMDB, and the result beneath is someone called Petra Fritzenwanker.

    I don't think Petra is a very lucky name in the entertainment business..

    You think Popbitch and Rockgit are bad, definately avoid Jazzjerk. It's absolutely shocking!

    (I have no real idea what the former is, tbh. Suspect I'm not missing out...guessing shallow, vacuous and "incredibly dull, boring and tedious" to quote the one with the long scarf.)

    I actually didn't realise that Popbitch was still around, or to put it another way how is it still around and not been sued to oblivion yet?

    Did Moffat slope off after being slapped round the face? That's what annoyed women do, don't they? In Moffworld?

    I've never heard of Popbitch before. I'm still not sure what it is. (Please don't tell me, I'm not that bothered).

    @ Mr I K Brunel - not a nice trick imo.

    Come now, don't be so naive. This is a Doctor Who forum and your reply was "Re-posting Popbitch mailouts? What is this 2007? Yawn." - That's nothing Doctor Who specific. The fact this was posted to a forum about Doctor Who would have told an intelligent person (one superior to anyone who reads, believes and enjoys the sort of tabloid gossip and salacious nonsense that Bopbitch provides) that it must be relevant to Doctor Who. Do you see?

    You were just being slightly personal in your sniping against someone who "re-posted
    a Popbitch mailout". Careful you don't end up like Caroline Skinner...
    As it is the thread is little more than nasty and malicious gossip that casts aspersions on an 18 year old girl who I happen to think is a damn fine actor

    The thread is about a 50 year old woman, which proves you're so keen to fire personal, insulting remarks on these forums that you don't even read the opening posts properly. You have an itchy salad finger. Sorry, trigger finger. Maybe you cause collateral damage, like an American fighter jet bombing a hospital?
    I've been banned twice in a fortnight

    Then maybe you need to reflect on your behaviour as a human being more than you have during those bans? What you appear to be saying is, that after two bans, you have simply returned unable to desist your sniping. As I said in my first post to this thread, your snideness and superciliousness was 'slight', but as you move on from your last ban, you'll soon be back to the kind of comments that have brought you back to square one before.

    I don't read Popbitch, so this thread was very welcome by me. I learned something from it and am grateful to TrishaPB for sharing it. The same goes for threads that inform me what was in Private Eye. Unless you know there will be a full series in 2016 and Caroline Skinner is still an executive producer with equal input to Moffat.

    To be fair, the gossip also involves Maisie Williams and alludes to her relationship with someone high up - it's all up there.

    I also don't see how saying posting stuff from Popbitch, a source so filthy even the gutterpress wouldn't go there, is questionable or dull is actually a personal attack of any kind. Popbitch was all the rage in the early noughties but is a bit out of date. It's not really a personal attack of any kind unless you choose to see it as such, when you've got it in for the person posting it!

    my goodness you can't leave it can you? It's so obvious you are the one who has a personal vendetta against me that even other people have picked up on it. I asked you relatively politely to lay off. I don't care for what you have to say. You dont care for what I have to say. Just ignore me and I'll ignore you. If you keep on doing this then I'll report you. As I've said before I wouldn't usually dream of doing that but if you keep on going I will. You've been asked nicely.

    Alternatively I would happily take this argument off Digital Spy and onto another platform. But I'm done with you on here. Simple as that.
