Nigel's just a grumpy old man who finds Lembit irritating.

Lembit is irritating. We only see the highlights remember - he probably waffles on 24/7.
Highlighted the word "probably"

We don't know ....

Nigel is fantastic - witty, funny and doesn't suffer fools likely.

Lempit is an arse and should be treated as such!

Bully,no way.
He's no bully LOL
For goodness sake if you think thats being bullied you must lead very sheltered lives

Up his own A*** yes but not a bully

Well a bully is somebody who singles somebody out and constantly tries to grind them down and put them down incessantly.

I think he's trying to bully Lembit, but I think that so far Lembit is doing a pretty good job of soaking it up.

This is correct in definition, there are many forms of bullying, the one we all hear about the most is playground bullying and physical bullying to where people then think that people are exaggerating when they mention bullying in this form.

Wikipedia has a bullying definition which I think fits the bill of Social Bullying - "Bullying is a form of abuse. It involves repeated acts over time attempting to create or enforce one person's (or group's) power over another person (or group) , thus an "imbalance of power". The "imbalance of power" may be social power and/or physical power."

Nigel has specified a number of times (on the log and in the diary room) that he wants to slap him too, it may only be words, but the thought is there and if tipped over the edge (due to strange surroundings and lack of sleep) may possibly be physical in a form with him. Not slapping or punching, but maybe roughly pushing him out of the way or poking....................

I do think that Nigel has it in for Lembit and he will not back down. Its bad already, it can only get worse.

Nigel is n't doing this as a genuine reaction to anything Lembit is doing .
Its premeditated .

He said after he fell out of the boat

" Ive two weeks to plot , annihilate him ,
I think most people (us the viewers) will be very pleased."

He thinks we will love him for it .

I had forgotten that, well I rest my case then, Nigel is using Bullyish Behaviour. It makes me wonder if it's because of Lembit's political career. it's Nigel that needs to grow up. Lembit is quite popular. Ok, I can understand that not everyone likes him, but he's liked on the Celeb circuit and this is not going to go down well.

I think he's a lovely guy, a little odd, but thoroughly harmless, Nigel really looks like he's picking on a small child, kicking sand in the face of the skinny guy,

What's worse than a posh bully?

A weak, manipulative posh bully who woes all the ladies.

He seems to be acting the character he played in Coronation Street. Nevermind Lembit - who's the richest woman in there. Probably Britt Eckland.

Actually I am surprised how easily irritated he gets with lemsip.

One would think it would be water off a posh ducks back but no he is quite determined to turn everything into something bigger than it really is. So yes I see him as being rather bullyish. Just hope he dos'nt turn into a Flashman (Tom Brown Schoolday's type of character)

What a stupid connotation, if he was acting a character why would he choose his latest role?

Why not choose his roles in any of these

Setting aside the contentious term 'bully', Nigel Havers has very quickly shown himself to be a deeply unpleasant person, and definitely not The Charmer that he likes to think he is.

Not a bully, maybe a bit stuck up, but in those surroundings and with the constant close company of a small number of people it's not surprising that conflicts will arise.

Nigel is the usual camp bore who

Says he prefers womans company - narcissism

Says he cannot generate a proper conversation - narcissism, delusion of grandeur and snobbery

i am not. he wants to be the centre of attention, he is a weak man and feels at home with women as men frighten him. he is a typical narcissist obsessed with prestige (which he feels he gets from women) and power (which he thinks he has by dint of a fictitious intellect). He actually is a woman hater i suspect and sees them as weak, mailable and foolish.

I think he is so out of his comfort zone. Limpet obviously gets on his nerves, but he seems to have little self control, a bit neurotic if you ask me.

Lembit would irritate the Hell out of me but that is no excuse for downright nastiness.. Nigel is an arse - hope the public start voting for him to do some tasks!!
