Passive aggressive is a way of making it very clear you don't like them without their being able to pick you up on it. Eg my ex boss and I both knew I was constantly passive agressive towards him but there was nothing he could do about it as I was never anything but totally polite in what I said to him. Used to drive him crazy

Still, it was her choice to leave him for 3 weeks.
Re not sweating the small stuff - you;re right but I reckon it will all kick off tomorrow if she doesn't get to be super-cook

Antony Cotton's CV

Sorry for digging up this old thread folks, and for quoting myself, - but I think the BIB shows how Mark is working us. Dougie FTW!

Agree with this.
Fatima seemed pretty straight up to me. She says what she thinks and it's her way of doing things. on the whole she is a tollerant person who does give others the benefit of the doubt.
She had maturity and life experience on the young guys. I enjoyed watching Fatima most of all on the programme, shame she went out before the final day.
Mark or Dougie? don't care who wins. But I have to say that I didn't dislike any of the celebrities who were in the jungle.

i like mark but what your saying is soo true, every oppurtinity he got he would talk about his love for lauren/ how he will never stop loving her/ but how he still wants to hook up with emily or another girl its all for magazine deals and he did say that he wanted to have a kardashian type show

Best act of passive-aggressive that I have ever carried out was after a particularly bad taxi journey with a lazy taxi driver to boot. When I got out of the back of the taxi, I got out on the passenger side and left the door open - knowing he would have to get out of his taxi and close the door.

I personally didn't see any passive/aggressive behaviour from Fatima but saw plenty from Antony and Mark! The little barbed comments dressed up as humour and when she picked them up on it, they adopted the 'little hurt innocent what have I done/said face'.

I think, the trouble is NOT passive agressive but a simple matter of people not being willing to listen to others and handle it correctly AKA Anthony.

He expected to tell others what to do when he was not in control and them take his advice and could not handle it when they did'nt. He also had a bad attitude when others advised him, by stropping and turning on that person.

Everyone is allowed to advise another, its how they respond to it that causes the trouble.

Could someone please Define "passive aggressive", Is it another word for Bully nowadays,

My own personal interpretation of passive aggressive is what I like to call martyrdom. Say you bring up a thorny subject with your OH. You state your point. They ignore you and walk out of the room looking hurt. They then maintain the wounded look for several hours. That, for me, is passive aggressive. Your legitimate concern turns into them being the injured party. The frustrating thing is that when someone won't talk/argue back, you get nowhere.

Yeah ok folks,

But let's consider 'passive-aggressive' in terms of my original post.

Do you think it describes Mark's behaviour?

Marks behaviour, Queen Anthonys behaviour,(passive bully) both the same, Mark saying in the BT about not swaying people and doing things to look good, didn't his mum teach him to be tidy and not loaf around, Oop,s my bad she is a celebrity now Wannabee Wanabee all of them, When will I will I be Famous comes to mind,

No, because frankly, to behave in a passive aggressive way requires a certain amount of intelligence or cunning, neither of which Mark has in any degree.

Personally I am sick to death of pa being used as the new buzz word on many threads on here, when it is blatantly obvious that most of the posters using it have never taken the 15 necessary seconds to LOOK IT UP IN DICTIONARY.

Oh! I'm most dreadfully sorry! It seems that my question has provoked an angry response in you and that was never my intention. I simply asked a question, and wanted responses to it. I never meant to cause offence. My friends assure me that I am not offensive in any way,and they were quite annnoyed by your response, but I assured them that you have never been mean to me before -apart from that last time. Oh, and the time before that. But that's all water under ther bridge now, isn't it?




















Yah see what I did there?

Good Lord! I almost forgot to tell you that I have several posters of you on my wall, and I tack you daily on Twitter. It'stoo bad that I work for the CIA..............

If Oldnjaded's definition is right, then I don't really think Mark would fit that description. From what I saw, he made no pretence of liking Fatima or even being polite to her. It was just a simple personality clash, as far as I could see.

Yes I agree. It was a personality clash. But his response to that clash - how would you describe that?

Rude and unpleasant. I felt sorry for Fatima.

Okay, I'm going out now, but I'd just like to conlclude that Dougie ought to win this!

Mark just says whatever he thinks the audience want's to hear. He is insincere and untrustworthy.

Dougie likes unicorns, boobs and food. He sounds like my son.

Dougie the flake over Mark the fake anyday!

Bye!
