Why do some people on this forum do this? When a subject comes up (music, tv, sport or whatever) there is always an element of people who say 'xxxxx who'?

Is it some kind of display of idiocy? I mean, someone has just said 'Andy who?' about Andy Murray. You really do have to be pretty dim to not have heard of someone with his media profile.

Very odd.

Boring day mate ?

Probably…

mastiles who?

fannylion. Duh!

🙂 I was waiting for that one

LOL

Flashheart, you beat me to it – damn and blast your goggly eyes sir!

Is it some kind of display of idiocy?

No. It is an expression in common use which is usually abbreviated as "WGAF?"

I am not claiming that it is particularly witty, constructive or helpful, but it does not connote idiocy. 🙂

reminds me of a knock knock I heard recently:

Knock knock
Who's there
Control freak, now you say control freak who.

control freak who?

Doctor Who?

My favourite knock know joke is the one which goes:

'I've got a good knock knock joke, you start.'

'Okay. Knock Knock.'

'Who's there?'

…

Back on topic though, sometimes it can be quite genuine. All the media profile in the world won't grab your attention if you switch off whenever certain subjects come up.

For instance the first I knew about jade Goody's cancer was when she died of it.

Jade who?

Jade Goody has cancer?

there's something called cancer?

Speak up.

Have a stumbled into an old folks home?

I'm 37 you know.

I'm not going to change your sheets again, Mr Hastings.

I beg to differ about Andy Murray being a celebrity. He's a sportsman.
Celebrities are ten a penny these days and even the word pisses me off.

brilliant 😛

Andy who?

Where are my reading glasses, Dez is that you??

I'm with jackthedog – there are a very large number of things that make me turn the TV off. Soaps, football, cricket to name a few. If they come on the TV, the TV goes to another channel. If they come up in the news I zone out and ignore it. I don't have the brain-space to care about that sort of thing, so I choose not to take any notice at all. That said, I'd not reply in the thread either.

Whats tv?

It's a horrible disease that primarily affects the lungs.

I did say 'When a subject comes up (music, tv, sport or whatever' but perhaps my use of the word in the title wasn't clear.

You used a title?

Mr who?

perhaps not everyone takes as much notice (is as submerged) in media / celebrity bollo* as you…?
