[Nostradammit]

5. Love Eddie Izzard!

That guy makes me laugh and laugh and laugh.

AND you might actually learn something!

[Hutzpa]

8. I don't like him..he thinks too much of himself and.....

he is a Racist bastard, don't care what anyone has to say, I experience it first hand, I was there when it happens, so stop plugging Eddie Izzard. I could care less about him. Tell me something I don't know.



:puke:

[Fredda Weinberg]

12. Racist? Got an example?

You know where he was born, don't you?

[Hutzpa]

13. He is English through and through just like me......

I've met him couple of times....being to his show until that faithful Sunday at wembley Arena, don't know whether you know where wembley is but thats where I was disgusted with his behavior. When he realized whats he's done came back out and offer the guy 10pounds sterling as if that would have made the difference, suppose his assistant told him to give the guy something as a form of apologizing. It was too late. 10pounds was like adding more insult to the guy.

[Fredda Weinberg]

14. Izzard was born in Yemen

Don't know how English that makes him, but certainly gives him a wider perspective than most Brits.

You still haven't given an example of his racism - got one?

[truebrit71]

15. You're gonna have to be more specific than that....

I've met him a couple of times too, and he was as funny and charming in person as he was on stage...

[Hutzpa]

18. Eddie was born in Yemen, but he is British.......

yes I'm not changing that, but that still does not change my experience with him, i was present, if you're looking for details, sorry no can do, because we promised his rep no of this will be out, I tell, its a known fact that he can be a 'plunker' complete 'plunker' IMO

[Bridget Burke]

19. Well, if Izzard is all that bad....

Certainly others have noticed it. Can you find anything to support your claim?

[Hutzpa]

21. If you implying documentation then there is none....

but it has happen and I'm a living proof to have experience it, I was in shock and awe at the same time, he could have been pissed from too much alcohol consumption, thats not an excuse, but I know what happen was totally unwarranted for. There was no need for explicit language and racial slur being used, as a celeb you never know who is watching you, for me he is down in my book. You can love him, loath him thats you prerogative....which ofcourse you're entitle to.

[truebrit71]

24. Do you mean 'plonker'...???

How would his rep know if you told DU your "Eddie Izzard Is A Racist Bastard" story? Does he post here?

Sorry mate, I'm not buyin' what you're sellin'....

I can see where he could be a bit of an obnoxious, self-important bastard, but racist? Hardly.

[Hutzpa]

25. Hey!! mate.......I'm not asking you to buy

neither sell, nor plug or whatever you wanna put it mate, awright, all I'm saying is this is what happen and I was fortunate to be there and so where others....and thats that. He acted like an asshole and I, emphasis on I will forever see him in that light, so if you trying to cajole me it ain't working. Now! Thank you for your time and lets get back into discussing real issues. Thank you, Goodnight and Goodluck!!!!

[Ravenseye]

27. Oh Sod Off

If you aren't allowed to say anything you should be posting anything here one way or another. You've all but told the story. He was at Wembley, or near Wembley and said or did something awfully racist. At least that's your claim. Yet you won't be specific. Yet you are insistent that he did it, but you don't care if nobody believes you. Yet you can't say anything because you promised his Rep you wouldn't, but you still are revealing it here essentially.

So if you're going to make claims, you better back them up at the very least with a story, no matter how unsubstantiated. Not even telling the story makes you sound like a complete tool.

For instance...I don't like Chris Farley but everyone else does. I don't like him because he nearly raped a girl at a party I was at and people had to physically restrain him. I have no evidence, the girl was paid off, there was no police report...So nobody has to believe me, but at least I told a story. If your'e going to say something at least tell the freaking story.

I'll be watching it again. :)
