His public facing image is that of a prat. I do not doubt that it is at least partially a gimmick; an exercise in the kind of exaggeration, fabulism (fabulation?), and self-pseudo-mythologising of the variety that many one-man-brand, box office dependent individuals necessarily partake in. And obviously he will pocket more in an hour than I will in my entire life. But a man of intellect, charisma, elequence [sic] and so on ought to be able to craft a public facing image that is not that of a prat. Many do. So let's not act like he is Gore Vidal with a six pack. Or some lamentably misunderstood warrior-poet-cum-auto-satirist upon whom future generations (or contemporary aficionados) ought to spew overdue adoration. "I am Tito Ortiz without the resume" or "I am a gypsy Skip Bayless plus boxing gloves" is not a Twitter bio to be proud of. It is to boast of being a winner of the 250cc race to the bottom. It is to become a symptom of a civilisation that fetes Steve Jobs with messianic forelock.

Additionally, parenthetically, and tentatively, I am not sure that doing Sky's 4th biggest PPV numbers is all that much to boast about either.
Never have I come across someone who extorts so many words from the English language to say absolutely nothing of substance as often as you do.

I put chilli in mine as well although these are for my mum as part of her Christmas hamper so no chilli this time. There might be enough left to make a small jar for myself so who knows.

He wants to incease tax on sugary soft drinks. I don't think it's a bad idea.

I can't see the issue with increasing the tax paid on unhealthy food. When it comes to taxing the shit out of products that are bad for people, it's been done for years with cigarettes and alcohol for example. Why not sugary shite too? On the opposite side of the coin, I can understand why some people would see it as interferring where individuals should be trusted to run their own lives. But you only need to look at the increasing NHS budget for obesity and diabetes in particular to know that such an approach isn't working.

It's not a bad idea. However he's still a patronising fool who makes me want to throw up when he's on telly. Sure he's devastated that I think that , crying himself to sleep in his solid gold bed whilst dabbing his eyes with £50 notes probably. I hate successful chefs lording it up on the telly. Where is their integrity ? More importantly why am I still working 12 hour shifts and not dicking around on Saturday kitchen or signing ghost written cookery books? Bastards

People need to get out more and do some exercise not slob out in front of the tv or computer. When i was young i was made to go out so we played football or climbed trees. As for taxes on fizzy drinks what next,full fat milk,butter and chips? It's just another way for the government to make even more money from the British public. Lager is a fizzy drink so do we put the price of that up to £4 a pint everywhere? We are the most taxed nation in Europe as it is so we shouldn't be indirectly taxed even more.

He's a massive hypocrite too, always going on about healthy eating but is more than happy to profit from 'Jamie's Diner' selling all sorts of burgers, ribs etc.

While I'm in here, Celebrity chefs. Why are they celebrities? who has decided they are good chefs? has anyone actually ever tasted their food? Sure, you may have a nice meal in their restaurants but it's not actually them cooking it is it!?

I must be in the minority who quite likes him. I've learnt a fair bit from his cooking shows and recipes. Particularly like 15 Minute Meals (which clkearly have 1 hour prep:p)
