About time someone pointed out that the emperor has no clothes. Just a shame it takes an Aussie to do it - where have our standards gone in this country?
He's a good chef and a great motivator but he just thinks he's a lot funnier than he actually is.
I love that episode of Have I Got News For You he hosted where Ian and Paul just ripped it out of him constantly. It was good to see him taking some stick for a change.
I like the way people think it's great and funny that he shout and swears at other people in thier place of work, but wouldn't stand for it in their own.
Can't stand him. Personally I don't care how amazingly talented anyone is at *anything* - if they can't even be civil to other people, I can't muster up any respect for them.
If he talked to me like he talks to .... well everybody actually, then I would deck him and believe me I never hit people. He is a complete rectal orifice. Once ran alongside him at a Gade Valley Harriers training run in Hemel Hempstead. It starts off along the canal and you wouldn't believe how big the temptation was to give him a nudge.
In the end I think the only reason I didn't was a desire not to pollute the water in the canal.
There is a story that the millionth English word is about to be coined and Gordon F***ing Ramsey only knows one !! Well OK apparently he now knows the word lesbian as well but he probably doesn't actually know what it means
His TV personality is just a commercial product that seems to work well and enables him to get more shows. I used to watch him before he really ramped up the swear words. It's not that I found it offensive, just irritating.
I prefer Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, he's nice and fuzzy and I want to give him a hug.
It is just his celeb persona to a certain extent that was built on his behaviour towards others . Insulting and attacking others is seen in some quarters as amusing and entertaining -he plays to that group. Bullies do that -dont they? Often they will dismiss it as "a bit of fun" (just as he did). He needs to get out of the playground.
I am bored by his persona which is created deliberately. To be aggressive and macho fills a gaping hole in his ability to socialise and communicate normally and still be a 'name'. It gets him attention, but it isn't particularly original playing Mr Nasty. Unpleasantly contrived instead of cheesy contrived.

Thanks for drawing attention to it GD.

KK - watch the videos on the link and I think you might go off him a bit!

I really admire him as a chef, he is an astonishing technician. I don't really like the TV personality Gordon Ramsay.
I think I will wait till Farnie Jnr has left before I watch the link :-/
Saying that... I bet he'd be a very entertaining dinner guest
I don't fancy him. I think he's gross.
I suppose that makes me........?
Me too, in that case, LB!
I don't like his tv persona, and from what I've seen on those clips he's not very nice off camera, either.
I think the Aussie media has gone a bit overboard, too, though.
Actually, many, many years ago my best friend's boyfriend tried it on with me.
When I rejected him, he told my friend that I was a lesbian!

I just don't like being personally insulted for no reason. I suspect I might end up calling him something I wouldn't say in front of my parents......
Wilkie - I always find it amusing when people assume that they are so gorgeous you must be gay if you knock them back!
Absolutely GD.

he's not to be taken seriously.
I can't believe he's managed to offend an Aussie, wow, have they gone soft?
Gordon is a moron?
or was it a Mormom ?
Was one of his protege's Angela Hartnett yesterday and she was taking the pi$$ out of him something wicked,
Followed up by Monty Don muttering about testosterone fuelled cooking !!!
