Is there a more repugnant example of the human race than a food critic? Just watching Masterchef Pro - fortunately that revolting, obese, wart of a man, Charles Campion, isn't on it, nor is the equally repellent, odious twerp Jay Raynor. But sadly Kate Spicer, the frowning, unsatisfiable old trout is on, and what a nasty piece of work she is.



I know that criticising things is sort of implied in their job description, but what a bunch of opinionated, miserable, stuck up tossers. I swear if Raynor was tasked with nibbling finest caviar off Angelina Jolie's waxed flange, he would find something to complain about.

Giles Coran seems ok though.

That is all.

I hate Giles Coren too- smug git, riddled with self-love.

The whole thing is pathetic imho.That Kate Spicer seems to stare at the contestants as if they are the lowest form of life.She has just returned from having Botox and other useless face improvements and I think the Surgeon has a relative who is a chef and has got his own back!

They are catastrophically miserable s, seem like typical Londoners to me, everything on a plate for them (pun intended) yet satisfied with nothing.

A job I'd love to have, I must say, but I cannot see how you could be popular with it.

On that show some of the 'boys' seem decent enough in their comments, at least sometimes. But Kate comes across as a permanently pre-menstrual, sour-faced old cow! By all means slate Ramsey or Rhodes if they don't get it right, but half the time these are amateurs!

He wrote an amusing review of The Connaught (restaurant, not the mothballed car marque) in today's Times supplement.

She has? She did? She needs some consumer law advice asap - do services also need to be of merchantable quality?

Speaking of pustules on the arse of society, I reserve particular disdain for the kind of obnoxious moron that can lump 7 million odd people together and stereotype them with a single comment.

My observation is based on several years of living and working in London and I stand by it.
