Okay, a pretentious cunt, BUT you have to admit, GREAT TV last night.
As for the 21 year old 'Chef de Cuisine', ................gives chefs a bad name. Wouldn't be allowed to shell eggs at my kitchen if I employed him

I dont think gordons particularly pretentious, just devoted to his industry and frankly pretty disturbed by what he saw in that kitchen. As was I...I think he says "fucking" a bit too much but he's just serious about cooking

All the swearing at least had a point- he cared.
I was won over, against my tabloid-prejudiced preconceptions, by his common-sense and obvious committment.

Trust me ID, he is pretentious, but for good reason. He is the best in the business, but whilst that lad (an other tossers like him) deserved it, I felt Ramsey was a bit OTT. and took a perverse pleasure in breaking him.
Also, an Environmental Health Officer wouldn't have shut down the establishment, he would have issued a 72 hour warning. To shut down a place by EHO would mean it being infested with rodents, fridges not keeping food at a safe temperature and with a complaint by a member of the public who had suffered some kind of reaction from food poisoning

Great TV... I couldn't believe the attitude of the "Head Chef"!!! If anyone was pretentious, it was him.... scallops on blackpudding with a hollandaise??? In a Yorkshire village??? WTF!!! Maybe in a big city like Leeds, but not in an old fashioned fairly conservative village!

I don't think GR was at all OTT in his behaviour toward him. The lad deserved to be made to blub.

Can't wait for the one at Moor Place in Esher (next week??)... it's just down the road from me. I went there for the first (and only) time about 2 years ago and sent almost everything back and refused to pay.

I thought he swore too much, I mean it is national telly, and it was only 9 o'clock.

Even I was a little put out with all the F words (I often have liberal use of colourful language), seemed to me that swearing was gonna be the ticket seller rather than decent tv.

In a sweeping contradiction, however, I will admit I enjoyed the actual show a lot !

Trouble is with/for Ramsey now is that is attitude and swearing is his USP, and thats what the producers are buying when they use him. I bet he's under great pressure to keep up the swear count, even when he feels he doesn't need to, just to satisfy the programme makers.

The swearing and put-downs are all an act folks ... it just makes for great television, Gordon Ramsey is possibly just following the rules given to him by the television company as to what they actually want the programme to be, Gordon is actually just an ordinary working class type of fellow ? who has made good, and the thought of him being pretentious is laughable, don?t forget he was a professional football player before he moved into the culinary world, and up in Scotland not many shit football players have the luxury of being pretentious.

Twas the proudest moment in my life so far when I passed with flying colours and honours.
The passing out parade was beautiful.
I still have it on camcorder.
Magoo standing to the side as we march past him and then turn and give the one fingered salute with the "Up your arse you fat ginger cunt slag bastard" response.
Aaah bliss.
We fine tuned our skills in certain bars frequented by Hereford's finest hardnuts and balaclava wearing thugs.
"Stuff your 'ed up yer balaclava wearing bitchs arsehole you fat thick tattooed cunt."
My dentist was rather good at removing several teeth that had become lodged in my windpipe.

My family were shocked at my achievement.
As Grandmama asked me if I'd like a scone with my tea, I replied, "Stuff it up ya bracket y'old bag."

Magoo, I couldn't have done it without you, you fat swollen pot bellied ginger swine.
Now I'd like to take you up on the offer and return to become an instructor at Top Cunt.
