I saw Gok Wan on a show a while back. Not his show, it was some sort of cooking show where teams cooked for celebrities or celebrity chefs or something. Anyway I think Gok Wan has some sort of chef/cooking background, hence why they were cooking for him. But the way he acted towards the team on that show was horiffic. He seemed like a right word removed.

He went above and beyond what anyone would need to do, chatting with everyone, stopping for photos, nothing was too much trouble for him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post mjmooney Posted June 12 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted June 12 Both my 30-something daughters are Taylor Swift fans, but no way could they afford tickets for the UK tour. However... Daughter #2 has a mate whose dad is a retired GP. He's bought them two VIP tickets for the Thursday Anfield gig. Meanwhile, #1 daughter bought a raffle ticket from her husband's workplace. She's won two tickets for the Friday Anfield gig. She's going to take her nine-year-old niece - daughter #2's kid - with her (as a surprise, she doesn't know about it yet). Happy families. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 I think I saw that the average price for Taylor Swift tickets on her UK shows was £205 each. That’s incredible. In fairness she puts a 3 hour shift in for that, but it’s just astronomical numbers on massive shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She rinses her fans for everything else so its hardly a shock Most Swifties have more of her records than @rjw63 has Beach Boys records and she's only made 11 studio albums. A good percentage don't even have a turntable 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
