Working such long hours, it's occasionally nice to "unwind" watching the TV, only problem, there's so little on to use to "unwind".

Yep straight at ya!

Seem to have alot of knowledge of the idiot box, for someone who works those hours

Too true! Great show. Roberta Williams should have sold ringtones: "Answer yer F*** phone C*** B*** "

And yet, I haven't seen Ramsey's Kitchen, but did see one episode of Hell's Kitchen where he opens up and swears black and blue at somone for no real reason. If he tried that in an Aussie workplace, he'd be in court so quick.
I don't understand how he can swear at someone like that in a room full of kitchen knives and walk out alive!

That's so sad, PCness is out of control

Well i guess it started in Ramseys Kitchen where he was being himself, and then the YANKS got hold of it and as usual, scripted in all the swearing (referrance to jumping on the bandwagon)

Now he & Chopper Reed can have their own talk back show / That will give Opra a run for her money

I suppose the fans of Ramsay must see something in the show that I haven't been able to pick up from the promos and from the brief parts I have seen while changing channels.

All I have ever seen is someone whose management skills consist of insulting and humiliating people and whose communication skills are so poor that he has to resort to boringly repetitive obscenities to make his point.

He may have some good qualities, but I have more important things to do with my life than subject myself to his self agrandisement in an attempt to discover what they are.

We watch Ramsay's kitchen but I (insert naughty word here) Detest Big Brother Bullsh**.

Just on a side note for those who don't think much of Ramsay, he is one of the world's best chefs. Just comes wraped in a package a lot of people don't like. After all look at what we drive.....................

Sure as hell doesn't seem to make any difference with all the obese people I come across in the city all the time. Interestingly enough, they are mostly women. Also interesting, never see Asians overweight.

What about the Sumo's on the Mitsoid Canter add, they arnt all that slim as far as Im concerned and Im over weight but they make me look anerexic.

If it didnt have the tantrums and swearing it wouldnt be entertainment it would just be a docco on how to change your business so it would be even less entertaining but I also agree that it is the same framework and some of the arguements seem a bit scripted but the moral of the story is well intrenched so that everyone can get it.......Dont be such an arogant git when your in business and be prepared to change to suit your custom rather than expect your custom to change to suit you.

Cant stand BB, but love Ramseys Kitchen nightmares, like the rest, not a fan of Hells kitchen though.
