    Hi. I found this topic in the Lounge.

    I know most of you don't visit there very often so thought I'd steal it and post it here as well. Sorry Lounge Mods. :teresa:

     

     

    It's a personality test (nothing whatsoever to do with Robbie) but hey, it's a slow news month.

     

    You can access the test here. There are apparently 16 personality types. Which one are you?

    Robbie Williams: My nan could be in Blur

    Singer takes a pop at Alex James in latest rant

     

    Apology is all a Blur ... Robbie Williams has had another pop at band

    ROBBIE WILLIAMS has dropped a bomb all over his latest mission to make peace with Britpop’s heroes.

    The singer took aim at BLUR bassist ALEX JAMES during a themed edition of his Radio Rudebox that was designed to make amends for his recent rant against Nineties indie bands.

    Robbie’s broadcast, from his website, was class.

    It included tracks from top bands of the Nineties and opened with Animal Nitrate by SUEDE, who sparked his original moan.

    But he singled out Alex for criticism after accusing The Sun columnist of “not being very nice to him”.

    Robbie said: “Alex is the bassist in Blur — my nan could do that. All she needs is a new haircut.”

     

    Granny rock ... Robbie reckons his nan could be in the band

    He explained he first met the band during a TV show appearance in Manchester with TAKE THAT when he was just 16. Robbie said: “From what I now know, looking back, they were suffering from a little bit of middle-class angst.

    “I did feel like I was part of the s*** beneath their shoes for being in a boyband.”

    But he praised Alex’s bandmates, calling frontman DAMON ALBARN a “majestic songwriter”, and admitted “loving” some of guitarist GRAHAM COXON’s solo albums. He said drummer DAVE ROWNTREE would make a “great politician”.

    He revealed intimate moments he shared with Britpop’s finest, including taking heroin with ELASTICA and reading poems to JARVIS COCKER at Glastonbury.

    Robbie also answered criticism from bands he slagged off in his recent tirade, which defended investment in Nineties pop.

     

     

    He felt particularly guilty after upsetting SHED SEVEN star RICK WITTER — who responded to Robbie’s tirade by tweeting: “We’ve had good chats in the past. What went horribly wrong?”

    Robbie said: “I don’t want to upset him, he’s a nice guy. I’ve met you three times, Rick, we have chatted and we’re on a level. I’m sorry that I slagged your band off.”

    Robbie insisted his “misguided blog” was just defending pop. He said: “There is a lot of snobbery towards pop music, to me and pop in general — it’s kind of a despised art form.

    “There’s a lot of ‘Check out that fat ****, he’d be nothing without GUY CHAMBERS.’

    “I’m coming from a place of, ‘Hang on, I’m being picked on here, I don’t like it.’”
