Can he not keep saying "we as a country", "that's not how it goes in Britain", "we're not in America" "in this country"... etc. It's so patronising and since when is he a spokesperson for our country?

[G1dds]

Yep I agree. He's as irritating as feck when he says that. I can tell you, he ain't speaking for me, the arrogant pr!ck

[waterhog]

he has some valid points - we do wait for people to finish before we speak - its called respect.

Is that just Britain? No. He brings nationality into it when it doesn't need to be as though he's constantly conscious of "Gary's American".

Gary is Gary, what he's doing is connected to his hearing etc, nothing to do with being an American in England.

As though he's insinuating you can be rude in America but not Britain. He himself disproves that rule instantly.

There is far too much emphasis being put on Gary's hearing issues.
He is often rude and ignorant to people when he knows full well they are talking to him... he interrupts and is rude.

I could say there is far too much emphasis being put on Gary's "rudeness" and not enough on the lack of patience of some other housemates who don't seem considerate enough to take others needs into account. They selfishly just focus on themselves.

Considering his struggle to hear and understand accents has led to the majority of his problems/altercations in the house I'd say so it's perfectly valid to include it in conversation.

Agreed.

Gary can be rude at times in ways which I don't think are affected by his impairment. But a lot of the time the housemates cite having to repeat themselves as a reason for disliking him, so yes, emphasis does need to be put on his hearing impairment and the other housemates' lack of tolerance for it.

I agree there but that is if one has perfect hearing......

Is that a "British thing"? no, so there's no need for him to keep bringing nationality into it.

I actually brought this up in another 'James' thread. He certainly does not speak for me when he starts with his 'we' nonsense.

Same, especially in his condescending tone.

[armand.kay]

Thank you he is so up himself!!!!..... get him out!!!

[Marc]

Hes too opinionated. Fair enough everybody has an opinion but there's a time when people can hold back and he just seems to shove his down others throats without warning

[Firewire]

Thought I would like him but he's turned out to be a prick

[Cherie]

No really he is speaking for you British

[Pete.]

It's a shame I thought he would be a good housemate
