Mike / Situation seems to be quite oblivious to how much Julian disdains him* despite the face to face nomination. Poor Mike.




* or how jealous Julian is of his vastly bigger pay check and current career

I dont think Julian dislike the sitch, he said in the diary room he was a nice lad just not his cup of tea.

Both Julie & Julian find it hard to understand how he could earn so much & not have worked for it as in years of doing tv & stage like most actors do.

Julian is more jealous of the 6pk than anything else.

I don't think Julian is jealous of or dislikes the occasional table I think it's more that he finds him an easy target as he doesn't understand much of Julian's humour.

[rayheartbliss]

i don't think julian 'dislike' him

and mike probably understands that julian is just a bit old to understand him

don't think Mike cares either way tbh

[flamingGalah!]

Julian isn't jealous of him & he doesn't dis-like him as such, he is just perplexed at why the guy is even famous & how he has made so much money, much like the rest of the population...

Could say the same thing about Julian. But thankfully he's barely doing much nowadays excepting touring provincial towns and a spot panto in Wigan, wondering why Graham Norton Alan Carr and Paul OGrady all have talkshows Meanwhile the Situation gets $600k to endorse a sports drink. Come to think of it, can't blame Julian for being totally bitter.

People have more money than sense if they have that much to throw away on someone who does what again?

How is Julian being bitter?? He thinks The Situation is a thick, untalented moron, which he is

Julian has had a big career in the UK & has had numerous TV shows etc.. He is first & foremost a comedian, so he does tours, as do most comedians, he has nothing to be jealous of at all

Corrected for you.

He no longer has a big career really just a few tours for women from the 1980s in Lowestoft. I can't bare Ricky Gervais, Frankie Boyle, Miranda Hart, Dara OBriain, Jack Whitehall, Russell Brand or Michael McIntyre, but if I was going to bandy the phrase 'X comedian has a big career in UK and has had numerous TV shows' these are just some of the ones this is applicable imo to. Not Clarey. His last proper attempt at TV was the Johanathan Ross flop vehicle 'It's Only TV' and even then rival panellist Jack Dee destroyed Clarey every week in the comedy stakes.

Yep you're right you were using past tense. Yep. Fell free to use your waving arm smiley thing.

[lostalex]

I still don't know what occasional table means. is "occasional table" a common phrase in the UK?

I don't think Mike gives a sheet what Julian thinks.

[alex_front2]

Occasional table is a piece of furniture that has no real function but may look good to owner but not everyone else. It's a table that's not really neccessary but is used for fluffy unimportant reasons eg storing peanuts when guests arrive etc. It's Julian's way of putting Mike down as being thick vain and pointless.

IC, thanks for explaining. Julian is an asshole.

And yet funnier than 'professional comic' Clarey. Sucks to be Julian.

How on earth is he "funny" He is thick as pig's sh*t & parades about as if he is some Greek God

Yes, hilarious...

[muchadoaboutnothing]

I did wonder what 'Occasional Table' meant and pleased that Alex_Front2 explained. I guess it is much the same as how people say there is a 'White Elephant' in the room.

[Saigon1]

I'm 25 and I new about the situation A few years ago, as did the majority of people I know who are all my age and older. Julian might have been big in the 80s but we aren't in the 80s anymore. He's a nobody now, trying to claw his way back on to the fame ladder but failing miserably.

That's lovely. But no one I know at all had heard of him...

I never said Julian was a huge star, none of them in there are

[alex_front2]

I heared about the Situation when I read a story about how A + F paid him not to wear their clothes. And I read a profile about his JS cast mate Snookie (?) and about an episode where she is arrested on beach as being one of the highest rated shows on US TV.

[Livia]

I don't think Julian dislikes him. I think he finds him stupid and slow, and so do I. I think Julian's feelings are closer to pity than dislike. And for anyone who thinks Julian's career died in the 80s probably don't realise that he's written three or four successful books. You don't have to be a brainless set of abs to be successful, you know.

ohhh 4 successful books? how many successful books has Katie Price written in Britain? like 20? let's put things in perspective. It's not exactly hard to have a succesful book in the UK if Katie Price has done it 20 times.

Well, I think the difference is the interpretation of the word "written". Julian Clary actually writes his own books, whereas Katie Price has a ghost writer who can actually... you know... write.

I remember Naomi Campbell "writing a book", and when her agent was asked whether she's actually written it herself the answer was "while she didn't write it herself, she is very much the author". What...?

Julan's autobiography is brilliant. You should give it a go... I highly recommend it.
