To be fair to 'Jimbo', he does allow a few comments that, I suspect, Peter Hitchens would not be comfortable with.

Probably his best ever line:

I'm genuinely surprised at the reaction to the comments.

I'm not surprised at the comments on his blog. He might be an odious, unfunny relic of a bygone era but he supports our boys so he can do whatever he likes.

yes and thankfully the pro davidson comments are in the red

Just cant be arsed with Davidson at all, hes just a total dick cheese and a completely unfunny twat

Bit of a given, that.

Living in Norwich as I do, I am tempted to find the manager of the Theatre Royal and build a statue of him. But anyway, a couple of points do raise their head regarding this:

1. He doesn't apologise for his behaviour towards the staff even seven years later and;
2. If, as he claims, the stories are unfounded, and have been reported in several newspapers and at length on Radio Norfolk yesterday, why doesn't he sue the Theatre Royal for defamation?

Secondly, this myth that all of the armed forces worship the ground he walks on would not seem to tally with the story I saw on, I think Popbitch (so to be fair, pinch of salt may be required) a few years ago. It is alleged that whilst being filmed performing at a airbase somewhere overseas for a BBC show, he spotted that one of the RAF pilots was black, and then wove all manner of chucklesome tattifilarious good old fashioned racist jibes in his act.

Rather than bottle him off the stage, they got their own back the next day, as Davidson was taken up for a spin in a Tornado by one of the pilots. Who then executed a series of stomach churning loops and banks that even the Red Arrows would have said were "a bit much". Unsurprisingly, unpleasantness occurred from both ends, and the story goes that the cost of cleaning an ejector seat in a Tornado was going to be sent to the BBC, and in order to avoid this, a lot of the film crew spent a rather grim couple of hours scrubbing....

Couldn't they have just pressed the ejector seat button?

They could have flown with the roof open and turned over. That would have got rid of the nasty pile of shit and puke that was stinking up the cockpit. But people might have asked where he had gone.

I really can't understand why Davidson has decided to make a big thing out of this. If I was a theatre manager I would be very reluctant to book an act who has pissed off another theatre so badly that he was told never to darken their doors again.

Jim Davidson was in a comedy -I use the word loosely- play once, about a washed up old style comedian struggling to find work in the modern day comedy circuit.

I kid you not.

Featuring a small cast of no one of any worth (no proper comedian today would even dream of touching this, just Matt Blaize selling his fucking soul), it was due to be performed in my local theatre.

As was well publicized, it was canceled very early on due to very poor ticket sales.

When interviewed of course, Jim sees it differently:



Oh I see, the current economic climate - the new gift to the failing entertainer.

Here is a review of the show, which does a far better job of explaining why nobody wanted to see it.

One interesting bit describes not just Jim himself very well, but most comedy haters today:



And a nice bit of joke theft.



Also, if his type of fan loves "dirty pub gags" so much, you think they'd love comedy today wouldn't you? After all it's all dirty pub gags isn't it?

"Now get those trousers off before someone dies!"

An ex of mine's Dad once worked in a London pub, where - after last orders - Davidson rudely barged in and demanded to be served. Ex's Dad quite rightly refused to serve him.

Undaunted, Davidson decided to resort to the lowest and cheapest trick of the fading celeb - a pompous "Do you know who I am?"

Ex's Dad civilly replied, "Yes." And continued to refuse to serve him.

My Ex and her Dad had - perhaps still have - severe issues. But she said that that was one of the rare things that he did which she genuinely wanted to applaud him for.
