"I think these shows have a potential for acute embarrassment... All I would say is keep smiling, whatever happens. I watched it last week and whoever the celebrities were forgot to smile when they lost all their money. That's a big mistake."
Gordon Brown advises Piers Morgan when to smile on Who Wants to be a Millionaire
(from Piers Morgan's Diaries Vol 3, p101, which I am very much enjoying, thank you for asking)
Of course, Gordon smiled all the way through losing our money. It's only when he was accused of being a bully yesterday that he showed any emotion at all. (And his answer amounted to "I would do nothing"...)
ReplyDeleteEasy to smile when the money you are losing is not yours...
ReplyDeleteI think the Prescott smile is better!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteIt certainly more human!
"...forgot to smile when they lost all their money. That's a big mistake."
ReplyDeleteWhat about when they lose all our money ?
Nick Clegg could do with lessons when to open his mouth!
ReplyDeleteThe sereal gaffer is officially on Gaffe Watch!
Will the next Gaffe involve 30? Maybe someone should ask him how many MP's he thinks he will have after the next election!
I think the Gorgon Medusa would be more of a crowd-puller.
ReplyDeleteBrown's smile always looks contrived and unnatural. Part of this is because, perhaps due to his poor eyesight, he never seems to be looking directly at the camera, which gives him an evasive air.
when you`re smiling the whole world smiles with you. Or not in this csse
ReplyDeleteWhat a great quote !
ReplyDeleteA 'good spot' as they say in the trade...
'Smile though your heart is breaking..'
ReplyDeleteSome of the most natural communicators hardly ever smile. Not smiling has been part of the act of some very liekable people - Les Dawson again.
ReplyDeleteThe key word is natural. If you smile naturally then smile your face off. If you don't, don't. You can communicate humanity in other ways. Dry wit perhaps.
That's what's beyond Brown - anything natural - so he gets it wrong every time, about everything. From him we get not dry wit but dry and wet rot. He brings the house down with both.
Yes.
ReplyDeleteLearn from Gordon, Piers.
He learnt from the master himself after all..Carry On
he wouldn't do that if he loses his own. most ppl WENT CRAZY went they lost theirs. and when i said CRAZY i meant it literally >> http://tinyurl.com/oovglc
ReplyDeleteNicola Burdett gives Gordon advice on when to smile and then blames others for the result.
