Is that you on there Kirk, as methodyguy?


Edit: Hmm, having checked 'his' (?) other posts I'm guessing not. Have you read the Countdown thread? It seems quite a few people thought you were a smug git :)

Some guy called Ken Tun has dubbed Kirk "Smugulator" and "Smirk Bevins", lol.

"If you need to dislike him more, go to the C4Countdown site and read his contributions and those of those who worship him (i.e. every other contributor)."

Just who could it be?

Come on you knobbers give us some links.

I could only find Countdown articles, as opposed to a Countdown section, and none of these seemed to have comments.
And a Google search for "site:digitalspy.co.uk smirk bevins" returns nothing.

People don't like winners in general and it's always nice for the underdog to win. Can you tell Ken Tun hates me? I do have some support on there which is really nice.

Yeah, I should have guessed to check the forums really. Oops!
It's such a fucking horrible looking site that it offends my design sensibilities and I can't stay on it for more than 10 seconds, that's my excuse.

But cheers Ben. :)

I have decided that Kirk is very much like Marmite. I'm sure there's a joke in there.

Actually, the more I look at it, the more familiar it seems. I feel sure I've heard something similar on a TV show or something, but Google has turned up nothing. It's starting to bug me a bit tbh

Jon Corby. You look really good in your new avatar but what are you leaning on?
It appears to be some kind of chair.

Kirk will think I'm even gayer than he currently thinks I am but yeah you do look great Jon. Beautiful smile.
Did you used to do modelling when you had hair, or is this just mate-with-a-nice-camera stuff?

Haha, fuck off - this is a recent picture. It's my hair. It's not my chair though.

Genuinely sorry. Like, really genuinely. I only mentioned the hair because much of mine is gone and I thought this was old (presumed you were taking the piss when you said it was recent before!).
I take it all back. You look about 20, a full ten years younger than when I saw you on CoC. You should get in contact with Gok Wan or something.

Still - modelling? modeling?

That's what I thought. You're clearly being cagey about it because you've got some deal with Hello around the corner or something.

Don't be so modest. The only problem with it is that reading each new post of yours now takes 30 seconds or so longer than it would otherwise have done because I have to look at your picture for at least that long before moving on.

It's his Christine Keeler pose, although he's wearing a t-shirt just to tease.

Digital Spy is the sort of website, for people that have no job and no friends. I bet 90% of the people who posted on that forum have watched Loose Women on catch up, have their owe way of cooking a pot noodle and have a bingo website amongst their favourites.

Just ignore them it's an interlectual waste ground.
