Can someone give some context behind these quotes from Rob Grant's daugther

[Veni]

So every now and again I’m on G&T cause I’ve made a really bad decision somewhere in my past, and occasionally I’m getting these quotes from “daughterfan13” who claims to be Rob Grant’s daughter.

Literally the quote on my screen right now says, “I’m Rob Grant’s daugher and the comments you displayed on my father in the review “Rob Grant is a lazy fucking cunt” are thoroughly hurtful and immature.” Now, as the investigative journalist I claim to be, I looked up “Rob Grant is a lazy fucking cunt” only to come up empty-handed with said-quote.

This isn’t the only thing I’m curious of, however, as another one calls former-G&Ter John Hoare a “whore” for whatever reason. So basically, can I get a detailed, in-depth explanation behind these historic quotations so I may get some sleep at night.

A diamond necklace played the pawn
Hand in hand some drummed along, oh
To a handsome man and baton
(Bygone, bygone)
A blind class aristocracy
Back through the opera glass you see
The pit and the pendulum drawn
(Bygone, bygone)
Columnated ruins domino

Canvass the town and brush the backdrop
Are you sleeping?

Hung velvet overtaken me
Dim chandelier awaken me
To a song dissolved in the dawn
(Bygone, bygone)
The music hall a costly bow
The music all is lost for now
To a muted trumpeter swan
(Bygone, bygone)
Columnated ruins domino
Canvass the town and brush the backdrop
Are you sleeping, Brother John?

Dove nested towers the hour was
Strike the street quicksilver moon
Carriage across the fog
Two-Step to lamp lights cellar tune
The laughs come hard in Auld Lang Syne
The glass was raised, the fired rose
The fullness of the wine, the dim last toasting
While at port adieu or die
A choke of grief heart hardened, I
Beyond belief, a broken man too tough to cry

Surf’s Up, mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm
Aboard a tidal wave
Come about hard and join
The young and often spring you gave
I heard the word
Wonderful thing
A children’s song

Child, child, child, child, child
A child is the father of the man
Child, child, child, child, child
A child is the father of the man
A children’s song
Have you listened as they played
Their song is love
And the children know the way
That’s why the child is the father to the man
Child, child, child, child, child
Child, child, child, child, child
Na na na na na na na na
Child, child, child, child, child
That’s why the child is the father to the man
Child, child, child, child, child

Guess I deserved that for asking a legitimate question on G&T of all places

[Paul Muller]

Back in the mid 2000’s, when G&T was notably swearier, this article was posted: https://www.ganymede.tv/2005/05/rob-grant-is-a-lazy-fucking-cunt/

Someone took issue with it in the comments.

Guess it got deleted

I didn’t actually check the link, but yeah, I suppose it must have been in a separate forum post or something.

Yes, she found it a while later and commented elsewhere, if I recall correctly. The rebuke was fair. Back then we allowed the urge to do what we found funny to override any consideration for how we came across to anyone who wasn’t familiar with our ‘humour’, and certainly to anyone that we writing about. It’s all deeply regrettable, so I hope that’s answered your question so as we can leave it at that.

It wasn’t mentioned in the dwarfcast was it.
I think it was a fair jibe in keeping with the satire of Spitting Image, say.

I always assumed that was someone taking the piss. I need to rethink everything now…. Is that actually Matt Damon that posts sometimes?

[tombow]

just realised that Matt Damons characters in the Martian and Interstellar are directly inspired by Dwarf
