I vaguely recall during nines all ramsay all the time period last year they played a documentary/ fluff piece about mr ramsays previous tour down under where he pulled the same stuff on a nz tv host. Friendly with him one day and then attacking and insulting him behind his back.

Sorry no details come to mind

I think the old cliché is: “If you lie down with dogs you get fleas”. The new cliché might be “If you lay down with dogs etc …” reflecting the apparent fact that modern journalists don’t understand grammar or meanings of words as well as they might. I think that if you did “lay down”, you really would “feather your nest”

I like cooking shows up to a point and I like it bit of humor during them. I have never watched Ramsay, nor am I likely to, the critiques that I read on him were enough for me. So I never saw his interview on A Current Affair, nor his remarks about Grimshaw. But I did hear Grimshaw’s attack on Ramsay last night, and good on her, she is more than capable of cutting this moron down to size.
But on the other hand A Current Affair often has a rather nasty vigilante side to it, often with inarticulate persons being attacked and harried with little chance to justify themselves. People being chased down the street with demands for answers to the journos questions that they have no god given right to demand answers from. And often on the basis of an unsubstantiated accusation from a third part.

Ramsay is, and always has been, a rude arrogant pig of a man, who believes his own publicity. Good on Tracey Grimshaw for getting stuck into him for his rudeness. When it comes to the need for botox, I think Ramsay should take a look in the mirror? I’ve ‘accidently’ come across his shows in the past, and quickly moved on. I don’t find his type of ‘entertainment’ enjoyable or entertaining. Yelling abuse when you’re in a position of power is not funny to me, nor is this kind of rudeness! The sooner Nine takes his show off air the better. I’d prefer some good Australian drama any day. He’s already exhibited his misogynist attitudes via the way he treated his long-suffering wife. A fine example to his kids, I don’t think? And he has daughters????
