He does like to yak

and yak and yak and yak....

(Whose Russel Brand?)

Lady G.

I misread the title, I thought it said Prat Yak.

I wish it had.

Victor - how could you mar the otherwise immaculate reputation of our friend the noble yak by associating him with the stain on creation that is Russell Brand?

If I was going to a show at the Mockney Vampyre theatre, it would be bearable if the show was given by a yak. They are, as I have said elsewhere, enigmatic and effective performers, and their static style forces the audience to use their imagination, which is only too rare in today's loud culture.

If the show was given by Mr Brand, well, one would be forced into a state of hysteria by his constant ejaculations and showered by droplets from his slobbering, spitting ego.

Erskin,

It is the hair extensions and chest wig,

Pure yak hair I'm told.

Now that the truth is out eveyone will want to do it.

Not sure if yak herders will be able to keep up.

Still, it seems against nature.

I mean, you couldn't imagine Russell Brand in Outer Mongolia (oh please let it happen.......).

Now that's clever. Pity it got lost in the conversation.

Just tell him he's receiving an award there and he'll show up.

Crikey! The Spoof is a better place to learn stuff than at school....

Brand was born in Orsett Hospital, Grays, Essex, England as the only child of Barbara Elizabeth (née Nichols) and Ronald Henry Brand, a photographer,[5] who had married six years earlier. Brand's parents separated when he was six months old, and he was raised solely by his mother; he would later explain he had a somewhat isolated and lonely childhood.[6] When Brand was seven, he was sexually abused by a tutor.[7] When Brand was eight, his mother had uterine cancer; a year later she had breast cancer. Brand stayed with relatives while his mother underwent treatment. When Brand was 14, he became bulimic. He left school and home at 16, at which time his mother had lymphoma and he did not get along with her live-in partner. He began taking drugs,[8] including: cannabis, amphetamines, LSD, ecstasy, cocaine, crack and heroin.[9] Brand stated during an interview on National Public Radio's Weekend Edition Saturday that he had "a strange relationship with his father, whom he saw sporadically and who took him to visit prostitutes during a trip to the Far East".[10] After Brand's parents divorced, his father remarried twice.[11]

Brand attended Grays School Media Arts College, a comprehensive. He made his theatrical debut at the age of 15 playing "Fat Sam" in a school production of Bugsy Malone, which prompted him to become an actor. He began working as an extra, and applied to study at the Italia Conti Academy. He was accepted, and Essex council funded his tuition for an introductory year, with potential funding for three additional years. Brand joined the Academy in 1991, but was expelled during his introductory year for his behaviour and use of drugs. Afterward, Brand had small acting roles in the children's show Mud and in The Bill.

In 1995, Brand applied for the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art and Drama Centre London and was accepted to Drama Centre. By this point he was a heroin addict and an alcoholic. He was expelled in the final term of his last year for smashing a glass over his head and then stabbing himself in the chest and arms because of poor reactions to one of his performances. After leaving Drama Centre, Brand decided to focus on comedy, and began writing material with Karl Theobald, whom he met at Drama Centre. They formed a short-lived double act, Theobald and Brand on Ice.[citation needed]


Lady G.

It's true...you NEVER stop learning.

You forgot to mention that he is rather hairy.

I didn't KNOW that! I hope he doesn't play 'Pool'...see my story re: Arm-hair foul in World Cup Pool Game...Sports section I do believe. I never DO know which 'headlines' to click on when I write a story....

It's a bloody true story too...it came on the t.v. news when I was onsite typing...just after EPL game.

As I say in my story...you just can't make this stuff up LOL

Lady G.

Bigfoot hairy

No, that wasn't his name.

LG.

He's also a mincing oily egomaniac.

But then, he's not alone in that.
