You'd be right he was a professional rugby player when he was young.

Personally I don't mind him too much.

It's like CSI, Channel Nine don't give you a choice, it's on every night of the bloody week lol
You're right, don't watch - and I don't.
But reserve the right to have an opinion on having a program like that with someone like him.

l cant talk for his food, but what your saying is you support workplace harrassment & wouldnot bother if someone got up in your face & degraded you in front of your workmates
Workplace Harrassment laws were brought in to stop pricks like that
What his doing is fullblown workplace harrassment & it should be taken off TV

Couldn't agree more.
In fact, I went one better and left a comment on the LHMU's website about them making an example of young Gordon.
They never bothered to even respond, let alone comment on his behaviour
A good opportunity to drum their anti-bullying, harassment etc policies and they've blown it.
Title: Re: Gordon Ramsey

Not to mention it also blows the workplace agreement policy out the door
who the hell would sign a agreement to work with someone like that & get abused
what would happen if he got up in someones face & they smacked him backwards into the deep fryer  :o

ooops here comes workcover & lock the place down & view the security footage  :lol in this case the producers film
l bet you wouldnot hear about it & the show & ramsey would quickly disapear  ;D

I know two people who use to be waitresses. One did it for a living for 15 years while the other did it part-time while studying at uni. They can relate to Ramsey knowing hot-headed chefs who swore and went off at the staff all the time. They also said if you saw what went on in the kitchen you wouldn't eat the food. What the eye don't see the chef gets away with. The girl who was studying at uni also had to put up with sexual harrassment from customers.

I agree, cant stand the man, and I dont watch the show for that reason. He is a foul mouthed bully, that for this snap shot in time seems to be the flavour of the month. It is totally unnessessary to carry on like that but unfortunately it gets ratings, so I guess we keep flicking till he does get pushed into the deep fryer :wallywink

I respect anyone who is passionate about their craft like Gordon is. We need to look at his two show in a completely different light. Kitchen nightmares as far as I'm concerned is a community service whereas Hells kitchen is purely a competition with a very substantial reward. In Hells Kitchen, Ramsay plays the hard assed drill seargent pushing contestants to the brink. Kitchen nightmares is about saving peoples businesses, removing the dead wood and cleaning up their act. If anyone has closely watched this show they will notice that Ramsay will only slag off people who deserve it. On a few shows he has encouraged young chefs and shown them how to do things the right way. Its the lazy burned out hacks that he targets and they either respond to the wakeup call or they cave in and leave.

Was watching On the Couch and them talking about Fevola having a go at a player who didn't pass to him.
And then there's Richo's dummy spits.
And how everyone would probably condemn both them for doing that and then in the next breath think Gordon Ramsey is an okay bloke.
Go figure!

Mooney and Steve Johnson had dummy spits at Scarlett when he kicked it out of the full. The media call it maintaining high standards when you're winning but poor behaviour when you're losing  :whistle.

Good to see Monk you're getting your news & current affairs quota from Today tonight. When it comes to presenting the news accurately and presenting stories that are totally unbiased, There is no better source than Today tonight!  ::) Hmmm what channel is Rasey on??.... No further questions your honour!

Moi, I rerspect you incredibly and always enjoy your replies but for the life of me I can't see what a Richo Dummy spit and Gordon Ramsey have in Common. A more appropriate parallel would have probably been David Parkin at his red faced worst! I think they are still trying to remove that phone from the woodwork at Princess park! ;D

It's called morale in the workplace.
If i went around screaming at the people I work with like he does, and Richo does sometimes, morale would be rock bottom.  Richo gets criticised for sending the wrong message to younger players, but this bloke is held in high esteem for some reason.
Sorry, but I don't get your logic either.

I like him and I like the passion he shows for what he knows about. And in the end of it all this is what he's trying to do. And this is show people how to cook food better than they do. He knows more about food than most of us, so if this is his way then its his way. And like it has been said if you don't like it then change the *#@^%$ channel. To me this se3ems to be the easiest thing to do if you don't like him.

Gordon Ramsay signs on with Herald Sun
Article from: Herald Sun

http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,21985,23812117-2862,00.html

June 05, 2008 12:00am

THE world's hottest chef is joining the Herald Sun.

Gordon Ramsay, who's opened more than 22 restaurants in six countries, written a dozen books and fronted three TV series, will contribute a recipe column each Tuesday in our new extrafood section, beginning next week.

The recipes will appeal to everyone, from novices to regular cooks, from the budget-conscious to dinner-party planners.

Ramsay's straightforward and sometimes salty passion for food has won him fans among cooks and diners alike.

It's also won him a BAFTA -- the British Oscar -- for his TV series Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares, now seen on Channel 9, and a dozen prestigious Michelin stars for his various restaurants.

His new column comes as he prepares to visit Australia this month to attend a Sydney food show and launch his new book, Healthy Appetite.

Having recently opened restaurants in New York, Prague and Versailles, outside Paris, the father of four has little time to relax.

Herald Sun editor in chief Bruce Guthrie said Ramsay's signing was a huge coup.

"We are very excited to have him as part of our new food section. His recipes prove that above all else, he's a great cook."
Title: Re: Gordon Ramsey
Post by: mightytiges on June 05, 2008, 05:36:31 PM
Moi's buying the Age from now on  :lol

You can just see what the recipes will be like...

Scones - Take 4 cups of self @#%& raising flour, a pound of *#%! butter, mix the #^&()ers together with your fingers not your #&*$ing hands. Add milk until it's a &%#@ sticky dough. Use cutters to size then shove the #&^$ers into a #^$#ing hot oven at 200 %@#%ing degrees until golden @%#$ing brown.

Gordon Ramsay remains unapologetic about language

http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,21985,23893889-2902,00.html

June 20, 2008 10:48am

GORDON Ramsay has responded to Australian politicians complaining about his swearing... by swearing.
The foul-mouthed British TV chef reacted with typical colour today to news a Senate committee has proposed changes to broadcasting standards, prompted by his expletive-ridden outbursts.

Liberal Senator Cory Bernardi complained one episode of Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares contained "the F-word'' 80 times in its 40 minutes.

The committee has recommended parental lock-out systems be made standard for all digital televisions and says the industry should clarify what is meant by the terms "occasional, some and frequent'' coarse language.

Ramsay's response on morning TV today was relatively mild by his standards, probably falling into the "some'' coarse language category.

The unapologetic chef told the Nine Network the kitchen was a high pressure environment, and he lamented reports the Senate wanted to introduce tighter measures.

"Oh dear, that must be (a) catastrophe, no? Turn over (the TV channel), isn't it easier, eh?'' he said.

"I don't mean to swear, it's just the muppets I have to work with sometimes. We have a good day where things run to total perfection but throw a donkey in the mix and, yeah, you're in the s**t.

"The minute you start running the kitchen like it's some form of limp d**k society, trust me, get out.

"I want to run a proper kitchen with a pair of b******s, not stand there and wish everybody a Merry Christmas and pat them on the back every time they do a good job.

"It's high pressure, high energy and, more importantly, real - that's how we keep it every day.''

Who cares what Ramsay says nor what the politians think in this case. It's opinionated commentary on subjects like this that distract people from the real issues that should be worrying them not whether a guy swears on the job. Wonder how many times in a game do footballers swear as a whole. Big deal.
Title: Re: Gordon Ramsey
Post by: Moi on June 23, 2008, 06:47:54 AM
What if Ramsay's employees all returned the favour and starting mouthing off at him, is that okay?
To me he's just setting an example for others to do the same.
I don't watch the show, so can someone tell me if they swear back at him and if he reacts?
Title: Re: Gordon Ramsey
Post by: tiga on June 23, 2008, 03:50:24 PM
Moi, I can only speak on what I've seen and plenty of the people he works with in his shows give as good as they get and Ramsay just keeps on ticking. One things for sure....He ain't no hypocrite. He actually tries to instill vocalisation in the people he works with so as long as the swearing is not loud enough to be heard by the patrons, he doesn't seem to really care whats said as long as it ends in "Chef".

I know the guy is a hypocrite and the swearing just adds to the vibe of superiority he is trying to create. Must be suffering from SWS. (Small Willy Syndrome)
If the kids want to watch cooking shows without the sailor talk then they could always watch the much more friendly Ainslie or the much more attractive and well endowed Nigella on pay tv. :thumbsup

The swearing doesn't do his publicity any harm and it's now his calling-card but from those I know who worked in restaurants they've known plenty of chefs just like Ramsay and a kitchen isn't for the faint-hearted. They also said a lot people wouldn't eat the food if they saw what goes on.

Title: Re: Gordon Ramsey
Post by: bushranger on June 09, 2009, 05:16:37 PM
Love him or hate him I bet he wouldn't give a rat backside.
But it is his swearing that has now become the man himself.

To watch a show without him swearing we would turn off right away.
He is passionate with food and this is what he is doing his best to convey to us.

And this thing with Tracey I really don't care one way or the other to be honest.
But the woman reporter that chased him just to see if she could get him to bite was just the same a the tabloids would do.
I am unsure of what channel they were reporting for but they need to look at themselves as it was poor.

And yes I hate cooking shows but I do watch his as I like the passion he has for it.
