As previously discussed I can't stand Stephen Bayley.
I don't like Germaine Greer much either. But her review of the offensive book is worth a read. If only for this quote;
"The book seeks to answer the question: if woman was designed then what exactly was the brief?... When the verbiage is shaken down, we discover that for Bayley the imaginary brief is to design a fuckable thing.".
As previously discussed I can't stand Stephen Bayley.
The first person to say "you've said 'As previously discussed I can't stand Stephen Bayley.' twice" wins a prize.

Actually, the best description of Stephen Bayley that I've heard is when he was introduced on BBC Radio 4 as 'the second cleverest man in Britain'.

I thought he'd mutated into Jamie the Pigeon?

Coleman, that is - not Stephen Bayley, obviously. Though that would funnier.

I am preparing to send the author a non airbrushed image of my unsupported breasts this evening. Ordinarily I wouldn't share such a fact on a blog but I am enraged and join in with the dislike of this fiend.
PS Well done David.

You could always send that picture to me, Caroline - if you think it would make us smile http://www.davidthedesigner.com/davidthedesigner/2009/09/ok-so-lets-see-if-you-can-make-us-smile.html
Hurry, though - it has to be here by midnight.
