I think there were times when, if circumstances had developed, I might have been tempted into politics. I am a fan of Tony Blair. I think Gordon Brown is a fine man, but I think he’s headed for one hell of a bloody struggle.
Gordon Ramsay grew up in a tourist town, Stratford-Upon-Avon, but in a part tourists don’t visit – a council estate: a concrete bunker subsidized by the local government, synonymous with deprivation and blight.
Gordon Ramsay makes me laugh because he knows that I’m not a chef.
The worry in Labour circles is that, when pressed, Gordon Brown instinctively moved to cut the benefits of the poor rather than upset businesses and the wealthy.
I was there when Gordon Brown basically was taking over – so right in the middle of that transition. It was fantastic; I learnt a lot.
David Cameron has a different style to Gordon Brown.
I grew up in the golden age of Flash Gordon and sci-fi.
Aaron Gordon, obviously, is a great runner.
Gordon Brown and Alistair Darling, in hosting the G20 summit and in the budget, must display the same boldness in tackling the instability at home that they do in promoting a worldwide answer to the global meltdown.
People talk about the difference between radio acting, TV acting and stage acting, but I think it’s all the same. For instance, when I played Vultan in ‘Flash Gordon,’ I put as much energy into it as I would with ‘King Lear’ – it’s all part of the same thing.
‘The Irish Duke’ is a sequel to ‘The Decadent Duke’ about Lady Georgina Gordon who married the Duke of Bedford. ‘The Irish Duke’ tells the story of their daughter, Lady Louisa, who married James Hamilton, the powerful and wealthy Duke of Abercorn.
There I met Gordon Jackson and Dave Meredith who were playing in local bands.
I really do like Scottish people. I have met Gordon Strachan quite a few times and always liked him. Craig Burley is another Scot I played with at Chelsea and he’s a good guy.
The bottom line with a lot of bands that funk is being applied to is that they don’t really listen to funk and aren’t versed in funk. Like, you know, Gordon Lightfoot.
My younger brother was a big Stoke fan, and I was sucked into it. I was kind of waking up every morning and looking at Gordon Banks’ face! We had all these small football cards – literally hundreds of them – and swapping them was the currency back then.
My colleague Bill Keegan has written a very short book (‘Saving the World?’) on an unlikely topic – he is the first economist to try to rehabilitate Gordon Brown.
I’m one of three judges on ‘MasterChef’ with Gordon Ramsay, but I don’t want my own show. I’m kind of used to the sidekick gig.
It is our job to work for the government of the day and so that means working for Gordon Brown as Prime Minister, and we need to do those preparations just to be sure that we’re ready for whoever you, the British public, elect and that’s core to our civil service values over the last 150 years.
Eric Gordon is a great scorer.
I had a bet with Gordon Kane of Michigan University that the Higgs particle wouldn’t be found.
The people who work in Wall Street still look up to Gordon Gekko. He’s sort of a guru.
I don’t think there’s any danger of me playing Indian music. However, I did a song of George Harrison’s ‘Beware of Darkness’ that was kind of like that. That was an illusion. I was playing that on a thumbtack piano, and Jim Gordon was playing tablas. He’s an amazing player. That was as close to India as I ever got.
I was, like, ‘I really wanna see an Eric Rohmer movie take place in a Bert I. Gordon universe.’ Where there’s a story going on that’s about, you know, loss and desire, but with a giganticized-animal element.
Just as the England football manager starts with bells and flags and balloons and ends up reviled, so do prime ministers. Tony Blair – is there anyone more despised now? Gordon Brown – all right, nobody voted for him but, you know… just think of any of them. Margaret Thatcher. John Major. Steve McLaren. Fabio Capello.
When Gordon the Brown, in London in 1997, commissioned a great inquisition or survey of his new realm, the result was the so-called national asset register, which was immediately dubbed by the boomers of the UK Treasury ‘the modern Domesday Book.’
Guys like Josh Gordon need to stay in his sport and mind his own business.
To reduce repossessions caused by unemployment, Gordon Brown needs to look at cutting the rate of corporation tax for small companies to 20 per cent and the main rate to 25 per cent, while reducing the rate of employers’ national insurance by 1% for the smallest companies.
Many of our problems are home-grown. Gordon Brown regularly advised the rest of the world to follow his British model of growth. But the model was flawed. It led to the highest level of household debt in relation to income in the world.
Growing up, I was always a big fan of Jeff Gordon.
Star Wars’ was derivative of ‘Buck Rogers’ and ‘Flash Gordon,’ wasn’t it?
I fully support U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon in his Global Education First Initiative and the work of U.N. Special Envoy for Global Education Gordon Brown and the respectful president of the U.N. General Assembly Vuk Jeremic. I thank them for the leadership they continue to give.
I actually really enjoy cooking. Gordon Ramsay taught me how to do a great beef Wellington.
