He can't tell the time either, ask his dad.

But due to today's youth culture, he's worth £10 million.

You can't argue with that.

i don't know anything about Joey Essex or his IQ ,but if his life revolves around drinking ,clubs and beautiful women then he has his priorities right imo  Grin

Nowt to do with politics - it's just basic knowledge you gather just by being alive.

How can you possibly avoid this knowledge other than being physically impaired in some way?
Report SlippyBlue • April 3, 2015 4:16 PM BST
I've got absolutely no idea about Joey Essex as I know nothing about him but talking of intelligence my niece is doing a Masters degree which she is acing and has already had a book published which she was the editor of. My point is that she has got the common sense and awareness of a goldfish and that is on a going day. She is frequently getting lost and losing things, her basic knowledge about most everyday things apart from fashion, art and music is negligible. God bless her though, she is a wonderful girl but I wouldn't bet huge amounts she'd know who the prime minister either.

when i went to college every student was boozing it up. i was asked by a student which roman numeral subbed for a hundred. there is only seven of them to remember.

They loved talking about alcohol. I called it bicardi breezer knowledge.

i figure joey goes from the house straight to a bar and pickles his brain for a large portion of the day.

There are plenty of thick people on here, never mind out in the real world.

Those who remember Jade Goody on here saw some of the most appalling comments when she died.

The fact her boys were left with no mother didn't matter to the utter morons and trolls on here, they said she deserved to die as she was thick and a waste of space.

If we took that to task on here, the place would be half empty.

I think the fact that Jade Goody got minted for just being herself, invoked pure and simple jealousy from the morons.

He's obviously pretending to be thick, anybody who thinks that he's really like that is the thick one.

I reckon he's taken a leaf out of Brian Belo's book. Belo made a lot of money pretending that he'd never heard of Shakespeare and other such nonsense.

They are both Essex boys as well. Belo first came up with the idea of doing a TOWIE show and  believe he tried to sue the makers of the show for stealing his idea.
