Friday 11th December, approximately 8.00pm. Deeply dislikeable grinning toad Dom Joly was on the receiving end of some instant justice after a disgruntled commuter decided to take a swing at him on the train, presumably still seething from the hugely ungracious, boorish performance the ?comic? put in on ?I'm a Celebrity?.
We know this because the self-involved human embodiment of the word ?gloat? tweeted the whole thing in real time. Do not look at his Twitter page ? it features several pictures of Joly being predictably ?zany?. The incident started innocuously:
?Getting hassled by a drunk on the train home- oh the joy of minor celebrity status…….? tweeted the man once described by no less than Pierce Brosnan as a “persistent little fat fuck”. It's time to look at yourself when James Bond starts calling you.
Anyway. The guy was probably asking Joly where his really big mobile phone was, seeing as how that sketch has been consistently hilarious each and every time it's been shown over the past eleven years.
?Memo to self- never take public transport again- normal people very frightening….?
?Yes I am in first class- just makes the insults worse….?
That's right. Whilst not mocking other people on Twitter (gems include ?wow 0 followers that takes some skill?loser? and ?wow 4 followers…looks like the only way is up for you….? as well as ?2 followers? your mum and your parole officer??) or throwing a massively childish strop when somebody decides to ?unfollow? him, the ?japester?? takes time to moan about his celebrity status, having to take public transport – even if first class – and ?normal people?.
And then wonders why people try and smack him one.
The gentleman in question succeeded only in breaking Joly?s spectacles and was arrested at Didcot Parkway. At which point Joly tweeted:
?Sadly- being on telly means you can’t lamp the twat back…..?
As if he was even going to. That comment is the equivalent of being the pussy in a midnight town-centre confrontation that backs down, waits for the other bloke to get to a safe distance before shouting something about the other guy's mother and then pegging it as fast as he can.

Hang on a sec, condoning a physical assault on public transport simply because you find Dom Joly ‘deeply dislikeable’ or because he mocks people on Twitter is a bit off isn’t it? Don’t you exclusively write articles mocking people for Hecklerspray every week, Paul? And if the Hecklerspray writing staff were less anonymous and more visible like Dom Joly I wonder how many people would find you lot deeply dislikeable?
Judging by the tone of the final paragraph then if you were actually in Joly’s shoes and being attacked, rather than calling people ‘pussy’s’ from the safety of the PC in your bedroom, you’d be getting stuck right in and ploughing forward with both fists, right Mr. Pencott? Okay.
