I started with Germaine Greer, then was interrupted:

2: Jeni Murray.(womens Hour R 4) Does a good job putting the womens case on issues.
Asks all the right questions. Does not take prisoners. A serious broadcaster.

3: Kirsty young. (Desert Island Discs.)

Digs deep with her interviews. I was disappointed when she did Crimewatch. Seems to be hiding her real talent for later in her career.

4: Libby Purves. Midweek R4 and the Times.) A real "Mrs sensible" Very rational view of life. Brainy and forceful. Not too understanding of unambitious people. Who are often very nice.

5: Kirsty Wark: (TV Newsnight.)

Very impressive. Good interviewer, pushes hard but not offensive. Said to be good fun at parties. I will look forward to what kirsty does next.

More next time. They will all get promoted
(hopefully)

That was fucking great, Gabby.

Valpollicella · 17/12/2010 13:14

GabbyLoggon, jog on

I'm a poet and I don't even know it

GMajor7SwansASwimming · 17/12/2010 13:34

A poster we call Gabby Loggon
Whos tales are somewhat shaggy dog - non?
Writes nonsensical drivel
Though always stays civil
As he rides through MN his toboggan

But I feel sorry for Gabbly Logan
For bearing the brunt of this low man
Whilst you all kiss his arse
Frankly I think I'll pass
I'd rather watch repeats of Shogun!

AngelZigzagsSparklyYuletideLog · 17/12/2010 14:34

How cynical you seem to be GMajor,

You think Gabz is trolling I'll wager,

But to try and rhyme toboggan,

Makes me think 'What the doggone??'

Take care not to be seen as a rampager.

(I'll not be giving up my day job any time soon Grin)

GabbyLoggon · 17/12/2010 14:46

Scan is alway difficult when rhyming.

There was a wee golfer from troon.
when playing a queens own dragoon
who went round the course
on the back of a horse.
While his caddie cleaned up with a spoon.

That scans ok...but there are better poets than me who dont observe the scanning rules.

I think some of you are more in need of MANNERS than poetry lessons Why act like Chavs?

If you are Logans FANS you seem too scared to defend Gabby. Who wants frightened fans
Not the self appointed Queen of Rich mond Hill.

There was a right weirdo called Gabby
Whose prose was sadly quite shabby
He irritated Mumsnetters
Not a great man of letters
And his willy was ever so flabby.

FellatioNelson · 17/12/2010 21:06

Shock Can't believe just did that. In my defence, it's Friday.

GabbyLoggon · 18/12/2010 12:28

Fellatio with his/her tortured soul, has nothing to offer but insults.

Was he/she rejected by their parents as a toddler and dumped in a dustbin. If so the abusive insuter deserves our sympathy.....and free help should be available on the NHS...

I dont believe in just locking up people who had hard childhoods.

Clear off fellat and find something / someone to like. thats the answer to your problem...not insulting me. Good luck with it

different angle

women smile socially more than men.

now I have a lot of women in authority positions. I am told in an authority position ladies have to drop the compululsive smiling : is this true.???

I have been in many courts. And it is true not many judges or JPs smile

OP posts:
Valpollicella · 18/12/2010 21:27

Gabby. Divergent angle.

You've been in many courts? Why doesn't that surprise me?

You were up for stalkering, weren't you?

FellatioNelson · 18/12/2010 21:48

Careful now Valpoll. He's right up there on the libel laws. Even if you've posed it as an opinion or a question and no-one knows/cares who the fuck he is in RL on he'll have you.

Be afraid. Be very afraid. He knows his stuff. I was SO scared.

FellatioNelson · 18/12/2010 21:48

errand 'on'. Sorry.

FellatioNelson · 18/12/2010 21:51

I saw one of those fake vintage oh-so- trendy/funny signs yesterday that said:

'A clean house means a broken computer.'

I nearly had to buy it, in spite of myself. Grin

Valpollicella · 18/12/2010 22:13

Oooo

I'm so scaaaared

Bring it Gabby.

FellatioNelson · 18/12/2010 22:28

Erm, sorry - last post was meant for another thread entirely. I blame the almost-Christmas sherry. Anyway, it should appeal to Gabby's love of the random/irrelevant.

GabbyLoggon · 20/12/2010 11:48

I go to courts because I write about courts and the legal system..Valpol compared to some of you posters I take life serious and delve much further than the pub and the footie results..I find some of you very shallow; but it takes all sorts. Are you scared of serious subjects and leave them to the middle classes...so they can run your lives? (It was just a thought.

If you want something serious to speil on. My prostrated Cancer site is under DO YOU WANT TO LIVE TO A HUNDRED I DONT....

Go on. bite the bullet...

Valpollicella · 20/12/2010 12:01

"If you want something serious to speil on. My prostrated Cancer site is under DO YOU WANT TO LIVE TO A HUNDRED I DONT...."

What does that sentence even mean? Prostrated? Do you mean prostate?

You write for a living? Not particularly well obviously.

My great-grandmother lived to 103 and from around 98 onwards would regularly lament still being alive. She said she'd had more than enough and was looking forward to shuffling off this mortal coil.

What is thread about? I haven't read the whole thing. Is there a particular point to be addressed or is it more free form?

TheFoosa · 20/12/2010 12:36

yabtotallyu about Stephen Nolan, he's fucking terrible

GabbyLoggon · 20/12/2010 13:04

This thread tends to cover every subject as it arises, thx...a mixed grill of discussions....headed by G. Lux Logans name.
But dont let that put you off...I just ask posters to play by rules of common decency.
Mumsnet is not a pub bar at midnight. If it was the title would be Bumsnet...

cheers.. almost a charity...sometimes
hilarity

foosa

I have been on stephen Nolans phone-in on several occasions hes a tough cookie.

I got the "should he wind his neck in?" phrase off Nolan. it amused me

OP posts:
TheFoosa · 20/12/2010 20:29

have you? he's like the Daily Mail of radio

GabbyLoggon · 21/12/2010 12:12

foosa...Nolan hammers all politicians..he is
a bit like john humphreys.

David Beckham was told he needed to contact home while living abroad.

He dried his eyes and said "I will buy six flat caps and a flock of racing pigeons.

The plan is to teach the pigeons to fly back to manchester and coo "UP UNITED"

I will let you know if it works

OP posts:
TheFoosa · 21/12/2010 17:18

what's he going to do with 6 flat caps though? that's just excessive
