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)

SECURUS SCRIPTOR tell me about your interesting nickname? Are you a school teacher on hols?

No, another mumsnetter changed hers to the latin and I thought it was a jolly good idea so copied.

Why? Are you a teacher? No one else spotted it (or I daresay, gave a fig!)

JaneS · 11/08/2010 21:22

This is oddly compelling ... do you think there are subliminal messages encouraging us all to vote BNP encoded in Gabby's posts? Hence DP's presence?

Or is it a giant statement of support for special brew and its effects?

Easywriter · 12/08/2010 16:17

Hope not, it'd look really bad if a black person voted BNP!

coraltoes · 12/08/2010 16:30

you know when you read a thread and think "brilliant, 2 mins of my life i'll never get back?" Hmm

GabbyLoggon · 15/08/2010 14:59

Mumsnet say they dont allow personal abuse among posters.

And it is they who run the show and not us.

It seems very reasonable to me. Because slanging matches always end in tears.
Except in Prime Ministers Question Time.

The thing to do is to try and find a style of your own which does not include personal abuse.

There will be plenty of abuse between Liverpool and Arsenal.

Gabby Logan

mrs Logan seems to play her cards close to her chest. (yet half boasts about porta loo
childhood)

Ed Miliband also takes the Porta Cabin line. (where Gabby and he in the same Cabin?)

Gabbys philosophy of life is pure footballer daddy. Do your own thinking big girl
She does not reveal much of herself in her broadcasts. She would say "it works" And she
has become rich.

Her tame internet interviews suggests she has 2 or 3 jobs. (In a recession)

She is an ace capitalist and makes no secret of it. Exercises to the point of distraction ( Very small bum, she says)

There is said to be a book being written about her. I hope it goes deeper than her press interviews.

He attitude to life seems american; and shemay end up in California.

Gabby spoils prgrammes for me; though I do find her facade makes me want to know the Real Gabby Logan Perhaps I should write the book

Gabby Logan ...update and 5-live

For those of you who are not radio buffs

The BBC are transferring Radio 5-Live to Salford up North next yext.

Most 5 Live broadcasters are going North.

Gabby logan is the exception, she will leave the programme when it goes North.

Logan has bigger fish to fry than 5-Live.
She does TV and business. so predictably she appears to be staying put in Kew. (Daily mail info)

The in-joke goes

Absolute disgrace, Salford council refuse to allocate Gabby Logan a gated council house.

DON'T TAKE THE BROWN ACID

thx1138 · 13/10/2010 10:43

Surely Yorath was her maiden name. Logan is her married name.

I had assumed you were an authority on these celebrities.

Spidermama · 13/10/2010 10:48

It's mushroom season then.

GetOrfMoiLand · 13/10/2010 10:48

What the fucking hell is this thread about?

What? When? Why?

It is like it has been translated from lithuanian into English via Dutch. Makes no sense. Why are people listing broadcasters. Why is there a mini row in the middle? Why are people saying don't take brown acid and what are the references to journalism?

thx1138 · 13/10/2010 10:49

Ooh mushroom season. Yaaaaaay!!!!

GetOrfMoiLand · 13/10/2010 10:49

Sample quote: "Absolute disgrace, Salford council refuse to allocate Gabby Logan a gated council house."

Eh?

Eh?

StealthPolarBear · 13/10/2010 10:58

lol at this

Gabby, I will spell it out in very simple words:

Why is this thread in a section entitled "Am I Being Unreasonable?" What do you consider you may be being unreasonable about?

Why did you start a politics thread in the feeding section?

Why is your title about "lady" broadcasters but your thread includes men?

What is the point of this thread?

Are you a wind up merchant? If so, what's in it for you?

GetOrfMoiLand · 13/10/2010 11:35

Lol SPB

I can imagine you speaking v e r y s l o w l y to the OP

Ilythia · 14/10/2010 21:49

GabbyLoggon · 16/10/2010 10:52
