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)

RoxieP - I thought exactly the same. Maybe it's funny (sort of), but I think poor Gabby is really not well.

SlightlyJaded · 18/11/2010 11:31

I think Gabby is actually a computer that has been programmed to generate as many sentences as she can using only words found on the Wikkipedia section of contemprary british broadcasters.

Shortly it will start to run out of 'real' sentences and resort to anagrams. Thereafter it will wind to a halt.

SlightlyJaded · 18/11/2010 11:32

apologies 'as she can' should of course read 'as it can'.

As you were

slightly...you dont sound all that jaded.yours
was a rather clever observation. Rare in the last 6 posts.

Take mumsnetters out of their limited comfort zone and they sink to abuse

Is it lack of education, focus or common humanity?

SlightlyJaded · 19/11/2010 17:24

why thank you Gabby I am looking forward to the anagrams.

Do I have to press 'enter' or anything to set you off again?

GabbyLoggon · 20/11/2010 11:37

Jason Manford has been rather silly;but I suppose he quit his BBC job to save his marriage.

I suppose websites like Facebook are a threat to relationships.

I do twitter, but have never seen the point in the followers thing..just use it for writing.

The smiley geezer from strictly is said to be getting Jasons job on the One Show

I suspect Gabby will stand in for |Alex at
holiday time

Sorry, I did not give a proper answer to ALWAYSBE, some time ago

A BBC public figure takes a lot of dosh from the license payer...that leaves them open to special scrutiny....by the law and private citizens.

My information at present come from Luxury Logans own internet interviews with national papers.

Obviously I take legal advice and stay well
on the side of the law.

someone once ended up in an Old Bailey dock for sending lots of record requests to the BBC (Oh yes they did.)

I do of course write and talk publicly on all sorts of subjects. Have done for many years right, right.

We watched the play about army bullying on BBC TV (Monday) called ACCUSED.

It was controversial Jimmy McGovern plays always are.

The army top brass tried to get it banned.

talking of bonkers posters-

does anyone remember BernadetteofLourdes? and NeverThrowANokiaAtThePM? I loved her/him/it/them and I wish they would come back. I truly doooooo

NeverThrow's extravagant lifestyle- and the tiresome brick through the orangery window- really did make me rofl. Absolutely and utterly literally

mayorquimby · 29/11/2010 13:51

"To be frank. I dont think Gabby Logan has the sense of humour which would allow her to post here. Prove me wrong , Luxury cheers."

Your continued ability to post here is proof enough.

GabbyLoggon · 01/12/2010 16:21

Well, some say Gabby has posted on this site. shewould use a nickname if she did. I suspected the Shirley ppster was her at one time.But now I think not.ts a free world. But she would not get paid her. Its not rocket science. Do you prefer Alex Jones to GAbbY ON tV oneshow?posher but P THINK gABBY posher but Alex is more natural Most women on BBC posh up a bit.

Saw Ricky Gerais on TV the other night. Hes clever and bril as a stand up (rude with it) I did not like The Office....a good joke once

Just to clear it up, is ShirleyKnot a cover
for Gabby Logan

There was a mention for this site in a national paper...but they did not contact me.
Next time they may.

My favourite MN thread ever.
I am off to hunt down all other Gabby postings and giggle my way to Christmas.
Brilliantly surreal

WishItCouldBeShirleyEveryDay · 06/12/2010 11:42

Did I just get accused of being Gabby Logan?

GabbyLoggon · 06/12/2010 12:06

Mr meaner But the BBC post this morning is true and a bit surreal

Shirley..do you intend suing? If so, employ Michael Mansfield QC..a great guy but very expensive.

Is Luxury Logan paying enough tax to build
new Wing on Buck House?

glovesoflove · 06/12/2010 12:43

GabbyLoggon, do you do this on any other sites or is it just mumsnet? And how can I find you on Twitter?

ps I think Alex Jones is a shit presenter, she can only read the autocue with an inane grin on her face. Gaby Logan is much more professional and knows about her specialism. However, Alex looks more fun to have a G&T with.

GabbyLoggon · 09/12/2010 12:36

hi gloves aLL the One Showers read auto cue I suppose chris evans would bebesttalking off the cuff. He has donw it for years. The Twitter thing may soon become clear. Ihave hada lot of trouble on comps for the last 2 days.Has this effected you lt?
