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)

Happy Christmas Gabby Smile

AngelZigzagsSparklyYuletideLog · 12/12/2010 18:03

Sausage in batter not as good as a spam fritter.

One of my old lecturers had a term for this verbal diarrhoea 'Stream of Consciousness'. Gabby, stop, think, THEN post.

Not post, stop, and then not think at all!!!!!

sixpercenttruejedi · 13/12/2010 18:19

ssshhh, don't discourage him. He's practicing and doing really well. Remember, he's only at the beta stage at the moment.

tethersjinglebellend · 13/12/2010 19:38

Don't stop to think, Gabby- don't spoil the Loggon magic!
