Lady broadcasters Short biography

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)

Oh Little Town of Shirley
I guess your hair is curly
with very long lashes
And two little moustaches.

I see we have done over 200 on this.

I wasn't sneering, I was almost defending you whilst gently taking the piss.
Your cryptic stream of conciousness posts are actually starting to grow on me.

You mean 5-Live slot,soup?

I thought Gabby was staying till spring when the other broacasters move to Salford

Gaby is doing a lot on TV just now; and my guess will be she ends up with a regular programme.

she has had a very varied career...skye, ITV,BBC radio and TV...

I wish that I and GabbyLoggon
Could slide down a mountain
On a toboggan
The wind would rush through my moustache
Gabby might get an unsightly rash

I have really enjoyed most of those 200 posts.

The real Gabby that is

FellatioNelson · 14/12/2010 17:07

Confused What is this all for?

OhLittleTownOfShirley · 14/12/2010 17:53

What are YOU for FN? hmmmmm? Is it something to do with carrots?

I heard that a carrot overdose can make your skin turn orange.

Peter Andre overdosed on bananas once. True story

Sorry, I was referring to the randomness of the biographies - I see the thread has moved on!

randomness of biogs. They are generally serious female broadcasters Radio 4 heard of it. ALL famous people have to watch their backs its a law of nature. they hide behnd big walls.I too am famous. Gabby LUX Logan knows the score .Some of you lot seem disneyesque. You dont even like writing. Let the =Queen of Kew look after herself. Lux is good at that. She pushes her talent rather far... One, two, three pelvic thrust....Logan swears by exercise.cheers and cheer up

OK, I've realised this thread was started in August Shock and I've read it all now. It's been interesting. And a little bit scary.

Bye.

Shirley, surely you have saved the day.

I someone was into planets. We could have URANUS as a nickname.

Or a musician who liked women could have
NIPPLEODIAN

its infectious, I must go and change my trousers

FellatioNelson · 15/12/2010 15:25

Oh, I geddit now. Not familiar with the rhyming slang for sexual practises as a general rule.

Gabby you really an extremely odd person. I think in RL you might be someone I wouldn't want to be stuck at a bus stop with. In the dark. On my own.

Odd is fellatio. Fellatio, you scare more easily than Gabby Logan does

OP posts:
FellatioNelson · 16/12/2010 13:05

Yes I imagine you would find it odd. As in rare - unless you pay.

JustinCaseyHowls · 16/12/2010 13:20

The op is a man, who does not write very clearly, which leads me to question his own account of his writing career, who has an obsession, and not in a nice way, with Gabby Logan? And occasionally slightly obscene.

I think that the published comments might refer to writing a comment at the end of an online article. There was a poster on the Telegrah, called Ignokigon Jack, or something similar. He used to write realms and realms with no paragraphs, as if he worked on the paper. When he discovered para breaks, he became a lot less entertaining.

Does the real Gabby know about this?

GabbyLoggon · 16/12/2010 13:29

The real Gabby is bright and rumbled it in 5 minutes She does not scare easily as her career proves. Fame is a 2 edged sword. (I have had some.) The tabloids are the biggest threat. Dont put your son or daughter on the stage, Howls.

Advice: LEAVE FAME TO THOSE WHO REALLY NEED IT (and stop insuting me, chuck)
