Oh i so need to let it out! And so i will -

Simpering, disingenuous, 'i love me', hair flicking, face pulling, incincere, trollopy ........ COW!

Ruins my Friday mornings. Why has she been on seemingly every bloody morning this week again?

"Bugger off Susanna Reid"!

Thats it. I feel slightly better. Thank you.

Susannah is no Sian, but she's OK.

Bloody Charlie Stayt and that weird little sports guy Mike, on the other hand...!

Hoebag · 31/03/2012 11:25

I dont get the hype about her , I dont dislike her.

but I dont think shes overly attractive just alright.

Hoebag · 31/03/2012 11:27

Who's that older bloke who always looks a bit toffy and as if hes struggling to keep a Straight face...I like him.

BelleDameSansMerci · 31/03/2012 11:27

Hazey - me too! I'm nothing like as attractive as she is. I'll take the compliment though! Grin

MustControlFistOfDeath · 31/03/2012 11:43

I used to dislike Susanna but she's grown on me over the years. Cannot abide that Sunday morning show she did though, I was Blush for her.

I like Beekeeper Bill. Charlie is not as good, oh no.

Not a fan of Carol, and used to detest the shift dress/bolero combination she was so fond of. Fortunately she seems to have moved on from that. I do wish she would desist from calling Bill ''Billy'' though, the shame.

I seem to be in the minority in liking Louise Minchin Confused

Now, I do like Naga Munchetty, I can see her migrating from the weekend slot onto the sofa with Bill in the near future.

Don't talk about the Saturday sports presenter. Irritating beyond belief.

I used to like Simon the business presenter (and Declan before him - where is he now?). Steph is growing on me.

Any news on a return for Kate Silverton?

Have I missed anyone out??

NowThenWreck · 31/03/2012 13:26

YABU. I like Susannah Reid.

I remember once they had a piece showing the original Page 3 girls,in a (clothed)photo and there was a real slimy man being insulting about how they had all aged and were no longer fit.
Susannah said "well I think they all look amazing".
Slimy man then went on to say something about how all women have a beauty routine, whereupon SR gave him a brilliant withering stare and snapped "I can barely be bothered to take my make-up off at night"

Awesome. And I so would, even though I am a straight woman.

startail · 31/03/2012 14:25

mistyo's OH
"up himself"Grin
yep that describes Charlie Stayt perfectly.

I can't include Sian as my OH fancies her.

startail · 31/03/2012 14:26

I can cope with Bill and Carol both suitably silly. I hate getting up so silly is just fine.

LadyWord · 31/03/2012 14:35

I actually like Charlie and susanna on together because of the simmering sexual tension/hate-fest between them. according to me and dp - Charlie looks down on susanna and thinks she's a bit of an airhead. She knows this and it drives her mad, and she can't stand him - yet BOTH of them so would!

I love steph the northerner. But yes to Simon jack too - he was fab. Also like Carol the weather, and naga.

Clare balding yes she doesn't fit the mould, but she's on jolly hockey sticks and rambling, rather than flagship news.

fionabruise · 31/03/2012 14:37

Gosh I'm so glad you brought this up OP.

OMGOODNESS I cannot abide her patronising sing-song-slowing..... down.......... til....... she............ almost stops...............-then speeding up again as if she can suddenly be bothered to start speaking again-intonation.

Quite frankly she sounds like she is reading a story to a 3 month old pre-verbal baby.

The business/financial woman Steph is really growing on me. She's very good and non-patronising when she interviews people and is really bright.

I thought ram-rod Sian was excellent too.

Haha whoever said that the man was like an area manager was spot on!!

fionabruise · 31/03/2012 14:38

oh and I totally loathe my-fiona-bruce self.

FriskyMare · 31/03/2012 14:39

Did anyone see the news this morning? Naga reported on a very sad murder in Porthmadog, Naga pronounced it Porth-ma-dog. When the news looped around again, just as they cut from the previous news item, Nicholas Owen was saying Port-ma-dock which Naga repeated, then did her item again. Sad news item but Blush for them.
We like Louise Minchinin our house:o

fionabruise · 31/03/2012 14:40

OMG just looked at louiseminchin.com's website ---yes what on earth is that?!! how totally embarrassingly smug

ManMinder · 31/03/2012 14:52

Just stick with Jim Naughtie.

EnjoyResponsibly · 31/03/2012 14:54

When is Kate Silverton due back from mat leave. She's the best of the bunch now Sians gone.

pollypoison · 03/07/2012 07:47

I know I'm late getting here...but Sussanah Reid was just so bloody irritating this morning I need to vent! even worse than usual I thought

Clytaemnestra · 03/07/2012 07:51

I love her. Unfortunately I'm stuck watching Noddy instead.

Slobby · 03/07/2012 08:16

Stephanie Flanders is a puppet for the PPE driven politics/central banking industry. She has no clue about real world economics, and is part of the problem. But she sometimes wears nice shoes.

BreconBeBuggered · 03/07/2012 08:19

Never mind. Horrible Histories on CBBC in a couple of minutes.
I always like SR's dresses.

bigTillyMint · 03/07/2012 08:19

At least she is a normal size and doesn't contort herself to look even thinner like Sian did

I like the plain-speaking finance lady. And DS likes Carole the weather lady. He is 11Shock

melika · 03/07/2012 08:27

I like her, very polished and professional, would rather watch her than Ferne Cotton. What does it for me is, she has 3 boys. Enough said. I know what pain she goes through.

melika · 03/07/2012 08:28

BTW Kate Silverton is nice too and she has been back a while!

JeezyPeeps · 03/07/2012 08:40

Charlie Stayt is not as clever as he thinks.

He was interviewing someone over the telephone and asked 'the riverside caravan park, is it right next to the river'.

Then he said the floods were very high, maybe even above ground level.

Ya think?

AnnaMosity · 03/07/2012 08:41

She's ever so purdy. But agree. Simpers
