When asked in the future 'Where were you when you heard Margaret Thatcher had died' she will have to say 'defending Mumsnet on Radio 2 due to some furore regarding Amanda Holden and a year old thread'.

Sad

For a published journalist and social commentator CO was seriously crap, wasn't she.
And I'm not just saying that because I disagreed with her, I just thought she'd have come a lot better prepared.
She brought nothing to the discussion.

Jamie

Ah ha! Apols.

Funny how Odone is allowed to get all angry about abortion and shit.

She was the same on Question Time

Unlike Zoe Williams

I have aslight girl crush

ExcuseTypos · 10/04/2013 20:01

Justine was brill.

CO seemed very, very angry Hmm

Jane Garvey is awesome.

Surely radio iplayer is available anywhere? Last time I looked it was only if you went onto a tv page that the 'content not available in your area' came up? (Wd check but would get distracted and it would be fatal...)

IamtheZombie · 10/04/2013 20:15

Zombie thinks desertgirl may be right. This is from the BBC iPlayer Help section.

TiaMariaandSpringCleaning · 10/04/2013 20:16

What a narrow minded and generalised view from Christine. All women on mn label themselves as 'mother'. There are two types of women on mn, both of them are angry.
Hmm, I have no dcs and am not angry, nor have I ever posted an angry or hostile comment on here.

Granted there are some angry posts, but mn never ceases to amuse me, touch my heart and reassure me that there are some truly wonderful people out there. It's a real strength that mn supports healthy debate and a shame Christine chooses to label so many women in this negative way. Well done Justine for rising above it!

Rosesforrosie · 10/04/2013 22:54

It was her timing, straight after being told how many MILLION MNErs there are, she said yes, but there are two types.

That's just patently not true is it Christine.... Hmm

I'm liking ept Grin
Would it work better as 'ept?
Except that could be (in)ept too
...
Never mind

Lueji · 10/04/2013 23:52

I can confirm that BBC Radio, live and past programmes, is available outside the UK. :)

ppeatfruit · 11/04/2013 09:32

Yes so can I LuejiSmile

JamieandtheMagicTorch · 11/04/2013 10:14

Tom

yes "ept" is a word on its own (I just made it up)

Alwaysreadingonthetrain · 11/04/2013 11:21

Amanda Holden will be a guest on the Graham Norton show on BBC1 tomorrow. I wonder if she'll be asked about this.

Sparklingbrook · 11/04/2013 11:25

Bet Graham Norton is a Mumsnetter. Grin
