To find Fiona Bruce intensely annoying as a newsreader?

[YouStayClassySanDiego]

I mean really, her head bobs around, ducking left and right with the odd shoulder dip thrown in. I spend time analysing her and forget what she's saying.

Fucking hell Fiona, rein it in, it's ANNOYING.

Less is more, and all that.

I do like Huw the best.

And breathe.

Yeah I would guess she's a good egg in real life and says 'fuck off Huw, you read that like a right twat' when she's watching the news. Is she a wine or gin woman?

I snigger imagining that, ha!

YY, Fiona is what I call a "Judgemental Newsreader" - you can almost hear her tutting sometimes at some of the things she reads out.

DH and I also enjoy rating Catriona Shearer's clothing (Scottish Newsreader) and always guess where she is going after she has read the news. Sometimes she looks so inappropriately clubby! Think she has got marginally better since she grew her hair longer, her clothes are not quite so out there - just almost. She is quite wide of boobage and often wears things that are really unflattering. I bet she is a right laugh though! The other night she had a dress on and DH and I had a long debate about whether she was pregnant or not, and I googled her. She got married recently, don't think she is expecting though.

Catriona Shearer wears some interesting things and has that island temptress accent but Jackie Bird's clothes can sometimes be eye popping!

I bet Cathy Newman is a good laugh!

Is Cathy Newman Midlands?

The name rings a bell.

Scottish TV presenters are clearly all out clubbing after the show. Cheery Catriona is the most clubby Squoosh "Island temptress accent" is so funny! My DH has always been impressed with her...

Clive Myrie is my favourite, glad to see others have noticed him too. FB is irritating, no doubt about it.

Missed out the full stop before Squoosh there.

I like George aligayah (is that how you spell it) and his wife was on here once (allegedly) and she said he wore m and s underwear so there you go!!

I should say I really do like Catriona Shearer, in case her granny googles her!

My DH does a rather good Fiona impression, we quite like her.

squooshie you should be on the drunk thread

I'm not drunk!

ohhh!!!!

shame

For newsreaders though, Charlotte Green on radio 4 was the best. She's got a kind of non irritating authority that just works perfectly.

Scotland seem to have some very interesting characters on their tv, I'm a bit

yes but they can't have the pound!!

John McKay from STV has kids in their 20's! I thought he was about 35.

Charlotte Green does the football scores on r5live, such a silky voice.

I love listening to her.

Teacakeeater I suspect Catriona Shearer has quite a few male admirers

Hate Fiona Bruce . Such a smug irritating woman. A few years ago she fronted an investigative programme for the BBC where she interviewed an itu consultant about death certificates. They edited the interview so that the answers and questions didn't match. It made him appear very evasive and shifty. Wrecked the reputation of an amazing doctor.
I was amazed at her lack of integrity.

"I can't stand that overly-smiley/bubbly weather woman on BBC breakfast either. "

Oh god yes - Carol something - the worse the weather, the more she cackles and gurns and flirts with "Billy".

The occasional token efforts she makes to look momentarily serious just draw more attention to her inappropriate mania.

Puts me right of my porridge.

I like her - and Carol the weather woman.

After the horrors of Natasha 'Spangles' Kaplinsky I'm clearly immune to other annoyances (except Fiona Phillips - she simpers) because I luffs Fiona Bruce even with her possessed eyebrows
