to quite like Kay burley

[Lauranda]

Her reporting is very watchable and she is the longest running news anchor in the UK and these days its rare to see a woman on TV past her 40s.

Yabvu.

She is a cunt, and i have no time for cunts.

Haha! Just googled her interview with Peter Andre. Poor Peter!!

Whatever you do, don't read her book - can't remember the title but can remember that it was utter tripe. Luckily it was from the library so no money wasted, just the time it took me to read a couple of chapters!

Nobody can be worse than dear old Jackie Bird surely?!

She's bloody horrible.

plus she looks the spit of someone in RL I really dislike because she's an arsehole too.

I like Martin Brunt. He was the hunk of Fleet Street back in the day

I'll take your word for it.

He looks so downtrodden these days he always makes me think of this

he's not aged brilliantly but he was gorgeous in his 20s, everyone fancied him.

Jackie Bird isn't a bitter old meanie though, she just wears some startling frocks.

I remember the April Jones thing, she was practically wetting herself with glee to be the first to tell the family member they were now searching for her body

Aww bless, the OP must be KB unsuccessfully trying to boost her own popularity. Big fail. She is bloody awful.

"the entire eastern seaboard of the United States has been decimated by a terrorist attack. "

She will never live that down.

Just watched that interview with PA ! She is a nasty piece of work he definitely went mental when they were off air ! I would have been how horrible !

What's the terrorist attack one nancy ?

olaflikes - that was when the planes went into the twin towers on 911. Admittedly the details were sketchy but she greeted viewers by saying: 'if you are just joining us then the entire eastern seaboard of the US has been decimated.'

in effect that would have meant about nine states having being wiped out! silly cow

Oh she is ridiculous! I have had a couple of weeks off work and I notice that they now put her 'on' in the afternoon slot that not many watch.

I always feel sorry for her when she is doing an interview, I'm embarrassed for her. She has this weird smirk whilst she cones out with impossibly stupid questions that she thinks is tearing her subject apart, a real gritting grilling when in reality the interviewee is usually doing all they can to not laugh!

I may watch her now for kicks!

She is obnoxious, I switch off when she appears, it's not often I have an opinion about a newsreader but I really dislike her, she comes across as so smug, insincere and arrogant. I imagine she would sell her soul to the highest bidder. She is very lucky to be in the position she is in, for someone so talentless and appears to have no likeable qualities.

It's true that you can switch off and easily pick up her best bits on YouTube, but I quite like watching the immediacy of her idiocy.

There was a good one where the US correspondent was commenting on a speech by Joe Biden on something trivial like the US economy and Kay asked the burning question on everyone's lips: 'What's that big bruise on his forehead?'

The correspondent went quiet for a moment and then said he'd find out.

It was a smear of ash because it was Ash Wednesday and Biden is a practising Catholic.

I'd love to know whether the reporter knew (likely) but didn't want to embarrass Burley live on air (why not?).

Sorry OP, I didn't notice you'd linked to the same Malaysian clip as me.

Are you an ironic Burley-watcher or do you have a genuine admiration for her work?

If you are a true fan, that's fine, as long as you have a Burley shrine in your bedroom like in that Alan Partridge episode with the security man from the travel lodge and lure her round.

YABU. She's a dickhead.

She's a joke, she's interviewing now re: the manhunt for the escaped prisoner, by the time she's finished she'll have the fugitive sighted at the poor guys granny's house!

jeggings I watched the same thing. I had high hopes for that interview - man on the lam from an open prison, extreme violence, gruesome nickname, namby-pamby prison reformer being grilled - but she didn't really go for it.

Damn. I'll have to get back to work now with one ear cocked.

limited

I'm literally glued to her slot on the news right now! This thread is bad for my health.

I thought I was the only one who quite liked Martin Brunt! glad to see others like him too. didn't know hed been around years, hes quite dishy as he is now!

yy to Kays blatant flirting with Jon Desborough, they have the sports report in the sportscentre now, not next to the newsreaders anymore. wonder if that's because of her flirting?

theres a sports reporter called Arron Armstrong that reminds me of Michael Crawford!

whats happened to the dotty but brilliant Peter Spencer? haven't seen him for ages.

BTW cant stand the Burley either.

BTW- LOVE a good sky news thread! thanks for starting it OP.

Charlottes left now hasn't she? on that crap ITV brekky show now?

Peter Spencer retired a few years ago MakeMineAMartina I miss him so much.

YABVVU. 'Reporting very watchable' my arse.
