..to be impressed by Victoria Coren- Mitchell's norks?

[ooohsopink]

They are truly magnificent.

OMG, VCM has been my fantasy host of a dinner party for years. This thread only makes me want that invite even more.

I love her but I wish she'd chop six inches off her hair.

Monty I don't know what that means

Err not quite getting this thread. Seriously?

Hey! Who needs the patriarchy or sexist men, when we have Mumsnet women to do their job?
Imagine the fuss over a male equivalent forum thread,dedicated to loving a female media presenter' "Norks". (Or breasts,as grown ups refer to them normally).

I've seen precisely this discussion on other forums with more male participants, and no-one gave a stuff. Because we're all grown-ups and can accept appreciation of another person without getting all wound up about it.

Surely the male equivalent would be a male forum complimenting Giles on his pecs and his column?

Teehee. His 'column'.

at GC's column.

And so you should Gwen.

I do find her a bit smug and also find the norks a bit of distraction.

I mostly hear her on the radio so I don't get to see her. I think she would be less than impressed to hear you evaluating her breasts, as I get the impression she's a pretty hardcore feminist.

Saying that I solely watched strictly before one of the dancers is rather well endowed. There's an element of disappointment if they cover his trouser bulge.

"She's perfectly normal middle class from Cricklewood, so there's no reason to dislike her for being a 'toff'."

Tatiana - not ordinary at all:

"Victoria Elizabeth Coren (...) daughter of the humorist and journalist Alan Coren (...) Her brother is the journalist Giles Coren.[4] She attended girls' independent schools between the ages of five and 18[5] and read English at St John's College, Oxford,[6] graduating with a first-class degree."

Daughter, sister and wife of a famous person, one of the small percentage of people who attended a private school from a very young age and then Oxford. Not your average Jane Bloggs.

VCM is also a poker player.

Can Lucy Worsely come too? Lucy looks great dressed as a "Regency Young Buck Gentleman", the clothes really suit her.

Are feminists not allowed to have thoughts about their own or other women's breasts? Are we supposed to pretend they don't exist?

Is that because men don't have them?

"Are feminists not allowed to have thoughts about their own or other women's breasts?shock Are we supposed to pretend they don't exist?"

Quite. I'm a feminist, not blind.

Never mind that. What about her arse?

I think she's awful. Remember that affair she had with a married man?

I'll never forget the wife describing her as looking like an Eccles cake that had sat in a shop window too long.

I would happily have a bounce around on Victoria. She is amazing.

Lucy Worsely has the hair of a five year old.

Can't say I've noticed them will look next time I see her on TV but I do think she's fab along with Sue Perkins and Claudia - love seeing intelligent, attractive (but not conventionally) women doing well and wish there were more in the public eye.

I love her! I have never noticed her norks as I mostly listen to her on the radio, apart from HIGNFY. She's so dry, which is right up my street.

I am off to Google her norks.

Alan Coren was wonderful and I still miss him on The News Quiz. Best contestant they ever had. He was a very successful journalist and broadcaster, but he rose from humble origins. His dad was a plumber and his mum was a hairdresser. So VCM doesn't come from a posh background for generations back.

I have little time for Giles Coren but I do like Victoria. I was delighted when she got together with David Mitchell. I hope they're very happy together. Their daughter is called Barbara.

I love her. Only Connect is the only thing I watch on live TV. I had my doubts about Giles but met him briefly once and he was very sweet. His wife Esther Walker does (did?) a very funny and honest cooking blog that I used to follow.
