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

[ooohsopink]

They are truly magnificent.

Lucy Worsely has the hair of a five year old. You're right.

HeyRoly I also loathe her and her brother. I have never liked him after that highly in appropriate article he wrote in the Times about taking his daughter to Antigua

I think she's clever, but my God, the 'jokes' on Only Connect are incredibly cringeworthy. Like Elspeth I have to fast-forward through the opening segment. They're so bad I'm assuming she doesn't write them herself, but then I wonder why she puts up with such terrible material...

I just googled Giles and found this article from his wife:

*When we met seven years ago, Giles was a bit wild: he drank too much, drove like a lunatic and often lost his temper.

But we could work on that. In my mind’s eye I saw myself doing up Giles and his house at the same time.*

I seldom have any view on a marriage between two well known people, but felt really happy for her and David Mitchell when they married. I do find her sense of humour with Only Connect refreshing, as people on quiz shows can be a bit stuffy and po-faced.

Oh god, and he finds it necessary to not only have 9 hours sleep a night, but also have a nap at lunchtime and if they're heading out to dinner he needs a nap in the evening before they go.

They have two small children! I'd kill him.

Being married to a pernickity writer (and also being an enthusiastic reader I guess), I understand GC's frustration with his sub-editors and think he had a point in that letter. Probably could have had a quiet word rather than a letter published in the guardian, but hey ho!

It's worth having a listen to her interview on Richard Herring's Leicester Square Theatre Podcast.
She talks about gambling and writing porn!!

Surprised no one has mentioned Suzannah Lipscomb (who I vaguely recall is mates with Lucy Worsley).

(goes dreamy)

I like her - but I liked her dad better!

Agreed Auld but he was a comic genius!

Not conventionally pretty? She's a big titted blonde, it's hardly Janet street porter being a sex symbol

I didn't know VCM was the Trollop!

As PP have said - have giant norks anyway and only envy little ones.

I've got the same figure as her and i hate it. Big titted blonde. It's all anyone sees.

TBf to her if a married man is knocking around with a single younger girl he should take the bulk of the blame not her

I suppose by not conventionally pretty I meant she's not made up to the eyeballs and doesn't go for the fake/plastic look that many celebrities adopt these days. Also she may be blonde and booby but she's not stunning, however her looks combined with her personality make her very attractive imo.
