To find Naga Munchetty ridiculously irritating

69 replies

GiveHerHellFromUs · 28/11/2019 07:28

Every single time I turn on BBC Breakfast she says something that makes me say "shut up you idiot" out loud.

Today:
They're talking about reusable bags/bags for life and increasing the price of them.

They're interviewing a lady from Greenpeace and Naga's argument is "well it would make things easier if they just put signs up saying 'don't forget your bags' at the supermarket."
Every supermarket I've been to in the last 2 years has these signs.

I know it's a really minor one today but I find her incredible irritating and I've been up with the baby since 4am after she woke at 11pm, 2:30am and 3:30am even though she normally sleeps all the way through so I'm extra tetchy Grin

I really like Naga and Dan.
Naga is clever and sharp as a tack doesn’t let guests get away with any bs.
Dan seems like a really good person, don’t know where that comes from, but he just does.

I also find her really annoying, as well as that her co presenter whatever his name is. They have no charisma or chemistry.
Also find Victoria Derbyshire really annoying these days, I think she comes across as rude.

It is supposed to be a news programme not the mornings One Show. Get on with the news and stop the chatty ego bollocks.

@TitusOatesLivesNextDoor

I wondered when someone would pull the racist card.

The OP finds Naga irritating for reasons nothing to do with her race - and has explained those reasons clearly.

Funkyslippers · 28/11/2019 08:59

Piglet totally agree, I'm sure the colour of her skin has nothing to do with finding her irritating!!

HairyFloppins · 28/11/2019 09:01

I can't stand her or Dan Walker. Both so smug.

MaryBerrysChutney · 28/11/2019 09:05

She IS really annoying! It is that smug face, I think!

Trewser · 28/11/2019 09:05

Surely it's more racist to blindly assume people find her irritating because of the colour of her skin?

GiveHerHellFromUs · 28/11/2019 09:09

I reported the comment about being racist. How bizarre that someone assumes that that's the case.

I love naga! Also love Louise and Charlie. Bill was my absolute fave! Can't stand Dan, how he got the job I do not know!

Love carol. Sally is irritating.

Good lord just turned over-That outfit is hideous!

GiveHerHellFromUs · 28/11/2019 09:17

@Mammyloveswine is Bill the one they spoke to a couple of weeks ago who had cancer? He's so lovely!

I posted earlier that I'm finding her irritating at the moment but on a positive note I usually love her clothes. Not today though!

I once tracked down a blouse she was wearing and bought it.

StreetwiseHercules · 28/11/2019 09:36

Naga and Sally are quite obnoxious. I do like Louise Minchin though.

GiveHerHellFromUs · 28/11/2019 09:46

@bohemia14 she does normally look fab. Maybe I also dislike her because she has a fantastic figure and my hips are about 3m wider since pregnancy Grin

I think it is telling that an intelligent woman who occasionaly speaks her mind is "irritating" and "waspish".

But it is irritating when she puts other presenters down and is condescending. Just because she says what she thinks doesn't make it a good thing, there is such a thing as a filter.

Clawdy · 28/11/2019 12:53

Team Naga here too, really like her. Louise and Dan are an irritating pair, silly giggles, and Dan trying to be funny all the time, even at inappropriate moments.

tillyandmilly · 14/12/2020 18:11

Personally can’t stand her! Don’t think her fellow presenters like her - very disappointed when she returned after leaving unexpectedly! Louise and Dan perfect team bounce off one another - that doesn’t happen with that naga or Charlie - feel sorry for Charlie having to site next to her !

SabrinaThwaite · 14/12/2020 18:15

And you’ve waited 2 years and resurrected a zombie thread to post this because ... ?

chomalungma · 14/12/2020 18:20

I think she's great.

Her name is very often trending on Twitter. Usually when she's held some politician to account and people don't like it. A lot of those people have interesting bios when you look at them. Usually very pro Brexit and all that comes with it.
