To think George Alagiah

[StarbucksSmarterSister]

Has a fabulous fireplace?

I'm spending most of the time when the self isolated/WFH talking heads come on tv, actually checking out the rooms they're in rather than listening to what they're saying.

Am I alone in this?

Very glad George seems ok, by the way.

I do enjoy seeing people’s houses at any time! My colleagues have been putting up fun pictures, plants and stuff!

I was thinking how good he looks!

I thought how nice that room was, not just the fireplace. I might be biased as the red is the same colour as our snug! I found that interview really reassuring. Go George!

I thought the same! It's beautiful.

Also have been enjoying the team video calls and having a nosy.

They think my bedroom is very sparse and entirely not what they would have predicted.

We're enjoying nagging our colleague about decorating his house, we think his girlfriend appreciates our input.

It's gorgeous, his whole living room was lovely.

This is one aspect of this lockdown that I am enjoying - nosing in to people's houses!

I like looking at interesting art on people’s walls!

He also has a brilliant dhal recipe.

Is it really his room or is it a CGI background?

Yes, lovely home.
And very happy to see he is ok.

Not George Alagiah, but DH was surprised that another BBC reporter was wearing a shirt and tie when reporting from his own home. Not everyone works from home in their pyjamas DH!

Haha yes I've enjoyed snooping at MPs and presenters homes too

I've just said this on another thread, Simon Calder was sitting in front of a massive pile of ironing
George's living room is lovely

Love George - my favourite newsreader - very relieved he is ok.

I also keep watching their houses.

The one I loved the most was Edwina Curries.

I was really pleased to watch GA.

I get he was maybe lucky and stats are against people in his category but with 2 parents both having chemo atm it was reassuring it wasn't a garunteed death sentence to get CV-19

I sit with my back to a nice wall - nice wall lamp, plants and pictures in view...

DH however chooses to sit with piles of laundry, broken lampshade (can’t get anyone in to replace it) and a huge crack down the wall in the background.

I rather liked his clock!

I love Him, and Hugh Edwards.

Didn’t see it. Love George though, so glad he’s well now.

He is such a legend, I love him!

Do you think that they have a massive tidy-up and select the 'right' books to have on the shelves behind them?

I thought this was going to be something about how attractive he is (oh, he really, really is!)

But his fireplace is lovely too! Although I was more caught by the print behind him. TBH I thought it looked a lovely room altogether.

Exactly what we said! What a lovely man

@WhereYouLeftIt, he really is, isn’t he? If the menopause hadn’t stolen my libido, I would!

Very nice room indeed. I’ve worked with him a little and he’s genuinely one of the nicest guys. I don’t think I’ve ever heard someone badmouth him.
