‘I’m mad me’ sign in her house somewhere.

She’s so desperate to be crazy!

That's not very nice!

Thedogscollar · 11/09/2023 13:56

Never heard of her.

Fernticket · 11/09/2023 13:58

Why do you think she is desperate to be crazy?

Thedogscollar · 11/09/2023 14:00

Oh that Kate.
Didn't know her surname.
Yes of course YABU she comes across as lovely and down to earth. What makes you think she's mad/crazy.
You sound nasty there you go not nice to be judged by a stranger is it.

I really like her. I sometimes listen to her on radio 2 on my Sunday dog walks. And she struck just the right note between game and professional on her Uncanny appearances. She’s the kind of vicar I could just about tolerate in my life.

In what way is she desperate to be crazy? Is there some sort of scale to measure against?

FWIW I'm not keen on her radio show, but have liked her well enough on TV stuff I've seen her do. She seems very sane to me. And likeable.

Seems like a good egg to me.

CaptainMyCaptain · 11/09/2023 14:15

I like her.

blobby10 · 11/09/2023 14:26

I like her but sometimes in the interviews on her Sunday morning slot, she talks over the interviewee and it gets really irritating! She sometimes seems to have a 'zany personality' head on and 'oh aren't I crazy and funny'!! However her co-presenter Jason is similar so maybe they rub off on each other Grin

Why do you think she is desperate to be crazy?

Well she came to prominence by organising a flash mob dance at a wedding she did and then released it virally.

She was on ‘loose women’ today with the moniker ‘I’m not your usual vicar’

She’s forever trying to say shocking things for a vicar with headlines like ‘I was a hooker before I was a vicar’ (rugby)

I’m not doubting she’s a thoroughly nice person, just the desperate zaniness gets to me. Like the teacher who wants to be cool trope.

I’m working on one as part of my thesis. Will let you know when it’s finished

I think that’s a bit catty! She seems harmless enough

NCyousee · 11/09/2023 16:12

I thought she came to prominence on Gogglebox?

I cant stand her, she is very annoying and I agree OP, the 'what am I like' stuff is grating

Spinningcats · 11/09/2023 16:13

Whilst planning our wedding we knew we wanted something a bit different. Upholding tradition but with a modern twist. So when our incredibly accommodating and inspiring Vicar, Reverend Kate Bottley of St Mary and St Martin's, Blyth, suggested a 'flash mob', we were sold!
