Evan Davies is so lovely I want him for a novelty keyring. And he is going to become a presenter of the Today Programme

[Threadworm]

This is good news, surely, especially if it means the horrible egotist John Humphries is retiring.

Evan Davies is clever, enthusiastic, and really cute!

i adore him, with his wonky eyes. he's like a lovely gonk.

Fraid we're stuck with Humphreys but at least his miserablism will be balanced by lovely sunny Evan. It's Sarah Montague I could do without - why is she so angry all the time?

Agree Evan is A Good Thing and glad to hear this. Sarah too plummy and seems to find everything amusing.

Oh.

I have snurked at Evan Davies in the past.

But now Threadworm has highlighted his novelty keyring possibilities.
And Aitch has pointed out his gonkiness........

Oh I hadn't noticed his wonky eyes. Still adore, him with his shiney-eyed love of economics. Agree Sarah M is also horrible. Love James Naughtie.

Half the time I want to throttle Humphries.

really? you love JN? i always think he's a lightweight and a dither.

mmm

must start watching the Today programme, Evan Davies speaks more sense than most...

SEXY!!!

I'm with you, Evan is a dish however - rather embarassingly I find Mr Humphreys rather attractive too .

oh he is lovely and so good at explaining complicated economics stuff that I can't usually understand I also can't stand Sarah M, thinks she's great, but like Humphries and Naughtie

oh thank god i thought i must be some kind of weirdo freak to fancy him

Not a weirdo freak - just barking up the wrong tree iykwim.

Love Evan too and know two people who have done work experience with him and they both adore him and say he's lovely.

Won't be able to listen to him though as cannot stand Today because of Humphreys shouting and harrumphing.

I listen to R5 where Nicky Campbell is actually really good and not as annoying as he is on Watchdog. And this is the clincher - he laughs at jokes made by women (specifically made by his co-host Shelagh). You all know how rare that is and how ability to laugh at jokes made by women is a key indicator of decentness in men.

If you are fancying Evan you are barking up the wrong tree.

Please don't make me repeat my very embarassing Evan Davies experience (in a nutshell - saw him in the street - thought he was one of DH's mates because they all look like that - had a conversation with him on that basis which culminated in me touching his arm and saying "we'll be in touch, ok?")

I'm also a 5-live in the morning girl - nothing like a bit of footie news to leaven complex international situations.

LOL at anchovy and at 'novelty keyring'

You know Paxman calls him 'Twinkletits' 'cos he's got pierced nipples.

Humphrys is a great big ball of idiocy IMO

Pierced nipples!

That's where I can attach the keys, then.

You do know that the beautiful Evan is ahem....gay don't you??

I sat next to Paxman at a swimming pool cafe once.

Did he ask you 32 times if he could borrow the sugar?

oh so i'm barking up the wrong tree - it's ok i doubt i'd ever really meet him
but knowing he eas pierced nipps makes me even more attracted . . .

My stance on sugar borrowing in swimming pool cafes is a matter of public record. It would be a distraction from the real issues if I were to answer that question, Jeremy.

and a pierced something else apparently

LOL at policywonk's spelling triumph.

Ooooh I love Evan Davies. I also like the economics editor from Newsnight - Stephanie Flanders - can't they put her on Today too? They would make a good team.

I hate to say it, but Humphrys should really be the patron of Pedants' Corner. He did write that exceptionally bad-tempered book about how misplaced apostrophes will kill us all and render our children infertile, or something.

Oh can't we just have Jane Garvey EVERYWHERE please
