There was a recent thread on men we (lusted after) thought were quite nice and spoke well.

Taking an opposite tack I wonder which women GN’s dislike? Recent threads have mentioned Susan Calman, Tess Daly and the ever-unpopular Amanda Holden.

For some reason I can’t fathom I’m not keen on Nikki Chapman and Julia Bradbury should just keep on walking, as far as I’m concerned. ?

Favourite man has to be Gardeners World - Monty Don! A really lovely man!

I really like Claudia Winkleman. Love her hair and she makes me smile.

Lovely quirky lady

Marydoll Sat 24-Oct-20 18:20:45

Naga Munchetty. I don't know why, but she really irritates me.

She’s clever too

Lucy Worsley, Stacey Dooley, Angela Rippon, weather presenters in BBC Look East. Naga Munchetty,

Agree Naga Munchetty is very irritating.
Just checked and yes Helen Worth plays Gail from Corrie. Poor woman has lost her chin somewhere.

What a thoroughly dreadful thread - women pulling apart other women. Don't women in the public eye have a bad enough time on social media being abused by anonymous posters?. I never thought I would find that on GN apart from the usual target of course Meghan Markle which is equally objectionable!

LauraNorder Sat 24-Oct-20 18:38:07

Just remembered the one who irritates me most in all of tv land is Fiona Bruce on Question Time. I hate the way she gives her point of view and ends the sentence by bending forward and dropping her voice to a hum.

If it were women pulling apart men Would that be ok ?

BlueSky Sat 24-Oct-20 18:40:57

I like Joanna Lumley, especially her voice.

BlueBelle Sat 24-Oct-20 18:50:37

I like Naga Munchetti I think she’s very pretty
Can’t stand Piers Morgan and his arrogance
Oh come on magsymoo it’s nothing bad, just lighthearted likes and dislikes, doesn’t it happen in all walks of life if I was walking off with their money I wouldn’t care what was said about me ? For every person not liked there will be a counter person liking them
Are the Bailey family the fairly new black family in Corrie If so yes they are awful actors Gail has been in there so long and never improved ?

Beauregard Sat 24-Oct-20 18:54:31

Callistemon You're right, he is male. Along with many other posters I chose to mention a man rather than a woman.

Lucca Sat 24-Oct-20 19:00:47

Ok poor OP, shall we just change the thread title to “people who get on my pips”
Seriously there are some right holier than thous on tonight. Must be the weather.

Women pulling women apart, seriously? All anyone has said is, "I don't like so & so." When you work in the public eye you have to expect the brickbats. What anyone has posted is not my definition of pulling apart. But then, I am no prissy female, so what would I know?

EllanVannin Sat 24-Oct-20 19:12:03

My brother speaks like Jeremy Clarkson, Oopsminty. Sounds just like him on the phone.

BlueBelle Sat 24-Oct-20 19:29:00

Oh an add on i don’t like the very smutty David Wallams He really makes my skin crawl and the other very popular chap who I don’t like at all is Robbie Williams, my daughter in law adores him Takes all sorts eh

bluebirdwsm Sat 24-Oct-20 19:29:08

I can't watch Holly Willoughby and really dislike Jo Brand and especially Kaye Adams. I have to switch off.

Really don't like Stephen Fry...if you like him maybe you haven't heard his disgusting language as I have. Likewise Noel Fielding.

Many celebrities [self important, attention seeking] are annoying. To balance things there are many I do like ad have respect for....to many to mention here.

Rylan Clarke whatever his other name is If his hair gets any blacker and his teeth any whiter that’s all you ll see in the dark

That made me laugh. grin I saw him on the tele the other night and I thought the same thing.

Can we have a politician? If so, I can't stand Jess Phillips. I'm not a violent person. honest, but I could give her a smack. She always seems smug to me.

lemongrove Sat 24-Oct-20 19:35:40

Sharon ?

Although if we can have politicians there will be many!

Oopsminty Sat 24-Oct-20 19:36:03

I love Stephen Fry, disgusting language or not

Namsnanny Sat 24-Oct-20 19:38:16

Lucca ... I'm glad you said that about the Bailey family.

Kircubbin2000 ... How can you dislike lovely Mary Beard?

merlotgran Sat 24-Oct-20 19:41:55

apart from the usual target of course Meghan Markle

Thanks for reminding me. grin

Ha Ha! How right you are. grin

DiscoDancer1975 Sat 24-Oct-20 20:01:31

Ok, so, Stacey Dooley, or doolally as my husband calls her. The woman on the ‘ one show’, her voice comes from a face you want to slap! Nicola sturgeon, wasn’t she one of the Krankies? Oh, and Laura Kuenssberg.

Lucca Sat 24-Oct-20 20:12:47

Sorry but I really get bored with nicola sturgeon/krankies jibe.
