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. ?

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

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!

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?

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.

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

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 ?

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

I like Joanna Lumley, especially her voice.

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

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.

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

Gingster Sat 24-Oct-20 18:29:58

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

Oopsminty

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

Lovely quirky lady

She’s clever too

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

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

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

Oopsminty Sat 24-Oct-20 18:15:30

I like Jeremy Clarkson actually

sparklingsilver28 Sat 24-Oct-20 18:12:25

Really like Angela Rippon - always beautifully turned out and interesting; Jo Coburn - Politics Live - pleasant voice and good commentary.

Not so favourite has to be: Claudia Winkleman her hair and clothes really put me off. She is a slight figure and could look really stunning so why that wretched fringe and awful outfits. Needs helpful advice badly.

Lucca Sat 24-Oct-20 18:10:33

Off at a tangent a bit but somebody mentioned Helen Worth ? If that’s Gail on coronation st she is a really bad actress, in fact what a lot of bad acting there is on Coronation street at the moment in particular the entire Bailey family

Lucca Sat 24-Oct-20 18:08:18

No idea of her name but the voice over woman in Dinner Date.
I find however that mostly I’m just staggered at the number of women on tv who have had “work done”.....

BlueBelle Sat 24-Oct-20 18:05:08

I like Nadia but Charlie Dimmock grates
We are saying ones we like as well oopsminty and I ve added men to my list ??? just to be fair
I don’t dislike him but Gok Wan is a fair bit irritating as is 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
and the Essex accent is a bit draining

Purplepixie Sat 24-Oct-20 18:04:00

Yes, lots of irony here, as usual!!! ?

Purplepixie Sat 24-Oct-20 18:02:48

Vanessa Feltz, Elaine Paige, Rula Lenska, Jo Whiley, Kim Woodburn, Denise Welch and Celine Dion. That's all I can think of for now.

LauraNorder Sat 24-Oct-20 17:59:30

I like Judi Dench, Jennifer Saunders. Nigella Lawson, Mariella Frostrup, Kirsty Waugh. Not keen on Tess Daly, Kate Garraway and the dark haired one that I believe partners the obnoxious Piers Morgan in the morning, thank goodness I sleep late. I like Sean Fletcher, Paul O’Grady and Huw Edwards .
Can’t bear the bluddy meerkats.
There I think I’ve been fair to like and dislike both sexes.
Anyone else notice the irony of posters who say this light and humorous thread is thoroughly unpleasant making it so?

Glorybee Sat 24-Oct-20 17:54:42

Merlotgran I quite like Nadia Hussain but I’ve seen some of her cookery programs recently and am not too keen on her presentation at times.

I really don’t like Alan Titchmarsh.

crazyH Sat 24-Oct-20 17:52:45

I'm with you Merlotgran ...
