I'm not as think as you drunk I am!

Well, I don’t find this thread anymore offensive than the political ones, when it seems to be ok to slag off Boris, Matt Hancock, Jeremy Corbin et al.

It obviously upsets some because it’s mostly women we are talking about, whereas if the politicians happen to glance at GN, then they won’t mind about being ‘bullied’ online, because they have thicker skins probably?

Kay Burley, Joanna Lumley, Meg Markle . Tess Daly.

I like Lucy Worsley and Giles and Mary on Gogglebox

I use wine in cooking too Teetime and ( as they say) even put it in the food sometimes.
When the recipe tells you to reduce the wine, it doesn't mean swig it from the bottle.

He’s reached the age when food is more interesting Merlot

Another one here for Lucy Worsley. She spoils some really interesting programmes. I do like Stacey Dooley. Despite her appearance she seems very sincere.

Not living in the UK I don't have the exposure to many of these people, though, so my opinion may be based on a limited amount of viewing.

Jennifer Saunders did a really good job on HIGNFY last week.

I read somewhere that Prince Philip, who is now back at the RF's care home Wood Farm, Sandringham, likes to spend the day watching cooking programmes. He is a Mary Berry fan apparently.

Surely Nigella is more up his street?

I must be a very lucky person, - if rather under-discerning, - I like almost everyone.

I use wine in cooking too Teetime and ( as they say) even put it in the food sometimes.?

Of course doesn't everyone- we also follow this up with a bit of Riverdance but only at Xmas. Doesnt take long for Songs from the Shows to start as well.

Teetime do you dip your fingers in sauces and suck them seductively?

I must be the only person on here who doesn’t know who Amanda Holden is? What programmes is she on, or presents?

Tess Daly seems quite likeable ( I wish she presented Strictly on her own)

Merlotgran I'm with you on the Nadyia front- over the top yummin and smumming (is that a word) I think I meant slurping. Bit like Nigella in a way. DD2 and I do Nigella impersonations in the kitchen if we are cooking together.

Well......that’s us told isn’t it! ?

I’d never heard it no, sorry if it offended some of you. I think previous posters were right, it is a nasty thread, and more fool me for joining in.

Bluebelle you miss the point. Would you say these things to these people's faces? That they have a face that deserves a slap? That they are talentless? That they have "lost their chin"?

No, because an internet forum allows people to be rude to others without any comeback.

I just don't find these things amusing when we are talking about real people. There is so much talk about bullying on this forum and nobody seems to draw the parallels between that and the way we think we can refer to public figures that have no right to reply.

So, I will do what you should all do when faced with a celebrity that gets on your pips, and I'll switch off.

Laura K is a bit like the grim reaper with the news she delivers day by day.

Laura Kuennsberg has me reaching for the remote!

Lucca

Alwgrias. Agree totally re the krankies thing!
However not of your point about 21st century.

Lucca, we got 50% in common, that's pretty good :-) Especially as my grammar was completely non existent on that post!

What I meant by the 21st Century thing is that people think if they are slagging off both sexes, somehow that makes it OK.

Well said Bluebelle ??

Oldwoman70 ? we must have the same local radio, as I do the same when one presenter comes on.

Oh goodness me alergris what’s wrong with saying you don’t like a celebrity, in this big wide world there’s going to be lots of people you don’t like even you can’t find everyone wonderful
If you find this so miserable it means you must have read through it to get to that conclusion why put yourself through so much pain
Haven’t you noticed that for everyone someone doesnt like there’s someone saying ‘oh I like them’ it’s called conversation
Boring old world if we all like the same person /thing

Female celebrities I do like, Eileen Atkins, Joan Plowright, judi dench, Maggie Smith as seen on the wonderful “nothing like a dame” programme.
