Be Excellent To Each Other

WTF?!?

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/8593066.stm

Way to go BBC - trying to ruin the format by dumbing it down are you? Eejits ..........

An aesthetic improvement.

The cue cards will be written by the same people wot did Wossy's, so no big loss.

True, much easier on the eyes, but far tougher on the brain cells.

I try not to engage my brain cells when Wossy's about anyway.

A best-of-both-worlds would have been Wossy's Wife.

Agreed on both points, especially the latter.

Sorry, do you have any particular evidence that Ms Winkleman is thicker than Wossy? Having listened to them both discuss things I'd place her several tens of IQ points above him. Plus she's funnier, prettier and more interesting.

I haven't watched Film xx since the days of Bazza Norman, but now that prick Wossy has gone, I might give it a shot.

She presents the art show on Radio 2.

I'm a mad film goer, and yet have never had any interest in Film [...]. I doubt a change of presenter is going to suddenly ignite the format.

Mark Kermode would have been a lot of fun but he's given his obvious reasons why he shouldn't do it. We've got wittertainment on fridays anyway so that's 'perfectly fine'.

I'll be interested to see Claudia doing the show as I'm sure she's got more smarts than she lets on. She likes to act daft because it's fun. Unless she really is as ditzy as she makes out.

She isn't. She is very smart - I think she's a Cambridge grad, and curiously sexy - well, it isn't curious at all, she's sexy, but she does have one eye noticeably bigger than the other and I can't stop noticing it.

Her mother is a bit of a legend from Fleet St - Eve Pollard.

Oh yeah!

That's why she's always covering it with her hair!

Still, a fine brain makes up for a lot ;-)

Indeed, it's a viable alternative to chicken stock.

Sorry but I've never seen her say or do anything that makes me think that I would give even the merest hint of a shit about her opinion on anything.

Is that a man in a wig?

Who the fuck is she, I know her face but that's it.

I've only ever seen her on that Quiz of the Year thing, to which she didn't really contribute much.



This belongs in the Nice photo thread.

I have a friend who has a leather sofa that is the texture of her skin.

Says the oil painting.

Kissyfur and Winklyman sitting in a tree!

She does/did the strictly come dancing daily behind the scenes thingy on BBC (Lady T loves the dancing programmes on telly).

I don't have that much of an opinion on her either way really. Sometimes she looks quite pretty.

Winkleman looks like two crows have crash landed in a bowl of orange slurry. Oh course this makes her excellent at her job.

She used to be really funny when on Head Jam. But that was just through her being a bit ditzy on it.

FTFY.

I don't think anybody actually has one eye bigger than the other. It's just the skin around it being a wanker. But then, as a Cro-Magnon myself, I probably have a vested interest in defending uggoes.

I'm always slightly surprised by the latent mysogny that breaks out whenever people discuss the appearance of female famous peoples.

Poof!

So's your face.

Same here. The whole "would/definitely would not - look at that specific inconsequential feature" thing actually kind of sickens me, and it seems to be massively prevalent on even this forum, which is primarily read by people who aren't teenaged pricks.

It's OK, we'll let you handle the famous men.

I have no problem with the "would" side of it, as that's not really anything other than clumsy compliment. It's the "urgh, she's so ugly and look at X Y Z!" about people whom are perfectly lovely that I find annoying.

Yes, Craster, I'm looking at you and your comments about my future wife Katee Sackhoff.



And responding with homophobia! Many bananas.

Can we call you Mr Ricky?

I couldn't give a fuck about famous people. The thing I don't like is that the stupendously unrealistic nitpicking isn't cast aside when these bores are talking about the rest of the world. Immensely attractive women are thought of as "nothing special" and the rest of us are almost considered unworthy of life.

Might be worth avoiding the UK:R forum then. (Assuming it hasn't changed since I last looked on there)

You can call me anything you like, darling, as long as you're in 80s costume. Preferably something Mercury-esque. I'm sure it'd suit you.



Oh, absolutely. However, I thought you were a bloke.

If it helps, I occasionally consider reading what you write here.

I am a bloke!

After a fashion...

I find Winkleman intriguing. Why is she obfuscating stupidity? Why does she wear so much make up? Does she know anyting about films?
And, by the by, would.

Not you klartmardytron

I am a man! Blokus malokus. I'll give you mardytron!

I only join in with it all to stop the bigger boys hitting me!

I don't think that big word means what you think it does.

He may be correct. She may be concealing unfathomable belmness.

Yeah I'd try and get some spaff in her wonky eye, you get me, eh lads?


Lads......



Lads?



Oh.

Behind her mong-eye.

Enough with all the digs about her film knowledge and looks.

She might be really dirty.

Really? In appearing on TV, she will serve one of two purposes:

1) Will she be good at presenting Film 2010. 90% of people won't care, because they don't watch it.
2) Is she fit. Everyone's got an opinion on that.

It's not mysogyny to look at someone whose only impact on your life will be the picture in this very thread and talk about why you do/don't find her attractive. If she was someone who you actually interacted with in your daily life and you were having the same discussions, then maybe it would be. But she ent.

*sighs*

obfuscating stupidity. She's hiding her intelligence behind a ditzy character. It means exactly what I think it does, Mr Condescending
