bbc presenters

[carolinej]

Speaking as someone who was at the back of the queue for the 'gorgeous' gene, I like Carols attitude to looks. She does what she wants and doesnt care. Its lovely to have presenters who are not picture perfect and embrace age confidently. It is nice to watch tv and not feel I have to start saving for plastic surgery.  :o :o

Quite agree Caroline (don't mean about your genes ;D) To me she does seem a down to earth person.

 :))I met Carol years ago on her plant stall at the Harrogate Flower show
she was lovely, chatty and friendly, very down to earth,/ shades x

[busy_lizzie]

I like Carol too.  I started off a bit unsure about her as well, but as the time has gone on I have warmed to her, and I do think she genuinely loves gardening, even if she is over the top with her oohs and aahs! I think she is a very good role model for the older woman.  :) busy_lizzie

I agree with you H_P about  the 'dancing' with Bruno Tonioli (who the bl**dy hell is he??).  Give her her due, Carol did look embarrassed.  I think in this instance she was a victim of the general BBC policy of dumbing down!!

well Bruno Tonioli is/was one of the 4 judges of 'Strictly Come Dancing' which has become a 'regular' programme on t.v. lasting for about 12 weeks for each new 'series'.....got to confess I just love that programme (being a lover of dance of any sort)

agree with remark about the DM's ;D

Hello

I like carol too, She is a very lovely person we have met her on the last 2 gardeners world live and chelsea this year she has always been very chatty and talks to my mum who is disabled and in a wheelchair my mum thinks she's great my mum treasures a picture of her & mum at gardeners world live.

Cheers

Speaking of people being less than perfect, did anyone watching the live earth concert last night notice that one of Madonna's dancers must have been a size 12!!!  I was amazed to see a dancer not the usual size 8. OH reckons its because MAdonna is getting a bit bigger, and by using bigger dancers, she still looks tiny. He could have a point.

Also heard that the pop singer Mika has brought out a song saying how lovely the larger lady is.

If things like this keep happening, shares in Sllimfast are going to plummet ;D ;D ;D

hurrah! totally agree with you! (size zero- ya what????)

[manicscousers]

Yes I came over 'all unnessessary' ( is that the way to spell it),  until the doc martins brought me down to earth.

I might be mixing it up with 'mississipi'

I was waiting for that, the doc martins and the pole dancing just finished it for me, ace, admit it, you quite like the 'bag lady'   ;D

[Carol]

'The old saying of ' Red and Green should never be seen'  looked OK on Carol.  Think I may try it too, well why not,  makes a change from wearing purple with red shoes.

I like Carol whatsername she is down to earth.

caroline. Thanks That has done me the world of good. I will go up town today with head held high!!!! (OK can't be called girl but what the heck!!)

[SamLouise]

I agree with you H_P about  the 'dancing' with Bruno Tonioli (who the bl**dy hell is he??). 

He's a very famous choreographer who works in films, stage shows and music videos - although more recently he's been a panelist (sp?) on a couple of the Strictly Dance ..... competition programmes. 

Edit:  Oops, I see someone has already replied

[ACE]

ace, admit it, you quite like the 'bag lady'   ;D

Na, onion breath, doc martins, also my walls are too thin for all the ooohs and aaahs, I would not be able to keep her in the vegetables she was accustomed too and  they hit her a bit too hard with the ugly stick.

Give me Nora Batty anyday

[valmarg]

Such a pity ACE, as Carol always speaks so highly of you.
