Have canvassed things here at home, and it turns out neither my husband not I would say no to Konnie. Always good to find another thing in common.

Although I now suspect he had kids so he could start watching Blue Peter.

Is that bad?

For folk of a certain age, me for instance, Carol Vorderman is extremely attractive. She knows useful things like what day of the week it is, or even more complicated stuff like what day of the month. And when she got over her frumpy look, whoowaar! (I hope I’ve got that right, not as young as I used to be)

Anyway I think Rupa Huq is a doll.

Is it sexist if I admit that *I* wouldn’t say no to Konnie? I draw the line at the Vord at the Board, though. After all, she only got a third in her degree…

“It’s not our fault. Blame Darwin. ”

That is the problem with the left. Always blaming someone else!

Maybe Ms Huq plays a role for sure. But perhaps we could begin by eliminating more likely causes like the lack of MONETARY incentives built into getting work. It doesn’t all have to be horrible right-wing cutting off benefits stuff. We could start by raising the no income tax allowance so that people on the minumum wage and somewhat above never have to worry about handing over the money they have earned to the government. With that extra money, broadband and BBC Iplayer could be in the reach of the previously unemployed and the “Huq factor” would also be removed.

Us men are primeval beasts, Cath.

Oh come on Cath. A little humour on LC wouldn’t go amiss, would it?

Chill out Cath, I thought it was a very funny way of headbutting a very dodgy premise (people on benefits could work if they want to).

ps Konnie Huq is pleasant to look at. Carol Vorderman scares me, i’m frightened she might sell me a dodgy loan!

Sorry, I thought I was reading LC not Nuts or Loaded: Konnie Huq…phwoarrrrr, now let’s talk about Carol Vorderman’s boobs.

Give is a break Chris, this sexist shite is beneath you.

Konnie Huq is stunning, agreed.

BTW. could there be an argument for TV returning to 8 or 10 hrs a day? Most of its garbage, anyway. The BBC could certainly turn off its channels for most of the day, and slash the television license. Just a thought…
