You want salt with those chips?

Here we go!!

And yes, I put salt on my chips.

[Bryn]

Is Beef Oven the new Mandryka?

Quite different tastes:

Is this perhaps a record for the quickest degeneration of a (non-Thatcher) thread?

Yes it is sad that even Breakfast that has generated lots and lots of orderly debate has also now descended to this - SMP does not IMHO deserve it......

I quite agree, AG. What she deserves is very early retirement.

IYHO of course

That the opinion is being stated by me is self-evident, AG. And a Thropplenoggin's opinions are rarely shackled by humility.

Her work on Hear and Now has always seemed well up to par to me. I don't listen to Breakfast, so can't comment on her work for that programme.

Northender....Perhaps in similar fashion to cricketers (where they can challenge lbw decisions) we should get 2 chances within a thread to zap other peoples objectionable without redress ....it might solve a few of the spats....

Ah, Lego indeed.

You probably know the one about the two
monks, but I’ll tell it
anyway. They were
walking along one day when they came to
a stream where a young lady was
waiting, hoping that someone
would help her across.
Without hesitating, one
of the monks picked her up and
carried her across,
putting her down safely on the
other side.
The two monks continued
walking along, and after
some time the second one,
unable to restrain himself,
said to the first,
“You know we’re not
allowed to touch women;
why did you carry that woman
across the stream?”
The first monk replied:
“Put her down.
I did two hours ago.”

Lego, geddit?

Indeed. She is an excellent interviewer (asks a relevant and interesting question, then shuts up, lets the interviewee reply and listens to their answer) and gave a superb double-edition of Discovering Music on the "Brandenburg" Concerti that Tovey, Bernstein and Hopkins would have been proud of.

It's only on Breakfast that she appears foolish - as does everyone else who appears in that format. "Early retirement" (ie, allowing her to be broadcast only on the later programmes in which she's so much better) would be a good thingfor everyone.
