Forget Charles and Camilla, the wedding of the year is the marriage of Justin and Natasha. I'd better get my dress ready. Laughing

Who? Laughing

If you're going to sneak back on here by the back door, can I suggest slightly more effort in future to conceal your true identity? A different posting style perhaps?

Yes, surely it doesn't take a degree at Edinburgh Uni to figure out you've done wrong, and nobody wants an obsessive webfreak like yourself drooling over Natasha/Fiona on this forum!

That'll explain why the BBC needs to make cut backs then. It needs to pay someone an exstortionate amount to sit on a sofa for 4 days a week.

This is ruddy obscene. Time was when newsreaders were on little more than the cameramen and technicians. Now they're on pop star wages. Why?

Remember, the BBC can only pay Natasha this much because of the unique way it's funded. By us.

Well, I don't mind her getting ''pop star wages'' as you put it, because she' s a star. Remember, she's the original and the best Dancing Queen Very Happy . I would love to see her do the foxtrot again. Laughing

I'm not questioning Natasha's talent in any way; this is about how the BBC uses licence payer's money.

Personally, I also don't like newsreaders getting paid salaries like this, but from the BBC's point of view, what are they to do? If they offer significantly lower wages than ITV or Sky, all the best presenters will jump ship, and they'll be left with nobody decent.

Not that I'm defending Kaplinsky you understand. I still think she's desperately over-rated

I personally think the whole practice is discusting! Instead of paying vast and stupid amounts to bimbos with an ability to read an autocue why not actaully spend some money on the real people behind the editing suite who's spend all day on a 2min report.
