The Non-generic anti-Jay Wynne, pro-Derek Brockway Thread

Is it just me or does Jay Wynne have a natural ability to send people to sleep when he presents the weather? The guy has no enthusiasm and IMO doesn't engage with the viewer. Give me Daniel Corbett or Derek Brockway any day

IMO, Derek Brockway is a great presenter! He really should move to the national weather but i think he is great on Wales Today, he makes it so exciting!!

Yeah I know what you mean. He never stops talking either. His script is said nearly all in one breath, lol! He seems to be on an awful lot too. He only use to be on the odd day.

It's not just you, I agree. He's not as bad as Kofi Anan (sp?) though, a few minutes of his speeches and I'm asleep. He should record an audio book for insomniacs!

Give the poor man a break! Kofi Annan is the Sec Gen of the UN! I doubt his work is a barrel of laughs, especially considering how recently he has little else to talk to the press about other then the humanitarian disaster in the Sudan and the first anniversary of the attacks on the UN's Baghdad offices. Other then that I imagine he spends his days watching repeats of Keeping Up Appearances on BBC America followed by Will & Grace when he goes home in the evening. Perhaps some old Sex in the City if he is up for it.

Anyway, Jay has grown on me. To begin with I thought he was an inferior Everton Fox, but in reality all the other weather presenters are, but now I do quite like him. And the same goes for Penny Tranter while we are at it.

I wasn't referring to him or his work, but his voice - it's so soft and gentle that it lulls you to sleep very quickly.

I didn't know Kofi Anan did the weather!

Aye - Kofi does the overnight EuroNews

I caught a couple of Jay Wynne forecasts around lunchtime today on News 24 and managed to stay awake through my roast chicken.

Yes, okay, Derek's a lot more animated when he presents, but I honestly couldn't complain about Jay in any way.
