I don't see why it makes it look gay. Lookaround more often than not has an all male or female line - up. Or do you say this because of the more magazine style to the programme?

ITV Wales News had an all male line up on Tuesday and an all female line up on Friday. It must be because its the start of the holiday season and regular presenters are away.

Sky Sports News also regularly use two bloke partnerships, despite their array of female 'talent'.

Frightfully good that Rachel Phillips doncha think? What a ratings winner. Bet she's being offered a huge pay rise to stop her being poached by ITN

With a name like "dickt" - one may be tempted to believe you could be Yorkshire's favourite cricket umpiring celebrity...Dicky Turd.

Is there any need to carry on this stupidity over his name?

Yes, definitely.

Regarding his post, however, if this Rachel woman is doing Calendar, then she's already employed by the news division, which is effectively ITN by another name, so she's already been poached.

So would Mr Dog's Droppings like to rethink his post?

For a man of his positive, genial character, I think it entirely unwarranted and a totally stupid insult to level at him.

I think it's just because of the two guys' proximity on the sofa. And I'm sure neither Andrew nor I was suggesting there's anything wrong with a bit of hot man-on-man regional news action.
