But your veiled reference to the fact that she's lesbian - really, that's a bit tacky, don't you think?


Not really, no. In fact I thought it rather polite!

I have absolutely nothing against lesbians - moreso that Sue Perkins chooses to & is allowed to dress the way she does. I realise that this the 21st Century and liberal thinking is 'in', but I'm a tad Old School and think women should dress as women.

There's absolutely no discrimination here; forums are designed to stimulate dicussions, opinions & emotions; I'm entitled to my views/likes/dislikes and my biggest gripe is her appearance. There is no need to look so dirty & dishevelled.

There's crimes against television abound out there - including Piers Morgan as Gavin says - and you pick on Sue Perkins? Odd one to start out with.

Also, the lesbian comment was unnecessary.


Why is Sue Perkins an "Odd one to start out with"? Did you not one day voice your dislike of somebody? Please tell who I should've used initially?!

PS. I happen to think Piers Morgan is rather good!

Of course, you are welcome to post your opinions but don't expect them to go unchallenged if they are to be as superficially grounded, not to mention inaccurate, as the one articulated here.

Oh dear another useless retort!

I DON'T expect them to go unchallenged - surely that's the point of a forum my friend???? Why oh why Rolling Eyes is it that certain individuals respond to posts determined to change the OP's viewpoint or simply tell them you're-wrong-and-that's-final? What happened to the art of discussion?!

Or do I expect too much?

PS. "......superficially grounded, not to mention inaccurate........." is actually inaccurate in itself. Sue Perkins DOES look scruffy & dirty. Whether or not it's part of The Image, it's a fact.

"What happened to the art of discussion?!" but don't bother responding if you're "determined to change the OP's viewpoint" by disagreeing with my prejudices.

So what were you expecting, whole-hearted "hear hear"s all round?
