Claire Balding...

[ferlew]

What a strange hairstyle she sports. Love her progs though.

[grasscarp]

At least she is not balding

[agchristie]

Accomplished broadcaster,older than her years.Never changed her hairstyle that I can recall...

[ferlew]

Pardon ??

[agchristie]

CB is a lesbian...

[Zacs-Master]

I think DT is making a rather rude reference to Clair's girlfriend.

[DTCwordfan]

I presume that you have been watching the porgramme fronted by her on seven of the Commonwealth's seven wonders, inc the infamous cave of the Hebridean Overture by Mendelssohn.....Alice is Clare's partner.

How old are you DTC - you sound like a schoolboy sniggering over a crude joke. some people are gay - get over it.

[Maydup]

A schoolboy of the '50s in fact.

[ferlew]

Oh, ok.... I knew she was, just don't think it's pertinent, to my question.

[agchristie]

CB is an excellent broadcaster on radio and tv.Very professional and knowledgeable.

[DTCwordfan]

nah, Zac, just a play on words.....the programme wasn't bad. Haven't been to Staffa but I have been to the first sites in NZ, Milford and Doubtful Sound and they are indeed very beautiful.

[DTCwordfan]

and black-cat, you know which pier to go to.

[black_cat51]

eh?

[woofgang]

I have found her annoying ever since she was on breakfast time saying how glorious horse racing is and how terribly upset she got when a horse was killed but still it was a glorious sport and the horses love it.

[Mamyalynne]

I enjoyed the programme, I presume she likes the style and that's why she keeps it.

[black_cat51]

or maybe she has curse-ed hair like me :)

[anneasquith]

ferlew, not pertinent in the least ! she irritates me a wee bit. everything just seems to be spiffing and jolly good :)

[DTCwordfan]

woofgang, she comes from the industry and her old man was a trainer and owner. She does have a pretty good knowledge of it. She would also be one of the first to shout there was abject cruelty, wit her opinions on whip regulations.

Like Hazel Irvine,shes at the Beeb sports team on merit and not to just to fill a female quota.
