So, it seesm to me that they choose the presenters to identify with the widest possible range of people. This is how I see them...


Claire Sutton - the woman who looks after your kids at the nursery
Craig Rowe - your best friends best gay mate
Simon Biagi - the know-all at work who everyone hates
Julia Roberts - the neighbour who flirts with your husband
Debbie Flint - the woman you buy your tea towels from on the market
Anne Dawson - your mum
Kathy Tayler - your sister-in-law
Catherine Huntley - the stripper at the local Spearmint Rhino
Charlie Brook - that weird bloke who looks at you at the bus stop
Julian Ballantyne - the barman at your local


you get my drift...... over to you!
 
Pipa the perpetually chirpy soccer mom at the school gate who depresses the other mums with her annoying slimness,edgy stlyle and oh so busy fabulous life! Debbie G the friendly chatty woman at your hotel last year in Portugal who got the karaoke going every evening. Anna the colleague you dread coming over for a chat cos she uses words youve never heard of and you glaze over after one sentance.
 
Dale Franklin, the used car salesman who just won't let you leave the forecourt/showroom until he's got you a good deal on finance and free pair of rubber mats.

Richard Jackson, the neighbour from hell who sneaks into your garage/shed uninvited while you are mowing the lawn, rummages through your plant lotions and potions then recommends Flower Power, Lawn Magic, Wet and Gro, Container Magic, Granpa's weeder and the telescopic block-paving scraper thingy.

Alison Young, the neighbour from hell who sneaks into your bedroom/bathroom while you are pegging out the laundry, rummages through your beauty lotions and potions and then insists you buy Floracil, Hydraflorale, Gatineau Defilift,
Tova Nights, PK's Elasticiser and any gadget with an LED light "on board".
 
Simon Biagi- the sycophant at work who spends his time sucking up to the bosses.
Jill Franks- the singleton friend ( I know she's married) who rabbits on about her latest fashion shopping spree whilst you are up to your armpits in baby poo / vomit and wondering when you are going to find the time for a shower (I have personal experience of this one)
 
Claire Sutton..the chair of the PTA makes the best butterfly buns,sells the most raffle tickets and terribly hated by the other Mums but loved by the Headmaster..nudge nudge.

Charlie Brook..runs the local line dancing group,and has 112 checked shirts,all beige tones.

Ann Dawson..supergran

Julia Roberts..local football team groupie affectionately known as 1664 cos looks 16 from the back but when she turns round........

Debbie Flint..runs local fitness group from the pub.

Catherine Huntley..friends sister who can't keep her man or anyone else's!

Craig Rowe..local holistic therapist and party plan candle seller
 
Mr Bear...was CH ever proven? I could never quite work out in the previous thread
 
cheating a bit but can we do guests too....

Liz Earle, the woman we all know whose house is always immaculate, whose kids get straight "a's"\leading part in school play\head boy\team captain etc

Uri Geller, that bloke who sits next to you on the bus even tho there are plenty of empty seats

Pilates woman, that one at work who does not eat wheat, dairy, never ever drinks alchohol, can resist chocolate even after a day of hell
 
Oooh, you are all so mean ...

... go on then -

Debbie Flint - the annoying midwife whose, demanding voice penetrates the small place you have found in your throes of agony & tells you, "This baby should have been born hours ago!"

Dale Franklin - Arthur Daley's clone

Carmel Thomas - the young newly wed, moved in next door who prattles on about how she met her husband & every other insignificant detail of their relationship

Alison Young - friendly on the surface but frequently slips the catty remark

Jill Franks - the air-head who bores you into a coma

Claire Sutton - the nursery teacher who you imagine sings, "If Your Happy & You Know It Clap Your Hands" when she's driving home from work

Chuntley - the local barmaid

Alison Young - the woman at work who used to be funny but got promoted and went power mad.
Jilly Halliday - the really annoying neighbour who won't make the best of herself because "my husband likes my hair like this", not realising that the husband is shagging that 19 year old bimbo at the office.
Jill Franks - the woman with the very very rich husband and no kids.
Miceal Murphy - the bloke who works at Burton in the suits department. Has a tape measure round his neck.
 
Men transitioning into women:

Margarine luvvy go back to your doctor cos your hormones aren't working.

Jill Franks....I used to wonder why she never wears any coloured lippy or shadow until I saw her with a Mally lilac eyeshadow and looked even more like Iggy Pop's puppet alter-ego. Just saying your a girly girl all the time isn't convincing anyone.

Easy Yo "lady" and Northern Nights Suzi...the man-hands are a dead give-away

Anna Cookson who is auditioning for a re-run of 'Bewitched'..

Ah min, my DD is a midwife. If this was your experience how sad, my DD would have been so much nicer. :bear:
 
Minim I had bad experiences of hospital midwives but the one lovely one was male. I will always remember him. But none of them were like Debbie Flint... now she DOES remind me of some stereotype other than market trader but I cant put my finger on what....
 
My observation of midwives is the lack of pronouns, definite/indefinite articles etc:

"How's baby this morning! "Is baby latching on" "Doctor wants to examin baby"

l'occitane's alexis will only talk to/socialise with people who she believes are above her socially but definately not anyone below her. ( a bit of a snob)
 
Debbie Flint: that woman from Training and Development who cracks the same "jokes" on all refresher courses , she's bored, we're bored but we all have to grit our teeth and get on with it.

Jill Franks: that colleague that makes you wonder how the hell they got the job as they seem to know nothing about anything but just witter on and on

Actually this has just made me realise that I work with some lovely people in my current team but have had some nightmares in the past!!

Just a bit of fun songs I think are well matched to QVC presenters and guests
