We might soon be seeing her kissing the Cox of the winning University Boat race team.

David Cameron picks Clare Balding as his ‘gay hero’
David Cameron has hailed TV host Clare Balding as his “gay hero” – picking her over WWII codebreaker Alan Turing. The Conservative Prime Minister spoke in praise of the sport host, who was awarded an OBE in 2013. He told Attitude: “Everyone says Alan Turing, and of course he was an amazing man and I’ve seen The Imitation Game and I thought it was brilliant, but I’m going to go with Clare Balding. “I’m a big fan. I love her enthusiasm; her zest for life… it doesn’t matter what sport she’s talking about, she can make it interesting. She’s a wonderful human being.”   |

thats the pink vote all wrapped up then

I suppose when you weigh up Turing's achievements against Balding's, it's easy to see where Dave's coming from.

Cameron really is a moron.

Maybe we should start a thread and ask everyone who is there gay hero?
Or maybe not!!!! |
|
By:
Their not there, apologies.

Not looking forward to her dominating National day on Saturday. She is becoming as irritating as Carol Vorderman now.
|
|
By:
she has deemed it beneath her exalted standing these days. doing the boat race instead

The Conservative Prime Minister spoke in praise of the sport host, who was awarded an OBE in 2013. Alan Turing was awarded an OBE as well, so they are pretty evenly matched on that score. |
|
By:
The difference is Turing would kiss the ****-sorry cox-of the winning boat race crew but La Balding clearly wouldnt
|
|
By:
Face it! She is the Nation's favourite gay female and becoming so popular even
Ant n Dec could soon be looking over their shoulders. |

how Dave's picked Balding over Barrymore and Clary I'll never know.

Ally Ross The Sun's TV critic gave her show a good kicking today.

"One of those all-too-rare opportunities to catch a glimpse of Clare Balding on Friday night."
"I promise you, it's no way to spend a Friday night, unless you're attempting to extract a confession." |

On the one show tonight. Cant believe shes given up the National for the Boat Race.
Although as they are also televising the ladies race, i suppose it makes sense. She'll be wetter than an otters pocket. |

"Clare Balding has been saddled with an unwanted honour after topping a poll of the funniest horse-racing gaffes of all time.
The BBC was forced to apologise when she joked that 2009 Grand National winning jockey Liam Treadwell could afford to get his teeth fixed after riding the 1 00-1 shot Mon Mome to victory. Her gaffe - telling Treadwell " Let's see your teeth. He hasn't got the best teeth in the world, but you can afford to go and get them done now if you like" - was rated number one on the top 10 of cheeky comments about races and runners. Other popular slips of the tongue include Brough Scott's amazement at the new stand at Doncaster where he breathlessly told viewers: "My word, look at that magnificent erection." |

It wasnt funny it was just downright rude. She is a truly appalling person and very bad at her job.
|
|
By:
during the oaks paddock preview one year she also said something along the lines of "Ooh, she's getting very wet between the legs, I don't think I would like that... oops, sorry"
|
|
By:
Dotchinite - Not only was it six years ago but, at the time she had known Treadwell for nearly 15 years. Certainly she shouldn't have said it, given its potential impact but ffs....... have you never said anything you regretted
 |
|
By:
She`s a bampot.
|
|
By:
Ive said plenty but nothing so personal and not when I was supposed to be a well paid professional broadcaster. Why she is still on our screens and why they pretend she is popular is best known to the BBC but I think we all have a pretty good idea.
|
|
By:
Ooh er Missus. I've done it again. Got myself into a position of defending Ms Balding. Still here we go....
MisterBadger - What is the source of your quote apart from just copying or recalling an unattributed quote from on here. I could be wrong but I think you're guessing.  |
|
By:
the source is my own memory blackbarn, can't be arsed to look it up on youtube as I'm guessing it would have been pulled, I'm sure there are other chitchatterers who would remember it
|
|
By:
Dotchinite - my point was that she knew him and enough about him to know that the quote would be taken in the way it was meant, which according to him, it was. Of course, she should have realised it's potential impact, but again she knows him AND it was six years ago0.
I do not know whether or why she is popular either, but if your "I think we have a pretty good idea" suggestion is yet another boring BBC sexual/racial diversity driven post, then I think you are talking bo77ocks. Hey-ho! |
|
By:
Thanks MisterBadger, bound to be accurate then
. Bet you didn't resist a quick unsuccessful google though, before posting again. |

All chat shows on tv nowadays are all crap conducted by nonentities interviewing nonentities.
If you want to see a classic chat show with important and influential people being interviewed by a true professional, then treat yourself to the Face To Face dvds from the 60s. Here is a classic example of a great interview with Martin Luther King https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMwz447wKe4 |

By:
Nick Luck and Gok Wan being interviewed by Alan Carr on C4 now.
Case proved. |
|
By:
as I said blackbarn, it was an approximation but, it happened alright whether you like it or not
|
|
By:
mightymac - I am old enough to argue with you!. Re John Freeman, even I could have got more out of Gilbert Harding than he did, AFTER the big question. Paxman would have gone for the jugular.

By:
MisterBadger - "it was an approximation but, it happened alright whether you like it or not"
I couldn't give a toss whether YOU think it happened or not, I am only interested in evidence as to whether it happened or not. This is not a difficult proposition. Are you guessing or not? What is funny is that you are wrong, but not that far out, but you wouldn't want to lose face on here, would you. |
|
By:
If you say so blackbarn, I really cant't be bothered to argue with you - as I pointed out, there will be no evidence of it online but plenty of other people saw it, it was certainly mentioned on here or the horseracing forum at the time.
In essence, no, I'm not "guessing" - just because there is no "evidence" doesn't mean something didn't happen. Why would I care about losing face on here? |
|
By:
What you have to remember blackbarn is that tv guidelines in the 60s were a lot tighter than they are now when you can get away with anything. Paxman would have been unemployable back then.
|
|
By:
Nick Luck was a total embarrassment on that chat show. Nothing but smut and innuendo.
|
|
By:
mightymac - Not sure Freeman's TV guidelines were much different or tighter than those applied to say Parkinson. The interviews suggest not, leaving aside the political nonsense of k"how would you respond to these absurd allegations, Mr Macmillan".
