Lucy Worsley - bbc2

shes on everything historical lately ..


trouble with the R's tho ...

I think she's got a cute little R's

i'm worried she may be a boy?

I have a girl crush on Lucy

she's the thinking man's crumpet

Can any oldtimers remember the first person given this sobriquet ?

Bakewell Taart!

Selina Scott?

I have a crush on Lucy Versamy I must admit xx

You can keep going back in time with this one...Joan Bakewell pre-dates Selina...and Dorothy Parker and Anita Loos pre-date TV...special mentions for Mariella Frostrup and Sarah Dunant...

"A bluestocking is an educated, intellectual woman, more specifically a member of the 18th-century Blue Stockings Society led by the hostess and critic Elizabeth Montagu (1720–1800), the "Queen of the Blues", and including Elizabeth Vesey (1715–91), Hester Chapone (1727–1801), and the classicist Elizabeth Carter (1717–1806). In the following generation came Hester Lynch Piozzi (1741–1821), Hannah More (1745–1833), and Frances Burney (1752–1840)..."

ANNA FORD  She just about tops the list - an academic too.

The Leopard,

Think you need an eye test.

She's 43 but looks like she could be 63 and the short hair does absolutely nothing for her either.

Lucy has had a few problems with the plague...or some word like that.

Surely Helen Mirren is the undisputed title holder of 'thinking man's crumpet'?

stop it you lot   Vas  you bad boy

oooooh!!!

does mirren have the intellectual back up/background

I do like her such a panther isn't she

ps  I thought I had already one

I am now going to sulk if I haven't.

oh dear beer  talking   'I have already one'  ho ho

won  ha ha

ps I also spelt it bear  before i  sent this ho ho!!!

Saint Joan Bakewell was the woman I was thinking about...think she's now in her 80s and probably still attractive for her age.
