Hi Guinness - obvious - wimmin + wimmin issue + horse racing = Cb = obvious (if you have the mindset)
I have no problem with the bias on here, just the stupid ignorance of the historical importance of this issue and time. Hope you are well g2d. |

By:
beautifully done
well done C4 and ms B she was picked because of her racing background, her femininity and her professionalism cant think of anyone who would have done it better C4 are taking racing coverage to a higher level At long last Dont know about the rest of you mugs, but I like it |

Evening blackbarn. I'm well enough mucker, hows you?
I was insinuating CB's affinity with the Royal Germans... |

By:
you should not make personal attacks on me blackbard..it does not advance your argument
We are living in a society where the media feeds to us daily, women are oppressed by men I see that.. But you see what is happening, women are gradually making society in the way they want it if and when they succeed, society will be on intolerable for men, in fact men might as well castrate themselves now, it is the only way men will be able to tolerate it 40 years ago the world was a better place for men than now, 40 years on I hate to think what it will be like for men As a man, men have to resist women, if they got any sense just a personal opinion and surprising yes I have female friend, she is lovely... although she gets her way a lot more I do. |
|
By:
Ebulgery. My "personal attack" consists of stating that your 21.31 paragraph is stupid...
"It is not men who oppress women, it is nature, women have babies, men do the hunting and gathering it is genetics, I think we are stupid if we tamper with that" For the avoidance of doubt, I regard your statement as irrational per se, and stupid in the context of the subject of this post. For further evidence, I rely entirely on the content of your latest post. |

By:
men, quite gallant tbh, might be concerned about the plight of women
but don't ever think women are concerned by the plight of men, they are not |
|
By:
We all know about the history of the Suffragette's, why the need to have Clare Balding's name in the programme title? It's nothing more than self promoting bs.

By:
it is too deep a subject to argue on here Blackbarn..
but really just calling my post stupid, is I think stupid...... you need to have been about 40 years ago to appreciate the difference As I am older, it really don't affect me know... but I genuinely feel sorry for young blokes now, although if they are happy I suppose it is ok |

Ahhh women, the bane of my life..

The RP did an article on this earlir in the week. They gave a potted history of the achievements of women in UK politics; first woman to take her seat in the House of Commons, first woman cabinet minister, first woman PM etc.
They had no mention of the first woman MP. Did Ms Balding mention Constance Markievicz, the first woman MP? |
|
By:
Ebulgery. Thanks for the reply, I do not use the term "stupid" lightly, and I did explain my rationale. You have said nothing since that dispels my view, and I am not sure that being "old" is a simple defence for your view - I am hardly young at 61.

Can't live with em, can't live with em.. unfortunately true guinness  I can say nothing more to you blackbarn, because you are in the wrong.... I actually think it was sensible women did not have the vote myself getting back to the subject but it would take a lot of argument which one can't do on here |

By:
it is not about equality, it is about roles you see
men and women are not interchangeable |

Next week : "Clare Balding's Masada" - Clare investigates the Jewish Diaspora and what it means for today's lesbians caught in the crossfire of the ongoing Middle East conflict. Meanwhile, over a mixed grill and cooking sherry, Uncle Willie Huntingdon offers a possible solution to the problems posed by the Arab Spring, much to the dismay of Ian Balding, Andrew Balding, and a Toby Balding lookalike.

By:
Thanks Ebulgery - silly to think you cant have a "lot of argument" on here!. Any basis for this view? Hasn't seemed to have stopped you on other threads.
Your masterpiece "I can say nothing more to you blackbarn, because you are in the wrong" is a great closing line. If I lose an argument in the future, I will definitely use this. Night night.. |

My argument against giving to much power to women: They are seeking to make our world TOO SAFE, this will harm us long term there must always be risk....this is also affecting our politics, adversely Why are they doing it..now. Because they see men's life as easy (because of technology) they can do it themselves... the pill has freed them from their own job of child bearing In the past where being a men meant fighting in wars using things like sword and axe hacking one another to pieces and when men's work generally involved very long hours of arduous physical labour. The did not really want the job. There is no right or wrong here. It is simply a power struggle. As a man I am going to stick to men's side As for Balding...she is a feminist...the worst kind of women in my opinion.. so definitely an enemy. As for criticism of Balding's private life..well she has sold it across the media for personal publicity and profit.. so it is now in the public domain..so I have the right to criticise it. Had she kept it private I would not have yes I do argue a lot I believe in getting my £2 pound's worth  |

why the need to have Clare Balding's name in the programme title? It's nothing more than self promoting bs.
Absolutely on the money, though in Clare's mind, no one would know anything about the Suffragettes until she was good enough to 'educate' them... |
|
By:
Perhaps C4 plan a series of programmes like this where Claire educates us all, hence CB`s .....
a bit like Louis Theroux? |
|
By:
If you are going to get Clare to do it the why not add her name. It wouldn't put me off and may encourage others. It wasn't a scam or hype and I genuinely found it interesting. I was put off by the gasps of surprise though. She obviously knew what was coming and that did come over as being rather stage managed.
|
|
By:
At this rate she`ll be PM within 10 years.
 |
|
By:
I don`t doubt for one minute brigust, that by adding her name to the title drew in many extra viewers.
|
|
By:
I collect racing books and I can assure you that her book wouldn`t get book shelf, having read the serialisation on here, which was provided by AD.

The Mighty Mac, I would suggest it would also put off a lot of people who don't enjoy being patronised, lectured and condescended to by some jumped up, silver spooned, Home Counties elitist with not even one foot in the real world... |
|
By:
millhouse - Can`t argue with that as it put me off.
|
|
By:
Me too The Mighty Mac - would have watched it otherwise...

Looking forward to Clare Balding's 'Secrets of the Clare Balding sufferers'

I was a fan of Claire Balding when she got Don't Cry into 4th place in a 17 runner handicap at Newcastle on 2/11/93. I backed it EW at 66/1. The horse carried 7-3!!!
She does a lot of TV presenting, apparently. |

By:
Dame...............Is the "antepost bet"
|
|
By:
Be honest. How many of you would have watched the programme if Clare Balding's name had not been attached to the title?
|
|
By:
I may well have. A "celebrity" name in any programme puts me off watching it.
Anyway Professor Alice Roberts  was on the other side.  |

Why didn't they just title it "The Clare Balding Show" ?
