Just watched "Have I Got News..."
Posted by Raymo on 3 December 2011 - 2:56am.
and discovered two things:
1. Kirsty Young is the sexiest woman on TV
2. She gets sexier as she gets older.
That's all.

Also...
3. She is the sexiest woman on radio too...
4. Paws off
Raymo and Billy boy - she's mine, she just doesn't know it yet. Neither does Mrs Resting Place, nor "millionaire" Mr Kirsty Young.
That little giggle she gave last night, when she started talking about that guy's cv...tv highlight of the year.
Totally agree
That giggle - even more than the Russian speaking (see below), which was also very arousing - was really something. Just beautiful.
and she said "penis"
In English, not Russian. I'm easily pleased.
I'm still very worried...
...about someone having said she's horrible. Can't remember the thread. But I can't and won't believe it. She is absolutely gorgeous, and at least three-quarters of the reason for that is that she's clever and funny and has a laugh that could make the Pope turn to sin without a second thought. Oh, and an incredibly sexy voice. And that smile.
Jesus.
*lies down in a walk-in freezer for a day*
I've heard the "She's horrible in real life" barb
aimed at Fiona Bruce as well and also find it hard to believe (especially if you saw her present Call My Bluff). If either of them are awful in reality why are they wasting their time as presenters? They should be actresses.
Agree with everything you say about Kirsty. This site does seem to have a thing about intelligent women with a sense of humour.
Good.
Sorry Bob,
that was me. I merely reported that a fair many trustworthy and straight-up friends of mine at the BBC have, whilst discussing the fragrant Kirsty, mentioned the words 'poison' and 'she is' in the same sentence.
No-one gets to her level of success by being 'nice'
so I suspect there's a steely professionalism in there somewhere when dealing with colleagues.
Very true
and I wish I could go into details but I'm a bit paranoid about who reads these things....anyway, I can tell you that at least three people have independently told me the same story about her which, if true, goes way beyond 'steely professionalism' and into the area of persecution and maliciousness. And because of her status, she can get away with it.
Sorry eddie, but I have to ask...
Does the story you mention involve a glass topped coffee table?
One lives in hope...
I wish
I could elaborate, I really do.
No tables though. Sorry.
Pulchritude
aside. She is an exceptionally skilled interviewer. I think Desert Island Discs is transformed by her, she manages to entice information from her guests with a hint of flinty mishievousness wrapped in velvety coerciveness.
Absolutely right.
I've been listening to lots of the DID archive lately, and Sue Lawley looks distinctly amateurish (not to mention a bit high handed and down-nose-looking) compared to our Kirst.
When she started talking Russian...
I thought I was going to have a 'funny turn...'
Sexy Kirstys
Must be something in the name because I thought Kirsty MacColl was sexy and Kirsty Wark too
I can't see what all the fuss is about
Only joking! If she knocked on our front door this evening and wanted to whisk me away somewhere foreign (probably Russia) I wouldn't hesitate (provided Mrs W was OK with that, of course).
I wonder ...
... how many male guests on DoD have been told they can't take her to the desert island with them.
And she loves
the JAMC, which seals the deal for me, and hopefully weeds out a few of you lot.
the JAMC
the JAMC - Pray tell ?
(Honestly, I havent a clue what/ who the JAMC is)
Jesus & Mary Chain
Jesus & Mary Chain
JAMC
Many thanks
My bad.
Wonder if she fancies my mint 7"er....
....of "Upside Down".
You've got a mint-flavoured 7"?
Makes a refreshing change from picture discs.

A mate of a mate of mine..
..went out with the fragrant Ms Young for a while in the early 90's.
By his account.. Filth. Absolute filth.
But we all knew that anyway.
Did this mate of yours...
Have a glass topped coffee table ?
(Makes Homer Simpson gurgling noise)
Don't know her personally
but back in the day, when she was a rising star in Scotland, she used to get her car fixed at the garage where Mr B was then an apprentice mechanic. One day when she was in to pick up her car he managed to rip his thumb open and it was the fragrant Ms Young who took him to A & E. He already had a crush on her then, but it was redoubled after that.
She still remembered him when we bumped into her at Heathrow about 15 years later.
