Things you hate IV

What about the weather, rather than the presenter? We’re supposedly in the middle of a week-long ‘blocking high’ pressure system. When other countries get these they have hot sunny weather. We get the usual cool overcast days, just with no rain.

 

I’m sure you don’t mean this, but it does sound a bit like you don’t want to see gay men predicting the weather.

Who is the ‘camp’ weatherman and can you demonstrate what is camp about his performance?

And is a bit of camp so wrong? All the others seem like right raving heterosexuals to me.

 

Quite so.

 

To be honest it comes across as a bit dated to me, like a parody of a gay man. Of course you get particularly camp gay men, but they’re by no means all camp are they. It’s seems very 10 years ago to me. I have nothing against gay people what so ever, if anything I’m sure he would annoy a lot of gay men as well, who just want to watch the weather.

 

Absolutely. You feel like he's putting on an act just to get noticed. Winds me up everytime I see him. Nothing against the guy being clearly gay (I assume) but he does seem to deliberately ham it up on occasions as part of his "little notice me, notice me, show".

 

Wow, someone on television trying to get themselves noticed shock!

 

Is this hunky Tomas Schafernaker we are talking about? I like him doing the weather.

Here’s some classic Schaf.

 

Assume you'be happy if Carol came on juggling or playing the trumpet as part of her slot then ? He's there to tell us the weather not deliver a west end play......

 

No he's good. It's the wafer thin Owain something....

 

Deal with it!

 

Dunno. Don’t watch it. Get my weather from the internet.

Carol’s been on Strictly though, so she can hardly be a shrinking violet either.

 

I’d be ******** delighted. Phwooaar.

 

Perfect weather at the moment. Warmish but not too hot. Could do with a bit more rain, preferably at night, so I don't have to water the 50 odd patio pots every 2 days !

 

Really?

Think I prefer Michael Fish.

 

I'm sure. I'd be happy for our man Owain to go on strictly. In fact he'd be perfect, it's probably what he's angling for !
TBF there are only about 3 decent presenters on BBC breakfast, Charlie, Rachel, the other guy Jon (not Dan !). The rest are all highly irritating.

 

Mrs Keighley is an avid Strictly follower. Apparently Schaf is, ahem, very popular with the female part of the Strictly audience. But has not yet appeared on the programme.

 

Never watched it. Never will !

 

He’s a TV presenter. Of course he’s putting on a performance. He’s not a weather boffin.

He’s the guy that did the cool drum thing. From about 1.40 onwards.

 

Regrettably I have little choice. Bill Bailey was good though.

 

All the BBC weather women are hot. FACT.

It may not be acceptable to say it, but it’s undeniable.

 

Missing out m8. The glamour, the tears…

 

Yes he's a great drummer. Give him his own show, just get him away from the weather forecast

 

Maybe you should direct that to the man himself who freely describes himself as "camp". If he does so, and the expression is used commonly in the gay community, I don't see why others cannot use the same description without getting grilled about it by you.

I agree with the post, in that I just want the weather, not weather-people bungy-jumping, or abseiling down a building, or trying to be all political. Give us the weather, then move on.

Unless it's Lucy Verasamy who can do what she likes..

 

I think I'd just be emotionally drained. It would be like watching a WFC cup final every week. I'd also get hooked on the 30 hours a week of previewing it, discussing it, etc the BBC show every week.

 

The racist voting audience…

 

I like it when the presenters do the weather on Countryfile. It’s just like the weather but casually dressed.

 

I got as far as "roger myself" and realised I was too immature to continue.

 

Hmmm. Example?

 

Sarah Keith-Lucas, Lucy Verasamy (ITV), can't think of any others !

 

That’s what gets the Strictly ladies fixated with Schaf, it’s on before the results show.

 

I wasn’t disagreeing with the description of ‘camp’. So back in your box.

But it’s a bit pathetic to find camp a problem. That camp needs to be confined to certain areas only because you consider it an act and not simply a person’s personality.

You want your weather delivered in a straight manner is what you are saying.

 

You haven’t noticed that many (not all) black competitors regularly get voted out early on?

No. I’ve only paid attention in recent years and that seemed to pretty rationally go to ability. But I’ve not commissioned an in depth study.

There are certain block votes and the YouTuber guy who won benefitted from that. But he was also quite good as was Bill Bailey.

 

Didn't Ore Adouba win it ?
What possible reason could there be for this talented young dancer not winning it other than clear political bias?

 

Ok, @Keighley that this rancid old bag made it through several rounds convinces me the Strictly audience contains a lot of dodgy types.
