A great btoadcasting voice is gone. #jennimurray #bbcwomanshour
This long-time producer speaking about Jenni Murray sounds a little like Jenni.... I guess it's like owners and their pets..... producers and their broadcasters...
#BBCWomansHour
@petroc.bsky.social has just announced the sad news of the death of Jenni Murray, former #BBCWomansHour presenter aged 75. RIP.
This #BBCWomansHour discussion on siblings has reminded me that last weekend my sister (in her 60s) moaned "my birthday never gets a long run-up because Sam's gets in the way" (sibling Sam's birthday is a week before).
Goddammit, Catherine Carr has written the book I should have written

Feeling thoroughly confused as guests on #bbcwomanshour and #bbctoday seem to state -repeatedly- that meningococcus bacteria are only transmitted by snogging and vape sharing, when WHO, CDC, Institut Pasteur, NHS, and others, all seem to mention coughing, sneezing, droplets, aerosols...
In rather incredible scenes my macho dad was a fan of A Woman of Substance in the 80s

My goodness, what a journey Middle England has been on with the wonderful Tracey Emin

A side note on the King's comments on his brother's involvement in the Epstein abuse. There's no such thing as the King of England - not since the creation of the United Kingdom in 1707.
The last King of England was, er, Queen Anne.

It’s pronounced OOSHA, not Usher, Libby, you daft so-and-so. And eco is pronounced eek-oh, not echo. #TheArchers #BBCWomansHour
Still find Libby Purves intensely irritating. #TheArchers #BBCWomansHour
I have clearly reached A Certain (grumpy) Age as this discussion on parenting is really grinding my gears.
(Clearly "it takes a village" just means "could you do some babysitting for me?").

Helen Lewis, saddening me again #bbcwomanshour
Today's folklore is all about sprouts, demons and farting! And me about to being on Woman's Hour on BBC Radio 4 at 10am! Merry Christmas! #HouseholdLore #Folklore #BBCWomansHour
‘Even so there is a leak in the bucket as I’ve just been discussing on #BBCWomansHour - with fresh evidence of mothers leaving in years after maternity leave. The govt recognises women 30-39 as biggest group of leavers.’ 4/
Little did we know when we lost the 15-Minute drama in #BBCWomansHour that the gap would be filled by repeating bits of previous programmes
My Memorable TV Moment was when Jaws premiered on terrestrial TV. Next door's TV conked out so they all came round and huddled up with us

Women use the exclamation mark more than men? That’s news to me. I very rarely venture to the exclamation mark. The full stop is my vibe. Or no punctuation at all #BBCWomansHour
I think the use of exclamation marks is as much about who the reader will be as it is about who the writer is

According to #BBCWomansHour you get these checks if you don’t have a “pre-existing health condition”. So because of my Menieres they never invited me in? Cos obviously with an ordinary 10 minute appt they would find out what ELSE was wrong with me?
I hadn't realised that the black and yellow colouring of Prospect Cottage was there before Jarman bought it

Swinton Talks! Who knew. And at some length....
(With apologies to Greta Garbo).

Wish Liz Kendall would be challenged about AI job displacement.
Kendall, like every other politician is talking up AI because they only focus on the investment inflow from the AI companies.

Perhaps Blaise' parents gave her that name as they foresaw a career in spying for her....

#BBCWomansHour Surprise surprise, another chicken voiced American ‘expert’ on the programme. Don’t we have any experts in the UK?
Speaking on #BBCWomansHour Professor @alexbryson.bsky.social @sriucl.bsky.social explains how the gap has been consistently under-estimated over the past 20 years by a small but noteworthy margin of around one percentage point.

I can't bear it when 'experts' being interviewed tell us something is "very complicated"
Talk about patronizing.
Some of us are highly intelligent people with a scientific education.
BBC dumbing down as usual
#BBCWomansHour
This conversation about a new vegetarian cookbook on #BBCWomansHour sounds like something out of the early 70s. “It isn’t just about salads.” … well, who knew? Good grief!
