Erm, he needs help urgently in that case.
I thought maybe it was some veiled comment about my prediction about the
end of the BT Infinity two adverts.

Hardly exhaustive. Matthew Parrish must be one of the best known gay
broadcaster/journalist. And he's not listed there.

Actually, he is listed as an LGBT politician from England, and an
LGBT journalist. But not a LGBT broadcaster.

Matthew Paris as undernoted.

Maybe you're thinking of Man Parrish (I was a male stripper in a gogo
bar...)

LOL. Music made for ghettoblasters, man. Hip hop be bop!.... :)


FWIW I collect historical examples of these. The bigger the better :)

Fav is a Sharp GF-575 (4th up from the bottom). It's a bit on the loud
side, and the 'in ya face' sound gets a bit weary after a while. But
looks nice for the 80's kid still in me.

A now very senior British Army Officer told me that when reporting the Balkans conflict she had a good looking young captain shall we say "entertaining her" apparently this was quite normal wherever she ended up giving embedded a whole new meaning

Could that be a well known broadcaster - a.k.a. Captain

It certainly seems entitled to some sort of official recognition for
the extent to which it can be considered off-topic.

Interestingly my Usenet provider (NIN) did not publish Bill's original
post, so the word 'lesbian' possibly caused it to be tagged as spam for
this group ?

Oh, yes, I can see that in the quoted header now you mention it. Mystery
solved. Timely though, Ms Aide presented a programme last night about WW1

I think she is very careful not to get too much in the thick of it in a
foolhardy way. This is no doubt why she is still in one piece.

She has my respect. One of the more balanced war
reporters out there, now a rare species indeed.

Aside: when I started in Bristol in 1978, she was
listed on the emergency signage as one of the
site's qualified first aiders. She was a station
assistant in Radio Bristol at the time, I think.

Any sexual preferences she might have had weren't
mentioned.

She seems that type of person who would not attempt to hide it if she
were that way inclined.

Likewise.

I've read her autobiography, it was 10 years ago, but I don't recall
anything in it regarding her orientation, but is was a bloody good read,
recommended.
