“… packed with 400 men all wearing the same grey suit.” Maybe that’s why Jason loves his white trousers.

What about your own TV show?

[Daphne – You must be joking. Why on earth would I want to do that?]

“- and boy, does it look ugly”
Is this the reason why you want women on the panel, because they make the panel more attractive? Not all intelligent women are good-looking.

[Daphne – No, it looks ugly because an all-male environment looks dull, monotonous and monotone. If you want to know exactly what I mean, try sitting in a conference hall packed with 400 men all wearing the same grey suit.]

Just a light joke to calm down the banter :) I happen to be from Sliema on both sides of the family too.

[Daphne – That’s a joke? It’s a fact.]

@Daphne. no incipient row at all. Baxxter is right too. But considering that the subject was the absence of women on Bondi and incidentally I was watching Chanel’s biography on Rai 1 at the same time, I just thought the context was right to point out Chanel’s contribution to society.

@Daphne. I wouldn’t say that certain columnists write for free. If the writer has something to sell (as in the case of a politician for instance)they would have to pay circa 800 euros for a half-page in The Times. Their piece is is advertorial and if they had to pay for the advert it would be much more than if they got paid for their writing. So they are actually paid much more than a normal columnist who actually gets a cheque for his/her piece.

“Independent” women? Ghandek cans.

Daphne, one of them happens to be married to my cousin. So I’m not so ‘marmalja’ after all :)

[Daphne – Nobody ever said you were.]

From experience, Daphne is very reserved and quiet as she says. I’ll agree on that :)

The women on Italian talk-shows earn shed-loads of cash. They are mainly actresses, models, veline, TV presenters, parliamentarians. Generally, long-legged and with a penchant for high heels. But all independent women who’ve made it big.

[Daphne – And who portray women in a very bad light.]

Uncle Fester: Here’s another thought to mull over: why would Larry King make a point of saying he doesn’t pay his interviewees if that weren’t common practice elsewhere?
