Gail Trimble Naked: Clever Girls That Do It With Thatcher
WHILE the world was watching EastEnders. Gail Trimble was winning University Challenge single handed and so setting in motion a heated media debate: Is Gail pretty enough to be clever?
Jade Goody: A Healer, Sienna Miller, Gail Trimble And A Dumb Legacy
The Times position Ms Trimble alongside Carol Vorderman and Rachel Riley, two women clever and photogenic enough to be invited to appear repeatedly the telly. Can Trimble ever hope for such elevation? Or is her head ideally suited for being stuck in a book?
Sarah Ebner wonders: “Clever girls and clever boys: do people dislike Gail Trimble because she’s clever?”
A straw poll in Anorak Towers reveals the following responses the question:
Why do you hate Gail Trimble?:
45% - She drove Martin Platt to it and David’s an evil little sod.
23% - Pi to the power to 9.
15% - Pass.
9% - I hate all women.
5% - Gail?
4% - I was never any good at maths.
Sarah answers her question with a question:
If Gail was Graham, would there be any of this personal abuse, or extensive coverage?
Gail looks like a man? A cruel slight. She may be no Katie Boyle, but Gail is her own woman, and with the right spray tan, inflatings and skin peel she could make it onto QVC as a presenter, if she set her mind to it.
Or a presenter on Tabloid Bingo. Eyes down:
They don’t like Jade Goody because they think she’s “common”, they don’t like Kate Winslet (well, maybe they do at the moment) because she cries at awards ceremonies and they don’t like Gail Trimble, because she’s cleverer than them. It’s a bit like bullying: you just look for the thing that’s different and pick on that.
And write about it. At length. Nicholas Lezard muses:
The intellectual powerhouse that is Gail Trimble, captain of Corpus Christi’s all-conquering University Challenge team, has divided the nation like no other figure since Margaret Thatcher.
Or Jade Goody. Or Madeleine McCann. Or…Back to Ebner:
Personally I don’t think Miss Trimble should worry. She epitomises how clever girls are having a great time at the moment.
See Jade Goody.
Clever women are everywhere you look, from new Countdown presenter, Rachel Riley to musician turned TV presenter Myleene Klass.
Clever means being on the telly. The girls of Channel X meet at book group ever Friday between 1 and 2.
“My daughter’s favourite High School Musical character is Gabriella, the brainiest in the year, who wins the jock’s heart.”
And how more real than that do you want it?
In any case, Gail’s not all that clever. So she might have to rely on her looks. Nuts magazine has offered her a deal to get her lobes out.
Says Gail:
“My brother received a Facebook message from Nuts saying, ‘Can we have your sister’s email address, we want to do a tasteful shoot’.
Lezard pipes up:
Personally speaking, I like clever women, and were I 20 years younger I would be using all the cunning at my command to get her phone number and ask her out on a date.
But she’s not all that clever. No really. Not at all, if you think about it. In fact:
Trimble may be, almost certainly is, very clever. But the proof of it cannot be gauged by her excellence on University Challenge. What she has proved is that she has a huge fund of general knowledge, which she can summon up very quickly. But that doesn’t necessarily mean she’s clever.
But she can be on the telly, right? Penny Wark considers:
But what happens next? What becomes of TV quiz champions when they surface in the real world? Will their success become a motif of their life? Or will it eventually become insignificant?
All depends on the size of her tits, doesn’t it?

Some women can’t have pierced ears. They can have their ears pierced but they heal up immediately even with sleepers. It is called Jesus Christ Syndrome. Never knock a girl who does not have pierced ears. She may not be dowdy or priggish but may just have ‘Jesus Christ Syndrome’. If you see girl without pierced ears you should go up to her and ask her if she has the syndrome or if she is merely dowdy and priggish. You may get a slap which will probably do any ear ring fetishist quite a bit of good.

Stop knocking Gail ! At least she has pierced ears and wears pretty earrings. I can’t stand women who don’t have pierced ears - the ultimate in dowdyism and stuck up priggishness - women who think it is beneath them to have pierced ears.

…as I said in an earlier post in relation to the Jade Goody story….you can’t control the media…. but it can control you..and me.

…Gail could also give up appearing on University Challenge and get her own program on T.V. showing clever girls how to be successfully stupid & stylish… like Trinny & Susannah.
P.S. Anokak…please only publish this post if you remove t’other one from moderation.

…oops…i forgot …you can’t say that “name” without getting a bit of pain….
June…bring out the bat….

Maybe, if Gail tarts herself up a bit, and starts reading literature like “welcome to my world” by Colleen Rooney, she could forget University and her brain and just be clever by marrying a footballer….like Wayne.

Gail cold be quite cute - she needs to talk to Trinny and Suzanna and learn brainy girls can have just as much fun as bimbos, but only if the look like bimbos.

Those who vilify Gail Trimble are displaying their own inadequacies of jealousy, stupidity, chavishness, hatred, and a complete lack of appreciation of anything pure and good. This is what Britain has become, a country run by and largely populated by morons. Anyone who doesn’t fit this new underclass is treated in this way.

Tai
I await your performance on UI with baited breath.

Didn’t think Classics ever embraced geography.
Do they have satnavs on UC ?
February 26th, 2009 at 9:42 am
I’m not sure they can look at maps during the contest. But you’re right. If they can look at maps, she was stupid not too
February 26th, 2009 at 2:16 am
Clever? She thought that Afghanistan bordered Turkey…that is the equivalent of thinking that the UK borders Morocco! Just goes to show how Euro-centric and essentially useless and limiting her Latin/Classics based education is. If she was really so clever, might she have looked at a world map?
February 25th, 2009 at 8:13 pm
Is she a prod?
February 25th, 2009 at 3:11 pm
Sorry, I missed that. I was making a paper aeroplane. What was it again?

Well blokes are infamous for not multitasking….

I was amazed that Man U got to the final anyway. With the preparations for last night’s match against Inter at the forefront of their minds, it’s not surprising they went down to a bunch of girly swots.
