2nd August
As I was suspecting/hoping Matt was on Breakfast this morning. Matt's shirt was matching the clouds in his pictures ie. black! Not really want we want on a weekend but after last weekends superb weather I guess we can't complain.....can we????
Chris Hollins on today, good! And the hour-glass figure was a topic today so Chris asked Matt: 'ok, time for Weather, time for the big question Matt, are you an hour-glass fan?' Matt laughs and replies diplomatically: 'ohhh I'll stay away from that arguement, I'll get myself into trouble if I'm not careful'
After the forecast the topic didn't quite drop, Chris:'Very diplomatic wasn't he? Sonia: 'I know, what with the hour-glass figure? Well, you didn't answer yours' Chris: 'No, well I'm going to be diplomatic as well' (and a sneaky side-glance look towards Sonia.) Well, that was around the 7.15 forecast.
Then just before the 7.45 forecast there was an interview about it, so this subject wasn't going away! Chris: 'Lets go and see what the weathers going to be like from Matt who told us he didn't know whether he liked the hour-glass figure or not'. Matt laughs: 'I'm gonna sit on the fence again. I like women who are happy with themself, there you go' And at the end Chris said: 'I'm gonna get you a little later on Matt. Matt: 'I wouldn't be surprised' Sonia:'I know, he can't sit on the fence like that, twice now, what is he worried about? He said a woman who's happy with how she is..hmmm.'
Matt got a break from the 'hour-glass' banter on the 8.15 forecast, Chris was asking if the weather was a bit 'wishy-washy'!
9.20 forecast Chris with serious face gave Matt a choice: 'Come on Matt, Marilyn Monroe or Kate Moss?' Matt: 'Has to be Marilyn Monroe, ok, I'll stop sitting on the fence, now there you go'
Matt in the jungle!
Caught the beginning of him on BBCi World yesterday (I was checking for Dan, obviously) and he seemed to have caught the same cheery-itis that Dan has. He was very enthusiastic with his 'Hello! I'm Matt Taylor...'
