In her column in The Guardian today.

Nice to see Cheners get a mention. Wonderful shop.

If you never read them, on what evidence? Hearsay?

[Dopamine1979]

They both excel at self-deprecating humour. They are far from up their own arses.

[holloway]

happy to clarify... once read there columns, now occasionally skim over them. Pure drivel, lightweight inanity.

[Dopamine1979]

I can't argue with that. As my posting history will reveal, I am no stranger to lightweight inanity.

Each to their own!

IMHO Lucy Mangan's TV reviews are very funny. In them she is very witty (indeed a worthy successor to Nancy Banks-Smith) and not at all "up herself" - unlike many Grauniad journalists such as Sam Woolaston whose columns are full of "I think", "I did", "I", "I" etc rather than actual reviews of the programmes or subjects that they are supposed to be writing about.

Woolaston is unreadable

The fluffy columnist thinsg found in most papers don't bother me much either way - a bit of whimsy can be a nice interlude. I think Mangan veered way into beigh territory for a few years but seems to be finding form again

I like Dowling. Like his wife more tho
