Robert Ironside

This woman and her "Debt to the Beatles" is such a bag full of boring... God it's so expected now.... Tossers and cement heads are everywhere... bet she massages in the tub to Justin Bieber... probably has a wrecking ball in the living room for parties.

Is that actually Colin? Also what bass is he using?

Svatopluk

Magic. 

Simon Price

In fairness to Kirsty Wark, she was probably reading off the auto-cue. As a presenter, she's told what to read out - don't think she's an XTC fan though.
