I guess I am just trying to give someone a little bit of credit for not putting it above all else- in other words, he does treat everyone equally, he is friendly to even those who cannot offer him something or who are not rich or famous...) in other words, acting like a decent human being! But I don't know him that well, and it is true that all of his books, etc., are preoccupied with the rich and famous, but is it because he values this above all else or is it just the topic he chooses to obsess over? I suppose I have met so many of the media snob types, who really are rather awful,so I am curious as to what makes them tick, etc. And was it always such?

But what is there to be fascinated about wealth and status? Isn't this a bit like Liz Taylor loving diamonds - yes, don't we all, dearie. There can be scarcely a hack in all of Britain who's not preoccupied with the wealthy, the privileged, the whatever - just look at the Guardian, the Hello! of the "qualities". What precisely is there to be fascinated about, unless of course one is looking for favours? The result is brown-nosing, catalogue magazines and a dreadful, vulgar snobbery.Madame Arcatihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04823823014493798116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30643113.post-1177179069878701462009-02-11T08:01:00.000+00:002009-02-11T08:01:00.000+00:00Ostler was a nightmare on the S Exp mag.Ostler was a nightmare on the S Exp mag.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30643113.post-23191027728157614662009-02-11T05:15:00.000+00:002009-02-11T05:15:00.000+00:00When she was on the Express, Ostler was known as T...When she was on the Express, Ostler was known as Tiny Tears, a reference to both her diminutive stature and her habit of bursting into tears at any given moment.<BR/>Her husband is very handsome though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30643113.post-21793428152889029242009-02-10T22:26:00.000+00:002009-02-10T22:26:00.000+00:00I agree that Coleridge is one of the nicer "societ...I agree that Coleridge is one of the nicer "society" journalists. His staff tend to like him- a rarity in his field- and he comes across as a genuine person. But I believe that Madame A did say something nice about him at one point (on the video about him reading in the bath)- and doesn't attack his character as much as his obsession with wealth/society. However, with him it seems more of a fascination... as opposed to a full on religion/worship which seems to consume some of the not so pleasant (to put it mildly)members of his ilk...all of whose names have been mentioned before.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30643113.post-42549773606791234022009-02-10T16:05:00.000+00:002009-02-10T16:05:00.000+00:00I don't understand what you've got against Colerid...I don't understand what you've got against Coleridge. He's actually one of the nicer people in journalism, he's excellent with people and he knows his market inside out. The reason why he got rid of Procter is because she was a terrible bully and drove people out of the magazine. It is very unusual for management (ie Coleridge) to side with the serfs the way he did. You may want to lighten up. Ostler is a fine appointment.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30643113.post-77355519066165756652009-02-10T16:02:00.000+00:002009-02-10T16:02:00.000+00:00I predict a short tenure.
