I cannot believe this gimp has got the gig on CD:UK - the man makes Fearne Cotton look professional for God's sake!
His presenting skills consist solely of "ooh, aren't girls sexy" asides to camera and fluffed links (all the while labouring under the misapprehension that he is drop dead gorgeous and God's gift to womankind).
He has driven me to TOTP Saturday!

Well, he's won the heart of Ms Range so I guess he must be drop dead gorgeous and God's gift to a very attractive woman. As for his presenting skills, have you given a thought to it maybe being tongue-in-cheek? I'm not sure about him either but I think there might be more to him than meets the eye. As for this:
But Fearne Cotton is professional. Very professional. I don't enjoy her style but that's a different thing entirely.

I think you have taken me a bit too literally (I like Fearne Cotton!) - I was merely voicing my opinion that Dave Berry is a bad choice of presenter for CD:UK in so far as I find his presenting style intensely annoying.

He's a rare example of someone who comes across on the cameras of being more of a dick than he is in real life, rather than the usual 'celebs' who are just awful when the cameras aren't running.

Apparantly he is very skinny (aren't we all?), and my friend got to cuddle him on TRL when he won tickets to the EMA's live on air for singing Justin Timberlake - my other friend likes to believe he shouted "minger" at Jenny Frost, but I don't know whether to believe him - was anyone else there? But I think he is only attractive depending on his hair. His nose is also a bit red, and he just looks a bit oily. However, he is not too unlikeable, a bit of a Metro - meaning he enjoys the attention, or just the thought of people finding him attractive, yet tries to appear unassuming about it (only a few of us can pull that off).

I think you have taken me a bit too literally (I like Fearne Cotton!) Hang on, either you mean something or you don't. In what way can I take a statement like "the man makes Fearne Cotton look professional" not literally? And how much is "too literally"? Are there degrees of literal? I thought it was an absolute. In what other way could it be taken? Is he metaphorically a less professional presenter? And what would that actually mean?

He's definitely a bit dirty. But I'm not sure what else he has going for him.
Frankly I think we should all be grateful it's not that talentless conceited cunt Alex Zane who got the gig.

CD:UK is a difficult show to tackle- give him a while to get into it, find his feet. Also, I love Fearne Cotton and think Heidi isn't that attractive.

Dave Berry really annoys me on TRL, but I think that could largely be due to the crapness of TRL. He doesn't seem that bad on CD:UK. They could have gone for a lot worse, once he finds his feet I think he'll be good.
