I don't know whether its him, his voice, the extended pauses, the way he tries to make out he knows everything?

I just find him incredibly annoying - anyone else?

Oh dear, that's annoying when you don't like someone!  Well just in case you need a bit more  here's his blog!

Sorry

The second most annoying thing about him is the way he makes statements about the market with little basis in fact, to which the market then seems to respond.

The most annoying thing is the way he always makes out that whatever the PM is doing is the best possible response to the crisis. When he does that, in order to maintain the BBC's political neutrality he should be forced to war a sign round his neck stating that he is Brown's biographer and chum - Roy Hattersley in his review of Peston's book Brown's Britain stated "Peston is partisan. He is a Brownite and Brown's Britain does not disguise it."

Personally, I prefer this link.

One does gain the impression that Mr Preston is enjoying his sudden surge to prominence.

Gary - thanks for the link, I hadn't seen the Daily Mash before. Some good articles in there (loved the "banks take your money and loan it back to you" piece).
