A man who as a guest on BBC 6 Music's Round Table once described Adele as a 'four pinter' and on his own 6 Music show declared that Everything But the Girl got their name after a comment made by a record company executive who said 'the music's great we like everything but the girl'. A clear insult to Tracy Thorn and as every fool knows the name of the band comes from a clothes shop in Hull.
Best place for him.

George Lamb
He could be a source of pure joy on occasion with his total out-of-depthness. You MUST try to find and listen to his interview with Stephin Merritt (Magnetic Fields). I had tuned in as a fan of same and I was rendered absolutely helpless with laughter at this feast of reason and flow of soul.
Listen to his interview with Ray Davis.
One of the most godawful things I have ever heard.
This is good. Talksport is the home of pillocks. Keep them all in one place I say, makes them easier to avoid.
Don't listen to it...
It was deeply depressing and disrespectful to one of the greatest songwriters of the past 50 years.
Merritt vs Lamb
But I thought that Merritt rather laid waste to Lamb by his stony-faced resistance, that was what was so good about it. It was like a moth battering itself to death on a porch light.

I've never heard him, I don't think, but I REALLY REALLY fancy his Dad.
George Lamb
He has inherited his Dad's good looks. It's just a shame he's a massive cock (see above).
Larry Lamb
Phwoar

How do these imbeciles stay in work?
In the wild they'd starve to death (as an episode of the Simpson's once pointed out)
Is it an utterly unbridled ego and rhinoceros hide born of complete stupidity? A kind of limitless blundering crush-all-in-its-path egomania that never gives up and mistakes it for endurance
Maybe they're hired BECAUSE producers know that their rank ghastliness will get people screaming at the screen/radio - on reflection this possibly explains the entire career of oxygen thieves AA Gill & Piers Morgan
Mind you I work for a blue chip company and the managers are almost without exception appalling human beings - or become them.
Jon Ronson...
Was on the radio just now explaining that 1% of the general population have psychopathic personality types, whereas 4% of chief executives do - which might explain your managers.
Clearly many, many showbiz types are properly unhinged, and it is far safer if we walk the streets with the likes Lamb on Talksport (or somewhere equally off my radar). Better to keep them in 'gainful' employment, than to let them become aimless, frustrated, axe-wielding lunatics.
Wise words mate
Wise words indeed :-)
Just discovered Danny Kelly
on Talksport and started to think the station was improving. This news is ludicrous. The guy has a face for TV for god's sake. He's very handsome, utterly bland and has no opinions as far as I can see. Can't he get a part on Hollyoaks or present the National Lottery?
Love the fact Danny Baker has a pop at Talksport on Radio 5..
...pretty much every Saturday morning. I have to agree. It is pretty dire.
and
Steve Wright,Absolute and Capital most weekdays. This is why he's the best.
You may think so.
I think it displays the petty, vindictive side of his personality - he's better than that and shouldn't sink to it.
lamb
everything that ever needed to be said about this waste of skin was writ by viz comic many seasons ago..
but..we should never assume d.js (or even music journalists) know anything about music, it's history or pop culture..
the rampant ego only requires the slightest platform (salary negotiable)
I know but Talksport
doesn't even play music.
precisely
my point..
at least he won't have to pretend to be hip and withit anymore and can instead "speak his shite" to the talksport listener, who in turn tends to speak the shite spoken..
only a twat with serious reserves of self importance, opinions or observations they find socially invaluable (or "wacky and crazy")and a consumate belief this constitutes entertainment need apply.
lamb be the man
Not personally knowing....
the millions of people who listen to Talksport I can't say if they talk shite or not. However I've found there are decent shows and poor shows which makes it similar to just about every radio station I've ever heard.
These sorts of generalisations are the sort of idiocy one normally gets from the people you condemn.
George Lamb
He sums up that sort of media bloke. The sort who tries too hard to be a 'lad' but misses by a mile. The mens magazines are full of them. I can't imagine why anybody would want to tune into Talk Sport to listen to him open his face.
Edit
I can't imagine why anyone would want to tune into TalkSport....
I like that fact that a Radio Station
has a name which absolutely defines what it is so I wouldn't ever listen to it by mistake. 'Absolute' could be anything really couldn't it, whereas TalkSport makes no bones about the fact that it is people talking...about Sport..which is something I make a point of avoiding at all times. With Lamb on board, perhaps they could help those who do like such things by renaming it 'IgnorantC*ntsTalkSport'?
Perhaps CapitalFM could be renamed 'PlayzShiteR&BConstantly' as well?
