Because Brian is a champagne socialist? He says one thing but acts in a completely different way. He is disingenuous in the extreme. He's as bad as Wor Kev at the Mirror (possibly worse).
I don't understand your point.
Are you saying that in order to have an opinion about unfairness in society, you have to be dirt poor and live on a sink estate?
I read this forum rarely but every time I do, even though I go for months without doing so, you're not discussing LBC, you're having a go at James O'Brien.
It worked well in W7 too, where I lived for a while.
Gurney-slade will confirm it's not the prettiest of postcodes in that area.
I don't know Hanwell that well. It's a kind of no-man's-land between Ealing and Southall. It has a couple of large cemeteries but not much else to recommend it!
Did you know that they stopped the Shire horses because at times, motorists were getting out of their cars and attacking the horses, as they were making them late for work on the roads.
.
Fullers (of Chiswick) still have their shire horses. Perhaps the leafy glades of W4 are a kinder environment!

Bunny Park is lovely and the animals there are a treat for kids.
We even had an artisan bakery, but it was only open between 10am and 2pm.
Steve Allen should enter Celebrity Big Brother. It may mean that he will be considered a celebrity at some point.
like "in conversation" he would be telling all the other nobodies that he has been their biggest fan and how tough it is in the industry, especially on stage to the oap coach parties... although he would be used to people saying "what?" a lot like Gary Busey has been shown to...
when he leaves the remaining housemates, including the girl who once opened a door in the background on hollyoaks (having put him up every week for non stop telling them about himself) would ask each other "who was he?, i think his name was 84850, some 80s digital act or something"
I think perhaps the point GS is making is to question the necessity of playing the audio from a video clip that many of us had made a conscious decision not to watch.
I am at a loss to understand what he thought it added to the argument? No one is disputing the possibly huge ramifications of the deed and there is every reason to discuss it, but the audio didn't lend anything to the discussion other than shock and distress. Personally i feel that it is disrespectful to the victim and his family to even put the video on the website let alone play the audio in case we hadn't watched it.
We turned off, and didn't turn back on. I felt this was a serious error of judgement on his part.
Thanks for taking the trouble to understand what I meant. There's an online campaign currently running asking people not to watch or share the video. I wonder if that includes soundbites.

He gave several warnings before he played it, that anyone of a sensitive disposition shouldn't listen. So if you made a conscious decision not to watch the clip, why didn't you make the same decision and switch the radio off for a few minutes as Nick suggested?
I'm glad he played it. I had searched for the video clip but having found it I chickened out of playing it. If I hadn't heard the audio then my understanding of what took place would be diminished.
I watched 80 % of that beheading video J HB mentioned - just couldnt manage to see it through to the grizzly end or see the point of doing so . Beggars belief really.
SA this moring talking about Judge Rinder........"he says the same thing over and over again"
Oh the irony. .....
i bet ITV had an audition checklist
- likes to belittle his audience of idiots << check >>
- likes to have a slightly camp style << check >>
- does not say "84850" or "i have one here" <<fail>>
no wonder steve doesnt like the show... it could so easily have been his, if he actually knew anything about the real world, the true legal rules not his fantasy version, could read coherently and accurately without saying "i think" as if he wasnt just reading it out of the paper and somehow still applying it wrong to the situation..
actually, steve doesnt like it because not only is it partly his dream job (judging the fools) but it is being done by someone who can actually do it correctly.

Hanwell is one of the worst areas of London I've come across. Ranks alongside Finsbury Park, Tottenham,,Dalston, Kilburn, Lewisham, Harlesden etc, all equally horrible.

I deliberately avoided hearing it by choosing that moment to take the recycling out. But later on he played it again - and later on again. I wasn't likely to be traumaitised by it but felt it was disrespectful and unnecessary. I think anybody who'd heard the account would have a pretty good grasp of what had happened without using any part of the terrorists' video. .

Oh, I wouldn't go that far. It's quite green and leafy, just not very interesting.

I had absolutely no intention of watching it or hearing the prolonged discussions about it on Ferrari's show and switched off early on as I said on here this morning.
I remember seeing the video of Ken Bigley when that was on youtube about ten years ago and had no intention of processing that shock factor again.

Smacks of an obsession to a casual observer.
There is nothing casual about Mike's obsession
I'm not really bothered who lives where but for the record JOB did live in Kilburn before he moved to Chiswick. Its where he was burgled I think.

If you read my post you will see that I switched off when I heard the warning, and thankfully didn't switch back on, especially if indeed he felt the dubious need to play the clip twice more.
Fortunately I am not of a 'sensitive disposition', just able to fully comprehend the true horror of the event without the need to listen/watch it unfold.

Well, I guess some people need things spelling out. Which NF's show is rather good at.
I think it was more Ladbroke Grove / Latimer Road area - close to the old LBC Towers in Bramley (as in the apples) Road.
He should have manned up and stayed there, not moved to an area where he could bring his kids up safely with less risk of being burgled. How can he expect to know about how real people live if he's not there in the thick of it? ;-)

Finally g-s has seen the light! Now we can teach you the secret handshake. But first, the initiation ceremony.
You know that ad where he says "but I'm a dog and I run to this!"
That "dog" music doesn't make me think of something dynamic and exciting, which I assume is the intention. Rather it makes me think of a large and slightly dim but lovely wet yellow Labrador, lumbering around a park with it's tongue out trying to work out what it's supposed to be chasing.
It's probably just me....
While we're on ads, have you noticed the lyric change in the Hampson Hughes ad? Apparently it's not "for money that's upfront" any more. Shame as I was going to ring them for some upfront money.

I started work in Greenwich in 1976 and it was Outer. I see now that it and Lewisham are classed as Inner.
Both ring bells - especially the Spreadeagle
