Hi cbs
I also find that their voices are somewhat similar. NA, though, has a very dry and drole sense of humour.
Ohh, thank goodness it's not just me then .. and I'm not going totally mad
I think my problem is that I have LBC on such a lot of the time, my brain switches off and I'm hardly listening. For me it's the radio version of moving wallpaper :D
Hi cbs
I also find that their voices are somewhat similar. NA, though, has a very dry and drole sense of humour. A very clever, articulate and witty man, very popular on this thread - quite rightly so. Apparently, H used to be funnier, but I've not heard that aspect of his personality recently, although he does make some intriguing noises while thinking before he speaks. Both are great presenters - IMO, of course.
IMO, as well, Charlie ..... A beautifully written post
Would you believe it? Anthony went all the way to Norway (couldn't have been cheap!) and then missed the Northern Lights in favour of a steak restaurant and an early night.
Still, he seems to have had a good time and his pics are up on the website.
Interesting to see Anthony Davis on BBC Breakfast this morning talking about voices. I didn't realise he was such a good impressionist. He did a very good Tony Blair and Tony Benn voice.

I listened last night and I think I can tell the difference now! (dear me :rolleyes::D) Funnily enough, the first caller I heard when I switched on was 'Kim' .. one of my regulars
He still has his halogen oven, CBS - or probably two of them
Probably! :D
I managed to catch him this morning (usually too early for me), and he was talking about beach huts .. I always used to want one of those, but they are just so ridiculously expensive due to demand for them

My friend, who lives on the IOW has one in Gurnard Bay, which are about £26k to buy/sell or thereabouts - absolute nonsense in my narrow-minded opinion.

I must be narrow-minded too, because I agree with you. What an extortionate price to pay for a shed! As Steve pointed out this morning, they don't even have a LAVATORY!!

I haven't listened to my sky+ SA, yet - finding myself completely spellbound by JO'B, who is 'devil advocating' a pat on the head for future rioters :eek:
Is Steve thinking of buying a beach hut ? - or two. :cool:
I was brought up by the sea &, even in those days, beach huts were very much a status symbol.
I always listen to Iain Dale for the last part of my journey home and find his voice so easy and soothing after a hectic day. It doesn't really matter what he's talking about, in fact tonight it was the up and coming Mayoral election but he still had a calming effect on me.
Iain has been a great addition to LBC in my opinion.
Latest annoying new LBC advert - the one about digital retunng, where the daft couple have lost the TV remote control.
I may need my ears tested, but I keep hearing her say that it may be 'under the ladyboy' as she searches for it. She's possibly saying 'lazy boy' - but that makes no sense either! Anyone care to enlighten me?

Could it be the male equivalent of a 'lazy Susan' ?!! Or it could be a sofa !

Couldn't agree more, m-k. He's my favourite these days.
He seems to be a genuinely nice man and so knowledgeable.
I hope he stays for a very long time.

I thought it was strange too. I very quickly looked it up in case it was connected to the term 'tall boy' which is furniture. I came up with the following but not before I was directed to very many disgusting websites which I didn't open, thank goodness, I'm now puzzled why furniture should be masculine? Oh well, there are worse things in life to comtemplate.

He really is good and brilliant in the slot he has. It's not an easy one as most people are having dinner, watching tv and suchlike.
I love the way he talks about politics. He was saying that Boris is falling slightly behind Ken in the polls, which he must be horrified about, being an out and out Tory. Personally I think Boris will walk it but that aside I drove around the block the other night after a long day, just to hear him finish a conversation he was having with someone. I've not done that since Sandi Toksvig creased me up about something. I can't listen when I get home due to animals and people taking over my time.

Nope, Steve Allen doesn't cook & neither does he claim to - his mum should, probably, have taught him
Excellent NA, last night - his story about his trip to the House of Commons was as amusing, as it was alarming.
He is the only LBC presenter who makes me laugh out loud.
P.S : Who is Chris Moyles
Ohh, thank goodness it's not just me then .. and I'm not going totally mad

He is (or was) always on about his halogen oven though

We fans love his, ' nonsense, '
My favourite SA quotes are his advice about dieting ......" Little & often," - then - " exercise regularly."
IMO, as well, Charlie
I think he works on a lesser-known radio station that appeals to the yoof
Still, he seems to have had a good time and his pics are up on the website.

Or an exotic au pair!

How do you know they were disgusting if you didn't open them

I must have a lazy eye!
