I gave up when he suggested Dean Ashton for the "Heskey" role hasn't Dean retired? If not he can't be far from it.
And I gave up when I switched on and Durham was sneering at a listener's e-mail and calling him names; 'You mug. If you don't like England, don't live 'ere!'
Nice way to speak to your customers!
Sorry, I forgot. We all have to adopt a brow beaten sado-masochistic passion so that we actually enjoy this type of abuse between 4 and 7.
Come on Adrian. Shout at us some more. Call us more names. WE LOVE IT (don't we?).
Durham goes on more about Arsenal and matters Emirates almost as much as Collymore goes on about Beckham.
'What have I said. You haven't been listening. You Arsenal fans are at it again. Do I have to say it again? Honestly, I don't know'
And now, Jason Cundy instead of Danny Kelly. Depression mounts. Hand reaches for off button. Silence is golden.
H&J are still the best thing on the station - I miss the Birthday Spread & Fred Trueman hitting people in the mouth so that they have to be carried off.....
I loved the Fred Truman clip,also the Graham Beecroft voiceovers on sport or nought made me laugh:D

It wasn't till recently that I noticed just how much H&J had changed. No Birthday Spread, no HowzThat, no Escalado, no Pearsons About, No Taylor Made, no One Size Fittzhall, no weekend Fishing Report, No more "Pie"
The quizzes were great, all gone now. And I really miss the Birthday Spread. It was the funniest 10 minutes on the radio. Andy's awfully contrived puns were hilarious, as was Paul's reaction to them... Tumbleweed!

Yes - the guy who posted saying that he's seen no change in what Paul & Andy have been doing over the past few years clearly can't have been listening very carefully.
Over the past year or two they've really had to regenerate their show.
Whether it was their own choice or that of the management remains to be seen, but whoever's decision it was I don't think many regular listeners would deny H&J has changed quite considerably since UTV Radio and then Moz Dee arrived at the station, not only is their show now much more caller based than ever but a hell of a lot of their quizzes and other "old favourites" have gone by the wayside too.
Am i right in thinking that H&J never use to have callers on?
They only used to have callers on for their quizzes and competitions, stuff like The Birthday Spread, Sport or Nought, Answer is Ipswich, Short Straw Poll, Clips Jukebox etc. But never at any other point in the show.
I could be wrong, but I think the introduction of callers on the show - usually telling anecdotes that in the past would have been read out via text/e-mail by Paul - coincided with the arrival of Moz Dee as talkSPORT's new programme controller. Make of that what you will.
Only caught short bits of the breakfast show today (enough to get Thommos Tip which has just come in at 12/1!!!).
I dont do the Irani bashing without reason but bloody hell he was good today. The subject was Capello saying that the WAGS wouldnt be going to South Africa for the World Cup with the players. EVERYONE was saying what a good move this was after the circus of the last world cup.........except one lone voice in the wilderness. A man who lusts and leers over every woman and makes inappripriate comments about them on air. Yup Mr Irani proclaimed that when hes had a bad day he needs to go back and confide in his wife and she makes him feel better.
Given the number of bad days ive heard Mr Irani having all i can say is "Mrs Irani, your sainthood is in the post"
Despite everyone disagreeing with him he crashed onwards unable to accept that people didnt agree with him and that he was in fact correct. I didnt hear it all the way through but i caught the handover to P&T and all Brazil could say was "Chicken, you've had an absolute nightmare today"

Oh dear.
Got to be worth a further 12 months extension to Ronnie's contract at least in Moz's eyes, worthy opinion indeed on this morning's breakfast show. After all we only won the World Cup just 43 years ago why should we do anything like banning the wags when in that time since we've done so well in major competitions with them along. Ronnie Irani knows his stuff you know, he has the full SKY TV package at home and 3 laptops, people should remember that.

The strange thing is, that I had not realized earlier. I guess that's a good thing, I still enjoy the show hugely, so I didn't really notice or miss the bits that had fallen by the wayside.
I'd still love the Birthday Spread to make the odd appearance though!
I take everything back i just said about Irani. Gough is on banging on about the same thing and agreeing with Irani...doing the same things, shouting and bawling as if that makes his points more valid.
In fact have are we actually sure they arent the same person??!!!

Eight years ago I was listening to Richard Kaufman on TalkSport when reports of an "accident" at the twin towers started to come in just before 2pm.
He handled the story with great professionalism until Mike "Billy no mates" Parry turned his car around (he was co-hosting the breakfast show with Brazil at the time) and sped back to the studio.
Parry burst into the studio, took over the mike and bored us to death about how he knew everything about New York as he had once worked there.
Eventually, I turned off and switched to a TV monitor just as the first tower collapsed.

They say we all know what we were doing when we first heard about the Al-Qaeda attacks on September 11th 2001 and I think they're right I certainly remember it very well. I was sitting reading my newspaper in the conservatory when it came over the radio that the first plane had hit one of the towers. My mind immediately sprang back to the Empire State Building incident in 1945 when a plane crashed into that and my first thoughts were it was a similar incident. A short while later another newsflash came over saying another plane had now hit the second tower and I knew straight away then that it was terrorists. I dashed to the TV and it seemed an age before one of the stations got onto the story and beamed live pictures. A terrible terrible day caused by evil misguided people who thought slaughtering thousands of innocent human beings would solve anything.

Probably not, as I am sure he wanted to do well.
Hi, he announced his retirement about 3 weeks ago, advised the Doc. Well done Gough.
Dean Ashton and West Ham haven't announced anything.
I loved the Fred Truman clip,also the Graham Beecroft voiceovers on sport or nought made me laugh:D
'' He was being So Blaise into the bargain that i smacked him in the mouth ......and he had to be carried off..''
Petty sure it was never confirmed.
However im more likely to be going to the World Cup with England than Ashton - and im Scottish.
I think that he has moved into TalkSport Towers and never goes home just on the off chance that someone doesn't turn up.
He now lives in a room with Mike Parry and Mick Dennis. :eek:
A masterclass in the geography of East London was followed by Iriot complaining about WAGs not being allowed on England cricket tours.
Twenty wasted minutes - thank God I have to go to work now

Don't forget 'the answer is Ipswich'..

I guess its all about money now
