    Definitely time for a change of management at LBC. Here's to absent friends.

    He's often like that with callers and even some interviewees. I've always found DM to
    be an arrogant, patronising individual. .

    I'm afraid I have to agree. I missed this morning, but I've commented before on how DM seems to have got worse and worse. I still like the show, but he speaks far too much and when he does go off on one... it's usually pretty unedifying and unnecessary.

    I see Nick Abbot is having another go at UKIP again. He really seems to have a bee in his bonnet about them. How about changing the record Nick. Let me know when you have got it out of your system and I'll turn you back on.

    The more exposure that's given to their unsavoury activities the better. Go Nick.

    Go Nick.
    Well I can at least second that sentiment. The thing is when someone preaches at me like a record with the needle stuck, I want to do the exact opposite.
    He has also been laying into Russell Brand in a particularly snide manner. It's almost like he is jealous of him for some reason. Bizarre.

    Nick abbot always banging on out the clocks going back 1 hour, most countries also change back 1 hour.
    Nick abbot is obsessed with hot weather I think he needs to move away from Britain maybe a hot sunny climate he can take all the moaner callers with him. Boring old doris If she comes on she always agrees with him. Dull dull radio i'm afraid. About time we had a major revamp like 5 live has done. Nick abbot is one of those presenters either you love him or dislike him.

    Cristo was wearing his psychologist hat overnight with a caller. The conversation meandered on for ages, uncomfortable listening I began to feel more like a fly on the wall than a radio listener. He does like to overindulge, doesn't he?

    I don't like Nick Abbot much but anyone laying into the oaf Brand is okay with me.

    I am finding all the presenters are becoming rude and intolerant of anyone who disagrees with them. Gone are the days when Clive Bull was polite and listened to an opposing view, he was kindness itself to Chris from Crouch End who I know is well known for her well, off the radar views.
    It would be okay if Nick Abbott went on and on about UKip but he doesn't get his facts right, and how dare anyone come on and have an opposing view. He sneers and belittles the caller. On Friday night I thought Christo was going to burst into tears and have to be carried off, he was like a child who wasn't getting his own way, stamping his foot. Steve Allen thinks anyone who dares to comment has some mental illness. Duncan Barkes shouts.
    They read direct from newspapers as if everything in it is fact. Its shameful and lazy Yes even you Nick Abbott. And he does go on about hot weather. In the summer, he seemed to think that anyone who didn't like that debilitating heat that made me feel ill this year, was stupid.

    Steve still pushing tickets for the Magic Circle show. It seems not all his fans are into conjuring tricks. I must say it would bore me stiff.

    Morning all. :)

    all i heard of lbc this morning was the 1 minute i had the radio on to reset the time on the hifi (the alarm & clock is dab powered)...

    in that 1 minute i heard steve insult his fans... "the sheep, or as he likes to call them the seals, clap clap clap" - actually he may have been talking about the x-factor fans... but a fanbase is the same isnt it steve...

    James may have lost the tattooed teacher argument, but LBC swiftly redressed the balance with this

    Unsavoury? Have you checked out what goes on in the other parties? Now that's what you call unsavoury! re: Michael Shrimpton.

    Nick Abbot is becoming like a moaning old fart. His show has become not disimilar to Steve Allen's. Reading from the newspaper, show after show. It's about time Nick Abbot does some research before his show and not rely on biased articles! His negativity about everything he discusses is so boring now! Would make a pleasant change to hear something that he does like!!

    Russell Brand is a complete waste of space. How he gets so much air time is beyond me. How can anyone take him seriously?

    As for UKIP , did anyone see that idiot Winston McKenzie on Newsnight?? Without the charismatic Farage, UKIP would be nothing. They are a one person party. NA and even JOB can carry on ridiculing them as far as I'm concerned.

    NA if far better when he talk about non political stuff. When he is talking about rock bands or germs he's far more entertaining.

    I also love Doris from Ongar

    He works so much better when he has a foil to work off. Amanda was very good with Nick and made for much more humour.

    Producer Will seems to speak occassionally but Amanda is missed ...
