Lisa Aziz is awful, she drives me mad with 'the' always 'theee' and 'a' always 'ayyy'. She even says 'ayyy' instead of 'an'.
Don't even get me started on her at the weekend who can't pronounce 'L' correctly. >:(
What is it with women who read out the news? They make for uncomfortable listening. They put emphasis on every word they say as though making it all into a stark, staring major event that's never ever happened before! Poor souls, shouldn't they chill a little, and not sound so desperate in appealing to an audience? (I've cut-off all ties with women's lib, btw.) :kitty:

I think Lisa has been told at a "radio presentation workshop" (paid for by herself in an attempt to keep her skills up to date...everyone else there was under 19) to put light and shade into her delivery.
Sadly she hasn't understood what this really means, and just shrieks and randomly emphasises words.
James's self-indulgence is quite horrifying at times for listeners who have heard those endless vibes from him so very many times before - I guess he'll never get over his childlike blues. Please don't suggest he should write a book, it could turn into weighty tomes....:o
Time to install Ian Collins in place of Brian and his ever decreasing range of topics.
Steve's already wittering on about the new iPhone; now there's an Apple Watch. Around £250. Steve will buy two and not use either because he can't (or can't be bothered to) figure out how it works!
Lisa Aziz... MAKES EVERY NEWS ITEM SOUND LIKE ITS SOME KIND OF EMERGENCY. A bit like a DALEK
I really do not have a problem with the newsreaders (male or female). It is when they start to stumble over words that really annoys me, as it means they haven't read through their script properly.
Have a listen sometime to Rebecca Foster from Feature Story News which is used on Solid Gold Gem AM (internet only). She normally reads the evening news. Now there is a newsreader !
Is anyone listening to Barkes at the moment? Particularly vitriolic and downright nasty to a caller who couldn't quite articulate their argument. The subject under discussion is not the issue with him- he is so arrogant and really, really angry with callers who don't agree with him. Not the right type of radio host for late night listening, IMO. Nick Abbot should do weekday nights.

Duncan would no doubt describe his style as 'robust'.

His head is going to explode one day if he's not careful. A very angry man.

I try not to switch on until he has finished as he is so unpleasant to callers sometimes. He is possibly more used to interviewing or discussing issues with people who should have the facts and figures at their fingertips. I think he forgets his current job is to deal with us 'ordinary folk' who have our own thoughts and opinions but maybe can't give chapter and verse. I find it particularly irritating when he makes comments like 'lazy argument' or 'we set the bar higher' I sometimes wonder who he really thinks he is? He talks about being 'robust', he is just plain rude and pompous in my opinion.
I only listen at night times so he may not be the worst on LBC for this but he is certainly the worst I've heard. Nick Abbot can be a bit sarcastic and poke fun at callers but it's usually done in a friendly fun way without any bitterness and I never feel he is genuinely angry with callers where Duncan certainly seems to be..
Nick Abbot is so contemptuous of callers. What a shame a man of such towering intellect is reduced to working the graveyard shift on a minor radio station.
Nick F. tweeting that there's going to be a big announcement about his show this morning. Probably another politician doing a phone-in. Perhaps the Labour party have managed to push somebody forward. The trouble with using members of the Opposition, of any party, is that they can't be challenged on current policy because they aren't responsible for it. They can only tell us where the Government is going wrong and how much better they would do it, which makes Phone Farage or Ring Reeves nothing more than a party political broadcast.
Oh bloody hell! It's Phone Farage. I wonder how they managed to coax him in for a weekly show. He's about as hard to get as a parking ticket in Piccadilly! (where's the 'rolling eyes' when you need it?)

The next member then must be 'Moral Compass' surely, to make it complete.

nothing can top the 'on FM err' man for me

Genius, I bet they monitor the Brian show as well...

Do we have up to date stats, Chin? Aren't you the Foameister in charge of monitoring activities?

Morning all.
