A good flounce can be highly entertaining!

Agreed. We've had some great ones on here!

😂😂😂😂 yup but even YOU have to admit there were times when I was mightily provoked mostly by one person in particular who I'm sorry to say is no longer here

What are those strange little marks, like striped boxes that accompany your posts?

Oh dear I'm using emoj's as I'm on my IPhone
I'm assuming they don't translate into the page
I may switch over to laptop later until then I'll stop using them apologies

Bangla, did you here about this story on the LBC news mate ?

Did you do this last year when you were there, just wondering ?

Aye have done the elephant trekking, brilliant it was. Am back over in SE Asia in March and April.
That must be a horrible way to go and hid daughter is going to be haunted by seeing her dad die for a long time.

As Lisa Aziz would say "WASN'T HE JUST ... ON .. L........B.......C..!!!!!!"

Hi

They do translate, but only in 'see-through' black and white, so they look a bit odd sometimes.

I see them fine on android.

Thank you
As I say I'll just not use them for now if it's causing confusion
I'll switch to lap top later

I'm on my PC. It's a pity they can't agree on one operating system that works right across all the new-fangled gadgets. It's very confusing for us old folk!

Ah don't go near the can of worms that is opposing systems! Android vs is is the cola wars of the 21st century.
BTW did anyone make sense of the African corn caller? Lovely fellow but he never got near to making his point. Sharp and succinct is what you need to be when calling. He wasn't.

Me, too, and I agree that they don't come over brilliantly on it

I've had at least two.

My second flounce lasted less than 24 hours

Does anyone hear think Duncan Barks regrets going from LBC? I never liked him and he's now on Radio London where listeners are giving him a right slagging on some of the radio facebook pages. The Radio London Fanclub which is named the LAGS really don't like him. I wonder if he made a mistake and would've been wiser to go to the new Talk Radio station instead. On Radio London he talks news before 12 then after seems to just have fun with older people. I don't reckon he's happy. He should be reading the news instead.

Oh dear. Boris been caught out telling porkies. Again. Good work LBC for highlighting this.

D
You surprise me Dave Where have you read this if you don't mind me asking ? Certainly on many of the Facebook groups I'm on and those I'm not that I can read they are all praising him and certainly many on the LBC Facebook page were amazed at his transformation since going from there
I know he told me and others he was glad to be able to talk about stuff that's not political and medical
From what he's told me he's very happy there and I know he has taken a large number of his listeners with him
The only downside for many of them is that they feel the show suffers due to the music breaks which make the running conversation disjointed
I'd personally be thrilled to bits if he returned to Talk radio uk but as in the case of Bill Buckley and James Whale doubt that will happen as they ALL have BBC local radio gigs

I can't see how any of those that listened to 10pm Lbc would have followed him to Radio London. I don't see the Lbc Facebook page so maybe you're right. But the LAGS don't like him. One last night after 1 told Simon Leaderman that he does not listen to Barks and plays the piano when he is on. I don't hear music being played on his programme anymore though I did when he started. Why would he be happier at Radio London? He seems to have zero personality .& would be better doing Radio 5 news or even replacing Ian Dale.

I'd heard Duncan (and before any of the grammar police pull you it's BARKES by the way )on Talksport and was delighted to hear that he was going to LBC as I don't do sport
However when he got there he seemed to be globalised and people were saying that he could be short with people and seemed distracted and uninterested
I must admit I found though still a decent listen not as good as he was
I.now realise from what he has since told several of us he wasn't happy with the unfaltering agenda that LBC managers have forced on the presenters
When he decided not to renew his contract ( he WASNT pushed contrary to what some have said) and the Beeb beckoned he was able to broadcast without a fixed agenda giving him scope to cover all manner of stuff
The resultant lighter topics have I guessed lightend his mood and that of his listeners

I'm flagging up both your posts Dave, I have comments on both. Firstly The Old LAGS are not "The Radio London Fanclub". They are a group who like and enjoy the programmes of Jo Good and Simon Lederman viz The Lederman and Good Society "The Old LAGS". Your comment in your second paragraph regarding Simon Lederman playing the piano when Duncan is on only goes to show that the Old LAGS as a group would not be fans of Duncan.

Personally I find Duncan back to his very best on BBC Radio London. I enjoyed him very much on Talksport, loathed him on LBC where he seemed to be running his show on strict guidelines, but happily he is back to his old self and I for one enjoy him chatting to "old people" (many of them former LBC phone-in contributors). He has great fun with Pauline from Sutton, the woman who knows everything and has done everything .. he is never rude to her but you can envisage his eyes rolling around with incredulity. We all like who we like but for me Duncan has come home.

And finally Ian Dale does not need replacing. Incidentally, did you hear Duncan collaborating with Ian on the Election Night Special? Truly good broadcasting, and indicative of what a wide-ranging set of broadcasting skills Duncan does possess.

What do you mean OLD FOLK g-s ??
Don't sell yourself short
This is the LBC thread
We are all eternally 37/9 just like Steve Allen

Not wishing to appear rude but sometimes I think I am in another era to a lot of posters. I am no youngster as I am a year older than JOB but sometimes the cultural references on here go way over my head.

Agree on all counts Venetian especially about the GHASTLY Pauline from Sutton !!
Is there nothing that woman doesn't know ??
She always manages( in much the same way as Christine does with her religious dialogue )to incorporate her life in the orphanage in all the topics discussed!!😱😱
What particularly amuses me with her is that she goes from presenter to presenter telling them that they are her favourite !! And used to frequently say there's was the only show she listened to Totally oblivious to the fact that we all know she does the rounds on all the stations
She did it with Bill Buckley and Mike Graham too
Nigel from Maidstone used to do the same thing !!

I just consider age as just a number Bangla I've only just made your acquaintance but do know roughly the ages of many of the posters hence my rather flippant comment
No offence taken and I hope by the same token I've not offended you either 😄
