Goodness me, what a dreary baggage she was as well, to use one of Vallen's favourite phrases.

Actually heard him this morning going on about Mother's Day, of course, and his own mother's funeral and the lack of flowers etc. etc. Such awful radio.
He also regaled us with his recent purchases of Kylie Minogue bed throws in Silver and Black. Only £107 and cheap at the price. His flat/bedroom must look like a tart's boudoir. So manly

Wasn't she just! Ditto Julie Peasgood. And that awful Scottish woman who was on the weekday show.

Morning all.

Do you mean Susan Spence, the woman who given her own show took the opportunity to discuss her favourite biscuits and sweets Susan Spence is still employed by Talksport, she reads the news on weekends. Apologies, if that's not the woman you meant, Susan Spence always inspires me to a fit of the giggles ..

I always thought that she and Steve made a rather mournful pair - he with his obsession with his mother and she, who never managed to get more than 10 mins into the hour without mentioning her father.

Very true.

Steve had to mention Paul Daniels this morning, I really don't think that subject is up for discussion presently, we all know the sad facts. What Steve said wasn't disrespectful but it was mawkish in the extreme

Yes, that's the one. I liked his other guests - John Warrington and Alan Dodgeon - but his lady guests were pretty boring.

Can someone tell me why James O'Brien keeps mentioning how old he is all the time?

I was listening to him last week while I was putting some carpet down in the dining room, when I heard him mention how old he is at least 6 times within the space of 3 hours

'...being a man of 44 years...'
'...maybe I should be aware, because at 44 years old...'
'...a 44 year old father of daughters...'
'...I am after all middle aged...'
'...at 44 what do you expect me to say..'
'...a 44 year old man.'

It's a wonder he didn't say '44/14', because he sounds like he is a 7 year old. Strange way of talking I think.

It's not James O'Brien's only quirk. He does have a tendency to over-repeat certain phrases, clichés and tropes I think.

Extraordinarily irritating isn't it DD?
Now... I did used to write my precise age in the forward of a new book, (I still have some of them ) I was around 6-7 years old at the time and thought this was the grown-up thing to do.
Gawd knows what J O'B's excuse is for constantly reiterating his age, juvenile to the extreme to my way of thinking but, there you go, it takes all sorts.

I've always assumed it's because he looks at topics from a very personal point of view and how they affect him.

I'm not so sure g-s, J O'B has not only stated his exact age before now, but also added the actual months . Scarily he often tells us when there's no given context in the discussion where his age is of relevance. Anyhow, why can't he just refer to himself as say, early forties or middle-aged? I honestly don't see giving his 'precise' age as being pertinent.

I agree. Mind you, I have a feeling he looks in here, because his use of certain phrases seemed to increase after they were mentioned on this forum!

It's something he's always done. Perhaps we'll just have to write it off as one of his personal quirks.

Good old toyboy Ferrari. Ignoring the raging battles amongst Cabinet members and Boris folding like a pack of cards on tv yesterday, what does he decide to run with today? Is Corbyn doing a good job?
Really? Really?

I don't think anybody's short of information about the current state of the Government, whereas at a time of national debate and possible crisis, the leader of HM Opposition has been eerily quiet. Presumably Jezza's working on the theory that if you don't poke your head above the parapet, nobody will take pot shots at it. And there are frequent complaints on here that we don't hear enough from the Labour party.

Morning all.

Except of course Corbyn has been speaking about the EU and other matters but the line from Global looks like "ease off Cameron for now" and go back to the default position of Corbyn bashing.

Maybe I should ring in and say 'I'm 54! Beat that!'

He'd probably be in a bad mood all day after that crushing age blow.

Oh please don't DD, not that I wouldn't find it interesting but J'OB will "discuss" this with you for 15 minutes, after which time he will cut you off, declaring that during your on-air chat he jumped into a time machine and progressed 11 years into the future, thus making him the "victor" in the discussion.

Ferrari merely asked listeners for their opinion. He got a variety of calls, for and against, but I wouldn't say he did any bashing himself. If there's a politician, of any party, that needs a bashing, he will be first in the queue. Boris rarely gets away without being bashed!
