Ooh, I wonder what's happening to Niki Bedi - is she just taking a break if it's only 3 months?

Perhaps it is Petrie who can only cover for 3 months until yet another presenter is found to fill that slot. |

I heard Petri doing early the breakfast show the other day on London - probably a christmas stand in show - I thought she seemed very toned down and gentle. Bit like her very early days at LBC with Petroc Trelowny.

What HHGTTG needs is super, festive dose of Steve Allen ... luckily he will be on in abundance on Christmas Day to fill HHGTTG's needs
![]() I shan't be listening to his words of wisdom on Christmas day with information on how to cook our non-existent Christmas fayre etc. Bah Humbug to you all but a happy New Year, Bonne Année, Frohes Neues Jahr, Felice Anno Nuovo etc. |

My luurve-in with Vallen ended quite a long time ago now, after I realised what a nasty piece of work he is (it may be an act of course but poorly executed).

Presenters that have moved away from LBC are much easier on the ear, losing the 'let's be angry' streak. Must be a directive from 97.3 to whip up audience figures. |

Due to a family bereavement I'm afraid I am not able to present my @LBC show for the rest of the week. A happy Christmas to all my listeners |

I see Nick F will now be doing a review of 2016 on Christmas Day!
The other NF (Mr Farage) is presenting with the other NF (!!!!) on Boxing Day. |

Joanne Webb presenting the travel news all day yesterday, and again today!
Although they now broadcast national travel news, it often feels that it is London, ie A roads as well as motorways, whereas out of London it seems to be tagged on and has to be a motorway before it gets a mention! |

He tweeted yesterday about not feeling well and he's just tweeted this: 'I must keep tweeting as my boss gets a bit worried about how I am. So here is my tweet, I'm fine and will be back in the morning from 4 OK' |

![]() James O'Brien is taking six months off after Christmas he's going trekking on the Inca Trail in Peru and might never come back. The last two lines are made up but it made me feel a lot better just writing it. ![]()

That's sad. Wonder if it was expected or not. Not sure why but these things are always worse this time of year.
Did Steve do his show this morning? He tweeted yesterday about not feeling well and he's just tweeted this: 'I must keep tweeting as my boss gets a bit worried about how I am. So here is my tweet, I'm fine and will be back in the morning from 4 OK' ![]() In other news...has anyone noticed more cost cutting at Global? Nick Ferrari used to have paper reviewers daily...they seem to be missing and I've just sort of clicked that they are not there and he's doing them himself..... now in some ways this is a good thing...as he fitted in so many things between 7;20 to 8:00 they were often a waste of time... but it's still a subtle change and just occurred to me... looking forward to his interview/show with Nigel Farrage on Boxing Day I think it is.. by the way he was hilarious with the girl calling in decrying LBC for being evil and just like the Daily Mail.... "I bloody hope so...it's enormously successful, the 2nd biggest selling paper...." he then quoted stats at her she just couldn't argue with...... Lady Phoebe would have been spitting tea over her keyboard with hilarity... ![]() ![]()

Steve Allen likes his job and really enjoy listening. I think time to time he needs to take a small break

i don't think it's fanny's boss who's worried.... I think it's fanny himself petrified he will be replaced which is why he coughs and splutters over shows when he should be off..

![]() Disappointed that Katie's on in the afternoon, when I'm less likely to be listening. Must make the effort but after years of not caring for the 1-4 presenters I've got used to opting for switching off! Morning all.
