NF losing the plot just now, telling a Ukrainian immigrant in Italy to get a job, saying there's lots of jobs.....(for a man who doesn't speak Italian or have a work permit or indeed somewhere to live)....

To paraphrase a Viz headline..... Nick Ferrari The Voice of Insanity.....

Come Friday hopefully Sadiq Khan is elected, just to hear NF squirm as he faces a Labour Mayorship.....

Vallen is full of misinformation. This morning he said that the Fairfield Halls were being pulled down or demolished but if my research is correct, this is yet another example of his jumbled thoughts.
Fairfield Halls are closing in June or July for a complete £30m refurbishment and from what I have read this didn't mean it was being razed to the ground. However it is an extensive refurb with changes to the booking halls and entrances and re-kitting the auditorium etc. All long overdue of course, to this now out-dated '60s venue.
I'm going to my final concert there next Wednesday evening to an RPO concert.

Did Steve mention yet another Superinjunction this morning? I have heard the one about the football manager and the other one about the olive oil and the paddling pool.
What about the celebrity couple, where the judges reserved judgement as to whether their names could be published. (is there anybody that doesn't know who they are?).

Why would the Ukrainian go to Italy if he didn't speak the language, have a right to work, a place to live etc?

Why would Nick Ferrari squirm if Sadiq Khan is elected?

Is Global short of traffic reporters with Joanne Webb doing a double shift on LBC and she's also doing Heart London.

Me. I don't know who they are, and neither do I care.

I do, but it hasn't made any difference to my life ! However, I understood they did it to protect their kids

I haven't got a clue what you're talking about, Martin, but I'm happy about that!

Yes, me

I had forgotten I didn't know until you reminded me, now I am curious again.

Nick began his programme by saying he didn't understand the reason for election purdah. He desperately tried to make up for it this morning, but has failed dismally - especially his questioning of the rabbis, who didn't react as he would have liked to his baited 'leading the witness' tactics.
Their responses were far too reasoned, inclusive, knowledgeable and intellectual for our tabloid warrior.

I can only speak for London but there are two main reasons. (I have two close relatives who work for homeless charities here.)

1. Being homeless/jobless is more attractive here (or presumably Italy) than back home ie there are more charities willing to help.
2. Loss of face. If they have left with high hopes of being a success, they wont return home and have to admit they didn't make it. Often going as far as sending home photos of luxury flats/cars to prove how successful they are here.

I'd forgotten it too. Probably because the story is as ephemeral as a candle in the wind. Steve was going on about another one this morning, that's banned from UK papers - something about a married celeb and Wayne Rooney's hooker! What a time to be alive!

Morning all.

I think over the years he has been on LBC he has re-created himself as almost a 'cuddly Ken' image. However, going by his comments over the past few days, he maybe showing his true colours again.


True !! Outside the LBC studios, he is not very avuncular.....is he ??

I know someone who went to school with Ken, whose opinion is that he was a trouble-maker, even back then !!

Happy Wednesday to All x

Heart-breaking .

Steve Allen ‏@steveallenshow 8 hours ago Richmond, London

Gutted couldn't find my sandwich spread..... So unhappy
not sure about that, but did here him say his marmite jar was Superglued in the cupboard for the last 10 years !
Didn't hear either of those but I did hear Fanny "I don't know why my diabetes is so out of control" Allen talking about eating Turkish Delight before the 4am (blood sugar) spike. Probably about 70%+ sugar content.

By comparison, sandwich spread at about 15% sugars and Marmite at 17% are positively healthy.

What a chump.

Also, having relatives in the new location that can help support them while they get established.

Living near Croydon, I was shocked when Steve announced that the Fairfield Halls was to be demolished. He later corrected himself and said it was being refurbished. *Sighed relief*
Goes to show the jumbled thoughts of the 4am ?sugar-Spike presenter.

I know someone who listens and nods off after a while, he says to me that he waffles on in circles and then gets a distraction or 50 from grovelling sycophants on the 'filtered' texts/emails.

You can learn....nothing from listening to it.

J O'B in full Spanish Inquisition mode with a caller who hopes Trump wins I'm beginning to hope he does just to hear James implode and explode simultaneously!

Now he's sliming all over Sadiq Khan. I wonder if SK will mention that he was brought up on a council estate and his dad was a bus conductor.

OH! He just did! .

Crazy situation. Their names were in the press in Scotland over a month ago quite legally but if an English paper publishes then it is breaking the law.
Back to LBC. Good to hear a fully fledged blood boiling mouth breather defending Trump to JOB. Apparently what will make America great again will have something to do with air conditioning.

Ah thanks...think i can make an educated guess. (Not on laptop so can't wink..!)
I did wonder because NF mentioned a name a couple of times, randomly, a couple of weeks ago, presumably to give his producer (and LBC lawyers) heat attacks!

Gets to the studio for 3am, goes on air at 4 till 6.30, then does the podcast and often stays around to do interviews for In Conversation

Works 6 days a week.


Part time indeed

It's an old one that went quiet for a long time but has recently come alive again because it can be published in America ..

For those struggling to guess who all these injunctions are about ... this thread is quite helpful if you can work out the cryptic clues ...

As for this latest one ... Lord knows who it is but I'll grant you it will be common knowledge soon
