Rob Burnett's contributions over the past week have been utterly fantastic. I've missed him! Glad to see him resurrecting Paulie's infamous catchphrase, too.

I thought it was Sharon Osbourne's dad, Don Arden that used to hang people out of windows when he was a manager.
He used to stub out cigars on people and all sorts. He was quite a character.

Sounds a bit Jacko, tae me .. Lors ?
Not long now GAL ? ![]() ![]() One of the topics on Iain's show tonight is 'sleep' but no-one has called in about it and Iain hasn't mentioned it since. I've noticed that the subjects chosen for discussion usually get sidelined quickly in favour of more random themes. I like that though, I like it when things go off at a tangent and it becomes a free-for-all, anything goes format. One thing that started to annoy me a bit about Nick Abbot is that he gets irritated when callers go 'off topic' - he comes out with his line 'What's that got to do with anything we're talking about?' I much prefer Iain's style, he's happy to go with the flow, it makes for much better radio. |

I'm the same, I only listen to LBC for Nick.
Last Friday, I did the dirty on Nick and tuned in to Iain instead. What did you decide to do, Rich? I'm wondering if Nick will lose listeners to Iain. I'm considering going back to Nick and listening to Iain's Friday night show on podcast. ![]() Mention of memorable callers who are returning to air on TalkRadio reminds me of one who I have not heard in years who used to phone Ian Collins during his Creatures Of The Night days. Roger from Bristol who would get into some quite deep discussions. He had one of those rather memorable voices. I suddenly stopped hearing him at some point a long time ago. |

I said the show the other day was better as there was less of her. I did like the 'bants' between Kath and Kelly on the BBC show but sometimes when its her and Iain I'd rather hear the occasional contribution as it sounds sometimes she tries to hard. She is a very attractive lady mind you.
![]() Somehow I missed that, possibly as it is at the bottom of the last page. I also missed reading the post about Emma phoning BBC R London ![]() I have actually been surprised at how little Kath there has been. I had assumed she would be in the studio when there were no calls, but she's probably busy doing other stuff meaning that Iain has to fill by reading out of the paper. Do you prefer him speaking to himself in those situations, or would you have preferred say Agent Chris or Eloise? |

Shouldn't she be getting the podcast ready? The less I hear her the more I enjoy the show, as you said she tries way to hard to say something meaningful but in my opinion if you ain't got anything interesting to say then just nothing.
She says she has to do the podcast during the show. I would prefer it if she did it after the show, but obviously she would get home even later then. |

I really like Kath. I didn't listen during the 3CR days so I didn't know what to expect, but I enjoy the rapport between Iain and her. I was laughing out loud at her suggestions during the "Sex Crime" stuff.

There were technical problems again last night during straight-to-air and Iain got very frustrated. He's been indicating that straight-to-air after midnight might not be permanent, however when Ed said he could put the calls through himself, Iain didn't want him to do that.

Until 2007, Nick would talk about anything.
I love the guy, we have similar taste in music but I think he's stifled at LBC. I'm interested in politics but there's too much of it everywhere, I just want a laugh and Nick Abbot is a naturally, genuinely funny bloke. I don't get why he's wasting his comedic talent on serious subjects - anyone can do serious, his talent is rare. I'd like him to let loose and be more like the Nick of old but perhaps he just prefers what he's doing now. Maybe it's just that he grew up and I didn't.

Nick Abbot in his Virgin days remains my favourite radio ever.
