Steve Wright

[J4CKO]

Not listened to him in ages but was driving back from Luton and was stuck in traffic on the M1 and had him on, I thought it was the traffic turning me mental, but I changed the radio for a cd and the mental went, it was him, he keep saying "Seriously Jockin", time after time and it was driving me insane.

Can anyone listen to him without self harming ?

Who are the mentals that contact him to encourage him ?

I quite like Chris Evans, he is at least amusing, Vine though, hmm, the Daily Mail made human, rabble rousing the offended pensioners of the country.

I though I didnt mind Steve Wright but today, it was utter bloody lowest common demoninator drivel.

The people who ring in are the worst, when they call themselves "Olivers dad" or tell you whatever they have been doing, all R2 callers sound like Alan Partridges joke callers.

"The Big Show"

compared to what ?

Kenny Everett. Now you're talking!

And whilst we're on the subject of much-missed Radio 2 chaps and the dilution of the station's quality of output, let's not forget Sir Terry.

Yep, John Peel and Tommy Vance as well, whatever happened to Adrian Just, he always sounded like Kenny Everett to me.

I put it on for my 7 mile and 15 min journey home, he said it 13 times in that window.

Expensive though if that's the only reason for keeping him on. For £400k+ a year I'd be wondering how much concern I really felt...

I would imagine 8 million listeners with year-on-year increases are more of a reason.

Radio 2, and Steve Wright, are doing very well in terms of listeners at the moment and unless that changes I doubt they will rock the boat for any unenforced reasons.

Maybe a proportion of the country are easily pleased or just retarded ?

Those who ring in and call themselves "Olivers Dad" or some such st, then the ones that do the three word thing "Blueberries been picked" or something, usually something worthy or some minor acheivement they want to crow about, tell the other retards how "on trend" they are
