"Today at (insert time of your choice) - Irritating Geordie Bloke, Big Brother

...Vanessa Feltz and the apparent regard she is held in by some of her listeners. Listener - "Hello 'V' great show as usual" Feltz - "'Thank you, me me me me blah-de-blathery-blah' continues until all present have lost the will to live" She even 'rags out' complimentary calls to be used as promotional idents for her show. A complete merchant in my view.

I agree that Des O'Connorie is completely rotten. It doesn't make Lynham any better. When I watched some of the shows he chaired he was stuttery, seemingly unable to grasp the rules and on at least two occasions appeared to forget Carol's name. The main reason for my dislike of him is that he is seen in some quarters as a bit of a 'national treasure'. No he isn't, he's a chancer who got a bit lucky. AS for who shuld chair Countdown? I'd go for someone who was apperenttly in the frame originally, Paul Merton. He's only funny on game shows these days and would bring a breath of some sort of air to the show.

Upper East Side. It's a real rib cracker that one.

Sometimes it's only angling that gives me pleasure. Yesterday I spent a relaxing few hours on a secluded river bank rifling through my flies.

...the apparent notion that Des Lynham is some sort of national treasure, he couldn't even chair Countdown half decently, the dope.

I happen to be playing the very great Shrunken Heads by Ian Hunter at a loudish volume. I am also consuming some large bottles of Peroni beer. It doesn't really constitute a party, but I like it.
