Desperate isn't it... I enjoyed last week in NYC, but this week it's
rolled further downhill than a tellytubby on speed. :( Once again
they're going for the lowest denominator. The Sun reading truck driver.

I can sympathize with them up to a point -- but for goodness sake, it's
the start of a brand new day -- I want to hear what's going on out there
in the big wide world. I know that the road hauliers have to pay more
for derv. now -- well I have to pay more for petrol... so what, not only
that but I'll have to pay more for food now that they will be upping
their transport costs.

Last week was excellent -- there was an American slant to the news that
they gave, which was interesting. Truck drivers tooting their horns
isn't earth-shattering or mind blowing, or in the least mildly amusing.

Disclaimer. I retract the comment I made earlier ago about Paul being
the clever one of the group.

Couldn't agree more. Look at Oscar and Bosie.

Poor Mike Dickin :( Did you see JRoss on the cover of the Radio Times
this week... I looked and though, now THAT is MDs voice... but in truth,
I had to admit that it more brings to mind the rather oily spiv in Dad's
Army.

Funny, I look at a picture of Mike Dickin and think 'that's Mike
Dickin's voice' - a rumbly asthmatic version of Mrs. Slocum. Those
vowels! EEwww, inn'e posh?
I caught a bit of the show last night where he made the
startling and controversial assertion that in five years all our schools
will be run by private business.
So at least he'd read the Times yesterday, though of course he
didn't mention that, and presumably reckoned us Sun-readers wouldn't be
able to handle a big newspaper.
There is something appealingly low-down and feral about your
attachment to Mick Dick, Sharon. You make me feel I'm in with a chance.

It's a small world. I caught a bit of the show last night where he was
dealing with the subject of child abuse. Specifically sexual abuse.
He should have left it alone. He appeared disbelieving of some stories
from callers. Well Gosh!! "Why haven't you ever told anyone? <wheeze
wheeze>"

Because they were afraid that nobody would believe them??. Oh but that's
too hard to believe, isn't it Mike?

. But then he doesn't know his arse from his elbow.

And that's my *considered* opinion. Believe it or not.

This is one of his recurrent themes. There's something pervy
about the way he turns to this subject and then chortles his disbelief
when someone rings in with first-hand experience.
Dickin can be fun for the way he parades his social and
intellectual limitations, the pub bore you csan walk away from, but he's
not up to subjects like this, and seems only to include it in his show
because - hurh!hurh! - it has 'sex' in the title.




> . But then he doesn't know his arse from his elbow.

He doesn't talk through his elbow.
