Is anyone able to post or e-mail me any pictures of the talk radio
presenters? I would particularly like to know what the extremely
strange Tommy Boyd person looks like. Somehow I imagine him as a large
petulant schoolboy, who throws his teddy in the corner when he starts
to lose an argument. Is it true he presented 'Magpie'? , I'm afraid I
only remember Mick Robertson, Who once released a single called "And
then I change hands" , honestly he did.

Carl.

Didn't I see you pissed in alt.music.pink-floyd?
I think it was more the "speculation as to the dimensions of Robbie
Vincents genitalia" and wondering if "Robbie Vincent fantasises about me
in a sexual way?" that got the £5000 fine.

what context? Why????!

Why did someone have to ask this when I'm pissed out of my brains?

Anyway, luckily, I have an article that will explain all:

from the Guardian main (news) section:
Virgin 1215 was yesterday fined a record £5,000 by the radio authority
for offensive remarks made by presenter Nick Abbot about his LBC rival
Robbie Vincent.
The authority said Abbot's sexual innuendo - which included the question
"How big do you think Robbie Vincents genitals are over on LBC?" -
offended against good taste and decency.
Mr. Abbot has previously by the authority for describing a journalist as
a "bitch" and threatening to "rip her arse".
The station accepted that his behaviour had been unacceptable.

From "Melody Maker":
Headline "Virgin Radio punished for dirty Abbot"
VIRGIN 1215 Radio was fined £5,000 after on-air comments about LBC
Radio's Robbie Vincent by DJ Nick Abbot.
The fine, the largest ever imposed by the Radio Authority on a broadcast
licence holder, followed comments by Abbot on his *(italics)Nocturnal
Emissions* show.
"Do you think Robbie Vincent fantasises about me in a sexual way?" Abbot
asked his listeners, adding that he would send Vincent another picture
of himself "because the other one has stains on it". He then speculated
as to the dimensions of Vincents genitalia.
Virgin are currently making plans to move Abbot's show to an earlier
time slot.

Phew, thank christ for cut 'n paste! Hope that cleared everything up.

No - it was Nick Abbot, ex Virgin 1215 DJ (currently with VMR, I'm lead
to believe).

He said those things basically cos Robbie Vincent was pissing him off.
