Kevin and Zoe are the best breakfast show presenters since Steve Wright,
but Kevin was probably at his best on the Weekend Breakfast show. After
all, who could want more in a competition than Mr Whippy's Organ. Sadly
missed. Ray's Organ is rubbish, and Major Holdups - a great idea when KG
used to stand in for Mark and Lard is becoming really stupid. I'm sure
no-one gets any useful info from his reports, and its stupid that he
needs a crap gimmick every day.

Also, his 'UK's favorite DJ' jingles were incredibly funny - O.J.
Simpson, Katie Boyle and Princess Margaret - oops should mention her at
the moment!

Also, Chris Moyles kick ass - he's on the Breakfast show soon, and he'll
be doing 2-4PM soon, too.

Yes, but do Mark and Lard know that?

Is that supposed to be a compliment?

That's like saying someone is the best hang-glider since Cyril Smith.

I used to have A Kevin Greening Comedy Campaign. Who can forget the
delights of Struth Street and Eric the Gardener. Mr Whippy was just
absurd. And those where the days when he had a freer hand to do what he
wanted.

He emailed me one (name dropping again :O) while he was on drivetime and
said that we may have guessed that everything was not quite how he wanted
it.

Lets face it, as Kev's shows went, drivetime was terrible. Breakfast is
better but is no where near the quality of the original weekend breakfast
show (ie before he was moved to weekend lunch time then back again.)

Why cant they just let him do it his way. His stand in slots for scrawn
and Lard were far superior to that drivel thats on now.

: Also, his 'UK's favorite DJ' jingles were incredibly funny - O.J.

I liked 'Words... On One FM' myself. :)


It actually interests me that the only reasons why yoy like the the
Breakfast show are down the Kevin.... :O)

Criton Wheeler (I have no idea how to spell it!) was my personal favourite.
And who can forget all those wonderful Blowchap offers? The Sinclair Singers
too. Ah, those were the days.....

Agreed. His stand-in slots for M&L were the last time I really looked forward
to tuning in. Raymond still manages to raise a chuckle with me - but that's
about it now. He really MUST ditch the Major as well....
