Was only half-listening to Nick, but there were some good callers ... ie: professional people who actually knew what the duck they were talking about.
 
It looks as if the person who types the schedules for the web page, has already had a drop of the Christmas sherry! All the programmes for Christmas Day and Boxing Day are listed twice!

Henry Riley following in Ben Kentish’s footsteps, from reporter to presenter. 1am from Monday morning.

Perhaps they thought we wouldn't believe our eyes if the litany of repeats and ranting lefties was only shown once. Wright, Dugmore, Lammy, hours of repeats of the main presenters. Ian Payne is the only ray of sunshine and is the only show I'll be listening to.

His Mum has had to go back into hospital though..

Is Jobby taking a well earned break? If so I hope he is throwing his gated pile open to welcome the migrants and offer them festive hospitality

Ian seems to be well prepared for losing his mum, and he has siblings who will be sharing the loss. I don't think he'll take time off.

Jobby will be away all next week (poor Mrs J) but there are repeats of him, Nick F, Shelagh and Iain D.
 
Just caught the handover to JOB and it appears he's going to be talking about the awful murder in Culcheth. The BBC have reported in every single story I've seen across various outlets that the poor victim was transgender. The police have said that was not the motive for the murder. It is frankly disgusting that it's even mentioned (nudge, nudge, we're transphobic, there's haters everywhere).

It was his brother I felt sorry for. He has had to go back to Australia knowing that was probably the last time he'd see him mum.

Callers are so stupid. I know they mean well and Ian has been quite open talking about her but one woman was coming to end of a call and then suddenly spurted 'How's your Mum?' and Ian sort of said 'not good' or something. Now is not the time.

I wonder if there's been talk behind the scenes after the last RAJA. Ian was talking about playing best of compilations and played a clip of Ferrari th other day. Nick and Carol are making their podcast twice weekly in the New Year.

I'm pretty sure they used to do a Best of Nick Ferrari on a Sunday a few years ago. Repeats is not the answer. It wa interesting enough the first tim around. I also see Henry Riley is a getting hosting gig. What's that about? LBC's new way of getting presenters. Use your own journalists and get gobby arses off Twitter. That will help get more listeners. :rolleyes:

You wouldn't know it's Christmas. I remember when LBC used to put on a charity carol concert and broadcast it. Presenters and celebs recorded soundbites wishing listeners a happy Christmas, which popped up in breaks. Ian's team has put together a 'blooper' tape but he's the only one. I presume Global's music stations are belting out Mariah Carey and Noddy Holder but it doom and gloom, business as usual at LBC.

Yeah ... must admit I've been hammering Heart Christmas lately. 🤣

I wish Ian would not give so much airtime to the pompous arse that is Justin that phones in most mornings. I take it producer Ollie must have had enough as Justin said he hadn't called in for a few weeks because Ollie had upset him and now Ollie was gone, he was calling again.



( 'It wa interesting enough the first tim around.' .... I must apologise to everyone for that shocking piece of typing my previous post. Obviously that should read 'It wasn't interesting enough the first time around' )

I was hoping Guardian-loving Jobby might cover this story this morning. At least it mentions Christmas. :ROFLMAO:

James probably found the LBC copy of the Guardian open at this page today.

www.theguardian.com

UK interest rates expected to fall sharply next year as inflation drops to 3.9%

Forecast-beating drop in November takes rate to lowest level in more than two years
www.theguardian.com www.theguardian.com

Thus all calls about economics and especially the claims about inflation by the "experts" James approves of will not make it on air.

Sadly for James those he has claimed are deep thinkers have turned out to be deep in something else....

He's probably busy consoling his friend Jolyon Maugham who got called out by The Secret Barrister on Twitter for sticking his nose into stuff he knows nothing about. Giving his two pennies worth on a criminal case that was still ongoing. Even the judge asked him to remove his tweets. He responded in a very adult way by blocking The Secret Bannister. 🤣

That Full Disclosure with him and James was possible one of the most cringiest love in's I ever had the misfortune to hear ' When did you realise you were clever?' 🤮🤮🤮 It wasn't when he was bludgeoning foxes to death in a kimono that's for sure.

Any news on Andrew Castle? Still on the website.

The last time I heard Andrew the rolling gloom was getting the better of him. He's quite close to it emotionally as he has a Ukrainian family staying with him and I got the impression that the harsh rhetoric on both sides of the Israel-Gaza conflict had pushed him over the line.

My guess is that if he is to return it will be after the Christmas break, 6/7 Jan. If he's not back then I'd take that as a signal that he has gone.

I noticed a shift with Matthew Wright last week. He introduced his own "serving up your breakfast over the weekend" slogan rather than saying he was filling in for Andrew which gave an impression of permanence.

I hope Andrew returns. I knw he wasn't everyone's cup of tea, but I always enjoyed his show and felt he was able to debate both sides of arguments rather that pushing his own view. Matthew's not a bad listen, but I think he's less balanced and pushes a left of field agenda.

Wonderful for Matthew to 'announce' to everyone that he won't be spending Christmas Day with his family again because "It does my head in".

WHO GIVES A duck!!!!!!!
