Pet hate Radio dj

Dominic

Confine this to those that have a face for radio( In my case radio 2 )
Who is irritating ,who is an acquired taste and who is long past their sell-by date?

I have to admit to Lisa (with a Z) Tarbuck being a homely guilty pleasure
Chris Evans was a little shit 20 years ago but has morphed into a good egg and is a consummate professional
I have very little time for Jeremy Vine......the sanctimonious xxxx
Elaine Paige .........AAARRGGH ...firstly I'm biased because I hate show-tunes but that chortle/laugh is the worst I ever heard
I have all the time in the world for Whispering Bob ;love his Country music but his voice is the panacea for Insomnia
I can even handle Tony Blackbum for the Kitsch Smashy and Nicey Poptastic nostalgia of it all

Steve Wright.

Rhymes with Shoot On Sight for a reason.

Dominic

My son heard him going on about "serious Jockin' " on a Friday and said what a sad old cunt ........and he didn't even know who he was..............and that's a Factoid!

Sporky

I like Clemency Burton-Hill and Sean Rafferty.

Dominic

Don't they live at Riverside Cottage and do a lot of cooking ...............or is that another double -barrel

Sporky

That's Hugh Furry-Eatsitall.

The above two are both Radio 3.

Dominic

I'll Tee 'em up ....you hit 'em

Me too, although hearing Sean Rafferty interview someone is usually quite painful.

Not so keen on Suzie Klein though.

But the best thing on R3 has to be Record Review / Building A Library.

Mary Anne Hobbs on BBC6 Music is massively irritating and - of course - Chris Evans....

sinbaadi

Jeremy Vine is an insufferable, condescending, rude, patronising arse.  He's like BBC'S version of Jeremy Kyle.  There is no issue he won't demean with his own brand of smug, self-gratifying bull-shit.

Those bits they have at the moment where he's reading some "comedy" links..... Jesus.

Dominic

He was a nasty piece of work to the young Black girl who he had a bust-up with on the road .......got her put in prison ;a 22 year old kid........bet he felt a proper man after that

I like his bumbling style.

Can't agree more. Same show since 1980ish.....Mr Spoons.....angry old lady.....sycophancy

don't listen to UK radio it's a character of a Little Britten sketch, RTE is in an other league.

Berry is a vast improvement on the previous two who had the drivetime slot on Absolute. Geoff Lloyd and Annabel. He just had a ludicrous thought process and she was a sycophant and I'm sure he deliberately aired really controversial opinions just to see if she'd agree (ie rockstars shagging 13 year olds, pre Saville).

Greg James on BBC-R1, does this cunt ever shut up? Waffling on about endless bollocks.

I do love the Absolute breakfast show, haven't heard it in years due to shift changes but I used to laugh like a drain during the 6-7am slot.

I used to like Dewsbury on Team Rock, he’d been a guitarist in a metal band at some point and had some good gig related stories. He played some great music on his show too. 

Pet hates: Steve Wright and Vanessa Feltz.

Although annoying, I find Vanessa Feltz remarkably astute.

Yes, she’s obviously very smart but I hate the way she’s so overbearing and talks over people. Her “I came from a humble background, we were poor as church mice” schtick grates too; her father owned a factory and she comes from a rather swish part of the London suburbs. 

Dominic

Yes, Hampstead
