Simon Young Back on the Radio

essdee

Great to hear that Simon Young has made it back to the radio. Did anyone hear the show today? I missed it. Will definitely be tuning in to hear it next week.

The Muppet

That is great news, I didn't catch it either but wish him well.

Got a chance to hear some of his show today and he sounded great. Plenty of his vintage gags between the tracks:

Talking about a psychiatrist "Never trust a man with a bed in his office."

His first mobile disco was called "Wings" - it never really got off the ground.

He wondered if people in Australia ever refer to us as "Up over" since we refer to them as being "down under."

And if there's a 50-50 chance of getting something right, there's a ninety per cent probability that you'll get it wrong.

Keep throwing them out Simon!

I'd forgotten he had disappeared off the radio. By the looks of things he's been to hell and back. :eek:

So likeable a presenter you just couldn't get annoyed by him. Plus, he used to present a show on 2FM in the early 90s which featured some great 70s disco and soul.

I heard it recently, load of tosh to be honest ,in my opinion.

About as much substance as a mouse's fart.

Good lord you think this is funny. Never liked the chap on the radio, but wish him well after all his trouble. Seems like he's had a rough time.

Didnt know he was the voice of "Jimmy" who used to speak to Ian Dempsey in the mornings. I remember listenin to that on the school bus!

General Zod

fair play to the guy, been through a rough couple of years, good to see him getting himself back together.
