    Esther was on with Hook during the week talking about Wimbledon, she said he knows about everything he was talking about old matches that she hadn't even heard of and Sean's reply was along the lines of "No one remembers anything before 1950 and George makes all those stories up, it sounds like a historical reference but it's totally out of his imagination" :pac:

    Is this tech guy a regular on Moncrieff? They seem to have one on every daily NT show, it's hard to keep tabs on them all...

    Alan Shatter is reading poetry right now, this is surreal.

    Be thankful it isn't the 'hot' scenes from his novel...

    Really miss paolo (R.I.P), the one who is on now has never heard of people trying to cook fish in the dishwasher. I was never that interested in the food items in the food slot, much preferred the stories and attempts at new dishes from paolo

    Probably some American fairy.
    Why so many Americans on this show? Usually spouting bullsh1t too.

    Just coming here to express the same sentiment...

    Usually I like the show but I had to switch off when she came on. She gets loads of air time on this show... Why? Is there really demand for her?

    Her greatest Claims to fame were flogging sofas, getting plastic surgery and being comically bad at slane without a hint of self-awareness.

    Am I the only one who finds her an unbearable, self-regarding bint?

    Usually, Moncrief gets really interesting guests on. Are they personal friends or something?

    Similar levels of self-regard, but at least Mr.Hewson backs it up with some discernible talent.

    Steve Albini once described the David Bowie effect - "I can sing, therefore I can act and paint". In David Bowie's case he could actually do one of those three things.

    Amdanda Brunker seems to think, "I have a media profile, therefore I can write and present and sing and and and and..."

    Amdana Brunker, the only reason you have any profile is because hacks like Barry Egan (who are just as big a waste of skin as yourself) have nothing better to fill out the columns of their wearisome "goss" pages.

    Brunker said Paris Hilton is one of the biggest Dj's in the world but she's only famous because of a sex tape, someone remind me again of the musical talent Amanda showed to get a slot at Oxegen :o

    I have a lot of time for Sean, usually enjoy the show but that's a ridiculous response.

    "You don't like my airhead guest therefore you hate all women".

    He was doing seriously unfunny April Fools Day gags recently and I tweeted I was switching to BBC Five Live and would be back tomorrow. He replied telling me not to bother as he only wanted listeners with a sense of humour.

    I've obeyed his wishes.

    It's still OTT but I suspect Sean's response was coloured by PóL's previous tweet:

    Probably true regarding the tweeter, but in previous occasions I've seen him attack tweeters or listeners who have dared to criticise Amanda Brunker. I just don't understand why they have her on if she is so unpopular?

    That texter accusing him of being gay was just bizarre.

    McKean is in America covering the Special Olympics and he still manages to find time to interview junkies/homeless people.

    Still struggling to find out what his role in the stations actually is. It must be the cushiest number that there is going. Does he have dirt on DOB or something?
