I find him tiresome and silly.

I find it.. ironic? irritating? that they culled middle aged men (Steve Wright, Simon Mayo, Ken Bruce) and replaced them with slightly younger, infinitely less appealing middle aged men (Vernon, Rob, Paddy, Romesh, Scott). I was not a fan of SW or KB, but god they were a million times more listen-to-able than this new horde.

Yeah, I completely agree. He leaves me cold, along with Josh Widdecome. Both have ruined many a panel show imo.

Well don't listen then!

I don't. However I've had him forced on me at someone's house. I really don't care what listeners have got in their oven.
