Windsock · 26/07/2012 14:09

oh god he is like an embarrassing uncle
as for steve wright i just turn it off

Geordieminx · 26/07/2012 14:10

I like Chris Evans of a morning Blush

CogitoErgoSometimes · 26/07/2012 14:10

Old 'Shagger' Tarrant.... ???

Mintyy · 26/07/2012 14:13

Turned him off for the nth time yesterday for saying stupid things in an interview. It is his job to get the interviewee talking, not to flirt and fawn and jabber on needlessly all over it all. Richard shoot me now Madeley is the same. Why do these buffoons still have jobs? I dislike Tarrant marginally more than I dislike Jo Wiley and that is saying something!.

slartybartfast · 26/07/2012 14:17

perhaps the powers that be gave him a specially good playlist, to make up for his annoyingness.

Urgh, Chris Tarrent is beyond awful.

catus · 26/07/2012 14:18

In the nicest possible way, you need help!

CogitoErgoSometimes · 26/07/2012 14:18

It's hardly the kind of ringing endorsement that he's going to use on the back of his next book is it? .... 'Tarrant. I don't find him annoying'

I like Chris too.

I used to love listening to Steve Penk, and the wind ups. Used to make work more bearable.

slartybartfast · 26/07/2012 14:24

shall we form a Group MrsV

I can listen to him - which is more than I can say for Steve Wright

maybejusttheone · 26/07/2012 14:24

I only like Chris Tarrant because he is not Steve Wright.

I do like Simon Mayo though.

Nanny0gg · 26/07/2012 14:25

YANBU.
First time I've heard Millie Jackson played on R2 (or on the radio at all for that matter) in years.

He's been really good.

And he's not Steve Wright, which is a major plus.

slartybartfast · 26/07/2012 14:27

exactl, or steve wright's side kicks

aargh

Those playbill accolades are getting longer... Hope his agent is reading. 'Tarrant... he's not Steve Wright'

Right now listen to him again.

Count how often he inhales in over his teeth.

That's why I can't listen to him.

And Jo Wiley is soporific.

But worse, don't get me started on the bore-fest that is Lisa Tarbuck.

LottieJenkins · 26/07/2012 14:34

Anything is better than the inane witterings of Mr "love the show Wright"!! Wink

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 26/07/2012 14:39

I've never heard it so I can't comment.

In general, though, I think he's a smug shiny-faced 'arent-I-clever-and-hilarious' twat.

I can't bear Steve 'Yeah, when I was at that really obscure indie gig in 1988 ...' Lamacq on 6Music. Or Simon 'I'm not really interested in films and I'm terminally and boringly pedantic and obtuse' Mayo on the Kermode and Mayo film review show.

Or Scott 'Hahahahahahahahaha' Mills on R1. You're. Not. Funny.

Or John 'I'm as good as Paxman' Humphrys on Today on Radio 4. You're not. You're just unnecessarily rude and obstreperous. Shut up.

I do like loads of DJs though, honest. Including Chris Moyles and just about everyone on 6Music apart from Lamacq.

I love Sara Cox but I can't stand the shite music she plays.

MrsVamos · 26/07/2012 14:41

And breathe, Lady. Grin

I don't think there's enough for a group, slarty.

Maybe we should have just kept it secret ? Smile

Liketochat1 · 26/07/2012 14:42

I can't move on from Chris Tarrant deceiving his wife for all that time. I can't warm to him.
