FreudianSlipper · 21/08/2012 15:03

is Steve Wright to be knighted campaign started by him can't believe anyone else thinks he should

complexnumber · 21/08/2012 15:05

I like him

cardibach · 21/08/2012 15:07

I have never been able to stand him. SO bloody self satisfied and up himself. All those bloody awful sycophantic people on with him. Stupid, stupid 'characters' with annoying voices. Complete lack of research/awareness of guests - I've heard him rponounce a guest's name wrong, even after correction, more than once.
Steve Wright is a prize twat YWBU not to be angry!

complexnumber · 21/08/2012 15:14

He did annoy me earlier when he cut short a David Bowie song I really like.

But on the whole he makes me laugh and I get a stupid sense of smugness when I hear him do or say something that I just know is going to rub certain mumsnetters up the wrong way.

(silly, I know)

JoshLyman · 21/08/2012 15:21

I hate the way he refers to his own show as 'the big show'. Seems conceited.

Lousmart · 21/08/2012 16:09

What cardibach said x 1000. Is he still on the same slot!? I was forced to listen to his show every day over 10 years ago by a colleague. Is radio 2 still got the same schedule? Bloody Hell Grin

Lousmart · 21/08/2012 16:11

Sorry, has radio 2 still got the same schedule? Blush

Tigresswoods · 21/08/2012 16:11

From the very first second when he says "ta". Angry

I fucking hate his show. Hi Steve, love the show yadda yadda.

His factoids are all bollocks, he spends all of his time singing over things, mispronouncing stuff, being smug about himself and his crap show, patronising his guests and generally being a thoroughly annoying and ridiculous barnacle on the arse of Radio 2. And Sunday bastard love songs can jog the fuck on.

He makes me irrationally, stabbily cross.

ShowOfHands · 21/08/2012 16:15

Oh Shirl, are you home darling? Sad

cherrypieplum · 21/08/2012 16:16

I hate radio 2!! I hated Terry fucking tin of tomatoes Wogan! I hate Steve wright. I hate the women with Steve wright who asks every guest if whatever they did was 'cathartic'. I most of all hate that Bruce man and his affected accent! It sounds like he's either putting in the posh or the Scottish accent. I can't tell which.

Mind numbing topics, crap dad music! Rage! I now have rage OP!!

ShirleyKnot · 21/08/2012 16:17

Hey Showy. Yes. Sad feel like I've never been away.

That Barry from Watfoprd r whatever it's called thing makes me LITERALLY grit my teeth. I hate it, it's all so very old fashioned - and not in a good way.

ShowOfHands · 21/08/2012 16:22

I'm sort of glad you're back. For me though, not for you.

It's bad vintage. The sort of retro which was shit at the time and now it's just festering. Apart from Ask Elvis. That's funny 8.6% of the time. I await the day the old woman flips out and does away with the smarmy wazzock.

cardibach · 21/08/2012 16:22

Yes. Barry from Watford should be shot immediately. alongside Steve bloody Wright and whoever thought of him.
I like quite a lot of the Radio 2 output - it isn't dad music if, like me, you have a dad who is 91! I find Simon Mayo's interviews interesting and intelligent. So why on earth do they still give bloody Wright house room?

ShirleyKnot · 21/08/2012 16:26

FACTOIDS!!! Did you know that Frogs actually mate through their MOUTHS! and now..Clannad.

It's like Alan Partridge.

ShowOfHands · 21/08/2012 16:29

I like Graham Norton too. And Aled. And Chris Evans is v cheery of a morning. I even don't mind old Jezza at lunchtime if I can play Daily Mail Bingo while listening. But Steve Wright I accidentally switch on in the car some days and sit there for a full five minutes stabbing a pointy finger at the radio and screaming "see dh, you bloody SEE DO YOU? HE'S AWFUL. JUST LISTEN TO THIS CRAP SEEEEEEEE?" Until dh switches over and hands me the brown paper bag.

ShowOfHands · 21/08/2012 16:31

After the break we're meeting the lovely and young Tom Daley- I can see him smiling from here- and finding out exactly how you get a medal in belly flopping. But first, I've Never Been To Me...

pissovski · 21/08/2012 16:34

absolutely loathe and detest Steve friggin Wright, mainly for the singing over the songs! no one tapes off the radio anymore - can he not get that through his thick skull!

Generally i like R2 - like Chris Evans and Ken Bruce (especially PopMaster) and don't mind Mayo and even Vine (sometimes) but I cannot stand Wright

MrsKeithRichards · 21/08/2012 16:38

So I'm not alone?!

You are not alone OP, and talking of not being alone, here's Michael Jackson and You are not Alone.
