Can't believe people hate Ken Bruce!! I am affronted!!! Grin

Evans - dick. Vine - cockwomble. Wright - utter fucking bellend. Mayo - stories and confessions are absolute bollocks. Never happened.

SW is unbearable to listen to. I sometimes think oh I'll give him a try, he can't be that bad and I think the longest I lasted was 16 minutes. I can't even do 1 minute of his serious jockin' bullshit. Who the fuck listens to him and enjoys it? And who are these people who text in to say 'they love the show'? What the fuck is wrong with them?

shakeyourcaboose · 16/03/2018 17:45

@puppymonkey how bloody boring and self indulgent! Had always hoped it was something actually witty- really, why am l surprised it's not!

AJPTaylor · 16/03/2018 17:48

i thought i had slipped into hell this morning. i innocently switced on r2 to hear, i think, Ken Bruce and Ricky Gervaise. Jeez.

faceremovinghaircream · 16/03/2018 17:50

Serious cringin.

84CharingCrossRoad · 16/03/2018 17:56

I was on JVs show last year. He for some unfathomable reason took the day off so I spoke to the wonderful Paddy O Connel and the lovely Dr Sarah Jarvis....

MozzchopsThirty · 16/03/2018 17:56

I love it

And I love the fake Jeremy vine he has on 🤣🤣🤣pmsl

MozzchopsThirty · 16/03/2018 17:58

Ps agree with the kids phoning in Chris Evans
I barely give a shit if my own dcs are going to a dance class let alone some random 🤣

The80sweregreat · 16/03/2018 18:00

I hate it - have to turn him off!

MozzchopsThirty · 16/03/2018 18:01

Ken Bruce is hideous!!!!!

PelvicFloorClenchReminder · 16/03/2018 18:05

He is slightly less annoying than Chris 'Nobby Nobhead' Evans. Radio 2 should hand over both of their shows to Zoe Ball and Sara Cox. Permanently.

littlepill · 16/03/2018 18:06

I have a love-hate thing with the Steve Wright show but agree that most of it is cringey and he should step down. The show is so dated!

I love Ken Bruce Smile Sad about Lynne thingy leaving but I always get her mixed up with Sally Traffic.

Can't BEAR Chris Evans but I still listen Grin That horrible Tarzan yell when the show first starts, all the NOISE, and his condescending & self-absorbed ways drive me bonkers. Sometimes I do like his chit chat, but generally he fits in too many words, too quickly, between his breaths.

Trottersindependenttraders · 16/03/2018 18:08

Whoa there, hang on a cotton picking minute. I get that SW is an aquired taste but Ken Bruce? Ken Bruce is the man. I will hear no more dissing of King Ken. Thank you. As you were.

DioneTheDiabolist · 16/03/2018 18:14

I wish Terry Wogan was still alive.Sad Fuck it, I'd be happy if they played old recordings of his show. Properly funny.

Nanny0gg · 16/03/2018 18:19

NO ONE can diss Ken Bruce, I love him! His chat has a calming effect and makes me feel all content and at ease. Gutted Lynne is going, I’ll miss their patter.

WHAT??? What is this news? Cannot be true!

She is the only travel newsperson with wit and decent chat. Where is she going?

EveryoneTalkAboutPopMusic · 16/03/2018 18:23

I wish Terry Wogan was still alive.sad Fuck it, I'd be happy if they played old recordings of his show. Properly funny.. This! Whoever thought of sacking Terry and putting that self inflated idiot in his place needs sacking.

The only time I listen to the breakfast show is when Sara Cox is doing it. I’m rapid,t getting the same with “the big show”. Live it when Craig Vharles takes over.

EveryoneTalkAboutPopMusic · 16/03/2018 18:24

Lynne is going? No!!!

mydogmymate · 16/03/2018 18:25

She hasn't said were she's going, maybe she should take over Steve Wright's show. Will he ever retire??
Why don't the BBC take on board what the listeners want? MN is huge and most people don't like Chris Evans, so why is he still on? ( and earning £2 million a year of OUR money Angry

CanIBuffalo · 16/03/2018 18:26

I love Steve Wright because he's the reason I now listen to Audiobooks on my drive home. I really look forward to storytime now and I'm nice and chilled before I get home.
So thanks for that Steve.Flowers

CanIBuffalo · 16/03/2018 18:28

She's coming to Radio Wales and doing her on Sunday afternoon show and I bet when she's got her hand in she will get bigger and bigger on that station. I hope so as I really would rather listen to her than Twatty Evans of a morning

Trialsmum · 16/03/2018 18:30

Oh god I hate him with a passion 😡. Just reading this thread has given me the rage’ dh has it on when we’re going away in our camper van so I haven’t had to hear it for a while but this has brought it all back 😡. Seriously how can he think it’s cool to announce that there’s no g?? And why on earth do people think it’s cool to join in??

CotswoldStrife · 16/03/2018 18:34

I miss Terry too.

I couldn't download today's show just yet, but I did download a different one which enabled me to skip the speaking bits and just listen to the music. Serious fast forwardin'

mydogmymate · 16/03/2018 18:36

I hope so too buffalo. I'm a bit lost for what to listen to in the morning because Chris I'm a luvvie Evans does my head it Angry

PuppyMonkey · 16/03/2018 18:41

I must confess, I do find the Jeremy Vine and Paul Mcartney impressions very funny. Whoever is doing those voices, hats off to you. I googled it the other day, must find the link.

Had a big argument with DP as he was saying: “OMG, Jezza is getting way over the top these days.” I said “you do realise that’s not him, it’s a joke?”Hmm

DP kept saying it was definitely him. The big twat. Grin

SW is so irritating, I can't bear to listen to his show. He actually thinks he's hilarious, and he's absolutely not. R2 really do need to get rid of the twunt.

I can just about listen to CE, except on Friday's when he's fawning over celeb guests. His show is much more enjoyable when Sara Cox is doing it.
