I have heard you described by a number of radio journalists as 'fantastic talent'. By which they mean, I think, someone who can keep talking intelligently about interesting subjects without needing constant prompting. In the case of Newcastle, keeping talking whilst under water.
Pensioner beat me to it. I was also going to comment that Novacastrians might prefer your dulcet tones to those of rushing water.
Has John Laws' replacement been announced yet?
Not as far as I know. He's not going until November. If only they could get rid of Alan Jones while they're at it.
To the tune of Scotland the Brave
"I'm on the radio and I have a morning show
And I make a lot of dough yes great big amounts.
Tune in and let me clue you, quiet when I'm talking to you.
I'll have the final say and that's all that counts.
Fees for commercial lies,
that's how I advertise.
I'm paid for fly-spray
13 14 buy more mortein"
That will do. There's more. Sad point is it was written about John Laws in the 1970s! All that I can see that has changed is the sponsor, an dthe imminent passing of the baton to Jones.
