I just listened to about 10 mins of the guy who's standing in for George tonight... Shawn something or other... 'Kin 'ell, what a boring, stuttering git. "We're... um... talking about.. um... big brother.."

Come back to us George!!

I've not even bothered tuning in - sounds like it was a good idea too...

wasn't he a guest on the show a couple of weeks back? I think he bored the arse off me then too. Please tell me George is back tonight?

The worst thing about him was that he had no idea that he was supposed to actually speak to the callers.

He'd say "ok, up now we have Fred from Sheffield, go ahead Fred"...

Then Fred would speak for about 30 seconds, making a point, and the presenter would just go "Erm... ok... up next we have Sharon from Leeds..."

I was thinking "For fucks sake, have a conversation with them!"
