YES! YES! YES! …… YES! YES!!

6 July 2005 14:31

I was listening to the Olympic vote thingy on BBC Radio Five Live.

Nicky Campbell, the guy that actually makes me listen to the Today programme, was in Trafalgar Square. When the result came in he yelped, “YES! YES! YES! …… YES! YES!!” Then he thought he wasn’t on air. Then when he was told that he was on air he did it again. “YES! YES! I don’t care if I’m not on, I’ll do it anyway. YES! …… YES! YES!!” It was like Alan Partridge.

Then he stuck his microphone in the middle of other people’s interviews. “I got in a bit of trouble there; I was getting elbowed — but I stuck the Five Live microphone where it needed to be.”

I think if I saw Nicky Campbell on the street he’d be getting more than just elbowed. What a prick.

Update: Chicken Yoghurt on the same guy:

“I was welling up,” said the odious Nicky Campbell with his usual sense of perspective. What a girl. Christ knows what would happen to him if he saw something genuinely moving like raped children in Darfur or a holocaust museum – he’d probably explode in a lachrymose shower of snot.

Update: Heh! (Via.)

Comments functionality will seem a bit strange for a short while until I can find the time to fix it. Apologies.

    I hate London and I hate the government constantly wasting vast amounts of money on it. Absolute bollocks, the Olympics will make no difference to anyone in Britain BUT Londoners.

    I can’t imagine it making a good difference to Londoners when rents in Hackney go through the roof (pardon the pun)

    Ehh, thank goodness for devolution. My cooncil tax is high enough as it is, thanks.

    Still, all eyes on the UK today, eh?

    Indeed, the news channels are having a busy day!

    Thank god. Another person on whom Nicky Campbell has the same effect. I used to enjoy 5 Live in the morning, but similarly the cringe worthy ‘interviews’ that are conducted as a matter of routine now by Campbell and his idiot sidekick, have made me switch to Today.

    I would do a Campbellballs periodic post on the blog, but then I would have had to listen to his witterings. And as they say on EastEnders, “leave it aht, it ain’t wurf it.”

    You Win Some – You Lose Some

    Firstly, hearty congratulations to our neighbours in England on their successful bid to host the 2012 Olympics.

    Secondly:

    What’s happening to all the public football pitches at Hackney Marshes? Gone I presume.
