Ah, what a shame.
He seems like a genuine and decent man.
A wanker AND a pansy apparently.
Oh, and a wimp, and 'not a real man'.

A proper DJ, not like that Nick Grimshaw.
I know a man who taught his dog to play the trumpet on the London Underground.
He went from Barking to Tooting in an hour.

I've been expecting Bob to step down for a while. His prostrate cancer, which he's been living with for years, has spread to his spine. He had some complicated sounding - and positive - surgery when he was first off but he's obviously struggling to be fit enough.

I first remember him introducing TRex at Newcastle City hall in 1971, his calm, soft voice managed to be heard over the hordes of screaming girls....

I'm pleased Keaveney is taking over, he's a real music fan - and not a so called 'celeb'!

We need more proper music people on radio, rather than "celebrities" like that Rylan bloke.
