I have one word to describe him.
Oaf.
No Radio 2 for me until four now.
Vernon Kay?
A wanker AND a pansy apparently.
Oh, and a wimp, and 'not a real man'.

Re: Vernon Kay?
Is Sing Something SImple still on the wireless?
I once had a whim and I had to obey it
To buy a French Horn in a second-hand shop;
I polished it up and I started to play it
In spite of the neighbours who begged me to stop.

Re: Vernon Kay?
The theme tune playing reminds me of Sunday evening and being sent off for my weekly bath 'cos next day was school day. It marked the end of the weekend (boo) and thought of the week ahead (double boo). I really didn't like school. Or baths.

Re: Vernon Kay?
Has much changed in the intervening years?
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.

Re: Vernon Kay?
Do you know what Jules? I would enjoy school now, I loves a bit of learning, me. As for baths, I could never see the point in laying in one's own dirt. I prefer a shower.

Vernon Kay asked 100 hundred hippos "Do you prefer lazing in a stagnant pool of mud or having a shower...".

Re: Vernon Kay?
Radio Two are not covering themselves in glory here.
Ken has been part of the BBC for 45 years. They have decided in their wisdom to finish him three weeks early, so he's leaving this Friday.
You'd think they'd treat someone who's worked tirelessly for them for all that time better.

It was the other stuff (people) that I hated.

Re: Vernon Kay?
The best thing about Vernon Kay is that he's not Rylan, or DJ Spoony, who got a go in the chair at Christmas time.
That doesn't say much, but says it all, really.
In the good old bad old days of the BBC message board we used to berate Ken and his producer Gary Bones for the samey, predictable 70s/early 80s playlist. They seem like halcyon days now.

Re: Vernon Kay?
He has covered for Zoe a few times I didn’t hear it myself but Nobby said he was good. I may listen on a Monday. Give him a chance.
Re: Vernon Kay?
Yes, but there's good and there's good in comparison to Zoe Ball.
These are different things.

Well, I gave it a go today, as I can't bear the adverts. ("I sold ma caaar,,,").
He isn't too bad actually.
