On Radio 1 over the then recently released "Prime of Life" from Sleeps with Angels by Neil Young he sang 🎵People call me God but they don't remember Trans...it was worse than every record ever put out by the Nolans🎶

He had a trad guess the voice bit on GLR. One time I was listening as usual cos can't-miss radio, got my mother to call cos she knew who it was and he opened with "ARE YOU AN AUNT?"

That and the random Michael Alexander St John announcements such as, "Everybody get fat on cream" or the BBC Radio 1 Top 10.

If anybody can trace the source of the "Spam fry-ups" clip, I'll buy them several pints of foaming nut brown ale.

I want to know how much of that David Essex Horse With No Name cover version was his work. Where did Jim Broadbent come from?
