It's not just me

You probably think it's really easy to sit here and blog about what a cunt George Lamb is... and you'd be right, because he IS a cunt. But don't take my word for it, here's some other people who think he's a grade A cunt too.

More hate for the Lamb

Comedian Richard Herring on his blog shows his distaste for Lamb over the Davies interview

http://www.richardherring.com/warmingup/warmingup.php?id=2161

He chose to use this opportunity to ask Davies a load of stupid fatuous questions of the "complete this sentence" or "spell this word" variety. For a minute or so, Davies hides his annoyance and gamely has a go at responding, but not surprisingly when he realises that 6Music are going to waste his time and this wonderful opportunity to actually ask some real questions, he bows out with some dignity by pretending the phone line is too bad for him to be able to hear what's going on. He would have been well within his rights to say "What the fuck are you doing? Do you have any idea who I am? You have five minutes to talk to one of the greatest songwriters of the 20th Century and this is how you choose to fill it - are you a cretin?" But he doesn't do that. He quietly takes his leave.

Another broadcaster might have felt embarrassed by this turn of events, possibly apologised, but surely had the decency to simply pretend that they hadn't been able to get Davies back, but Lamb, filled with self-importance, clearly thinking he has more talent than the writer of "Waterloo Sunset", decides instead to deride him. As if the whole debacle was Davies' fault. It is one of the most genuinely offensive pieces of radio I have ever heard and if the BBC had any fibre, the controller of the station should have called Lamb into his office the very minute the show was over and given him his P45. Instead he seems to be getting festooned with awards. Ah well. Perhaps he is right to be furious with someone for having the audacity to think that his dumb questions were a waste of time.

Remember kids, your license fee goes to pay Lamb's wages for being on the radio.

A list of preferable listening

Here is a list of things that sound better than the George Lamb radio show:


1. Vomiting
2. Hearing the news your child has terminal leukaemia
3. That noise the Commodore64 used to make while loading games
4. George W Bush
5. Your alarm on Monday morning
6. A dentist's drill
7. Every episode of Sex and the City back-to-back
8. Microphone feedback
9. The four minute warning
10. A child learning to play the violin for the first time
11. Train wheels scraping against the track
12. A four week caravaning holiday around Birmingham

Lamb = Lame

It appears even his fellows DJ's at 6Music have no respect for Lamb's 'talents'.

More evidence

Found this interesting piece written about Lamb here:

http://muttonhead.wordpress.com/2008/02/18/get-george-lamb-off-6-music/

For me the most abhorrent stench from this unflushable stool came today. I had his show on again like someone who repeatedly sticks their finger in a plug socket. He was talking about Apocalypse Now and one of the thicket of cronies he surrounds himself with started talking about the book, “Heart of Darkness” on which it is based. The guy said the book was set in Africa somewhere, seemingly embarrassed by the unwelcome, uncool intellectual implications of revealing this knowledge. Immediately Lamb set upon him jeering that a film about the Vietnam War could not be based on a book about Africa. Another crony then corroborated the first’s statement adding that the book was set in the Congo.

Did Lamb graciously acknowledge his mistake? Did he take on board this new information and perhaps encourage more talk for the benefit of the listener?

No, he took the opportunity to demonstrate his own area of expertise as he recited, alone, the entire song from the ‘Um Bongo’ commercial.

Staggering!


By the way, if you have any examples of Lamb cuntery feel free to share and I will post them onto the blog for all to see and enjoy.

How Lamb made it onto radio

You're probably wondering while you're smashing your radio between 10am and 1pm, how did George Lamb make it onto 6Music when it's so apparent, even to the deaf, that he has no talent whatsoever? Well there is a simple and honest answer to that question and here it is:

Lesley Douglas. Douglas, the controller of the 6Music radio station wanted to broaden the demographic of its listenership because as she saw it, "women were more "emotional" about music, while men tended to be interested in its "intellectual" side". So she brings in Lamb who is considered by superficial females and certain sections of the retarded media circle to be "fit". Talent and music nous were no longer a requirement to be a DJ on what is, after all, a music station (hence its name). So out went music fanatic Gideon Coe on the morning show and in came Lamb, a gurning buffoon who thinks music is something nice you find playing over adverts on TV.
There are also some questions to be answered over Douglas' appointment of a large proportion of DJ's while head of Radio 2, and now 6Music, from one solitary agency - the John Noel Agency, of which George Lamb is one.
