bloody purple tyranna..  tyranos.. tyranus.. er Dinosaur



Oh my God, Heart FM and purple dinosaurs have both been mentioned in one thread.

Purple dinosaurs = BARNEY.

Barney= the most sanctimonious, politically correct drival that has ever been offered to the kids in the entire history of television and radio. If you ever catch the your kids or grand children watching it, turn it off! Or they will be psychologically damaged for life.
Shooting's to good for him, large meteroite on the head would do, it worked for the rest of them.

Off to take my valium now :)

Actually the dinosaur was called PoshPaws!



But it seems like the colour was popular  :o

Barneys dad, his offspring is the pits. Should be at the bottom of a tar pit at least ;)

If you ask me, that little dwarf Bruno Brooks takes some beating.
Or did he dish out the beating...to his ex wife I seem to recall.
Another one that used to get my goat; Ed "Stew Pot" Stewart and the bloody dog Arnold.

Bruno Brooks used to occasionally pop into my local pub in East Grinstead. A funny place, I also saw Gareth Hunt, Brian Murphy (out of George and Mildred) and Rula Lenska (just post-divorce from Dennis Waterman) in there over the years.

Anyway, stumpy Bruno Brooks was a tosser, but I have to take my hat off to him. I don't condone hitting women but, well, it was Anthea Turner he gave a slap to, so in a way it's kind of justifiable.

Nobby, I think Arnold belonged to Blackburn not Ed Stewart.

It may not be a popular view but i do have a grudging respect for Noel Edmonds, The Multi coloured swap shop, compared to the drival on offer today for kids, was a milestone. Plus as already stated he did put his hand into his pocket for the Panoz effort a few years back, he also owned a fleet of classic motors, including a GT40 that he used to use on the road.

To (or bottom) of DJs in my book has to be either Simon Bates for being mind boggling crap or Jonathan King, that is someone who needs a good kicking, and I suspect he may have had a few over the last couple of years.

While not the best the late Tommy Vance was light years ahead of these 2 and some of the others already talked about.

I've read all the crap about Noel Edmunds as well, in my book anyone who has the guts to put his hand in his pocket and dedicate time and effort into a team to race cars around LM for our entertainment deserves better than the comments in the posts above.

I had no idea he was so selfless, Jem - and there was me thinking he was just a self-important, self-promoting w**k*r.

The thing that really got right on my tits about all of these people was the projected attitude that they were some kind of influencers of our (my) generation. I fail to see how sitting in a studio in central London playing (or censoring, in the case of that totallly arrogant bastard Mike Reed) off the back of other peoples creativity, interdispersed with their own banal utterings and constant references to their farms and Range Rovers. In my opinion, they were all arseholes, with the exception of Kenny Everett - who wasn't daytime anyway....

All you youngsters forget that in the early years of Radio 1, the mid morning slot after Tony Blackburn's show was hosted by that DJ at the cutting edge of music.....Jimmy Young :o

I can't slag Noel either, after all he did do a feature on Swap  Shop on my racing hero. Stuart Smith, 6 times Brisca stockcar World Champion.

I had a drinking buddy back in Yorkshire called Frank Wainman - he was something of a roundy-roundy car basher, as I recall

Certainly is, still winning races as well. But not as many as his son Frankie Jnr who is the top racer at the moment and top chassis builder too.

For further confirmation that Edmunds is an Outspan of the highest order, let me quote a conversation from Radio Le Mans when him and Clarkson were there.

RLM: Are you having a good time?
NE: Yes, fantastic. I've been a fan of endurance racing for as long as I can remember, and this has to be the pinnacle.
(remember now, NE also has a GT40)
RLM: When was the last time you were at Le Mans?
NE: This is my first.

At that point, I tried to shag a pile of tyres.

They're only Dj's for chrissakes!

It's no wonder Cheggers hit the bottle hard! Him and Purple were together for quite some time weren't they?

And H... Are you sure it wasn't just one tyre with piles?
