| Why Sarah Kennedy has her newspaper slot... | |
I just dont know, as she's incapable of both reading a paper and speaking about its contents to the listeners and so fills most of the feature with the words "ummm" and "errr". | |

The very one, middle class twit that she is. | |

Anybody have any idea how old she is - she's one of those people that I couldn't even hazard a guess?! | |

She's 56 according to Wikipedia. | |

Interesting - I'm sure on her Radio 2 show the other morning she said her husband was 41.................

Except she doesnt refer to him as "my husband" but some other wanky name, doesnt she call him her "SO" (Significant Other) or something. | |

| re: Why Sarah Kennedy has her newspaper slot. | |
Lizard, you've just got me well annoyed with that SO comment! | |

fatha drove me to the airport for an early flight last week so I had the misfortune to listen to her on Radio 2 in the car. The topic was "can men get cystitis?"... Fcuking painful listening.. | |

"SO." My God. That's worse than "partner." | |

"Kennedy has a partner, Adrian McGlynn, a director of horseracing's adminstrators, Weatherbys, whom she refers to as her "Much Beloved". He has become a popular character in the show. He is 16 years younger than Kennedy. They met at the wedding of Desmond Morris's son, where Adrian was Best Man." | |

Nee idea Lizard. Thankfully I reached the Airport before the listeners could flood in with answers.. | |
| The_Lizards_Jumpers Posted on 22/3 9:53 | |
| re: Why Sarah Kennedy has her newspaper slot. | |
That's it, her "much beloved". Grrrrr !!!! | |

| re: Why Sarah Kennedy has her newspaper slot. | |
"Her reworking of English words is a distinctive element of the show. She changes names as follows: "The Eaglingtons" (Eagles), "The Kinkingtons" (The Kinks), "Sainsbugs" (Sainsbury's), "Supermercado" (supermarkets as in Spain), "Bleatingtons" (Bleat) and so on." | |

| re: Why Sarah Kennedy has her newspaper slot... | |
"She frequently reads out the expression "SWs to you" from listeners who write in. "SWs" is shorthand for "Love the show"" | |

I suppose they have to give her a slot as early in the day as possible if gossip is to be believed... | |
| Piquet2 Posted on 22/3 10:11 | |
| re: Why Sarah Kennedy has her newspaper slot. | |
Very rarely am I up that early to listen to her, but on the odd occasion I have, she's much preferable to anything Radio 1 have to offer, Radio 5 would be preferred choice but the reception is crap, oh for a DAB radio in my car..... | |
| VodkaByName Posted on 22/3 10:20 | |
| re: Why Sarah Kennedy has her newspaper slot. | |
I cant bare the way she ends her show just about every morning.... 'We'll re-group tomorrow, if we're spared'

She was on "Game for a Laugh" with Beadle, wasn't she? | |

| re: Why Sarah Kennedy has her newspaper slot. | |
err, I kind of like listening to it occasionally on the way to work too [hangs head in shame], preferable to JK and Joel. Maybe its a sign I'm getting old (30 looms) or that I dont listen often enough to annoy me. For some reason I dont listen in the summer, just when its dark mornings, kind of suits the mood. | |

She was on "Game for a Laugh" with Beadle, wasn't she? She was and quite do-able at that time I think. Mind you I would have done Cheryl Baker from Bucks Fizz at that time too. :o\ | |

She did indeed Vinny, annoying fat bint that she is. | |

| re: Why Sarah Kennedy has her newspaper slot. | |
I agree - terrible state of affairs. I'll be getting a kite next. Swore I'd never listen R2, but moyles and scott mills are annoying. I still think wogan is a tool though. At least I retain some self respect. | |

On me way to work one mornig, few years back, sarah kennedy told a joke, Something along the lines of, ' the heart and the liver were arguing who was the most important and boss part of the body' the argument went on untill the rectum and the pancreas were left arguing,, anyway the rectum won the argument, so kennedy tales off with in her posh voice, 'so that goes to prove that all bosses are ar$e-holes :O i was totaly shocked as i wernt expecting it from such a posh sounding bird, in made the joke sound better | |

Sarah Greene lost some of her appeal after the helicopter ride with her husband. | |

| re: Why Sarah Kennedy has her newspaper slot... | |
She's a vacuous bint. The only way I'd ever listen to her was if Goffy In The Morning was the only other option (whatever happened to him?) Good to see Phill Jupitus is packing in on the 6Music Breakfast show too, I used to enjoy it, but now I get fed up of hearing 30 minutes of him playing stuff for personal gratification while I get ready for work. Occasionally he unearths a gem for me, but more often than not he is so self-indulgent that he bores me to tears. Anyone know who is lined up to replace him? Sarah Kennedy?

Sean Keavney. Who does one of the evening shows on 6 Music. Never heard him myself, but he's a northerner so that'll do for the moment. | |
| Piquet2 Posted on 22/3 13:55 | |

"Anyone know who is lined up to replace him? Sarah Kennedy?"......Alan Green and Chris Moyles

JK and Joel I believe are making the move to 6Music. | |

Sean Keavney is pretty good, to be honest. | |

Not Vic McGlynn, then? | |
