LISTENER WORDS
WHAT NICK'S FAITHFUL LISTENERS HAVE TO SAY
Below are are a selection of comments from people over Nick's sacking - if you have a view you'd like put here, mail me now at IanCole@NickAbbot.com or simply fill in the form at the bottom of this page and I'll add it.
"Bounce back again somewhere Nick, you're entertaining which is something I can't say about a lot a radio presenters." Stuart Piggot
"GOD DAMN YOU MACKENZIE! The only shows on the radio that I really love and you go and take them away from me. First Nick, then Tommy, now i here about Carol, wendy and adrian. Sack ian and the creatures now as you obviously like self opinionated wankers as the whale and free thinkers like ian have no part in such dire crap. Nick, Tommy and Carol have brought me back to talk after a year of not listening between 96 and 97, and i will return to listen to the station when they are reinstated and my life is back in 1 piece! I HOPE YOU ALL ROT IN HELL, YOU COMPLETE FUCKING ARSEHOLES. GO AND STICK YOUR HEAD IN A BLENDER! " Harry T
"Kelvin MacKenzie is a patronising clueless self-opinionated feckwit - mind you, what can you expect from an ex-Murdoch lackey. Kelvin, dude, you're a big fat ass *and* your mom's a hermaphwodite." David
"Ditto everyone. First I noticed Peter Deely had gone all serious on us. Tommy and Nick were the main reasons for tuning in. How many times did you anticipate Nick at 7pm only to find bloody football instead. Perhaps this will be for the best as he might get a regular, uninterupted slot somewhere (Mr Evans??) If I want bloody serious, up its arse radio, I'll listen to the BBC. Mr McKenzie - PRAT." R Huxley
"I agree with a message I read somewhere, it might be an idea to pester old Ging' over at Virgin to give Nick his phones back - surely he can't refuse now - it's been proved that Nick's phone-in shows on Virgin were an audience puller. So send your pleas to Chris Evans - I've done so already !!!!" Carol
"As a mark of respect to Nick I am boycotting the station. Join me and e-mail the new management - MacKenzie and his cronies." Jodie The Roadie
"we need to do more stuff than moan to each other- we need to let others know. A few ideas: 1)Fax Talk at least once a day. 2)Get on as many shows as possible and pose as a caller and then complain about the Nick and Tommy situation. 3)Phone other radio/tv programmes and then complain on air. 4)Complain to the radio authority about James's Show-pathetic, but annoying. 5)Write to the papers. 'What do we want? Nick Back!! When do we want it? Now!' " Rob Franklin
"I still cannot believe Nick has gone off the airwaves and left a vacumn in my now sad life. He was the greatest." Mark Gratton
"WE WANT OUR NICKERS BACK NOW!!!! I thought Kelvin wanted to make some money out of the station - obviously not!! This is a stupid decision which has not only robbed us of Nick, the greatest talent in British radio, and his team but also of Tommy Boyd, who constantly produces original radio. Now there's a good arugement for divorcing Kelvin Macwanker of his bollocks." Blake Connolly
"If Nick increased the listeners in his time slot then why sack him? If Nick's gone then there a quite a few more that should have gone first. He will return just like he did before. I'm no longer listening to Talk Radio Mr McKenzie, you should have increased Nick's hours not reduced them!" Paul White
"Back to bland boring radio then.......I can't believe they have sacked Nick and Tommy, the best guys on the station!" Max Hailey
"Well, it was a really bad shock when I tuned in in Thursday to find that buffoon James 'Angry Man' Whale on instead of Nick - a real bummer dude!" Robin Lafosse
"As a dear listener, it fills me with shock to hear you've gone." Anon
"An absolute disgrace. Build up the ratings with an excellent show, and the reward? A sacking. Kelvin is the devil in disguise and should be castrated with a rusty hacksaw which had previously been used to remove the rump of a diseased cow." Chris
"We know where you live, Kelvin..." Anon
"Kelvin, stick your "new-look" station up your fucking bangle. You have sacked the best radio personality that this country has ever produced. I'm sure you know what you're doing though, let's look at your previous track record... News bunnies, topless darts, and the sun newspaper, a rag that isn't fit to wipe the dingle-berries from my rectum! Hope yuo get cancer in the head and die, you loathsome piece of shit." Neil Kennedy
"We are two presenters on an ILR in Bucks, and are appalled at this latest development, not only Nick, but Tommy Boyd too, who was consistently producing inventive radio. Talk Radio's best presenters have been wiped out in one evening. It stinks." Ian Noakes and Mark Chapple
"By sacking Nick Abbot, Kelvin MacKenzie has confirmed his status as a failure before he has even started. He's clearly a loser, and he hasn't got a clue. He's a loser baby, so why don't we kill him?" Anon
"I simply cannot believe this has happened! Sorry Talk Radio but you have lost another listener unless you bring Nick back." Raymond Liu
"I can't believe that this is happening again. It is just so damn sad and pathetic that they've got rid of Nick. I hate talk radio so much. This day just feels so much like back in 1995 when he just vanished from Virgin. I think it sucks so much that they can't even mention the name of the presenter ever again once they have been sacked. They could have at least let Nick do until the end of the week, or given us a farewell show. I agree that we should try and get him back on. If we all do something, not just sit there saying how bad it is. I am just so devastated, but we have to do something people! Let's show the bastards how much we all have an abbot habit. LONG LIVE NICK!" Lucy Bennett
"Imagine how Nick is feeling? He must be pretty bloody pissed off about it. I feel sorry for the guy. The way we're feeling now, we should all go to London, find Talk Radio and bomb the place - what a load of bastards the management are." Ian Cook
