He is a supposed to be a professional DJ yet behaves like he does in the pictures provided on page one? Why and how has this man got a job?

I actually met JAMES WHALE once at Radio Aire in Leeds back in 1987.
Sat in on his show for three hours when he did his 10pm-2am show on the said station.
What a man, can get very angry, he threw a vinyl(!) record across the studio because he'd already played it. I was only 16 at the time.

I was listening to Jaunty once,when he was plugging his live show and trying out 'jokes' - well one of the 'jokes' was to humiliate the poor traffic girl by asking if she had her American Knickers on........ One Yank and they are down.......... The poor girl did'nt know what to say,I felt sorry for her.If it was me I would of told him to shut his smutty mouth and say sorry there and then live on air or just walk out and go and see my manager to report the matter.
At the end of the day shes only trying to do a job,not be a side kick and made out to be a floosie on national radio?Maybe Iam just an old fuddy duddy,but had she been my daughter I would of gone up there and given the creep a piece of my mind.I only listen to him now waiting for his next gaff.

Hallo - and I agree with everything you said, new person. It's why I hate prank calls, if they are genuine, then using a poor mug who is just trying to do a probably pretty dull job to the best of their ability to poke fun at them and be the butt of the nation's "joke" is crass and I don't think the BBC should allow it. But then the Scott Mills show would have no material so that could be a problem.

He could go back to how his show used to be before the prank calls and before Laura. I'd listen then.

Really? I doubt that even flowers would listen to his show, unless they're there against their will, of course.

It has been suggested that he has plants in the audience. Gaunty? Stick plants in the audience to ask questions? Naaaahhhh don't be daft.


Its sounds just like I imagined it to be,are there any more reviews out there?

His latest perv was to ask the news girl to pull her knickers down so he could whip her bum,look the girls just doing a job,a job that dosent pay much more than mine,she is in no position to reply,nor would she ever imagine someone would say something like that live on national radio.

I am no longer listening waiting for his next gaff,I am waiting for Talk Sport to force him to resign,there must be some rule out there that says he cant do this,I know for a fact that if I was to go into my office at work and say that kind of stuff I would be sacked straight away with out a shadow of doubt.More to the point I wouldnt even think about talking to a female co-worker in such a manner.

Why people read the sun is beyond me.

How they can get away with calling it a 'news'paper is also confusing.

I think people buy it because it's easy to read. I like the Independent now that it's tabloid size though.

A hundred pages? In the Sun? Catherine go retake your GCSE maths! I think you may need to learn how to count.

Right...there is 86 pages in the sun and the favourite pull out which is 16 pages. You do the maths.

I love the Guardian.

Mainly because Charlie Brooker writes for it. :D

I like the Independent - except on Sunday - interesting, unique articles, great crossword (the quick one) and fabulous reviews.
