Perhaps it's just my age

I've not listened to his radio show.

Wink, wink, nudge, nudge eh. You're not as clever as you think you are brother, not by half.

I'd argue that they did none of the above as they did it for a Laugh

If someone shouted that down the phone, I'd be annoyed, inconvenienced and needlessly anxious. Laugh or not.

Mind you, I find prank phone calls about as funny as the Oncology ward at Great Ormond Street.

He shouldn't be allowed anywhere near a TV let alone a phone.

He should be rubbed with sandpaper and hoyed in a vat of salt.

Nothing to do with the phone prank I just can't stand the scruffy talentless ****.

His grin makes me want to set turtles on fire.

So to briefly summarise those who like him, like him and those who don't like him really ****ing hate him!

Think we'll need to agree to disagree on this one

I disagree but I'll agree on principle with your agreement on disagreementing.

Marmite it is then

But to be fair, i'm pretty indifferent on the matter

I think he can be a tosser at time or at least annoying (at which i just switch over) and other times he comes out with some pretty clever/funny/sharp stuff.

Obviously not, because I haven't got a clue what you mean.

I guess they'd agree with you as they clearly think it was a prank call. Not meaning to be offensive myself, but would you feel the same if they'd called you and insulted your family?
