Could someone please edit that post? I find the pictures on it distasteful and grotesque in the extreme.

I'm not sure that scoobynet should be linking to such disgusting images.

Agree about the pics.

However, its something to be able to afford to forgo 13 million quid cos you fancy going out on the beers with your missus!!

Apparently Virgin offered him £3,000,000.00 to keep his mouth shut for a year. Guess he doesn't need the money though.

At least that idiot Webbo seems to have disapeared.

Not living in the SE haven't come across Steve Penk before, so as yet don't have an opinion. Seems bareable so far.

I did used to like him, particularly on the Radio 1 breakfast show, but he's not moved on.

It's still the same cheap shots and it's boring.

He does have a talent, but it needs to grow.

Id go long with that
He has tried to stay relevant to *younsters*,if he grew up and started relating to *mid thirties* then I think he has the talent to produce some good stuff.

Steve Penk was the Chris Moyles of Capital Radio, infact Chris Moyles started on Capital and then luckily enough moved to Radio1 and so Penky took over. I really couldnt believe my luck when I found out he was going to Virgin radio, that means I wont have to listen to that tosser ever again. Just wait till he starts his very amusing wind-ups like the one where he phoned up Tony Blair pretending to be William Hague. Hilarious. Or when he phones some american hotel and acts the ar5s with them and they just dont get it.

Hurray for Virgin radio, saviour of Capital Radio.

**** -- I can't *stand* Chris Moyles so I presume I won't like Penky either. I've seen him on some crap TV show and he was a complete to55er.

Thumbs up

XFM , I'm tempted to go for incar DAB purely because of them, I'm not sure how they get away with the language though. I stopped listening to Virgin when they ditched Russ and Jono, but caught Evans a few times, I soon got fed up with his me, I, me etc.
