abit of info i found..
Despite being born through an anus and educated at McDonalds, Tim speaks as if he belongs to a crack-dealing street gang from the south side of New York. Tim's father Bill, a Catholic priest, has put Tim's behaviour down to Satan switching Tim's soul with that of a black south-side ghetto boy some time in the 1980's, and vice-versa. This means that somewhere in the world there is a black south-side ghetto boy who acts like the angelic, slightly poofy son of a Catholic priest. He has yet to be found, if he is still alive.
Shortly after acquiring his new accent Tim moved to London and began a 5-year free-style busking marathon outside Virgin Megastore on Oxford Street. Senior BBC producer Andy Parfait, whilst shopping at Virgin for Enya box-sets, spotted Tim's enormous potential and hired him on the spot out of pity. Andy had been intending to take Westwood to the filming department for a documentary called Freaks on the Street, but, since Westwood was drunk at the time, he got lost at the BBC centre and stumbled into Radio 1's broadcasting studios instead. The rest is history.
Oh man, it's the big dog!!In 2002, the RAF attempted to enlist Westwood to help in the Afghan war. Senior RAF personnel had expressed the desire to strap Westwood to the underside of a jet so he could "drop the bomb" on Taliban positions with lethal accuracy. However, Westwood declined saying "that's not the way we get it in" and hoped that in the future, the RAF would "keep it real". Sources say that real reason behind Westwoods reluctancy in joining the war against the Taliban was that Westwood has substantial investments in Afghanistan's burka-industry.
he does actually have a business degree aswell

He pretends. Timothy is a public school boy and his father is the Bishop of Peterborough.
Amusingly a couple of years ago, he was talking about Glastonbury, which he inadvertantly pronounced "Glarston...: then quickly corrected to Glastonbury" with a short a. I nearly choked on my sandwich, but no one mentioned it. This shows that away from public view, the Big Dog drops his gangsta persona and reverts to speaking properly...

I used to hate this guy, but after watching a few of his interviews on YouTube i changed my mind. He is actually quite funny and doesn't take himself too serious, also he isn't shy to ask the questions others wouldn't dare.

IMHO the thing "where am I" on radio 1 is just a setup, like most BBC stuff these days.
I like the guy though. He can have a laugh at himself, and I respect him for that. He is also a major player in the music industry. You may not think so but soooo many records have only happened because of him.
The top 2 (hiphop) DJs in the UK are Westwood and Semtex. Both have probably every single major hip hop artist on speed dial.
What I really respect him for though is the fact that he really does try and bring the "anti" message home, be it drugs or guns etc.
He has not always been like that but over the last 10 years or so he has really done a lot of good work.
FWIW.

I'm in the same boat! Used to absolutely hate the guy, but now dont mind him so much - he pretty much takes the **** out of himself when hes on Moyles or Miles shows, and I think he does his own Sat night show pretty well. Ok I'm not a massive fan of the music, but it gets your attention and pretty much holds it!
He is bloody hilarious.

Sacha baron cohen actually based Ali G on him. As mentioned, it's all abit of an act but fair play to the guy, after getting shot in a drive-by he has indeed tried his best to put himself behind the anti-drugs/gangs/guns message.
10 bestselling albums, doesn't drink himself or take drugs and does a radio show at some prison as well, very successful and quite principled by the sound of it to me.
Exackly! Understand Dat!
