   Inspired by some of the comments about Steve Wright on the Radio 2 thread,

   Is there a lamer catchphrase in the world than "no G" on the already diabolically piss poor Serious Jockin 'feature'? "Dave from Skegness has emailed in, he's training for a marathon. That's serious runnin', no G!" I don't mind Steve Wright on the whole but that catchphrase makes me want to drive round to the BBC and take a coarse cheese-grater to his scrotum.

   There can't possibly be any crapper ones out there. Can there?

   There seems to be a few on here need to enrol for anger management, grate some carrot or maybe cheese but not someones scrotum that would nip

   I abhor Mr Wright’s “love the show” catchphrase.

   Clearly no-one “loves the show”, it’s a phrase he’s concocted and added to the 6 emails he receives from “listeners”

   Not sure about a cheese grater, a vice would be more effective because as it got tighter his voice would squeal up an octave and he’d sound like he’s in a chamber full of Helium (which would make for a far more interesting “show”)

   “No W”

   Jesus Christ how do you not just use spotify or podcasts or a playlist of mp3's on your phone?

   No, I just listen to various other channels on digital now, but for quite a while choices were limited

   Sorry, this was intended to be a catchphrase discussion, not a Steve Wright dissection.

    Turned over the other week, was about to run a piece on how to go vegan. If you need that explained...

    What does no G even mean?

    EDIT - wait, I get it. **** sake...

    Is there an age when through some rite of passage you have to tune into Radio 2 at least once by law? I'm crashing towards 46 at an alarming rate and can honestly say I've never ever listened.

    I guess there is a potential I'l like it - but that scares me. As Jimjam says spotify might have turned up at just the right time to save me.

    Wrighty and the posse were great in the eighties ("don't get crushed or mashed", etc) but his game hasn't really evolved.

    Although to be fair, nothing about the show was piss poor.

    His pay should be docked for all the minutes he wastes playing those endless jingles. And for the lack of effort he puts in by reading stuff out of the papers and the radio times. And getting someone to read out those bloody factoids.

    Perhaps if people just stopped listening rather than listening then moaning the beeb might finally come to its senses and get shot of him.

    I used to use his show as an example of how not to do it when teaching radio production over 25 years ago. Can't believe he's still getting away with it.

    Gives even local radio presenters a bad name.

    Did the guy in the bottom pic eat Steve Wright...?

    No worries if so - I could not listen to his show. Aural vomit. His programme wasn’t good in the 1980’s and having caught 5 minutes of it a couple of years ago, it’s now considerably worse.

    As for “No G”, has he changed his name to Steve Wriht?
