I have a hunch that Richard Bacon will join Radio 2 in the near future? I do think he would fit in nicely. It was said that he should have taken over Breakfast on Capital Radio London?

I mean he is the young tonic for the building of the network, just alongside Dermot etc etc..

You keep saying this Mark and it's never happened. Hopefully it never will - he's useless, annoying, and every show he does is a flop.

Who the heck is Richard Bacon? another one from some London station I suppose?

Yes, he's on some minor London station after being dumped from a big London station. He's also occassionally on 5Live and currently presents the digital spinoff from Castaway - so, big time presenter then!

A stint on the breakfast show on BBC7 was met with near-universal derision by listeners, but the guy continues to get work - mainly because of his "fame." He is best known for being sacked from Blue Peter after taking drugs.

He's been covering for Matthew Bannister this week on Five live. He has left XFM.

The ex-junkie covering for the ex-hatchet man. The joys of public service broadcasting.

I caught Mr Bacon on Monday - all he could prattle on about was caravans

Mark, you seem to listen to far too much radio and it's not good for you. That Bacon bloke is a twit.

PS: Carrot cake. Now you're crunching!
