Had the misfortune to listen to this bloke at lunch time. Could replace him with a chimp and you'd get more intelligent noise. Actually felt sorry for Andy Townsend having to work with this**.

How do these people hold down well paid jobs?

He was certainly there before Townsend, so Andy must have known what he was getting into when he agreed to work with him.

Porky is blessed with the innate ability to make anyone he talks to feel like an intellectual. An ability that should not be underestimated.

Talks a lot of rubbish (obviously plays up to some of it), but he's very amusing. Before Christmas he was claiming that because of inflation (and low interest rates) money saved under the bed is worth more than money saved in the bank a year on. Even when somebody emailed in and correct him he insisted on 'knowing about these things'. Poor sod Townsend had to take his word for it because he was none the wiser

Talksport listners like him because they can feel superior to someone off the radio.

I listen to him every day now. I swicthed off 5live as I don't like their new format. Sometimes I actually laugh out loud at some of his banter

A hero to many who revel in the relatively new cultural phenomenon whereby ignorance is something about which one should be proud.

His man-in-the-streetisms, the claim to be knowledgeable about everything, the rejection of expert opinion in favour of 'common sense', all part of the same dysfunction.

A standard bearer for society's morons.
