malc d Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 I thought it was good news until I found out that he is not leaving until July. I should think by now he must have enough of our TV licence fees to retire completely. :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J9withdogs Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 About time too..I think he is a self-opinionated twit who just likes the sound of his own voice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I heard this bit on the news, I commented that they were thinking of the wrong bit of anatomy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mel B Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 I wonder if he's got a better offer, or if he's been 'encouraged' to leave. He was on 'The Big Fat Quiz of the Year 2009' (or whever it's called) where he was paired up with the other idiot, Russell Brand. Lets just say whoever put the two of them together again wants shooting - I'm surprised that it was permitted at all. Russell Brand was his usual insulting and egotistical self, trying to hog the limelight with stupid comments and Jonathan just sat there sniggering like a naughty school boy. I'm certainly glad that my licence fee won't be going towards his upkeep soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howie Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Really entertaining and witty on shows such as 'they think it's all over', but sadly his ego outgrew his talent and should have been booted out over that Sach's debacle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davenewellhome Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 ohgrandma - 2010-01-07 1:24 PM Good news. but, have we really got to wait until July. :'( Ria. No Ria, we can turn him off for now, I find Kerrang radio is a big improvement on Wossy's drivel (other radio stations are available). D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Dwight Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 The Beeb were going to half his salary by cutting his air time. There is some good news in the year anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flicka Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Tonight's news says the BBC offered him an 80% salary cut, effectively giving him no option but to refuse the offer & leave. WHY did they not do that after his debarcle last year. Good riddence in my view, he has an ego as big as his pay packet. But I doubt his ego will reduce to the same level as the current BBC offer. Trouble is, I will not be surprised if ITV or SKY, make him a ridiculous money offer in the misguided belief that he will pull in the viewers. Or will be be a contestant in next year's "I'm a celebrity, get me out of here"? At least we as licence payers, will no longer be paying his salary.

malc d Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 CAB - 2010-01-07 11:12 PM Can we look forward to a reduction in the licence fee? I think it should be reduced anyway - we know that the BBC is awash with money. :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 And I thought I was the only one who didn't like him. The recession has hurt a lot of people so far. But just once in a while you get a story like Ross's exit to cheer us up. The best bit is that we get to savour the news now, and again when he goes, and probably a third time when they do 'The best of ...' show although that will need an awful lot of padding to make it more than the length of one of the good old interludes. With Big Brother also going, dare I dream that this is the start of the end of the vacuous celebrity culture? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syd Posted January 11, 2010 Author Share Posted January 11, 2010 The louder the presenters of any program are on their program the more infantile those presenters usually turn out to be. Loud and vulgar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
