Andy Kershaw has to be the epitamy of uncouthness

[Bobbisox]

He was on Sky News last week reviewing the morning papers with his feet on the sofa with what appeared to be scruffy trainers and then this morning on Mathew Wrights programme, he was rude and kept butting into, so much so , he was 'told off' from the host because he told him to shut-up!
where do these people get off? were they never taught any manners as kids?

[Quassia]

Are you talking about Liz's brother bobbi?

[scotman]

Not seen or heard him recently except on Clive Anderson's 'Loose Ends' radio prog. He was much as you describe on that as well. He is very knowledgeable about music though.

[Bobbisox]

yes, thats him Quassia
I don't doubt it scotty but his manners are atrocious

[jackthehat]

He's had some quite well-documented 'personal' problems, of late.

The MWS will have had a fair idea of exactly 'what' they were going to get.

[Quassia]

Yes he can be bobbi. But I find him interesting! As scotman said he's very knowledgable about music. In fact I only googled the other day for a book he's just brought out ..http://www.waterstones.com/waterstonesweb/p

Bobbi, he's a Lancastrian for funks sake - they have no manners

[Quassia]

Yes he's had his problems. Alcohol and he split from his wife not too long back.

[merciasounds]

He's had a hard time the last few years, he's been in prison. the mother of his child (not sure if they were married or not) refused to let him see their child and got a court order, and he repeatedly broke it trying to get to see his son. I read the story Liz wrote, she said she would've kept out of it, except her brother had done nothing wrong, never been violent, never kept them short of money, and it was an injustice.

[Bobbisox]

cheers Quassia, he certainly has a good pedigree in the music industry

[Quassia]

I'm sorry I missed him on Sky!

[merciasounds]

Morning Bobbi - I meant to say the other day you're looking gorgeous and tanned in your avatar, your hair really looks super-shiny

[jackthehat]

You can always tell a Yorkshireman..........but you can't tell him much.

[Bobbisox]

morning mercia, thank you, I hope you are ok and remembering what I said to you:-)

can you perhaps elaborate on your post Trima (can't be arsed to spell the rest..lol)

[Bobbisox]

I feel sad for anyone who has had a rough time of it, who wouldn't?
but also feel that being a public figure his manners let him down badly imo

[Bobbisox]

and I may be a lot of things to a lot of people Triggerhippy , my manners are good though!

[WELSHYORKIE]

No, Jack - it's because we know more than you Lancs
