I've not actually phoned, but I've sent a few emails in - none of which have been mentioned!

... you've got to tell him he is the best thing that has ever happened to left wing phone-ins, and tell him he should be the next president of The Peoples Republic of Britain. ... you might get a mention then. agree

Tip : Instead of using the 0870 line (2 - 10p/min depending on the time etc)

http://www.saynoto0870.com/

gives 0207 9597800 (reception) .. i.e. if you have one of the unlimited call tarrifs, you can call for free !!

p.s. Don't tell TalkSport .. they may change the number.

p.p.s. I did e-mail to the show .. one of them was read, but the rest bounced with invalid recepient (I assumed it was an e-mail setup problem at TalkSport end .. but they didn't reply to my queries)

I sent an email in Fri., which he read out relating to conspiracies. Gave him the quote;

What a tangled web we weave
When first we practice to deceive

Gave me quite a start as he as good as shouted my name.
My 2nd 'feather in cap' for email mentions.

I tried emailing at TalkSport, and all of mine kept bouncing back as well, except for last night with an email about Good Film/Bad Book (Midnight Express), but it didn't get mentioned.


I've also emailed direct at his Site once, but no response, in fact the only response I've ever had was when I ordered a copy of his book from his Site !

(I've just emailed his Site again with a link to that nasty Site suggesting that he may like to do something about it).

I've not ever called the show but me and GG have been emailing back and forth quite regularly after he mentioned my George Formby thinkg on YouTube. He's a really sweet guy and he's mentioned me four or five times on the show, which makes me rather warm and fuzzy on the inside Smile

Thanks Micky.

2 issues :

a) re e-mails to Talksport bouncing, interesting you had probably the same issue as me : -- for me between 13 Jan to 28 Jan, EVERY e-mail bounced) like :
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
From: <postmaster>

This is an automatically generated Delivery Status Notification.

Delivery to the following recipients failed.

sean.dilley@talksport.co.uk
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I just didn't bother after that .. not least since some e-mails were getting through.

Glad PaintDry's e-mail got through. And I do believe 911 could have been pulled off.
It wouldn't have taken that many people to be "in" on it. fyi, see http://www.spiderednews.com/911.htm

b) re GG site, George confirmed on air on Friday that they have been overwhelmed .. and they have got a new person now looking at the e-mails. I will contact GG's team directly to ensure they note the site. Glad you mentioned it.

I've e-mailed a few times and have had 1 message read and several "bounced" back. My guess on the bounces is that their inbox is full.
