"What a clown"

Now, before anyone starts, I am well aware of his support and championing of a musical genre, helping to bring it overground and gain respectability in this country.
I'm also aware of his high-regard by artists in the genre and I do not doubt his committment to his love of the music - he's 100% genuine and done everything he can to support his genre.

But.......

Tim Westwood.
What a tossfaced wigga.
Honestly, I listened to his show for the 1st time in years last Friday and heard him being interviewed.
"Yeah baby, let's drop da bomb, a'ait?"
"It's all day baby, it's da mad bomb, c'mon baby drop da bomb..yeah baby"
(explosion sound)
"Damn baby, dass hot, yeah"
(explosion sound again)
"Oh my god, it's getting mad bomb in here baby, bomb!"

He's a 38yr old Vicar's son from Cambridge, so why does he speak like he's been raised by The Wu-Tang Clan and dresses like he's a gang-banger from Compton?
Like I said, I do not doubt his integrity and support of a genre that although fashionable now, once used to be considered a joke yet he stuck by it.
But come on, you have to admit either his personality is a joke OR he's the most misguided, unintentionally funny bloke on radio.

Is he like that at home?
"Morning Tim, would you like some cornflakes?"
"Oh my god! Drop da bomb baby (makes explosion with his mouth) It's getting hot in here!"
"...is that a yes then dear?"
"Is kickin' off mad hot up in da joint baby!" (explosion with mouth)
"...stop that"

Pukka, innit.

Like totally get with it Grandad. Wickety bo, aiiii sick ill dope wack, etc.

:-D

I still don't know if 'da bomb' is a good thing or a bad thing.

I think you speak for us all o' Goaty one. I wonder whether he shouts the same thing while taking a dump...

Every time I hear someone describe something as "da bomb", I expect to see a large 20,000lb suppository-shaped object with 4 fins on the back, stuck to the wing of a rather large aircraft.

I must be getting old.

*laughing*

Should he ever be incarcerated for a drive by shouting or something similalry lame, I'd wonder what would happen if he said "Drop the bomb on me baby" in the showers at Broadmoor prison, when he asking the guy next to him for some soap.

Yyyyyeeeeeaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!

That's my new saying from now on

"Is it?"

Hyyyeeeaaaah

I like the way he says 'Yes', by going Hyyyyeeeeaaaaah. Buthe got shot, so it's okay. I can just picture him in hospital, being worked on by the nurses.

"Now Mr Westwood, this is going to hurt a little."
"Drop the bomb on me baby, hhyyeeaaah"

He also has a damned annoying space ship noise.
It sorta flies from left to right through your stereo which is cool until you hear for the 100th time in 20 minutes.
