Fair enough. But the way I see that is if he could have the show as his 'hobby' then he would. But obviously it's his job, he doesn't have any other job and so thus he needs to make money somehow. If you have a job you expect to get paid. If he did it for free and had a job on the side then fine, but it's his real job and so thus he is entitled to moan about his pay - afterall it is his job and he is doing a job to earn money.

That's how I see it anyway.

No, you dont give a **** about Bill Gates, and I really couldnt care less if a man has to wait a few weeks for his montly £60,000 to come through. You have to put each situation into context. I'm not saying it's right what they did to him but I dont feel obliged to sympathise with the guy just because of the principal of the matter, because that loses all it's importance when it, probably, does not have a dterimental effect on the guy at all.

He said himself he loves his job. Well, I think that when you're being paid £650,000 for a job that you love then you are very content in life. So one of his pau cheques is delayed a bit, he should get over it, if he truly loved his job as much as he said then he should be able to overcome such a minor setback, particularly, as, in the grand of scheme of things, it wiill affect him very little. He'll get the money eventually, it's not like he hasn't been paid all year, it's just one pay cheque (assuming he gets paid monthly)

Where did I say that people had to 'sympathise' with him? I just said he had every right to be furious, that's all. Which he does.

I only personally sympathise with him in the sense that he's evidently had a hard time with his relationship that has just recently ended, he was 'ill' for a week at the end of August where apparently he went to stay with his parents in Leeds, and now this. He looks very rough at the minute too. Doesn't look well at all.

The fact that it's his show does not require him to make public a private dispute, nor does it justify it. It's between him and the BBC, dont impose your personal problem on your listeners.

Yes it does. Because he went to management and they didn't seem to care, and told him 'it doesn't matter'. So the only way he was going to get them off their arses was to let nine million people know about their total incompetence live on the radio. It's the last resort. And evidently he had to go there.

Again - where have I said people HAVE to sympathise with him? All I'm trying to say is that he has every right to be furious.

Pretty clueless, it seems. He left her, actually. So evidently you shouldn't be commenting on things you know absolutely nothing about.
