What do you call an Indian Karaoke singer..?
Gerupta Singh...
I know an Indian guy who does karaoke called 'Patelvis - the Indian Elvis'. He does the karaoke in one of my locals in full Elvis Get-up. He was on the Big Breakfast a few years back on Elvis's birthday. He only does Patelvis at the weekend though - if he does a mid-week gig, he does it in his civvies and goes by the name 'The FBI' (fking Big Indian).Gerupta Singh...

Absolute seem to be going for maximum publicity on this story, not that shocking as they have lost many thousands of listeners since rebranding from Virgin.
My thoughts exactly...BBC Website said said:
The comment was edited out of the show before it was put on the Absolute website as a podcast.
From that comment the interview was pre-recorded, so they knew about the comment. So they took it out of the main show as it might 'cause offence'. However they saw it fit to put it in the podcast, this way they can then publish an apology for a non-story and people then go to the website to download the podcast, which ups the traffic they get.They knew what they were doing all along, it's just a ploy to get some free marketing and website traffic.
How about this for an idea, they don't keep telling us who they are sponsored by today, stop playing so many adverts, get DJs who don't sound like are reading everything from a script and maybe listeners will be interested in the station. Christian O'Connell was 10 times better when he was on XFM, FFS he is still running ideas they first played out on XFM years ago!

Sounds to me like it went out on the airwaves... so approx 3 people heard it.
Then it was removed for the podcast.
That would seem a little more logical?
Ahhhh I read the report wrong then. I read it as the comment was removed from the show before it was inserted into the podcast.Then it was removed for the podcast.
That would seem a little more logical?
Still don't like the station mind you...

Chinese car thief?
Tommi Tuk a mota
That would be Japanese Tommi Tuk a mota
A Chinese one would be
"A man was walking down the street and noticed a sign reading: "Hans Schmidt's Chinese Laundry."
Being of a curious nature, he entered and was greeted by an obviously Oriental man who identified himself as Hans Schmidt.
"How come you have a name like that?" inquired the stranger.
The Oriental explained in very broken English that when he landed in America he was standing in the immigration line behind a German. When asked his name, the German replied, "Hans Schmidt."
When the immigration official asked the Oriental his name, he replied, "SAM TING."
