Norman Baker to release an album (yes really THAT Norman Baker)

[Norman Potting]

Sorry to put a damper on the euphoria surrounding today but I just heard about this on the BBC radio news at 21:00. Sorry about the link but it already in on the global interweb and this was the top one on Google

The brief clip they played sounded like a poor Kinks tribute band.

Anyone hear him on Radio 4 this morning talking about it? He made himself sound a right humourless prick, reacted badly after the other guy they got on politely implied it was self-indulgent shite.

It really brightened up my morning.

There's a half page article about it in today's Argus. It's priced at £10 if anyone fancies a copy.

 

[Norman Potting]

Er, no.

Blimey, I knew the Argus had gone up a bit but a tenner is ridiculous. No wonder nobody buys it.

I half-heard the story on the radio this morning while dozing, genuinely thought I'd dreamt it until reading this just now. It's fair to say I'll not be checking out the album.

He made himself sound a right humourless prick...

He made himself?

He doesn't need to make any effort, I'm sure.

He made himself?

He doesn't need to make any effort, I'm sure.

Fair point - I'll rephrase:

He ensured that anyone not acquainted with him already was able to form a swift and accurate opinion of his character.

 

[Manx Shearwater]

That's the fella!

I'm going to download it illegally. Just to hack him off some more.

Then I'll delete it again.

Having just listened to it on the Argos website, it's not particularly offensive, quite a foot-tapper really.
