Re: Bicycle arrest

Is the bicycle arrest section real or just spam? If its real, can we have a source for this section? Andy4226uk 09:09, 14 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It is indeed very realRepublicUK 04:08, 13 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Pointless Trivia

It doesn't matter if there is a reference - it simply isn't relevant if an album changed his life or what bands he likes! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ohnoudidntttt (talk • contribs) 14:34, 16 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Disagree, Wright makes a big deal about music, is a Hawkwind obsessive/anorak and frequently mentions them in completely unrelated topics, is also the regular host of the hippy-oriented prog-rock awards every year. Have restored. Rodericksilly (talk) 02:01, 17 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

this needs to be rewritten properly or deleted

"One of Wright’s penchant on the show was to be regularly taken in by prank callers. One example is of a former gentleman partner of Sharon Goodman, who has on multiple occasions called into the show to voice his displeasure over the seemingly tumultuous nature of their uncoupling. Instead of professionally brushing off the interruption's and continuing with the show, Wrights tendacy to throw a hissy fit often brought the calls to wider attention and added unintentional additional humour to the situation."

I think it's survived closer scrutiny because it has a 'proper' citation, a link to a bbc piece. but it's appallingly written & salacious, & while I'm no fan of wright myself, I don't think this belongs in a wp article about him.
