If anyone here has not listened to the Pykes Nursery call, do yourself a favour.
Even if you have heard it before, do yourself a favour hahahahah.
The golden tonsils is gone, but will be always be remembered. My Dad loved him and listened to him everyday on 2SM. I wonder how Norman is tonight?

I remember listening to him in the 80s when I was quite young as my mum worked on the sewing machine and she would have him on in the background.
As an adult, I listened to him from time to time while I was on the road. He did slow down a lot over the years and he lost a fair bit of his wit. He had quite a few regular callers who would call in to give it to him and they made his shows very entertaining at times.
It's quite sad but he had a very good innings. It's the end of an era for radio - rest in peace John Laws.
He had the rule of never hanging up on people i believe. Again, made for great radio with that rule.
I wonder to this day if Norman was fair dinkum or a plant?
Pretty sure he hung up on Kevin Bloody Wilson! Remember the song Hello John? Funny f'ing song.
Yeah my dad said a few times he did hang up on people but very rare.
It's a shame bananas like Hadley couldn't replicate the class of JL.
He told the story of how when he signed for 2GB, Singleton had just signed Alan Jones and then at the media release of Alan Jones' announcement of coming to 2GB, he announced Hadley doing breakfast and taking on John Laws without even telling him prior.
I think that was the expectation and now Mark Levy is trying to replicate Hadley, maybe a little too much.
