Yes, it is not just Chris Moyles who talks like one of da kids - national laughing stock Nigel Kennedy, who older readers may remember was a minor celeb for about 25 seconds a few decades ago, can still get an interview in some parts of the world.
The original Mockney shared with the good people of Brisbane, through the pages of the Courier-Mail, his views on the beautiful game:
"I really think that European football, for instance, is really gay."
How so, Nige?
"It's gay shit."
How perceptive - could you elaborate?
"It's just lots of geezers just thinking, 'Is my haircut nice enough?' or something.
"Real footballers, people who play for their own club and support their club, that's men's football.''
The Courier-Mail's intrepid journo lost no time in pointing out to the irritating violinist that his hair is a national disgrace.
"I've got a pretty shit haircut and I know it. I'm not going to be fretting over it, like David Beckham might.''
Becks can sleep soundly tonight - his status as a gay icon is unlikely to be in danger from "geezer" Kennedy.
Speaking of hair, here is a picture of a proper dodgy Barnet, as Nigel would say:
You shouldn't poke fun at people with large hair, it might be glandular.
Oh, and the violin is for girls; real men play brass.
