BaronCasey Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 I’ve noticed that “Mick The Hammer” has been absent from out TV screens for the last few weeks. Does anyone know what’s happened to him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exsexyman Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 Heard he has got an acting job somewhere Rumours emanating from the UK suggest he has been headhunted by the BBC. Jeremy Paxman having gone on a sabbatical, the legendary "Hammer" will be filling in for him presenting Newsnight and University Challenge. Does anybody have any confirmation of this?

I'm afraid you've been mislead old chap; I've heard on good authority that "Mick ve 'ammer" has been back in the U.K. rallying up support for his application as the new British International Foreign Affairs Minister with remit for Overseas Investment. Apparently, support for him has been better than anticipated and has been coming in from unexpected quarters, including: his own Mum, and her friend Doreen from behind the bar at Tuesday night's Bingo down the High St. Also, Uncle Gerald, who's owned and run the local Peckham Chip shop since Mick was a young nipper, has also pledged his support by creating a special one-off menu item consisting of luke-warm soggy chips sandwiched between two slices of plain white bread and has proudly named it "The Mick's Batty".

Thailaw Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 There have been several additions to the Pattaya TV lineup recently. Barry Upton is surprising good. Dave "D" is very, very bad. But all-in-all an improvement over the utter garbage that has been the mainstay of that channel until recently. Hopefully, Mick the Hammer (and his tattooed Thai sidekick) have been casualties of an effort to improve the channel's image and bring it more in-line with the mainstream ex-pat community here in Pattaya. The programming really sucks, and the effort to entice you with promises of news and then show endless commercial adverts is annoying beyond expression. Having regularly scheduled timing for programs (i.e., news at specified times) like "real" tv channels would do wonders for their credibility and viewership, but as bad as it is, it is better than it was 6 months ago. There is hope, and Mick's demise is a sign of that -- hopefully, he is not just on vacation!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
