RADIO Ulster’s fatboy shock jock, Stephen Nolan, almost bust a blood vessel this morning after he was described in the Tele (not online) as ‘roly-poly’ and a ‘tubby talking machine’. This was in the context of a story reporting slagging off residents of an Antrim estate as ‘trailer trash’ and described Ardoyne as a ‘hell hole’. Laughing at yourself is never quite as easy as dishing it out others, even if it was ‘light-hearted banter’, eh Stephen? (I think he likes the attention really.)
