I've led a sheltered life...

...thus yesterday evening I had my first experience of a televisual transmission entitled ‘Pimp my rice’.

Can someone please answer this rather naive question: Is Westwood an attempt at a comedy character, along the lines of Ali G? I only ask as surely he can’t be for real, but I didn’t find him at all funny

He is for real!!! Very strange i know but he is always like that, at least when he is in the public eye he is!!!

the alig character was essentially based on tim westwood, and a couple of other white dj types.

Hum, MY soul may be white but my skin is black (now) - I blame Varts car - the back brakes were disgustingly dirty!

Mac.

I heard that Sacha Baron Cohen was attending an urban music/culture event (I have a feeling it was Notting Hill Carnival one year) when Tim Westwood came on stage and yelled at the predominantly afro-carribean audience...and I approximately quote...

Tim Westwood wrote:Yo, where my big dick niggahs at?

Coming from a skinny white-boy son of a lawyer, Sacha obviously considered it his duty to come up with a piss-take character.

I love listening to Westwood - he's actually pretty funny in the way he intonates certain sentences. My favourite was from a Radio One show about sexual health, when he asked a caller (with false-sounding sincerity) "Why do you think you have crabs", over-emphasising the last word

cheers
