Hi All

(a) is indeed the late, great John Peel

(c) is Kathy Lette

(i) is Paolo - I saw him at last year's Isle of Wight festival and have been a convert ever since.

Which only leaves


g. “If I had a large amount of money I should found a hospital for those whose grip upon the world is so tenuous that they can be severely offended by words and phrases yet remain all unoffended by the injustice, violence and oppression that howls daily"

Give-away clue "I SHOULD found a hospital...." - obviously a person who understands the English language .............

Here's what's left

Who said -

a. "I Think my chances of making the Liverpool side are gone now. Might still be able to get a game at one of those London clubs though .

c. "If vibrators could light the barbie and kill spiders in the bathtub, would we need men at all."

g. “If I had a large amount of money I should found a hospital for those whose grip upon the world is so tenuous that they can be severely offended by words and phrases yet remain all unoffended by the injustice, violence and oppression that howls daily"

i. "I naturally mumble anyway so maybe they think I'm a drunk, mumbling Scotsman."
