Thursday 12 November was known as Black Thursday as Talk Radio UK had been taken over by new management and many presenters and staff were being fired left right and centre. Abbot was one of the many casualties. He still continued with his weekday show on Virgin Radio, which was now extended to 6 days a week and went out from 1-4 pm Sundays–Fridays.

Famous quotes containing the words black and/or thursday:
“In night when colours all to black are cast,
Distinction lost, or gone down with the light;
The eye—a watch to inward senses placed,
Not seeing, yet still having power of sight—
Gives vain alarums to the inward sense”
—Fulke Greville (1554–1628)
“Newspaperman: That was a magnificent work. There were these mass columns of Apaches in their war paint and feather bonnets. And here was Thursday leading his men in that heroic charge.
Capt. York: Correct in every detail.
Newspaperman: He’s become almost a legend already. He’s the hero of every schoolboy in America.”
—Frank S. Nugent (1908–1965)
