Rant Dev

[Trem]

As some of you may know, mainly due to my lack of posting on here that I now have a job.

So what this means is my alarm goes off at 6am which gives me enough time to walk the dogs and to have 378 coffee's.

When I started the job I was woken by Greg James on Radio 1, he was nice to listen to when half awake and he played, quite frankly, fantastic music for that time of the morning. Greg James has now gone on to bigger and better things on Radio 1 and well done to him, I like the bloke.

But Greg was replaced by a total fucking moron, Dev his name is and he finds one thing *he* finds funny then repeats it over and over again, he also plays music which is bordering on drum n bass. I find it hard to believe that anyone of any age appreciates this nuggets idea of stuff to wake up to.

I can only get Radio 1 and the local dog shit station so I am stuck with this prick, well I am until the dab alarm clock arrives which I have been forced to order today because of this nimrod (BBC 6 Music is *the* best radio station ever if you have never heard it give it a go). I swear he puts me in a god awful mood for the rest of the day. Also he can barely speak correctly, a talent I thought was needed for radio presenting. Where the fucking christ did the BBC dig this tool up from?

Grrrrrr

I feel your pain - I couldn't listen to that annoying bint Sarah Cox at all for the entire tenure of her stay.

That said - I love drum n bass ( the less douchey strain that is described as liquid ).

Reminds me of when mark and lard were on in the afternoon and I couldn't stand that shit either.

 

[Gumbo]

He ticks the diversity box I'm afraid, nothing more. I'm finding myself listening more and more to Radio 4. I'm becoming my dead dad.

 

[00dave]

I agree trem, the "new" radio 1 lineup is actually quite good, but Dev certainly is the weak link in the chain. Although I do feel the banter is gone from the Scott Mills show since Chappers left. I still swap between radio 1 and 2 atm but I do like the Jeremy Vine show unless he has a none story on.

 

[old.user4556]

Six cylinders is my music in the morning. Never gets boring to listen to.

Edit: oh, radio 1 is toilet, pull yourself together Trem!

/puts on Radio 2

 

[Edmond]

Sara Cox is great, i love her on a Sunday morning, but she is off on maternity leave atm. She has been replaced by one of the entertainment reporters, who is, without any doubt, one of the cheesiest, moronic fuckers i have ever had the pleasure to switch off

He belongs on local radio, i think he has taken a leaf out of Smashie & Nicey's book, taken it seriously and ran and ran with it. What a dick


Zane Lowe ftw, has had a Gorrilaz's night tonight, been quite good

 

[Trem]

Zane Lowe is fantastic but Sarah Cox is about the most annoying female ever. Sarah Cox is the female Vernon Kay, both are talentless *****

 

[ECA]

You really seriously enjoy Sara Cox and her fake accent/voice semi-quirky crap all the time?

There's a reason she lost 1.2million listeners in her last year - people had got bored of her annoying crap.

 

[Edmond]

Well i like her, i think she's funny

 

[ECA]

The most annoying thing is her fake radio voice - if she just spoke normally I could at least tolerate her but if I have to listen to that voice for more than 30s I just want to goddamn stab a puppy or something.

( When she speaks normally I can tolerate her fine ).

 

[Trem]

She does have cracking norks though.

Oh god, also that Fern Cotton is an almighty twat fuck as well.

Radio 6 all the way for me.

 

[Edmond]

Oh god, also that Fern Cotton is an almighty twat fuck as well.

Yep I'll give you that one, she has the worst fake voice ever, her chavness slips out all the time

 

[00dave]

dammit I have a naked picture of Sarah Cox I was going to share with you, genuine one too, proper pap snap, but for some reason it won't link. Admins assemble!!

 

[Roo Stercogburn]

Sarah Cox spends half her time making slurping noises. She must generate more phlegm than an old folks home.

fix the internets!

 

[Wij]

Radio 4 ftw tbh

 

[Ch3tan]

I listen to LBC, it reminds me of here. Pompous twats storming ahead with their views ignoring all others

 

[Zenith.UK]

Radio1
Chris Moyles & co are annoying twons with a terrible breakfast show format.
Fern Cotton doesn't have any unique attributes and is just vocal fluff.
Greg James isn't bad. He's the best of the current lineup IMO.
Scott Mills grinds my gears and tends to play crap as well.
Zane Lowe can STFU. His voice, his attitude and his CONSTANT references to new music wind me up more than Scott Mills.

Radio2
Chris Evans. He's mellowed but it's still the same Chris Evans that did Radio1 breakfast.
Ken Bruce. IMO the best presenter on national radio + Popmaster.
Jeremy Vine. Sometimes alright, sometimes annoying. Usually more annoying.
Steve Wright. When will the BBC retire this guy off? I've never EVER liked him on any radio station. His format just pisses me off.
Simon Mayo. The 2nd best presenter on national radio IMO. I've always liked him since he had the breakfast show on Radio1.

My day tends to be CD till 9:30, Ken Bruce, half of Jeremy Vine, Greg James, CD till 17:00, Simon Mayo.

 

[StRaNgEdAyS]

Eww

Too thin

 

[Kryten]

Just got too pissed off with Radio1 because of the utter shit they play whilst I'm driving. It's easier to list what sort of stuff isn't entirely shit because their playlist is a who's who of fuckchaps, most of whom appear to specialise in reworks of crap 80's songs - not too dissimilar to what's going on in cinemas.

I'll happily listen to a bit of Kasabian and Mumford and Sons, something a little bit original and talentful. Not that it's my kind of music but compared to just about everything else in the current playlist it's godlike. So, if I must listen to the radio it's R2 all the way. But as a direct result of the growing crap on radio, I went and bought a half decent mp3 head unit, a USB HDD and threw every single album, single and MP3 on it that I own. Something like a month of continual playback without repetition and all stuff I'd class as my own taste. Job done.

 

[Edmond]

I dont really get a chance to listen to the radio in the daytime, I wake up to Moyles, i think he's quite funny tbh, even he thinks that most of the stuff R1 play is dire.

When Sara Cox is on a Sunday (off on maternity atm) she has the lie in, which is old stuff from the last 10-15 years, so thats why i like it, and Zane Lowe isn't confined to the playlist

And Scott Mills on the way home is good too, although Simon Mayo is now on R2 from 5.00pm and i have always liked him

I just can't stand local cheesy radio, all the adverts just do my head in, even Absoloute has me switching over cos of all the cross promotion/advertising, and i know it what pays for it all, but it just gets my back up

I have a I-pod dock transmitter thingy that i use quite a lot, so if there is nothing to listen to, i plug that in
