SSD Posted February 17, 2014 Author Share Posted February 17, 2014 I'd love to work at RD. A 3 hour show would be the same as chatting to OAP's in the street who moan about why Derick next door is building a shed higher than the fence height and obstructs a view. Then a quick bulletin about Little Eaton island blocking everything up. How easy of a 3 hours is that to fill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shuff264 Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 How very dare you! There's some very interesting debates on RD in the morning. In the morning is the problem there, its ******* 8am I dont care about what ever petty issue you're arguing about this time My best solution for the problem is just to sleep in and miss it, works a treat!

GboroRam Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Cannot bear adverts on radio. Radio 1 sucks but is better than 3, 4 etc.Local BBC radio is just painful.Radio 2 is ok in the day but when I'm listening, late on, it's usually some pre 50s stuff or weird shizzle like Hammond Organ appreciation night.So its R5Live for me mostly.

I'm getting so feckin old and miserable nowadays i pick radio (and TV stations for that matter) purely on the fact that there's no adverts. I'd rather listen to Val Doonican singing "Paddy McGinty's goat" than an advert for fckin Wonga. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CumbrianRam Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Think Radio Derby is bad, try Radio Cumbria feck me only decent show is the sport shows and even the teams they feature are poor. A Derby fan is the main Carlisle Utd comms and is always good for a mention of the Rams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alph Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Talksport seems to have more adverts than any other station. Makes it hard to listen to. The most infuriating advert on Smooth is a skoda advert. "Whether you say Skoda or Shkoda.." Who says Shkoda?!?? Frickin' drongo. Don't see adverts on TV. I channel flick when the come on. Usually end up turning back too late or forgetting to switch back at all. "Have you had an accident at work that wasn't your fault?" "I was wearing roller skates when I climbed up a ladder..." Boom! Next channel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is once less than Chris Moyles. Cat funt to be fair, I got a tunecaster thing from Belkin* (*other suppliers are available), which plugs into the bottom of my iphone5 (and charges it), so I listen mainly to music that's on my phone.

TigerTedd Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Don't see adverts on TV. I channel flick when the come on. Usually end up turning back too late or forgetting to switch back at all. This is my problem. I have such a short attention span I forget that I was even watching anything or what I was watching. It's only an hour or so later that I remember I've only seen half a programme. That's why I Sky + or Sky Anytime everything and watch it later. Skip through all the ads. Sky might have destroyed football, but I'm a big fan of the modern way of watching TV that Sky have pioneered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who won 20 dollars and bought himself a goat? ...trying to remember the bloody rest wether I want to or not. All I'm getting is a bang and an angel with whiskers. Bloody hell.

Phoenix Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 I'm more of a classics man me sen, but, as with other staions mentioned above, an unnecessary plethora of comfy, middle-class adverts. Trouble is, if I tune in to Radio 3 I'm invariablly met with 10-20 seconds complete silence. God knows what they're doing, moving the piano or summat. Constantly.

Phoenix Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 For all you non-classical fans, here's a rendition of Beethoven's 5th symphony. The gramophone version starts with the commentator (the inimitable Peter Schikele) explaining that classical music can be complicated and needs program notes. The problem is that just before the music starts, they turn the house lights down so you can't read them. Here is his solution. In my view the LP version wa smuch better in that it left a lot to the imagination, the piece finished with the slightly-confused commentator saying " I think they've finished. Yes, the players are removing their helmets" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
