      Just wondering how many of you listen to Radio 1 with Chris Moyles and like him? Personally I find that he talks too much, unfunny and just generally completely irritating. I would rather cut my own fingers off with a penknife then have to listen to him every morning, but then again there are people who absolutely love him and think that he fully justifies his £650,000 a year salary. Any thoughts? :)

      I haven't listened to Radio 1 since 1975 and I'm not about to start again. [edit] in case anyone's interested I'm quite a Radio 4 addict but also listen to a lot of the oldy-goldy comedy stuff on Radio 7[/edit]

          I can easily read technical English and write it. I suppose my spoken English is very ugly but still I can formulate meaningful sentences. On the other hand understanding spoken Englis is troublesome, believe me. :)

              Once I had to deal with a taxi driver in Glasgow. That wasn't English! I supposed he was just using another language (while in Scotland's B&B I always found people with very good pronunciation). :)

                  Hehehee! I went up to Aberdeen recently to go offshore, and a chap came over and sat next to me. He started up a conversation, and I was only able to understand about 50% of what he was saying. I gave up asking to repeat himself after about 2 minutes otherwise I thought he may have started to get angry!! :)

                        One of the reasons I like CP so much is that you learn so many new things from the various posts. Until now the only quick Pole I knew of was Robert Kubica. Chris Moyles, a Pole. Who knew..........?

                                  Just wondering how many of you listen to Radio 1 with Chris Moyles and like him? Personally I find that he talks too much, unfunny and just generally completely irritating. I would rather cut my own fingers off with a penknife then have to listen to him every morning, but then again there are people who absolutely love him and think that he fully justifies his £650,000 a year salary. Any thoughts? :)

                                  I listen to my 4 year old daughter every morning. Starts talking the instant she wakes and keeps talking until she sleeps. Just like a radio, but doesn't cost the taxpayer £650,000 a year. Makes as much sense as Chris Moyles to!

                                    A point of order Mr. Chairman! Mr. Moyles does not cost the taxpayer anything, let alone £650,000.

                                      Have you had her tested? because it sounds like she is sub normal - 4 year old and only making as much sense and Chris Moyles! you can but hope shes a late developer

                                      You cant outrun the world, but there is no harm in getting a head start
