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). :)

It's because you don't speak the language of the gods. For we speak an arcane language, given to only the worthy.

[My articles]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!! :)

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? :)

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..........?

Trust me, I was not just talking about enjoying his radio show (for 5 mins a day).
If you vote me down, my score will only get lower

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.

according to the BBC web site he was paid exactly what I think he is worth in the last two months (seemingly they have had a glitch in the payroll and he hasnt been paid for these months)

My bad. but he does cost someone that money, though I thought it was only £500,000 and he hadn't been paid for the last two months.

:) You have to keep your wits about you. For example my sister was over yesterday and said something like, "if that happens then I scream", to which my little girl jumps in with, "I had ice cream in Italy this summer". The brain is an incredible thing for making connections.

Not me, I grew out of Radio 1 when I was a teenager. If he's worth £650k then I'm a Dutchman.

That's my kind of wake-up, unless Anne Atkins is on, in which case I usually end up shouting at the radio.
