    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..........?

              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!

                        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.

                                    Because I was intrigued as to why he pulls in 6 million listeners a day, when as far as I'm concerned he's just an annoying idiot. I thought that maybe I was missing a hidden joke some where - or if you interpret things he says in another way then maybe it becomes funny. Besides which, it was never meant to be a rant, I don't hate the guy - like I said in the topic - merely a quick poll.

                                    *shrug* the radio guys "everyone knows" over here are just get on my nerves. They just sound like hyperactive crackheads on speed 24hours / day, some people - many people - seem to need that.

                                    Agh! Reality! My Archnemesis![^]
