Recently on my holidays I have been listenting to some late night radio on BBC London. The Presenter Big George is a very good radio host. Well worth checking out. Between 12am - 6am. Here's a segment I found on you tube, which was nicely done.

Really...


Personally, I feel ( don't you love that get out clause ) it's rather like listening to a cement mixer with a loose brick in it


He churns & clanks his subjects, whilst huffing & blowing into the mike


All this, then an interlude of "musical cardboard" on 94.9FM



Thankfully I don't get to tune in unless I'm working late



Lastly, I bet he eats & talks at the same time ( to top it off )



Still, horses for courses



W**F

Not trying to say he doesn't. Define what you mean by rubbish music? Surely you don't listen to him because he might play music you approve of? It's a talk show. Why not email him and ask why he plays what he does? There is a reasonably large choice on the BBC London playlist. He also plays stuff sent in to him if he likes it. And he will often have the artist(s) in the studio if he likes them.

Jeez guys - why so defensive about BG?


I don't have to email him - I had a chat with him about it when I was in the studio. BBC London have a teeeny-tiny playlist (think Lifting by Lighthouse family and maybe about 3 other tracks that Radio Luxembourg would have thought safe in 1981) which they enforce on their presenters during certain hours of the day. He seemed about as happy with this as I did as a listener.


as for the guy himself he seems nice enough, and interesting to boot, but I wouldn't say I'm a fan


Is this so heinous?

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
