Dear All - Please try Radio FIP (French state run) it has the most amazing selection of music. You can either listen over the internet or download a file which then plays it through iTunes.

I love most types of music, and they are all played there, best of all, very little 'chat' and no adverts.

In light of Honaloochie's comments re: Jono Coleman I did a quick search before starting a thread and was thrilled to be reminded that the lovely Bellenden Belle shares the hate


"I am only relieved that Jono Coleman has left the London breakfast show. He was like an overgrown schoolboy - I found myself SCREAMING at the radio...

"

Radio 2 early in the am with Sarah Kennedy.


Radio 4 most of the rest of the day as it is like a talking clock, I know what time of the day it is by whats on.


Radio 3 sometimes for a change.


Radio 7 which is infuriatingly on digital, so you of course need to buy a digital radio to receive it, or sky tv chanels.


Some times catch Vanessa when I'm driving, who is best on radio, I can't stand watching her on tv. She is a cut above the rest of the flotsam on that station.

I am not ashamed ( *Bob* you can hide behind me now) "I LOVE THE VANESSA SHOW" on BBC London 94.9 9-12 am Monday-Saturday It's radio at it's best, yes it is .....mmmm all warm and cudly, funny , erudite, la la la....kiss kiss



"Hello lovely listeners" Oh how the hairs on my arms stand up.....oh mmmm.




"Ahem................now where were we" ?




W**F

I love radio 4. (Currently mark twain's autobiography, the news quiz, food programme, excess baggage, archers, previously sorry I haven't a clue with humphrey littleton)


Sometimes Classic (without the annoying ads would be even better)


Old comedies on radio 7 (dad's army, steptoe)


Absolute 80s (without the really irritating bits between the cheesy music, can of quattro anyone? Jeez)

I'm lazy with my choices, even hitting favourites on DAB has become a chore. Mainly 5 live, really like The Monday NIght Club but think 'Motty' should stick to what he knows (knew). Annoyingly Colin Murray (Kopite) has grown on me but I've never quite got Fighting Talk, just makes me cringe. Richard Bacon (no known footy affiliation) has the greatest booker in tv and radio, everyday he has great, interesting guests.


Radio 4 is catered for by Review of the Week but is too unashamedly middle class. Some of the comedy is great, some awful.


I often spin over to World Service, randomly some great features and less randomly the greatest phone in footy show anywhere in the UK.


That's about it, dislike commercial, not snobbery just hate the ads. Love music but never really tune in to listen to it.

    • I wonder where he could be deported to, Hungary the obvious candidate in Europe, perhaps he would get on well with Modi?   Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch and Reform UK leader Nigel Farage both said Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood should look at whether Abd El Fattah's citizenship could be revoked to enable his swift removal from the UK. Farage said in a letter to Mahmood: "It should go without saying that anyone who possesses racist and anti-British views such as those of [Mr Abd El Fattah] should not be allowed into the UK." So just racists views are ok Nige?
    • Always preferred Grace and Favour to the BMC, commented in the past on this and sadly long since gone   
    • If it's the same one I'm thinking of, it was a little further down the road towards LL, probably where the Fresh Flower Company is today. I'd forgotten all about it, with good reason. I think it disappeared before Blue Mountain opened and became a pizza place? I once bought a carton of milk from the deli and when I opened it, it was solid. I did get my money back though.
    • But when was it posted?! I haven't posted any this year. I can't bring myself to pay the exorbitant cost of the stamps, and at least I can sort of honestly blame it on illness. If I can't hand deliver them, I send e-cards. I know it's not the same, but it's very much easier. And as for the people who still send pages of closely handwritten letters .... very admirable in terms of the hours it must have taken them to write them,  but they remind me of those spoofs eg x has just passed all their many important exams with the highest marks possible, y has just walked round the world in a week, z has just become the first person ever to be knighted twice, we are about to fly off for our fifteenth exotic holiday this year ....... Or else (or sometimes and) they are full of who has had what illnesses and accidents and other catastrophes. Is this just my relatives and distant friends? Am I somehow attracting these reams of handwritten paper?
