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 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.

    • Or increase tax.  The freezing of personal allowances is one way, not what I would choose.  On principle I don't care if the rich immigrate.  The main parties could have been more honest before the election.  Reform is deluded.
    • I edited my post because I couldn't be sure we were talking about politicians and I couldn't be bothered to read it all back. But it was off the back of a thread discussing labour councillors, so it went without saying really and I should have left it.  What I said was 'There's something very aggressive about language like that - it's not big and it's not clever. Some of the angry energy that comes from the far left is pretty self-defeating.' (In relation to a labour councillor rather immaturely, in my view, wearing a jumper that read 'fuck the Tories').  But I don't recall saying that "violent rhetoric" is exclusively the domain of the left wing. So I do think you're taking a bit of a bit of leap here. 
    • You literally just edited your earlier reply to remove the point you made about it being “politicians”.  Then you call me pathetic.    I’m  not trying to say you approve any of the ugly right wing nonsense.  But I AM Saying your earlier post suggesting  violent rhetoric being “left wing” was one-sided and incorrect 
    • I never said that. Saying I don’t like some of the rhetoric coming from the left doesn’t mean I approve of Farage et al saying that Afghans being brought here to protect their lives and thank them for their service means there is an incalculable threat to women.    Anything to score a cheap point. It’s pretty pathetic.
