Radio ga ga
It is BBC Radio 2 week in the work this week. It's the really old stuff just now. We have a radio rota in place for the office which includes one week of Radio One, one week of Radio Clyde, one for Real radio and one for Radio 2. The two Scottish channels are, by far, the worst. When they are not playing adverts advertising tiles, they play the same songs over and over again with the most annoying Scottish people they could possibly find, as DJs. I used to dislike listening to Radio 2 in work but now I consider it heaven compared to these scottish channels. Although it does go a bit too old after seven o'clock. Up until then you have Steve Wright in the afternoon and the nutty, over enthusiastic, Chris Evans. Chris Evans is great to listen to. A lot of people do find him annoying but I would have to disagree. He's easily one of the most entertaining DJs on radio at the moment. I used to quite enjoy his tv shows and he was always a bit crazy like the moment the Big Breakfast cameras caught him snogging Kim Wilde when they came back from an ad break. It was half seven in the morning and he was on the pull already?! Russell Brand, Jonathan Ross, Mark Radcliffe and Dermot O'Leary are also on 2 regularly now after the BBC obviously decided to try and raise it's popularity alongside Radio 1. Most of these guys are usually a good laugh especially Russell Brand, whose insane babblingly is always entertaining. Another one that some folk find annoying but as you may have already realised from reading this, I'm no stranger to insane babbling myself! Chris Moyles babbles on Radio 1 as well, of course, but sometimes he goes a bit too far especially with some of the folk that phone him up to play his stupid quiz, Carpark Catchphrase. He ends up being plain verbally abusive to some of them. But then if your stupid enough to phone up for a quiz with no prizes whatsoever I suppose you probably deserve some abuse. It's often half the entertainment anyway. Real Radio has the worst case of idiotic phonecallers though. A football phone in that literally makes your ears bleed. Numbskulls phoning up, shouting down the phone about football teams which they could run far better in their own, often very loud, opinions. Thankfully, it's not Real Radio week.
