If a shit tune comes on I'll just switch to Absolute 80's or 90's or Absolute Classic Rock. Usually at least one version has different ad breaks as well. I can't listen to Radio 2, the odd sprinkling of decent tunes spread out between dance music, boy and girl bands and singer songwriters. Plus annoying presenters. Mrs Sidcow tends to listen to it, I have to put up with it till midday when Jeremy Vine comes on so I can switch to Absolute when he starts his nonsense. Even Mrs Sidcow won't listen to that stuff. In the wife's car the DAB is usually switched between Planet Rock and Absolute Classic Rock. But even they are annoying. They always have an ad break at the same time, and on many instances when I've switched from one to the other, they are playing the same **** artist, usually Def **** Leppard or Bon Bastard Jovi. In the house I usually listen to 101.5 Bob Rocks (tri States Area) even their ads are more interesting and fewer. Who doesn't want to listen to the offers from the local gun shop?

bobzy Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 Spotify everything for me - don't listen to radio at all anymore. Well, occasionally 5 Live but that's it. TalkSport comfortably, comfortably the worst of them though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 I listen to Radio 4. Partly to know my enemy. 7:40am this morning ‘the price rises aren’t just affecting the poor, here’s Ian who owns an IT company…’ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 Ray Parlour and Alan Brazil doing a Tour of the UK. I suppose it's just talking about there life and how good it's been. £40 a ticket, I mean who goes to these events? If it's anything like what he talks about on Talk Sport, I mean anyone of us could do the same event. They were footballers, but there's nothing we don't already know, apart from the stories when they get hammered, if that's what you want to hear about.

mjmooney Posted April 1, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted April 1, 2022 I hate radio. All of it. About the only station I can tolerate is Radio 3, and even that can be shite. Mrs M drives me insane by her obsession with the tedious wittering of Radio 4. We can be watching TV in the living room, and she nips out to the kitchen for a drink. Switches on R4. Immediately returns to the TV, leaving the radio murmuring away. I sigh, and go out and switch it off. Repeat, numerous times a day, every day, forever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted April 1, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted April 1, 2022 Combining the radio chat with discussion the other day about quoting lines from tv or film in every day conversation, I can confirm that this scene has been replicated on more than one occasion when it’s been suggested we listen to something in the car - 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Xela Posted April 1, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 1, 2022 I'm beginning to strongly dislike some 'fans' who post in the on-topic section. I need to step away from the keyboard and not let it bother me as its a ridiculous thing to get wound up by. I feel angry at myself for feeling like this! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be honest I buy Yorkshire puddings when I'm doing a roast. I can make them but it's a faff and not sure it's worth it when you can just buy 4 very nice ones (which just end up covered in gravy anyway) for £1 and throw them in the oven for 5 minutes.
