    Particularly the BBC news. There's no consistency between the local news forecast, and then the national weather forecast straight afterwards, which is often contractadictory.

    Same here. When he was on the breakfast show recently it was worth listening to for once.

    Chris Moyles, now there is an infantile, unfunny slab of muck who likes the sound of his own voice too much. I typically alternate between Absolute and X in my car, except in the mornings when I boycott the latter. I never hear any songs. Just Moyles and his sychophantic squad of morons laughing at their own basic jokes.

    Chris Moyles joins a long list of ******* irritating breakfast radio dj's who love themselves and are surrounded with mindless idiots that laugh at anything they say.

    I really like Johnny Vaughan, one of the few genuinely funny radio presenters out there.

    Moyles is just the worst. I have no idea how he got as far as Radio 1, let alone sustained a career. Never been remotely funny and surrounds himself with equally as appalling "yes" men, as you say. Years ago he had a slot on his show where he had a regular caller who had learning difficulties and the whole segment was based around ripping it out of him. That's his level.

    Getting an email saying I'm still only number 818 on the waiting list for a season ticket, despite being on the list for 2/3 years now.

    I like Johnny Vaughan too. Many moons ago I had the opportunity to be a guest on "The Big Breakfast" with him but, being very young with no experience of being on TV, I chickened out (which was ironic considering I ended up working as a presenter myself). Anyway, I went along with my colleague who was brave enough to go in front of the cameras and then, after the show, we went for actual breakfast with the crew and I ended up sitting next to Vaughan himself. I can report that he was very nice and friendly. I can also report that I had a huge crush on him at the time and that, instead of sweeping him off his feet with my flirtatious and witty banter as I had envisioned in my head, the reality was I became uncharacteristically shy and tongue tied and said about two words the entire time we were "dining" together. The rest, as they say, is not History and I did not become Mrs Vaughan.

    Once Javi leaves, Pereyra, Doucoure and Deulefeo go and we replace them all with loans from Udinese, then lose our first 8 games, you'll find things move much quicker next season

    It's amazing just how much you can lose your confidence and come out with complete crap when meeting certain people. I once bumped into Aidy Boothroyd by the old ticket office in the rookery in the promotion season and he must have thought I was severely autistic from my ridiculous efforts at conversation.

    On the other hand I did once end up going drinking with Mani from the Stone Roses and had a right laugh.

    What did / do you present?

    I used to live near Highbury and once saw Tony Adams sat on a bench. I waved at him - God knows why - not in a manly way, but instead like an eight year old schoolgirl. He looked...puzzled.

    Bizarrely, I also bumped into Aidy Boothroyd - by a swimming pool in Portugal. He had left Watford by this point, but I did have a very quick exchange of pleasantries with him which I think only consisted of me declaring myself as a Watford fan and wishing him all the best. The brevity of the exchange was definitely not because I had a crush this time!

  17. Or mentioning one of his "celebrity mates", which he needs to do every 5 seconds.

    Stopped listening to xfm, or what became radio x, as soon as he and Vernon Kaye started.

    I was 350ish and had a call at 9.50 this morning. I presume not many ahead were picking up the phone. There might be hope for you yet.

    If that's the size of the waiting list, the club should be booting out anyone with less than 50% attendance.

    There is a family of four next to me all with season tickets and I reckon they've been to about 3 games in the season just gone. I think if they do the same again they will lose their season tickets

    Should count himself lucky. In 1827 we didn't even have a football club to join the waiting list for season tickets for.

    Admiral multi car insurance.

    I may have a new driver in the house if she passes her test next month so I've been going through the agony of insurance quotes for new drivers. After a few hours of this, (starting at £4k and coming down slowly), I read about multi car insurance so spent 30 minutes filling out the pages and pages of information on Admirals site. Right at the last step after hitting submit it informed me I'd need to speak to an advisor. So I reluctantly called and they don't have the online details I just filled in. I basically told them to do one and hung up. I'd class them as the second biggest **** I've come across this year.

    As a new driver, it's probably best if you start her off in the one car

    Yeah I'm fully aware of that, (apologies if I missed a moog joke there), so with the multicar thing you put in all details of all cars and all drivers then assign drivers to cars. I read in a few places that this was a good idea to get prices down by having a "family" policy. As you can imagine, this took a good while to input on sadmirals site.

    My guess is the large insurance companies are wary of the fact that their dominance is diluted bu comparison sites.

    Ultimately any sane person under 60 goes onto one or more comparison sites and gets their insurance that way.

    These multicar policies and other package deals can only be bought direct and promise massive savings, so they're trying to divert people onto their own site and scare them away from separate policies.

    Unfortunately they make it unwieldy and complicated so people just fick off.

    When your sister (whose email details are on our season ticket application) goes on holiday, then forwards you - this morning - an email that was sent yesterday morning saying that we are eligible for season tickets, but only if we ring the ticket office by the end of that day (i.e. yesterday). I need to step away from the keyboard now, for fear of making the swear filter on here spontaneously combust.
