# That is why it is shit now.

# he's not there anymore is he?
he's on R1

luckily the only london based station i've ever been able to get is virgin. although since hiring christian "i'm funny, so i'll talk for three hours" o'connell they've gone downhill.

now have ian "i used to be famous" lee and JK and joel (whose first show was actually quite good)

# She is ace!
I read her books all the time! She wrote one book called "A Patchwork Planet" which is amazing! Its like a very accesible Catcher in the Rye. She is well worth reading I would say. Also, you should read The Lovely Bones if you havent too!
