Chris Moyles
I'm sure there are plenty, and will be plenty more posts in which Moyles is the object of our dissaffection.

However, his show merely shadows that of the days of Chris Evans on Radio one. The difference being that Evans' show was pretty groundbreaking, close to the knuckle, witty and had an endearing quality about it, mainly due to the fact that no member of the show slagged people off thinking it was funny. Their humour had nothing to do with belittling people who call in or so-called celebrities - unlike those on the Moyles show.

Meanwhile, Evans is shoved onto Radio 2 while that fat, greasy, bitter damanged git gets the Radio one spot.

Bring back Evans. All is forgiven.

Well said, Sir! Moyles is a foul, obnoxious, misogynistic self-serving cunt without an a single ounce of humility, charm or grace about his offensively obese waddling lardarse frame.

It's really surprising that many seem to like him? Do they really like him? Would they be happy if he came home with their daughter?

I tried giving Evans a go when Wogan left the Breaky show
I gave up after 2 weeks. Taking the format of your drive time show and transplanting to the morning slot does not work. Nor does adding phone calls from your listeners who invariably have fuck all to say as they go from (probably) reasonably sane and intelligent to inane, dribbling buffoons just because they're live on air.

His first mystery guest should have convinced me to turn off straight away. Fifty year old 'eccentrics' who punctuate every statement of what they've done with "I'm crazy, me! I'm mad, I am!" needs to be shoved on the first flight to Australia, driven to the desert and left to wait and see which venomous creature bites them first.

Fair comment
But he at least he isn't 100% pure, neat, unadulterated cunt like Moyles.

I don't actually mind Evans
I just don't think the tone of his breaky show is right for Radio 2. Get rid of the annoying features and it might be OK. I did quite like his Radio 1 breaky show though. Maybe I'm getting old.

Yeah
agreed, but I think he may have had his reins pulled in by the bods at the BBC as part of the deal to get the morning show.

Give him a little time - he takes to the radio like fish to water IMO, if he's allowed a little slack, he'll make something of it I'm sure.

.
hang on, not belittling people?
wasn't it Chris Evans that had a local DJ on, and then endless made jokes about how crap his job was and how much poorer he was than himself?

I
haven't heard that.

No
I like the fact that all the shit DJs are on Radio 1. It means that I have absolutely no reason to listen to it. If there were decent DJs on there I might be tempted to listen and thus run the risk of having to hear music from the X Factor.

Both R
Idiots, who are self serving twats.

Afraid I never liked the ginger twat - he pissed me off with his toothbrush show.

Moyles was good - been there too long now and would consider him a bully.

Within 18 months, Scott (not really sure which way I sway) Mills will take the primetime slot.

Mark my words - you saw it here first.

Plus - chelsea for the league and cup double.

Conservatives to win the next election.

Murray to win a grand slam this season.

Spain to win the world cup.

Odds on all that?
