Fuckers
I will never, ever, for the life of me, understand why people bother to phone up a radio station to request a well-known song by a group they really love. You must have your own copy of it, you cunts!

And why the FUCK would you do it if it was UB40?

I must say
that you have a very good point.

perhaps slightly overstated.

Calm yourself down a bit, have a wank before you post again.

It's alright for you
you're not in a UB40-polluted soundscape.

What you need right now is Enigmatic's version of popcorn.
That'll sort you right out.

Only if I can have a photo casebook

If you can do that

I must confess
That I quite liked their first couple of albums.

All the pop reggae stuff was shit though.

What gets me,
is phoning up to request a record that's already on heavy rotation. Morons.

I got an e-mail from Claire Sturgess, once. I was rather chuffed at the time.
(, Tue 12 Apr 2005, 11:48, archived)
I suspect that in those cases
the record is scheduled to be played anyway, and if someone happens to have requested it the DJ might as well make 'em happy.
(, Tue 12 Apr 2005, 11:50, archived)
Fair enough, I suppose.
Doesn't really explain the mentality of the people who phone up to "request" a record that's being played at least once every hour anyway.

Mutter, mutter, grumble...

It's not enough to like things
you have to impose them on other people as well, and sneer at them if their tastes differ from yours.
This explains driving around with car windows down and stereos at ridiculous volumes, and cramming irrelevant TV quotes into gaps in conversation.

T'was a bit of a pub meme from late 2002 until Little Britain became the moron's choice of show to quote.

Oh, right.
Probably from "Phoenix Nights", then? Never watched that, either. Quite enjoyed "Road to Nowhere," though.

though I do the car stereo thing myself sometimes for the sole reason of pissing people off.

and if it's hot, i want my window down. I'm not trying to impose anything on anyone, just enjoying myself.

If you're enjoying yourself at the expense of pissing off other people,
you're a sociopath.
Everyone has the right to be sociopathic once in a while, I geuss, but I've no respect for those who make a habit of it.

I've just decided that I want
a stereo that has a capslock key instead of a volume control knob.

Maybe they want other people to hear it? Or they just want to get on radio. And you can't expect people to request songs they don't like.
(, Tue 12 Apr 2005, 11:49, archived)
this.
and it could be quite a romantic gesture. If the song isnt UB40.
(, Tue 12 Apr 2005, 11:51, archived)
Or if your
beloved secretly really likes UB40, maybe because they have sentimental, nostalgic reasons, even if they realise they're actually quite shit musically... In that case it might be a thoughtful gesture.

Beloveds like that
need a good kicking, right up the bits.

This may well be true
Although I suspect "re-education" might be a more diplomatic way of approaching it..

First point, maybe
second point, cretins. Third point, I expect them to request songs I like and haven't heard in a while, and will be pleasantly surprised to hear again.Like "Somewhere in My Heart" by Aztec Camera.
