welshbairn Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 They really are phoning it in with these post-Larsson Dragon Tattoo sequels. Couldn't get past the first chapter of the current one. Turgid writing by numbers stuff. The originals were unputdownable until you finished. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernJambo Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Some c**t has changed the radio station to radio 6 when I was out the office yesterday. It was radio 2 previously which was okay but not great then radio x which again was okay but radio 6 has been pish all morning. Is there a polite, hassle free way of changing it without annoying whoever has picked it? Edit: radio 6 has improved a bit with some very strange, slightly annoying but very catchy tunes. Better than total pish of this morning. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthernJambo Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 If anyone tried to change my radio away from 6 Music I would go apeshit. It's improved since this morning. I'm not sold on it though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Radcliffe & Stewart Maconie are on in the afternoons 1-4. They do some decent interviews, generally a good laugh and know their stuff when it comes to all sorts of music. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of them had a foul-mouthed rant and that was that. Fat Harry White pops in now and again though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnightswoodBear Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 It's all just been a slow slide to mediocrity for Radio since Mark and Lard chucked it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lauren Laverne show is very hard on the ears. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.A.F.C Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Mark and lard were the best thing on radio one. Now it's all pc areskissing shite apart from Scott mills who at least tries different stuff. You could replace any presenter with another and they would come out with the same shite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better than total pish of this morning. Unfortunately Radio 6 is the station of choice in mine, it's fucking atrocious most of the time.Every so often the music hits peak weird (some c**t playing the glockenspiel or similar) and it gets changed to something else, but the hipsters in the office aren't keen on relinquishing their icy grip on it so it's usually switched back the next day.I'd have Radio 2 on all day long. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
