I've never heard her telling people what to like and what not to like.

If you're talking about Martin Lewis (though I've not heard him on Whiley's show, I think he is the guy that does the financial advice on there), he's actually very good and his web site (Money Saving Expert) is extremely informative and interesting.

she doesnt tell people what to like and what not to like exactly, hence why i used the word BASICALLY!

Yeah that's the pr1ck! Cant stand him! Also the gadget "expert" who's trying to get all friendly with Moyles by "challenging him on this call of duty thingy. The fashion one is the only one i can think of that is half decent, and that's only cos i wanna know how much its gonna cost me this year!

I don't think she even implies she would like to tell you what to like and what not to like, myself.

But you can't deny that he knows his stuff, which is presumably why they have him on.

I've just read his book, which is very informative.

Yes.

My favourite was a girl who had had to leave uni and pretty much had become a prisioner in her own home because of a problem with her inner ears that caused her to have very bad balance / migranes etc etc.

The changing track was Vic Reeves and the Wonderstuff - Dizzy.

That would be a horrible thing to have happen, chronic dizzines and being stuck in your own home. Although the Xbox Live opportunities would be endless!

She was on the game? - Blimey?

And people say Jo's show is getting boring?

Another thing I dislike about Jo's show is the "Changing Tracks" time after 1100 hours. Last week's was "remarkable" with some guy standing on the edge of a wall in china, contemplating ending it all, then a song came on, which got him off the wall. Guess what it was? Crazy!! (Gnarls Barkeley).

what are you talking about? It wasn't a long way off. He was on the edge.

I think that track would tip me over the edge, not the other way round.

I also find the 'Rocked' and 'Sucked' item a struggle to listen to.

"Sam in Dartford says what Rocked is I went to see Take That last night...and what Sucked is that my exams have just started." SO WHAT? WHO GIVES A MONKEY'S?

Fair enough, we all have minor ups and downs in our weeks...but is it entertainment?

Question...

If people don't like a particular show, why do they listen to it? I suppose it's fair enough complaining about it if they HAVE to listen to it, but surely the majority of the time, people could choose to listen to another station? Or a CD?

I mean, I'm not saying that people shouldn't complain - god knows I have given Mr Mills plenty of abuse, but I also don't listen to his show all that often.

Just an observation is all.

I have another observation, and it is that I really like Alfie's avatar.

Thanks Yudster!

Actually I agree with foot-loose. No one is forced to listen to any show, and generally I don't listen to Jo.

I suppose my point is that it is a shame that Radio1 can't maintain throughout the day what Moyles starts!There must be hundreds of talented people who would love to have a shot at the 10am radio slot!

Of course it's all subjective, I'm sure Jo has lots of fans!

She is quite self-important, and quite abrupt with listeners too, I think, sometimes.

I can't remember the whole thing, but was that not a complete piss take? Zane Lowe did something similar and there was audio of Vernon Kay being an arse to a caller as well.
