Talk about balls!! And this ain't "bag for balls" (!!)..... get Chris this morning having the bottle to send David Gest away, because he had failed to be on time !!! And it seems no-one had bothered to let the show know where he was (!!).

I like Mr Gest a LOT, and was REALLY looking f/ward to this morning's bit of banter, but if someone can't get with the programme, and be on time .... well, hard lard indeed.

[Yudster]

He'll be in trouble for that - but good on him.

[Vivienne]

I know, yuds..... too many of these "stars" tho' think they can just show face when they like, with little regard for throwing all the timing out of the entire show afterwards!!

[Ballbag]

So what actually happened, I missed the show can someone summarise?

Vivian, if it's you summarising, could you please do so with out using the word "happening", no smilies and no exclamation marks. I would be most gracious.

[Yudster]

Gest. Due. Late. Sent packing. End.

[Ballbag]

Did he actually get in to the studio before getting sent away? Or did he just not turn up.

[Yudster]

I don't think he got into the studio, but he was in the building.

[Vivienne]

So what actually happened, I missed the show can someone summarise?

I would say it's pretty clear how the morning went from my thread... also, if you don't like the punctuation, then you, like Mr Gest, can f*** off !!

[Ballbag]

Apologies Viv, I didn't find it particularly clear, hence my further questions.

Perhaps I'm being a denso.

[foot-loose]

No no BFB, quite clearly she was joking!

[Vivienne]

Wha is joking?

[riksweeney]

Good for Chris, why should he reschedule his entire show around Gest?

[Yudster]

Well the whole thing was rescheduled anyway wasn't it, Gest was supposed to be on last week but had needed to leave the country because his visa ran out or something dodgy - it was Aled who inadvertently broke the news about that, as far as I remember. What with that, and then being late this morning, I can see Mr Moyles running on a drastically shortened tolerence fuse, so I'm not surprised he carried through with the oft made threat of turning a late guest away. He's said he'll do it often enough, and now he finally has!

[claradooblue]

Moyles did seem pretty cheesed off with the situation didn't he, unsurprisingly. I like the idea of Aled having to turn Gest away in the reception in front of waiting paprazzi. I think there will be handbags at dawn for all concerned.

[Yudster]

I have a feeling that the BBC will not be happy. But I would think Moyles will have the public's support on it.

[claradooblue]

The tabloids will rather enjoy the whole event also most likely, so someone will benefit from it.

[Vivienne]

Yep, you're right.... BIG publicity for R1 basically !

[claradooblue]

Too further add to the listening figures....

[Yudster]

Ooh, you're getting into Bag for Balls' territory here, take care.......

[claradooblue]

A good conspiracy theory can liven up a day. Was it Prince Phillip who killed Diana by the way?!

[Yudster]

No - but isn't it amazing, how much Prince Harry looks like his dad? And how little he looks like Prince Charles?!

[foot-loose]

Awww. Its thanks to Diana that we have that nice memorial fountain in Hyde Park. And Paris has that lovely "SLOW" sign.

[claradooblue]

That godforsaken concert in the summer's going to be tedious i'd say. Maybe Harry will want to stay in Iraq that week. I hope i'll be away.

[Boboff]

Doors ? No I don't think Philip did that, it was Hatty Jake I think.

Hey, Prince Charles was in Tavistock today, I saw all the Police fuss, apparently 150 years of the Tavistock Gaurdian, I had to park a Mile from Somerfield ( Blackthorn on BOGOF ) I was not amused !

[claradooblue]

Crikey. So there was a military coup in Birmingham and Prince was in Tavistock. The security forces must have been hard at work today.
