Aw, I don't mind Scott for a while. As long as he doesn't do too many stupid prank phone calls, i hate those.

Laura's diary is so fake, and the Hoff is just irritating - oh no, maybe this is going to be awful after all!

If we can't have Chris, I'd much rather wake up with Vern myself... Mills is funny but over-rated! :roll:

I'd reather wake up to a horses head in my bed.

(In truth I'd love to wake up to a string quartet, like Eddie Murphey in Coming to America, I can but dream).

No fair, I want Chris, and if I can't have him I am going to be sick !

Mills is top choice replacement in my eye's I really like their show, they are exceptional juvenille, and silly which I like, and at the moment him and Jo Whilley are really digging at each other, Funny

They seem to get so many holidays, lucky people. I feel like I'm never on hol, but it's like every couple of months they are off again...is that cos they work so hard...?

Chris gets eight weeks holiday a year, I think.

The last holiday they had was at the start of July, so it has been a while.

he works 3 hours a day, so say 2 days a week in normal hours, so legally he can have 8 days off a year, which strictly could be covered by bank holidays.

And I know the show doesn't write itself, but if it's all adlibbed ( snigger ) then it does apparently

He may sometimes turn up just before the show starts but he doesn't just do the three hours..the team have their meetings after the show for a start.

legally speaking he isn't entitled to any holidays, being self-employed.

He's self employed - he can take off whatever time he like, I guess. You have to remember though, if he doesn't work, he doesn't get paid. So it isn't quite a cushy as it seems...!

Keep Coxy off the air for good - loudmouth (guttermouth) self-centered skanky northerner bint who would even fail on Bolton FM (or whatever it's called). Better still get Coxy to replace Johnny Yawn... that way Capital would be off the air in about 2 weeks!
