Just curious.

Who here has called, texted or emailed in to the show? Has anyone ever been on Carpark Catchphrase, One Road Travel, Celebrity Tarzan, etc...?

I've texted in a few times for random polls but they've never read any out, to my knowledge. I've never called in - I don't have any great desire to be on the radio, really.

Mark & Lard used to read my texts and requests out often, but I think that was cos I've met them both thru work. Mark chose the building where I work as his favourite building for a BBC TV programme, so he knew who I was if I put that in with my name.

I've texted in once or twice, but like you, never been read out as far as I know. I've also texted Mark and Lard once; I requested a "'ello Laaaaandon Faaaarh Brigaaayd" for my mum, that was ages ago though.

I got a "biggedy biggedy bong" once (a bloke who works in the galleries here came up to me in the canteen the following day and asked, serious-faced, "did you get a biggedy biggedy bong yesterday?"), and an "is it worth owt?" which was for my colleagues, cos it reminded me of people who call us and think they have an original Lowry painting in their attic.

You are just determined to never let anyone hear your voice ;-)

I've e-mailed a few times just but nothing special :-)

I've texted the studio and got my text read on air,
It was quite random as i've just finnished my nightshift and was dead tired, I randomly texted that There was a lot of SNIEG in Edinbnurgh and that my bus was delayed by 20 minutes. (instead of snow i wrote snieg in Polish)

You can have a listen (average quality tho)

I used to text in about 3-4 times a month, mostly at the start of the show to comment on something. I'd always start with "Morning fatboy and the R1 team" :P No wonder I never got a mention :)

About a year and a half ago, i texted something into zane lowes show and won a load of cds. I don't really text any of them now. I think i used up my good luck quota on that one.

I've a texted a few times... my last one was on Monday in support of Moyles not letting Jordan on the show! I've never once had a text picked up by Moyles' show and read out.

I've had texts read out by The Mills, but most of my texts seem to be read out by Sara Cox - I'd say she picks my texts up as high as 7 times out of 10! Love her!

I've had texts and emails read out by most of the DJs now, never from Moyles though...

I reckon it must be to do with the UTTER volume of texts and e-mails that must land into Moyles' show!

I have a DJ that I "stalk" on XFM London. J Hillcock from 1am till 6am I listen on the nightshift. Noone texts him so when I text he always reads it out. He already knows me and Its quite funny. Anyway...

I tried to text once, but instead of 81199, I think I did 89911, or something, and anyway all I got back was a text of a "sexually dominatory" nature, I haven't had the nerve to do it again for fear of more rudeness,

Happy ending though, I get the shit knocked out of me once a week now, which is nice

Beats colonic irrigation anyway. Allegedly.

I stopped growing things on my colon, negating the need for any irrigation.

I emailed Five Live with a question for Graham Poll but I doubt very much it could have gone out on air.

Was it 'how has such a sh*t referee like you made it to the World Cup' or something similar?
