Ive been listening to him since Capital FM although one of my first things I remember from him is on the Early Bit where the great feature was throwing stuff at the studio clock! Classic!

What was your first memory of him?

[SAV1OUR]

Once upon a time I was a student downloading stuff off Napster (cos every other * was doing it) and I came across this really funny clip by accident, somebody was singing the 'Match of the Day' theme tune "I'm naked in Sky Magazine I'm naaked in Sky, if you buy Sky magazine you'll see my arse in Skky.." All I knew back then was that was very funny, some bugger off the radio I assumed, and that was that.

Next time after that I remember being in a car in a McDonalds carpark in the afternoon and I recognised it was Chris this time, he'd just started his show by playing that catchy tune 'Absolutely Flawless' I think he said he liked it.
But it didn't really all begin til January 2004, that was the proper birth of radio for me. Chris - "Aled, how would you describe the history of that jacket?" Aled - "Eh?" Chris - "Doesn't matter."

The one thing that sticks in my memory is of his TV show on UK Play, Comedy Dave being dressed as a jockey. I have no idea why that has stayed with me after all these years

[MK Chris]

That was his show on UK Play or whatever it was called.

I first noticed Moyles in about 1995. I was driving up the M1 to my girlfriends house in Luton, and Dr Fox was annoying me on Capital (hey no surprises there!). I tuned into Chiltern FM and heard Chris talking over the start of an E17 record. Chris asked what do horses eat, and Brian Harvey sang hey. Made me laugh at the time anyway! Around that time he used to mix John Lennon's Imagine with Oasis' Don't Look Back In Anger. Very similar........... but legally different no doubt!

From R1 times, the Saturday shows were awesome. Very hung over, but so funny.

I can see how you were in need of cheering up.

With a mixture of Dr Fox and Luton, it's no wonder we split up!

[MK Chris]

She obviously didn't live by Marsh Farm, otherwise you wouldn't be here to tell the tale.

[ladbroke]

Was not far from the Arndale centre. Absolute hell hole! Seriously rougher than many London Boroughs!

[TIAL]

Unfortunaltey my first memory of Moyles is him being very rude to a caller on late night radio (either Capital or Radio 1, I can't remember) and my parents tutting and changing the station.

I'm an addict to (the slightly more mature) Moyles now, although my parents still remember him as the abrasive, rude loud-mouth who had no respect on late night radio

[C-Kay]

Heh, so it was.

[Yudster]

I used to love the beery Saturday shows. He is less "laddish" these days, which is probably good.

[Zoot]

I used to listen to him about 15 years ago on severn sound, doing his 'late bit'. I remember he had a character called 'Little Fella', and on his very last show he organised a kickaround in a lay by on the top of birdlip roundabout, where he promised anyone who turned up (at 2 in the morning) a bacon bap.

[Ezza]

Batch. Its a bacon BATCH.

I really started to get into his Shows, when he was still in the afternoons, so it's not really that far back.

[MK Chris]

Batch. Its a bacon BATCH.

No it's not.

[Ezza]

Yes it is.

[Vivienne]

Stop arguing, children.

[MK Chris]

Yes it is.

A batch could perhaps to several bacon baps or rolls (as in a batch of bacon rolls), since a batch is a collection of things of the same kind. But not a roll.

[TIAL]

"bacon batch"? Never heard of one.

[Ezza]

In Coventry, it's a batch. Bacon batch, Chip batch, Ham batch...

[MK Chris]

In Coventry, it's a batch.

Well, that explains why it is wrong.

[Yudster]

There is a kind of soft floury loaf called a Batch loaf. They are bigger than baps, but greedy people might conceivably use them in the same way. I suggest that this is where the variation has arisen.

[MK Chris]

Good, that settles that then. People in Coventry are fat *.

[Ezza]

I'm not a fat *!
