Your responces ARE funnier than the posts.

The "joke" stopped being funny when Nic said the pages changed on number of posts, not length, I did feel silly then!

I think Chrys made the Wiki thing up.

I've just decided I want my fringe cut. This is just over a week after I was last in Preston (where my hairdresser is). I'm not planning to go back for 6wks. Why did I not decide this two weeks ago?? I don't wanna go somewhere else cos a) all hairdressers in Manc charge a fortune and b) I'm very nervous about having my hair cut and don't wanna entrust it to a stranger. Grr.

Annoying me and making me feel sad at the same time, most of our office has been put "wt.risk" with a person from each department having to lose one person, although my department was the only one not effected (so far), I feel absolutely awful especially as in one of the departments I'm friends with all the people effected.

I know it's happening everywhere now but we're a really close office and some of them I've worked with since the day I joined there 9.5 years ago

They do have a point y'know..

Annoying me is the awkward moment on the final day of my gym membership I get some personal trainer offering many kinds of epic help with nutrition, promises of assistance with workout and emails with info on everything.

All I could do was be incredibly vague..

"I'm pretty random, really not sure when I'll next be in, yeah I mean I'm sure I'll catch you around...."

Was like the scene from that film 'the river wild' where the ranger pops by to ask if everything is hunky dory, but kevin bacon is holding a gun behind them and they have to assure him everything is juust fine!

Gooooogle have simplified their privacy settings to help them target better advertising, and improve their revenue........

And thats a Bad thing?

* BBC and moaning arse twats, they get the service for * all and moan that the settings, which you can opt out of or remain annonymous, have been simplified, and improved, so you may get an advert for something you have a demand for, and you moan....* idiots.

Also John Bishop, Chris Moyles show, give us a £1, ITS A RADIO SHOW, not some Satelite giving Advert, Shut the * up and talk bollocks like normal, it gets on my TITS.....

My knee still hurts 3 weeks after spraining it.

It's irritating me too. It's just so persistent. It also makes me feel vaguely guilty for not donating - my mum pays my phone bill (in the fashion of a teenager) cos I can't get credit, so if I text I'm effectively making my mum donate without her say-so.

Not if you give her the money back.

They HAVE to do stuff like this to get them to donate, it has to be relentless otherwise people will forget. Slightly different, but to illustrate the point, if you are organising something that you want people to come to - say a local sports tournament - most people who say they're going to enter actually won't unless they are hassled and hassled until they do. That's human nature, people forget, or they're lazy or whatever the reason may be.

I'm enjoying the talk about it myself... I am feeling guilty about not donating, but I am so desperately skint at the moment, I'm not sure I can even spare £1 - I definitely would if I could.

True, but then she'd text me questioning the bill, and I'd have to remember to give it her, and I don't see her particularly often. I do have an old handset with a PAYG sim with credit still on it, so I can use that to donate by text, but obviously I don't have it with me when I'm out in the mornings.

Yeah, I know, I appreciate the advice and that was the whole point of the practise interviews, but I meant that it was annoying me because I could have tried harder.

It is doing my head in. It is just the most boring, sycophantic, schmaltzy radio you can imagine. It makes me want to stick my fingers down my throat and puke. All this talk about trying to make listeners feel guilty about not giving money, and Moyles going on about how 'proud' he is of the listeners and that awful line about Bishops son, no sorry 'boy' having some X-Ray done...

And those people who text in letting everyone know that they have donated. Charity should be altruistic in my book. if you find the need to brag about your good deed then you are only looking for a pat on the back. I mean, how many charities are we supposed to give to? The chuggers when I walk down the street? The person sat outside the supermarket rattling a tin for guide dogs? Sport Relief? Cancer Research?

I could go on forever about just how awful this weeks shows have been. The only thing that comes close to this is the week with Olly Murs.

Thats pretty much what i was thinking. Especially the last sentence.
Though i do enjoy the bits where they are talking to Bishop himself, but the X Ray thing was embarrassing ( i don't think this was Bishops fault because there is no way he would have carried on if the boy was seriously hurt in any way, he just mentioned it in passing & it was seized on in the studio).

And the people shouting about how f**king generous they are is really nauseous.

Today's show started brilliantly too, with Aled doubting the existence of pencils with rubbers on the end :lol: . But sadly went rapidly downhill after 7.00.

* twats, using their show to push their only major company wide charity drive this year. This is almost as bad as the time Chris climbed a 'mountain' and constantly asked for money.

I hope they burn in hell for having the audacity to infringe on the show that we pay our licence fee for. We deserve better.

Bring back the marathon show, at least that entertained us while we pretended to care about the plight of others.

Harsh words there Chrysostom. I don't believe people are saying that. They're saying that constant harping on about anything becomes repetitive and annoying quite quickly. This is a complaint expressed whenever they give something a big push, eg Hackney Weekend etc. The issue is not that we're all tight fisted and refuse to donate money to worthy causes.
