So explain Ken Bruce only being on about £400k then?

Or Graham Norton on about half as much as her?

The others don't particularly irritate me, she does; she appears to make a profession out of putting out spoilers for TV programmes that people have recorded.

New car getting delayed again, may be time to look at other options ?

Don't listen to her?

I said I'll take it without & just have non metallic finish, only to be told it wasn't made/sold in anything other than metallic paint finish!

The one that irritates most is the next one on the list that you missed out. Alan Shearer - £390,000-£394,999. 400K for watching football once a fortnight and talking about it for 10 minutes. Makes Zoe Ball look good value.

She is awful, painful. Most of the stand ins on R2 are pretty good but they have got her badly wrong.

Re-open the thread, go on, you know you want to. Or am I just bored at work

Don't listen to her?

The bedside clock radios are manual tuners and every other time of the day we listen to Radio 2, so retuning them every night would be a further random irritation; be easier if they binned her off.

She does if I listen to her but she is generally on at times that I can avoid her, so not so much of an issue as dear Zoe.

Hope the Mrs. is feeling better. ?

and I get grief for not having a DAB radio in the car lol

The clock radios are digital & analogue, but just don't have presets.

HID got a new car a couple of months ago (ok we have to pay for it for three years but you know what I mean) and it comes with DAB. Like a kid in a sweetshop especially with 16 pre-set channels to programme in. Heaven

I'm totally ambivalent towards Ms Ball as I never hear her.

More troubling, as I often watch MOTD, is the amount of licence fee being paid to the nonentity that is Gary Lineker.

All the footballing insight of Miss Marple and all the personality of a pile of.......

 

[ColchesterFC]

I'm bored!

Spend weeks getting HID to choose some new furniture (TV stand and Cabinet), the one chosen is on a 20-30 weeks delivery, yes 20-30 WEEKS. Yes I've rung them to confirm. Luckilly I've chosen another. Fingers crossed she'll okay them. Only 7 weeks delivery.
