Random Irritations

[Deleted member 21784]

We have R2 on at work in our factory. It is easy going, suits most of us, similar ages, musical tastes. Zoe Ball is enormously irritating but it is too much faff to change between stations just to avoid her. On a Thursday morning they have started doing a link up between different BBC stations, 1, Xtra, Asian Network and some other Yoof channel. Each channel intoduces and plays a song from 9am onwards. If I wanted to listen to a hyper active, falsely enthusiastic, down with the kids presenter I would listen to one of those stations . I don't so stop forcing them on me.

Ken Bruce must love that segment, it makes him look even better and more in tune with the station and listeners than he already is.

Just stick absolute radio on and don't change

Simple

Sounds like a station i'd enjoy. Any idea why they block listening overseas?

Bold, I may try that. We sometimes go Smooth Radio, keeps everyone relaxed, but I may try Absolute after Ken has finished his show for something new.

At a guess will it be about rights payments to artists, songwriters etc? I don't know this, educated guess.

I have it on now, two songs in, so far so good (just popped a UK postcode in when it questioned location)

They repeat a lot of the same songs and artists, get ready for a lot of George Michael, Whitney Houston, Phil Collins etc but it does what is says. If you want edgy tune in elsewhere. In the current times there is nothing wrong with a bit of Smooth (or did you mean Absolute? Ah well, either way I'm pleased you have been able to pick up what you wanted)

I can't remember the last time I listened to the radio. I'd have thought with Spotify and everything we have now, Radio listening figures would be at an all time low. Not that I use Spotify either. Just keep listening to those same mp3s I've dragged from device to device for 20 years.

99% of tracks are rubbish anyway, at least with radio you get some adverts & chit chat to break up the dross

Radio 6 mate, proper music, no bull$hit, no annoying kids music.
You can thank me later

The press talking about the fact that we are in recession as if it is some sort of shock and that there is blame to be apportioned. The global economy just had to be effectively shut down for 2 months, no real surprise there that this is going to have a dramatic impact on economic figures.

Our tee booking system is getting complicated
Initially the books opened Tuesday at 8 and we were allowed 1 time only until Saturday.
This morning, any times not booked were opened up for anyone to book...
Sunday to Saturday next week also opened Tuesday at 8 for a maximum of 3
But any uncooked slots go live to anyone else from tomorrow....
Times for the week after go live Tuesday at 8....
It's getting hard work keeping track of all the bookings, when you're allowed to book, how many, switching the 9s around some don't play the same every time....
Got a headache......

I listen to classic rock on Absolute and if you subscribe there are less ad breaks and they have a no repeat guarantee during the day.

Alexa is your friend for radio/music...
A polite request is all that is required ?...

I thought all he could do was beep and whistle. Unless you have C3-PO to translate ......

You are thinking of his cousin R2-D2

My car had a flat battery this morning when I was late for golf. Luckily Mrs H's car was just asking for a run.
