hissingsid Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 It was definitely mis spoken by one of the new lot, they seem to be jettisoning the old order and getter newer models probably cheaper ones in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Peters Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Two people have left of their own volition and been replaced. You should have applied. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gettafa Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Hey Stu, what was it with that self-valediction on Mandate on Friday. I'd hardly heard of the lad, and yet he gave an histrionic philosophical good bye, complete with a long piece of music at the end. The lad is only stepping across the office to be paid by the BBC. Have you all got your on-air good bye speeches worked out? I blame Jonathan Ross, that ginger twanny Chris Evans and all the rest of them, egoed out on their self-importance.

Declan Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 That’s the nature of the sort of people who become radio djs. You’ve got to be full of your own self importance to imagine people want to listen to what you did at the weekend and your opinions on traffic and the bake-off for two hours every day. 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Peters Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Alex Bell and Catherine Nicoll (my old producer) have left MR News and gone to the BBC, which may have an office at Broadcasting House but is completely self-contained and funded through the TV License fee rather than commercial activity and an IOMG subvention. As to long farewell speeches, I expect mine will be short, pithy and not the kind of thing that will involve serving out a significant period of notice. Or maybe instead I'll have been shot in the head by my teenage lover's husband and you'll all have to say nice things about me for a bit (but not using the word 'delusional' please). 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
