£292K not bad for a days work. Only another 22 hours to go for the poor chap.

 

"the poor chap" !

Think a sense of perspective is needed here, it's not as if he is the boss of the Fukushima nuclear power plant or someone who has just lost loved ones and everything they possessed in either the Australian floods, Christchurch earthquake or the Japanese megaquake etc etc

Hats off to anyone that has the pull to raise so much for any charity, but it's his choice so whethet you like him or not, I would certainly never deem Chris Moyles to be a 'poor chap'.

 

I don't mind him.

 

Got to say that I like Chris Moyles - good to see so much being raised (regardless of your opinion of the host).

 

and even when he does he talks all over it. Timed his "golden hour" last week as someone in the office insists we listen to it on a friday despite the local radio doing a much better one.

He played 30 mins of music. Fat oaf should be done under trades description. As should the 'Not at all' Comedy Dave. The whole show is about as funny as following through.

5t.

 

£510K ....

 

Staying up for 2 days and spewing into a mike between tracks isn't the greatest hardship a man has endured.

 

I was listening to it this morning, they had John Culshar on doing some impressions. His Brian *** voice reading the D-Ream lyrics was quite amusing.

But then Westwood come on and it dramatically went down hill, so much so I had to turn it off.

 

I like the Chris Moyles show, light hearted entertainment keeps me goin in the mornings at work....gotta love Carpark Catchphrase

Like him or not, they have now raised £641,726....which is a fair amount of money for charity no matter what way you look at it

 

love or hate him, they've (or the british public)have raised 900k ish now-I've only ever done a 30 hr shift(with proper breaks) and at the end of it i genuinly couldnt remember how to drive for 3 or 4 mins so hats off to them especially if they go for the 50 hrs like they are saying atm.
cheers richie

 

Maybe £20 of that will go to people who need it- the rest will go to there country's corrupt government-keep up the good work!

 

I did over 50 hours one time offshore and that involved handling radioactive sources and trying to save a job worth 100,000's of dollars. All with an angry boss breathing down my neck and various other angry idiots.

Then had about 4 hours sleep and up again for a long time.

Felt very ill and spaced out. Very unpleasant.

It's one think staying up a long time and having little of consequence to do, another to do a stressful job with real decision making etc where you might have been knackered even before the long shift.

 

Congrats to them both!! Now for the world record

 

Over a million now fair pay to em ..i donated a few £££

 

I fvckin' knew it!

I've always said he behaves like a "chip-on-his-shoulder" ex-bullied schoolkid. Because he's 'made it', he's using his success as a childish "ner ner ner ner ner" 2-finger salute to his bullying peers/doubters, etc. That aspect of his 'personality' really does come though IMO.

An embittered man (read dick, ****, et al).

 

Not wanting to call you as a talker of bovine excrement but for what company when and where?
Only asking like as a mate of mine is a rig manager for want of a better word and reckons the hours are tied down tighter than a gnats chuff with regards to silly length shifts
cheers richie

 

It's not always been like that and depends where in the world you work. Plus service hands tend to get more shafted anyway.

 

My mate works worldwide as a 'troubleshooter' and just reckons the industry is pretty tight and has been for 10 yrs plus working hrs wise-its just you didnt strike me as a poster as much past 30 if that lol
cheers richie

 

I'm 32.

Depends what you're mate does. This was on a ****ty jackup in a 3rd world country working for a 3rd world national oil company.

If you mate does subsea work or some hi-tech stuff he may never come across the **** end of the industry.

 

I'd donate if he offered to keep the **** OFF the radio for a week.

 

I haven't donated, instead I intend on spending my £1 on a lottery ticket in order to get myself out of poverty.

 

To hell with poverty. We'll get drunk on cheap wine.

 

He is going on holiday for two weeks from Monday, so I guess you should donate £2 ...

Steve

 

They have done the 50 hr record

 

fair play to them for raising the money, but he was being a right ***** to one of the callers this morning, time to stop me thinks

 

What time was that ?

 

World record beaten at 9:30 this morning and they've now raised £1.8m so fair play to them!

 

Well done Chris Moyles. Yes he only stayed awake for 50 hours, well 52, but raising nearly £2m is great.

 

Been feeling guilty every time I felt tired over the last 2 days! Love him or hate him, he's done something that a lot of us wouldn't do and for a great cause. I had a colleague say something like he should give up some of his salary if he's so great. Well, how about you doing the same! I know he's marmite, but even if you don't like him, you've still got to admire him for what he's done.

Oh, and the "Comedy" in Comedy Dave is ironic....

 

celeb rasberry girl, she was a bit peppy and hyper, but he kept cutting her off and calling her anoying. not ver professional cos def didn't come across as joking to me.
