Been using this to commute to work this week;



Trouble is it's still got the factory fitted MW/LW radio (not even a cassette player) and Five Live is the only station I seem to be able to get, I didin't pay much attention on Monday as I was still half asleep, didn't go to that job yesterday, so this morning was the first time I actually listened

Dear God I wish I hadn't : Richard Bacon and the clueless bint he has with him are so amateurish it defies belief, and the chimps they had on from 5pm were even worse

I wouldn't mind so much but my licence fee is going into funding that sh!te

Can someone recommend me a decent station that I can listen to until I can fit a new radio this weekend, please

FlightMan

Personally i think 5 live is pretty damn good.

If you want rubbish try Tawlk Spoort.

The BBC's best station imho, along with 6music

Fm is right about Talk Sport, it's the daily sport of sports radio.

j4ckos mate

cant stick 6 music, drive by shootin music,.


talk sport is the best or smooth fm,

5 live is too repetative, i also like to listen to the radio over the web on my psp at night, anyone heard alex jones ?

Quite like 5 live, although I agree Richard Bacon can get a bit tedious.

Fighting Talk is genius though, even makes Colin Murray bearable.

CrisPDuk, I can't believe for 1 minute that you honestly think Five Live is your biggest problem here.

Another vote for 5 Live and I quite like the Columbian Marching Powder snorter, Mr. Bacon!

As for Talk Sport, any station that has that clown George Galloway as a presenter just doesn't deserve my attention.

Put a cassette player in that and you'll double its value, you'd probably have to call your insurance company if you go with a CD player.
As to your original point, 5 Live or R4 are the only radio I listen to regularly. 5 is repetative between 4pm and 7pm, has in the last 5 years become dumbed down somewhat in line with the population and does have some particularly partisan hosts (seriously lefty liberals) like Colin Murray or Steve Nolan who tend to cut off or dismiss anyone saying anything that might be construed as anti gay, muslim, black etc. R4 is still true to form but is aimed at the more 'mature' listener.
You can still get Virgin on 1215 I think, where at least the music is OK (i.e. mostly not new).

Five live is tosh, five live sport extra is very good. But Talk sport has the best SPORTS CHAT (forget the numptys in the day) after 4 pm. I'm banned from going on air with talk sport after i gave Ray Houghton and the MANC **** (on saturday eve's) He's such a dick i cant be bothered to remember his name. Tried to get on, to, talk to Stan Collymore earlier today but they wont let me. LOL.

If it is a choice between 5 live and chris moyles in the morning... I would pick 5 live every time.
If it was a choice between chris moyles and having my ears injected with rat pee i would pick the rat pee every time.

Does that mean 5 live is good? Hmmmm I dont know

The Zohan

It was Victoria Derbyshire and Julian Worrkier who preseneted the show for a while now - it was a great show. I have a horrible feeling Bacon and trhe bint have taken over from them. In which case i shall be moving back to R4 or if i want music R2

Cannot stand R1 or any of the commercial station in the morning.

Robert Rosario

Or Alan Brazil, another classy human being!

Funkii Munkii

Fear not, Bacon does the 22.00 slot, a light hearted look at the world type of programme, he's just filling in on the breakfast show while Nicky Campbell is away.

Funkii Munkii

Or Ian Wright or that annoying bearded scouse **** who supports Everton etc etc

FlightMan

5 live has some cracking presenters though:

5 Live is the only station I listen to, if it gets boring I stick a CD on.

Agree about Richard Bacon, he's a muppet, but Nicky Campbell is very good, but Peter Allen from 4pm is the best! I think he may be away this week also!

PeteBrant

Five live is good for one thing - Sport. Thier news coverage is "ok". Peter Allen is ok, but Nicky Campbell is a dick.

Of course Radio 4 is easily the best radio station out there.

Paul3446

Strangely, I find Nicky Campbell a bit annoying on TV, but quite funny on the radio?

PeteBrant

Maybe that's it - I can't get past the mental projection of him in my head.

I do find he asks the most asinine questions sometime though

Paul3446

I think it's because his head looks too big on telly, or his shoulders are too small, I'm not sure which?

Thats clean for a 1989: sick wheels too, innit?

CrisPDuk

It's a genuine one lady owner car

My Aunt bought it new back in April 89, and gave it to me last month because she's bought newer one.

It's done 57k miles on two sets of tyres and spent pretty much every night of it's life in a garage

Until I got it the radio had never even been switched on


On the down side it's a 1.2 automatic, so it's not exactly brisk


PS: The wheels is off my '91 Golf 16V innit

I thought he was pretty good on the morning slot 9-12 as he is less partisan than most, but catch him on Watchdog and he's got that whole trousers/untucked shirt thing going on which I find fairly irritating (and he's a God-botherer).

I actually think that Micra looks quite good, I would like one myself but fitted perhaps with a Primera 2.0e GT engine in.

CrisPDuk

To be honest it's growing on me, apart from the radio, and the unsupportive seats that don't slide back anywhere near far enough (typical of jap cars of that era), it's not actually that bad

Kind of like a Mk1 Golf on Valium
