RMweb Gold wombatofludham Posted May 28, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 28, 2018 Slightly off topic, but has anyone noticed just how many Queen tracks are being used in adverts at the moment! There seems to be loads. Brian May wants a new telescope, clearly. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium John M Upton Posted May 28, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 28, 2018 Adverts rewriting classic music for their own ends are one of my really big bugbears. It fills me with dread to think that the young of today will grow up thinking the late great Freddie Mercury wrote 'Another one drives a Duster...' There is also a dreadful low calories biscuit thing advertised with a badly adapted version with a Bonnie Tyler song as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharkman Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 If I've got the picture right, I'm afraid she is not one of Scotland's' finest exports.... Whatever happened to the educational element of the BBC? Harumph, Harumph! Letter to the times, methinks! Colonel Custard-Golightly Anita's lovely and i think she should have her own show.

caradoc Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 BBC Breakfast this morning had a feature about a possible new law regarding dangerous cycling, which included an interview with the man whose wife, a pedestrian, was sadly killed by a cyclist in London last year. Sally Nugent, who until now I considered one of the better presenters, asked the man if his wife was a keen cyclist, obviously being totally unaware of the circumstances of the accident; How could a presenter be so utterly ignorant of a case which was national news, and so poorly briefed about her role, not to mention totally insensitive ?

RMweb Gold russ p Posted August 13, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 13, 2018 Add Charles Hanson to the annoying mix. Think he's a bit of a crank, he took a picture of a 68 I was driving at Norwich last year and said hello Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Joseph_Pestell Posted August 13, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 13, 2018 Has anyone noticed that big Steff McGovern has disappeared from BBC Breakfast since her public spat over pay, deliberately sidelined or working on other projects? Probably just on holiday. Cevans has to be the worst grotesquely ignoramus on BBC radio. He needs to go. Latest nonsense he was boasting recently that his house was television free----- no telee! yet this morning was rabbitiing about the new Autumn schedules and the previews he had watched this very morning before going to "work". These arrogant people do not know the meaning of the word. Perhaps he has his TV in a "man cave" in the garden shed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium 45156 Posted August 15, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 15, 2018 Another vote for Chris Evans - he really is the most irritating individual, but in the morning, I do like some music, and Radio 2 is about the only station that I can stand.

He's been hosting Car SOS for several years now, alongside their expert, Fuzz Townshend, Fuzz's fine but Tim's antics grate after a while... Seems every show has to have one these days, Mike Brewer is another... Edited August 15, 2018 by Hobby Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold wombatofludham Posted August 15, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 15, 2018 (edited) Tim Shaw isn't that bad, he does drive a Saab even if it is the hairdresser-approved 9-3 convertible. Fuzz can do no wrong as far as I'm concerned having rescued one of only two remaining Walsall Corporation short Daimler Fleetlines left.

Hobby Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 His heart's in the right place, certainly, it's just that some of his "antics" (for want of a better word!) can get a bit boring after a while and start to grate... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
