Dear Simon Mayo, Radio 2....

[Brandane]

Do you REALLY have to play that grating, annoying Muppet song EVERY Friday??

Just sayin'. It might be ok now and again, but EVERY friggin week?

 

[Paulus]

It seems to be his Friday "thing".

yes

Yep, it must be in their contract to have a Friday "thing". When Chris Evans did it, it was "Delilah" which was at least listenable to. Even that got wearing week after week though!

 

[Brandane]

yes

Thanks Simon. Didn't know you were on CC too .

Does your radio not have a dial so you can change stations !

I like Simon Mayo on Radio 2 (and lets not forget the mid week mosh ).
I also like the movie review show with him and Mark Kermode.

I think your avatar of Eeyore being rained on is quite appropriate

 

[TVC]

Oh right, that is annoying

 

[Frood42]

Oh right, that is annoying

Yes, it can be annoying, but the nonsense of it and the simple catchy tune makes me smile
The two old guys (Statler and Waldorf) sum it up at the end really ("The question is, who cares?").

Mahna Mahna!

Delilah never got wearing, we used to sing badly and loudly every 6pm on a Friday

A Dial? It's all pushing tiny buttons and digital displays nowadays, far too complicated.

 

[Glow worm]

I quite enjoy Mayo and Kermode's film programme on a Friday afternoon on Radio 5 Live (being quite lucky I can listen at work). I just can't bring myself to listen to Radio 2 though, so I'll have to continue to miss out on the Muppet thing!

Yebbut; I live in deepest darkest Ayrshire where we have a choice of Radio 1, Radio 2, or some other BBC rubbish. The only independents we get are Radio Clyde and WestSound. Radio 2 is the least bad of the lot (in fact normally quite good, weekends apart). As for digital stations, we are still in the dark ages.
