Mushroom 17 Feb 2:00pm, 17 Feb 2025 3,564 posts	Quote Pin Mushroom I agree Fitz. Lauren had an easy manner about her, and Nemone has been easy to listen to over the last few weeks. Nick Grimshaw talks too much and is too 'in your face' for early morning shows.
GordonG 18 Feb 11:02am, 18 Feb 2025 10,788 posts	Quote Pin GordonG the latest Amazon advert on the tellybox, where the Urban Yoof moves with his mother to a house by the sea, but seems utterly unable to comprehend that skateboards don't work on sand. And presumably there isn't a single bit of hard surface in the whole area on which he can skateboard.

RunningRonnie 18 Feb 11:34am, 18 Feb 2025 3,628 posts	Quote Pin RunningRonnie On adverts; the fact that we went from free TV with ads to having the ability to record TV and fast forward ads, to streaming with the ability to watch anything anytime for a fee with no ads... to having to pay for streaming WITH ads that CANNOT be skipped... ie, what we had in the beginning.
