What is this BBC you people are talking about? Does it have something to do with those almost foreign north eastern states?

This joke is too English for me to understand.

Oh mother, don't be so sentimental. Things explode every day.

Also,

Hot DJ thread! I'll start:

I rarely click on the BBC tubes category, so I don't know what you guys are talking about.

Ivo beat me to it. Women don't explode, penguins do...

/unless you're married to them, of course
//the woman, not the penguin
///penguins go rawr
/wives go slashie

Could use the company. *wink wink*

Women on the BBC? Don't they know their limits?

Look at what radio is paying their broadcasters lately. You're better off scrounging for empty bottles/working at a car wash/selling Greek bonds for commission.


Radio? That's sooooo 1930s.

Is radio british slang for kitchen?

The penguin on top of the telly, you mean.

I wonder if someday we will just be able to hire the best person that applied for the job and not have to worry about what gender, race or ethnic background they are or how many of each we have on staff.

What a farking pain in the ass.

US public radio station NPR has women doing the best music programs -classical music. I dig it. Some of the local "niche" music DJs are insufferable, men and women. I want someone enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the topic, with good interview skills. Obviously gender is no obstacle to that.

What is it they say about women who get on BBC?

Women rarely apply themselves at the obsessive level that some men do. So, when you go and look at people who hit the top, they're almost always men. This applies pretty much everywhere.

Most of the women on BBC radio are basically tokens. I'll make an exception for Ann Nightingale, but go on... describe the personalities and wit of Zoe Ball and Jo Whiley. Now do the same with Chris Evans or Terry Wogan. See the difference? The latter 2 actually have radio personalities.

fickle floridian: I'll bet you they won't read this thread on the radio.

I see what you did there.

gaslight: Who listens to Radio 2?

Mainly geriatrics, invalids and anyone else too weak to turn over or switch off their radio.

Radio 4 Extra (new window) (formerly BBC7) on the other hand, is ace and you should be listening to it particularly as you can get it streaming free over the internets worldwide from that link.

By this logic Chris Moyles has a woman's body and Scott Mills has a woman's brain.

Fearne Cotton is more vapid than all six of the above.

true, dat.

Which is just wrong. Vapid, pretty women should be deprived broadcasting opportunities so that they go into pornography, which is where we want them anyway.

Do they have bears in Britain? If so there are some legitimate safety concerns with this proposal.

It's almost like women have been reared to be proficient in many areas rather than just one...

I stopped listening to Radio One after it stole my gal.

/Love it just the same, though.

gaslight: Who listens to Radio 2?

I's think a lot less people since these guys left...
