I like you already.

Shit, the boy is quoting perfectly already.

In the words of my old mentor (footloose, circa not so long ago. R.I.P) tell us a joke.

[R94N]

Welcome, sounds like you've been lurking somewhat.

Hi Guys!

I thought this would be quite an appropriate week to join up given the announcement.

I have listened to Moyles right from the early days on early breakfast - I used to be a swimmer and the show certainly got me through some tortuous gym sessions.

The archives are fantastic and would like to add my appreciation to the guys who have put it together!

Welcome! ^_^ Yeah, Nicola and everyone really have done a fantastic job with the sound vault, and all the show archives over the years.
The announcement really is a terrible shame, but we'll all survive, I'm sure. D:

[Nicola_Red]

No probs I'm sure I speak for everyone who contributes when I say that we're happy to give up our spare time to provide content for the site. Now I'm over the initial upset of the end, I feel really proud that I've been able to be able to part of something so special, even in a small way. I plan to continue uploading old clips and Tedious Links as much as I can - after all, without this site I'd have to go outside and be with real people

[Mrs LeRone]

Hello

I'm Toby's wife Mal - bit of a teaser if truth be known

trying to get the hang of posting

[St@rk]

Well, as I seem to be spamming the heck out of this place just minutes after creating an account - I should introduce myself!

I'm one of those people that the BBC wants to loose (34 - over the hill etc.) Have been listening to Chris since forever, in fact since he joined R1 (although I'll admit I had a bit of a love/hate thing at first)

I live in Sunny Bournemouth, I am not an alcoholic (but I do love curry)

Sad fact: the only reason I signed up to Twitter is to see what they were talking about on the show

[a-moron]

Always nice to see a few new folks pop on and say hello.

I'm Scott, 33 and I'm a Gemini.
I'm a heavy drinker and poker.

So come in, play nice, don't be too * at the outset and if any of use <--- this emo. I will track you down and kick you square in the baws / pie (delete as applicable).

Have fun.

Evening All,

Huge fan of the show since the Early Bit and listened ever since then. Used to write show reviews on here many many many years ago, that is better off forgotten though to be honest, been lurking ever since! 28 now, so too old for Radio 1 it seems, damn! Live and work in Manchester, not a huge amount left to say other than, does anyone remember Longman? I wonder what happened there, he was so funny.

28 puts you in the demographic (Just - one year left ).
I recently listened to an old show (I can't remember when, But it was definatley 2008) that mentioned why Longman dissapeared from the show.
It's down to two reasond.
1: He moved to America.
2: He got married and never invited them to the wedding (Well, except Rachel but she did'nt go).

Hmm, I think i'll turn down that extra year, i'm sure they won't miss me!

And yeah, I remember vaguely talk of him moving to America. It's amazing now that I am going back through random shows how much things have changed, and how much some people have come and gone.

[Nicola_Red]

There's a whole thread on Longman just below.

[agsmith86]

Afternoon all,

I registered here yesterday but didn't get round to doing the introducing myself bit. I'm 26 so still within the demographic, although I will voluntarily be choosing an alternative to Grimmy, never been a huge fan of his work. I live in miserable rainy Scotland - despite Dom's notoriously rubbish forecasts he at least deserves a little credit for being able to accurately guess that it is indeed raining in Scotland a lot - and have visited these forums numerous times over the years. I decided this week to register as it just seemed to make sense. I have listened to Moyles since way back in the early days of the afternoon shows and will really miss the whole team after September, especially Dom and Dave as some of their stuff is hilarious at times.

May I just say a huge thanks and well done to all those responsible for putting together those impressive archives.....I've a feeling I'll be relying heavily on them when we enter "the Grimshaw Era".

[fiona2409]

Hello all, I'm Fiona and I'm 20 years old and currently living in sunny Scotland!

I've been lurking on here for years, I just never got round to registering. Been listening to Moyles since January 2006 and have been a proper fan ever since. Listening to the show throughout the day on the iplayer has got me through countless pieces of homework, essays and mundane jobs.

Have to say, one of the weirdest moments of my life was when Chris read out my text on air. I'd sent in a picture of the view of out my window to disprove Dom's weather and suddenly I was hearing Chris describing the way the fences were set out in the surrounding gardens. It was bizarre to think that Chris Moyles, in a tiny basement studio in London, could see exactly what I could see in my little Scottish village!!

So a bit more about me; I'm a redhead, am partial to a bit of rose wine and I love Mexcican food!

[andy23]

I really should have said hello before posting elsewhere here first so apologies if i've broken any protocols here!

I'm Andy, I'm soon to be 40 so in Radio 1 terms I'm way past it.

I've grown up with Radio 1, my main era I guess is from the early 90's onwards but I can well recall the days of Mike Reid's breakfast show as a kid.

I was actually a fan of most of Matthew Bannister's changes, if I had to name a radio idol it would be Kevin Greening, who for me was one of the most talented and underrated DJ's the station ever had. I was also a big fan of Mark & Lard and of course Chris!

I've followed Chris Moyles since his first Early bit, I met the lady that later became my wife a few weeks after he joined R1 and lost my dad shortly after Princess Diana died. When Chris started on breakfast I was in my final week of my previous job and in my current role I've progressed from being a van man to a manager, so although I was an adult I feel like I've grown up with Chris and the team providing the soundtrack to some of the biggest highs and lows of my life.

I can well remember recording one of Chris' shows when he was sitting in for Kev & Zoe on breakfast and remember thinking why wasn't he doing the job full-time, thankfully after Radio 1 got over it's "ladette" phase I finally got my wish.

I'll give Grimmy a go, I'm sure Ben Cooper would rather I didn't but I actually like current music. I find the obsession with age annoying and I'll re-tune when I'm good and ready!

I've probably gone on too much here but I've been reading this site for ages and love the archive section.

Cheers,

Andy.

Hi, im Andy and have been listening to Chris and the team since 2004, and like most people here, have gown up listening to the show and am proud it was apart of my life and will miss it when it ends! Im 24 and to be fair Chris is the only show I regularly listen to on R1. I just hope he stays with R1 till his contract expires in 2014.

Anyway, thanks for having me!
