Thats an understatement!

I dont eat venison or camembert but I know what they are!
Does he live under a rock?

It makes you wonder what qualifications you need to be a producer at radio 1.

Common sense is not directly linked to intelligence or technical ability.

From what I can hear he has neither common sense or intelligence!

[MK Chris]

He exaggerates his naïvety for comedic effect.

No he doesnt! he is generally a bit of an airhead.

Nice but dim.

[Latina]

He exaggerates his naïvety for comedic effect.

Even on this occasion?

[MK Chris]

I didn't hear on this occasion to be fair, but in general it's obvious that he does.

[Latina]

They were testing Aled's sense of humour with various jokes, and in the process we learned that he had never heard of camembert cheese, and had to guess that venison was deer meat. He couldn't have exaggerated that - he'd need to either be flat-out lying, or he genuinely didn't know.

And if he didn't know, well, we all go through life missing out on learning about certain things and then feel a little silly about it. Happens with me all the time. But this was the first time when I'd actually thought, "Seriously, not even that?".

My 9 year old son knows what venison is (and no we dont eat it!)

[MK Chris]

he had never heard of camembert cheese, and had to guess that venison was deer meat. He couldn't have exaggerated that - he'd need to either be flat-out lying, or he genuinely didn't know.

How would he have 'guessed' that it was deer meat though? Lucky guess or would he really have known?

The most astonishing thing about that is that you have a son.

2 sons actually,and not amazing at all as Im one fertile guy!

[chrysostom]

I don't think fertility is the bone of contention here...

What are you implying Sir?

Sorry, that wasn't very clear. He was able to guess it because of the context - the joke he'd just been told, which was deer-related. But it seemed obvious he hadn't known what venison was up until then.

Anyway, I'll stop now because I do love Aled and he'll no doubt be reading this thread before long.

Does he really read the threads on here?

At least he can read then,we are on the right tracks.
Maybe his next challenge could be to read a newspaper other than the daily star and learn about the world!

[chrysostom]

You seem to be intent on making inflammatory comments of a personal nature aimed toward show members.

It's a good existance.

[MK Chris]

You can't learn about the world by reading a newspaper. Not the real world anyway, just their distorted and perverse view of it.

[chrysostom]

I don't think fertility is the bone of contention here...

What are you implying Sir?

I was implying that the original statement had nothing to do with your fertility, more that it was hard to believe that another woman would take the knowing decision to procreate with yourself.

not being very bright there, are you?

Well these people put themselves above the parapet to be shot at and if they do something that pisses me off then I fire!

On the other hand if they do something good then I will say so.

I just find ignorance isnt bliss and that if I was the producer of a radio show I would try and be a bit more street wise.

I know! I was amazed that a woman would procreate with me to! must have been the chloroform I used on both occassions.

Sky News then.

[MK Chris]

Oh yeah, run by Murdoch, who's distorted and perverse view is perpetuated in all his media outlets.

BBC news then.

or

ITN

The thing is to read/watch and then make an informed opinion based on what you think.
Dont forget we are talking about a guy who had never cooked before!
He must live in a bubble or Aled World!

[chrysostom]

yeah. he should be reading those news articles about camembert and venison.

if you opened your eyes to aled's technical ability, social knowledge (he hosts the surgery, quite well), interpersonal skills, the way which he produces, etc. etc. etc. then you'd see that you're focussing on rather small things which you've noticed - however i'm sure aled would be able to make you feel inadequate in many ways.

i can't be bothered to debate with someone who continually shifts his focus.

Dont give up!

Im sure he could make me feel inadequate in many ways as we all have our strengths and weaknesses,yours is having no sense of humour and mine is debating with morons who really are just sheep!

He should be reading articles just to be aware of whats going on around him,there is more to life than Big Brother and Heat magazine.
