Aled, when you take the show out and about, how much does it cost?

From the pictures from previous OB's, it appears the presenters use standard CB radios with a microphone for decent quality sound - how hard would it be to take the show round the whole UK?

Probably very expensive... but i'm wondering. thanks.

Aled - can you do us a favour? Show Chris the below email. It was sent to his email work address and be good if he could read it.

There was no call for the comments you made about the forum yesterday. Yes you get jackasses from time to time who don't appreciate the show, but live with it. Thanks to what you said, we now have about a hundred newbies having a go at us. You've tarred us all with the same brush Chris. And if you'd taken the time to read a few more of the posts you would have seen most of us stick up for you when people slag you off. At the end of the day, these guys who have burst onto the scene today to slag you off will be gone in a couple of days. We, your true fans, will still be around. But to be honest, I think you owe the majority of us an apology.

http://chrismoyles.co.uk/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=12281 Now we have guys like this on the forum.

http://chrismoyles.co.uk/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=12249 And jackasses like this filling our pages up.

http://chrismoyles.co.uk/gallery/displa ... m=9&pos=37 Then you have the guys like this who flog from all over the country to see you and get a picture.

Which do you prefer?? What would you rather be reading on YOUR fansite? Who would you rather listen to your show? I know you care what people think of you, everybody does. And I know it's not all about numbers to you. You are an entertainer and you are a great one at that. You're great at your job and hopefully you'll be around for a long while. How did it go, "From now, until they fire his ass"? With your figures we know that won't be happening soon, but please don't rub the forum guys up the wrong way in the meantime. There are 4,000 people on that site who love you and maybe 2 that don't. Don't roll us all in together because of them. We love you man.

Aled,

What did one snowman say to the other snowman?

[Gigglyboots]

Snowballs.. lame joke.

[Aled]

I love it, thank you Adam

[Aled]

Think you might need to invest in a bit of extra bandwidth for your site Aled!

Or just stop mentioning it on the radio - thats the cheaper option surely?

Secondly, I wish Chris wouldn't read posts on the messageboard - That one day I commented about the show, I thought it wasnt great. Don't get me wrong - all the other times ive listened, I thought the show had been ace.

He doesnt need to rant for 8 minutes about the messageboard. I'm sure Chris has had enough neg. feedback to last him a lifetime - Me saying that show was awful is probably the leasrt of his worries.

After his last encounter with the messageboard on the chat room - he should know better. Chris should really take into account the amount of time and effort some people put on here talking about the show.

Surely - the neg. feedback on the show - helps both the presenter and producers of the show to improve that area that feedback was given on. I get the feeling that everytime he looks on here, he feels the need to moan about us.

I didn't ask Chris to mention the site, he noticed it and did it. Which, come on, lets be honest, is very nice if you can get it!

Please don't get upset about Chris' comments about your post and the site. Surely you all know him enough by now not to expect an easy time if he picks on you. As you all say, that's part of Chris' humour (I should know).

It's all cool. Keep being as honest as you like. If we surround ourselves by yes-men then we'll end up going the way of countless other Radio 1 DJs. Having an honest fanbase is very healthy - I would say essential in ensuring a brilliant radio show.

Not sure I know exactly where we stand on talking about detail like that.

What I can tell you is that we're getting very good at doing them, so much so we've got them down to about a fifth of what an average OB costs.

Different OBs require different technical stuff. The OB you're referring to is Dundee with the CB radio and a mic. You'll notice for most of our OBs I'm out on a mobile phone (cost: next to nothing bar the price of a call!). In Dundee Radio 1 had a whole host of technical equipment ready to cover all the shows broadcasting in around the city so we used it for our show.

You havent seen the series finale of Lost yet then.

Smells like Carrots is the actual answer to the joke...careful you don't fall over laughing!

[DeanoDino]

... the BBC hire someone to drive Moyles into work every morning? Am I the only one that things thats a bit unecessary?

I know chris used to walk to work for his detox in January, I wonder if he still does this?

I know I'm quoting myself but I wondered if Chris does still did walk to work?

[Dr. Nick]

Apologies if this has been asked before...

On a thread in General, we were discussing what car Chris drives.. which kinda spiralled.. What do you think about a special edition of Pimp My Ride with Camp Westwood.... Make a special car just for Moyles out of a 2CV or Robin Reliant or something? I'm seeing pink camouflage....

If not a whole TV show, perhaps something for the enhanced Podcast?

All the best,
Nick

[TVgirl]

Very excited that BB Aled is finally returning on Monday, but what's going to happen when you're in Germany? Won't you miss quite a substantial chunk of the show? As a result, some very annoying housemates will probably be let off the hook at the press conferences, because I'm sure you're the only journalist who asks such deservedly harsh questions

[bumheed7]

you never know.

dom might be put on this if there is a bb section during the wold cup, which i doubt.

i can imagine dom would be good at the PC's but there's only one aled!

"Pimp My" is a registered MTV thing, we wouldn't be allowed to use it

Good Point.. Okay, how's "Camp My Ride" ?

Very true. A fact that upsets me very much

[Quincy]

i, BB Quincy, volunteer to go on behalf of aled.

[Adam]

Its a shame you dont have someone from the BBC going for you on your behalf, Aled.

Yeah, BBQuincy sounds good or how about sending Herr Helmut!?

Sending Herr Helmut sounds like a good idea. The only problem would be coming up with an explanation for why a German journalist would be interested in the U.K. BB, but I can see lots of comedy potential there! Any thoughts on this idea Aled? It would be nice to send someone to the press conferences.

I like that idea. We'll have a think

Hi Aled How are You ?
Since I was 9 I was glued to the radio not TV – RADIO. I love the whole idea of broadcasting music and delivering great entertainment only by sound. Unfortunately for me Polish radio stations are rubbish. But since I’m in UK I’ve discovered Chris Moyles Show and It’s great.
My question is:
(if you can of course)
Would you be so kind and describe the whole process of preparing the show. How you gather ideas?, how you make it happen.?
Not sure if the question has been asked before But I’d love to read your answer.
P.S
Your show’s got a massive audience in Poland. Maybe instead of Latvia in one of Your jingles you should put Poland ? :D

Love Your show!
