Hello there. Been coming to this site on and off for a while, usually because its a good place to acquire the parodies to show off to others. Usually spend too much time on another message board (a football one - the username gives it away... or doesn't if you don't know/care about football) but I'm getting exceedingly bored on there so looking for a new home. And since my girlfriend is convinced I have a "man crush" on Chris Moyles, what better place to validate her fears...
Anyway, been listing to Chris Moyles for what seems like a long time now. I used to spend all my time listening to local radio, but when I entered the world of work I got subjected to Radio 1. It never really held my attention for long, until one day I found myself glued to the sounds of someone's version of Martine McCutcheon's song "Perfect Moment", where they were singing about the "Perfect Motor". It was weeks later I went back to Radio 1 to find out just who it was. Of course, it was Chris Moyles.
That was me hooked. From then on Radio 1 was on in the weekday afternoons. Then I was hanging around more and more. Mark & Lard, Colin & Edith if I was working the weekend. Jo Whiley when I discovered she actually played some decent new music. I still had local radio on the morning mind you - never have been a fan of Sara Cox. Nowadays though I don't listen to anything other than Radio 1. Well, except my own music collection when Nihal's on.
For all I'm a Radio 1 convert, its still Chris I look forward to. I used to set my alarm for 7 in the morning to get up for work. When Chris moved to mornings that changed to 6.45. It even changed to half 6 this year. Honest, that's because I moved office and the journey there takes longer in the morning. Well, it would be if I hadn't changed it in January and not moved until May.
Anyway, not sure how I'll fit in here. If Chris is anything to go by, you lot all complain about him all the time. I just complain when he goes on holiday. Okay, maybe I've picked a good time to be joining then. We'll see.
