Yes, we know he does a brilliant job, we wouldn't care otherwise. I note you've joined only to post this thread, maybe a little research into the subject first, yeah?!

Its not the being late, its the attitude to the regular lateness that causes the annoyance. As he has often said,everyone is late occasionally because of circumstances outside their control, but that's not the same as simply ignoring the fact that its time to get up. I would get annoyed with anyone who regularly did that, especially if they just made excuses about it all the time, whether they are on the radio, in my office, or just a friend. Don't your friends ever annoy you? Doesn't stop you liking them though does it? No. Well there you are.

And my boss is happy with my productivity thanks.

My boss also knows things happens and that many things are not only left better unsaid but not to beat around a dead horse.

[DevilsDuck]

....beat around the bush......flog a dead horse

why would you beat around a dead horse?

[CassieJackson]

... as an alternative when you're tired of flogging the bush?

[DevilsDuck]

I guess, better than flogging a dead bush...

[dimtimjim]

ha ha! Love it, flog a dead bush!

the gloves on the other foot now....

My staff know that its not ok to be late more than occasionally. If it becomes a recurring thing, it is very definitely not best ignored.

[Boboff]

You've changed.

[Yudster]

I got given staff. I never asked for them, honest.....!

[Boboff]

Evil bourgious trappings of success, I am still enjoying life out of the Rat race,

[Yudster]

I am still jealous - but maybe deep down, I'm just a rat........*sigh*

[Sidders]

Is Chris regularly late then? I'm never up at 6.30 so I've no idea. It's not very professional if he is.

[wireman2004]

it is once every 3-4 months at best...

it's probably because it happened at the cottage is why it is coming up as a problem.

[mazurke]

Who care's if he's late, he always gets on the mobile and does a comedy link up anyway. I like it when he pops to the shop when he's late and gets the team some snacks, Legend

[C-Kay]

The links on his mobile phone are what irritate me most about his lateness.

[SAV1OUR]

They're funny though, aren't they?

[Yudster]

No.

[SAV1OUR]

Yes.

Like the time he went off in a cab somewhere, then Dom went off in a cab to a toy store. If not funny, then different.

Meh, i've heard better features..... Its certainly no 'Girls going to Football'.

[Yudster]

I do agree with the title of this thread, wholeheartedly. But no, its not funny when he doesn't bother to get up for the show on time. It wasn't even funny this morning, when Dev had to fill until the 6.30 pips instead of handing over to Dom at 6.24, and Chris puffs and pants in after a late Cheesy Song complaining that all the traffic lights had been red. Which wouldn't have been an issue if he hadn't been late in the first place - not to mention it wasn't the real reason for the delay anyway. I had to listen to a whole six minutes extra of Dev - I demand compensation!

[C-Kay]

Yes.

NO

That was possibly the most annoying, cringeworthy, pointless thing i have heard on radio, ever!!!! I think i was actually swearing at the radio that morning.
