That`ll do it :D

Comment on a #TeamGrimmy post on the Radio 1 Facebook page:

"Entrance Requirements: 14 - 29
Musical taste: Last 6 months ONLY....

DJ Requirements:
Ability to press play button on cd or generic mp3 players in short intervals to the point where the listener has heard the track across every other radio station including this one so much to the point that they want to break their your radio if anyone dares to play the same track again.

On odd occasion switch to news bulletin.

Do not talk or attempt to engage the listener in everyday conversation they can relate to, instead talk only about the last music festival or gig you attended and the musicians you met. failing that talk about another upcoming music festival.

Do not make use of any sound effects to set the atmosphere of upcoming hilarity, or attempt to use the mixing desk to create funny clips for future use or present genuine DJ skill, only buttons you may press are PLAY MUSIC and switch to NEWS.

Sorry BBC, No thanks.

I'm a licence fee payer that does not fit any of your demographics, too old for R1, too young and not Conservative enough for R2, and cannot stomach R&B and Hip-Hop so R1Extra is a no no either."

I don't really like that stuff coming up on facebook cos it just slags off Grimmy and comes off as bitter. I think we can get this trending and be #TeamMoyles without actively criticising Grimmy.

Yes. That's all I want to do. I hope Grimmy is a success on breakfast in the long run.

Definitely, I don't think anyone here has anything against Nick Grimshaw. And I'm sure we all wish him the best of luck for Monday.

Meanwhile, my creative juices seem to be flowing...

Radio 1s problem is The Chris Moyles Show is/was bigger than the station itself. It has more of a dedicated following than any other single show or the whole line-up itself. Lots of those people are slagging off Grimmy, unfairly, but Radio 1 are probably just rubbing their hands as it's exactly what they want - a smaller, yet perfectly focused audience, which will please the BBC Trust.

That said, #TeamMoyles on Monday.

I think we need photoshops of Alan Sugar and Jimmy Carr. My photoshop skills are poor, personally. That sentence is very alliterative.

Don't forget to include Grimmy in your tweets.......



Don't include Grimmy, we don't want him trending



Will he trend if we use his "@" address; I thought it was only if you used the #tag



It's not just hash tags that trend. If the words are used without the tag, they still count

I'm saddened by Cheryl Cole's or whatever she calls herself now shift in allegiance. I thought she was classed as a "friend" of the CMS. Was a bit grumpy on her last visit, but thought that was tongue in cheek when she had a pop at Aled for dumping her for Molly.

I don't give two hoots about Cheryl Cole, but I dislike two-facedness (is that a word?).
