At least Mr Moyles liked Nood's article.

Now posted here

[nood]

Haha, up yours Naomi Canton!

[Boboff]

True Noon, she's a bit miffed that your a far better Journalist than her, and she probably feels her breast size is inadequate. ( All all women in Norich reportedly do, even though I think it's fair to say a majority of men prefer the less ample bossom, chosen as glamorus by those in day gone days)

[Mermaid]

And Alan Partridge says what? .......................... or am I being blonde - lol

A-ha!

[NaomiFan]

Oh for goodness sake.....why are people so touchy? Still at least as well as all the things Moylesy told us about Norwich, we now also know that its inhabitants don't have a sense of humour. At all.

But - I have to say, Norwich is very good for shopping. Surprisingly so.

Same could be said for Moyles, why couldn't HE take it as a joke?

I suppose that is all you can expect from someone who employs a team to laugh at his jokes - shame he has so little confidence in his humour and then so openly show his inability to take a joke at his own expense

Funny how everyone has decided CM was "being funny" and yet Naomi Canton was being dead serious!

Also, no one heard of An Editor? You sure you are all flaming the right person??? Yes, even you big guy

[nood]

Also, no one heard of An Editor?

Surely, since it was her who took the credit for the article, what with her name being at the top of it and everything, she must also take the flack.

Oh don't be so surpassingly stupid you moron, she wasn't joking!

[NaomiFan]

Oh don't be so surpassingly stupid you moron, she wasn't joking!

Ahh, so sorry Mudster, didn't realise you were psychic - or did you make the effort to contact the writer to check your claim that she wasn't joking?

No I thought not, obviously the opinion of Thudster (and it is just your "opinion") is worth much more than anyone elses

Kind regards

Stupid Moron

PS - How was school today? Learn any more new words?

Mudster..... te he!!!!!

It's OBVIOUS by the tone of the article that it wasn't joking. It's also fairly obvious that YOU are this so-called journalist, or one of her colleagues.
Quit spamming this site with your bilge.

[NaomiFan]

A quick check in my y-fronts confirms I am not Naomi, nor am I a colleague of hers - although I can see why you would assume that anyone who agrees with her must be working with her, it fits in with the narrow minded attitude

What I did was present another point of view - and I get abuse (stupid moran that I am) and patronising comments (which aren't as OBVIOUS as was thought)

But hey ho, like I give a damn

Funny isn't it, if I were to propose, oh I don't know, say, 'A Government Cover Up' you would all accept a different point of view and possibly even believe it, but dare to suggest Moyles over reacted and down come the shutters, "oh no, not our Chris, our saviour, he wouldn't get ANYTHING wrong, it must be the others - burn the none believers, cast them out and send them to Medium Wave"

"Question everything or learn nothing" as a wise man once said (yes, even that)

[Ballbag]

Oh Naomifan, you'll get abuse for a lot less on here...................... and watch out for The Rage, you don't want him released.

[Fred Mercury]

I bet Naomi C*nton is loving this national exposure.

[nood]

NaomiFan, if you thought it was meant as a joke, she's rubbish at writing.

Demonhorse is right - you don't have to be psychic to understand the tone of her article.

Maybe Naomi is a nice person and its just that time of the month.

How likely is this:

Naomi's friend listens to Chis Moyles, Naomi doesn't.
Naomi's friend knows Naomi's writes for a local paper in Norwich. Naomi's friend hears Chris say something about Norwich, and phones Naomi to tell her
"Chris Moyles has just been slagging off Norwich - having a right go at it, saying there was no atmosphere and all kinds of things. He had a really good go." Unable to listen again straight away, Naomi being a decent honest journalist double checks with her friend
"I'll need to get this article written for the next issue and there's no time for that listening-back-again feature on the interweb thingy. what did he say exactly?". Her friend replies
"Well all sorts of things but definately something about there being more atmosphere on the moon"
"Okay that'll do," replies Naomi, "I'll think of a really good moon pun too, something about cheese, erm... cheese is a bit like lard.. come and have a go if you think your'e lard enough - yes that's it - hillarious isn't it!"
to which her friend replies "Erm, sorry the you're breaking up now, missed that last bit, bye then" Her friends hangs up just as Naomi realises they're both actually on land line phones.

Unpeturbed, Naomi phones around the few contacts she has for some soundbites, but most of them actually agree that Norwich has no atmosphere, until she speaks to Rita McCluskey who doesn't actually listen to Chris Moyles and will just agree with Naomi because she saw her once talking to the Mayor at the grand revealing of the Town Hall ceiling which had just been painted white.

The rest is history.

[NaomiFan]

LOL - Wonder if the Norwich town hall ceiling really is white.....

You lot have got to see the latest in the Norwich Evening News.............................

"DJ Chris Moyles bites back

NAOMI CANTON
19 December 2006 09:51

Outspoken DJ Chris Moyles is weighing up whether to visit Norwich - but if he does come he could be in for a rough ride after once again ridiculing the city live on air.

The controversial Radio One star sparked anger last week when he made an off-the-cuff remark that he owned an acre of land on the moon and would rather live there than in Norwich - because it had more atmosphere.

The remarks immediately sparked outrage among the great and good of Norwich, some of whom said they would rather Moyles went to the moon.

The Evening News reported those comments and Moyles yesterday mocked our remarks by reading our story out live on air, using a bizarre West Country accent, which was presumably meant to resemble the Norfolk burr.

We today issued an invitation to Moyles to visit Norwich where an Evening News reporter would show him what he is missing and prove that our fine city is not a rural backwater.

A spokesman said: “I will put the invitation to Chris but, to be honest, his schedule is packed throughout the year. However we will look at his schedule next year and thank you for the invitation.”

Moyles mocked the people who sprung to the city's defence in our story. Rita McCluskey, who runs the Adam and Eve pub in Bishopgate said: “Norwich was a great, historic city with a fantastic atmosphere.” But the Radio One team said on air it sounded like she worked for the tourist board. Then Moyles made fun of David Adlard, who owns Adlard's, emphasising the fact it was a “former” Michelin-starred restaurant. He too had defended Norwich in last week's story.

“There seems to have been a bit of a sense of humour failure,” Moyles said and read out an alternative spoof story the Evening News should have written which he said was a “more positive” response to his remarks. After that Dave gave a score of Moyles 1 Norwich 0 and Moyles ended by saying said he would still rather go to the moon.

“Only because by the sound of that article there's nowhere in Norwich that'll welcome me with open arms,” he said.

Listeners texted the programme with one saying “Mess with Norwich at your peril” and another saying Norwich fans went to football matches wearing their wellies.

Five reasons why Norwich is amazing

1. It's one of the top shopping destinations in the UK.
2. It is the home of Colmans Mustard and Norwich Union.
3. The beautiful Norfolk Broads are just a short drive away.
4. The only Delia Smith restaurant in the world is here. "

Need we say anymore..........................

Yes... to make it five reasons, you do need to say more.

[The Geek]

I didn't write it - our friend Naomi Canton wrote it. You'd better write to the evening news to ask them for the fifth reason.

[Ballbag]

Tis true............ behold.

Try spinning this one - should be worth a laugh on the show tomorrow. What do you reckon, should we get Chris to ring Naomi and have it out with her on air????

[Ballbag]

oooooh exciting, a real life "have it out style brawl", like celebrity boxing....... I'll be your spit boy if you want Moyles........ you'd better have good aim though.

[Yudster]

Oh don't be so surpassingly stupid you moron, she wasn't joking!

PS - How was school today? Learn any more new words?

No, I left school many years ago (I mean really, a lot) and my vocabulary is pretty extensive, although one can never know too many words. The trick though - one which you would be well advised to learn - is being able to work out what they mean when you see them written down. I can see you are still having considerable trouble with this. And, if you were wondering, as Yudster is actually not my real name (I have a feeling you may need me to point this out to you), any of your offerings will suffice as address means without causing offence. Sorry, I know offence was your object, but you are probably used to failure, so this won't be a surprise to you.

By the way, I still think you are a stupid moron, but with hindsight I shouldn't have used such an emotive and pejorative phrase, and I apologise.

[nood]

Remember that woman off of Shop TV or whatever got paid to do an article in a glossy. Naomi is most likely trying to take advantage of what happens is you publically have a go at Chris Moyles - which is... you get fame.

Try spinning this one

I'm not the best writer in the world, but why not...

Moyles gets rough ride from Norwich journalist

Last week, popular Radio 1 DJ Chris Moyles made a humourous, off-the-cuff remark about how the moon would have more atmosphere than Norwich. Chris Moyles is reknowned for making the odd racy comment, and regular listeners know all too well that it's only ever in jest.

However, instead of rolling with the laughs and embracing the outspoken DJ, Naomi Canton, who writes for the the local Norwich press is doing her best to turn the public against Moyles.

The witch-hunt started when Canton published an article in which she made best her efforts to make it negative, despite the fact that most of her interviewees seemed to agree with Moyles:

In the same article, a formal invitation was presented to the Saviour of Radio One, by city council leader Steve Morphew, who would like to have Chris host a Radio 1 Roadshow there.

Naomi Canton wasn't amused; In a desperate attempt for the article to be negative towards Moyles, Naomi couldn't help but begin the article by poking fun at the DJ's physical appearance.

After reading this negative publicity, the DJ made his own comments on the facts presented, in particular, stating the obvious with regards to the fact that David Adlard's "former" Michelin-starred restaurant, being "former", is therefore no longer endorsed by Michelin.

He also commented “(it's) Only because by the sound of that article there's nowhere in Norwich that'll welcome me with open arms.”

Chris then read out a version of Naomi's article, written from a positive perspective, but using exactly the same facts and quotes.

But this only angered Naomi Canton, who followed up the story with more negativity and spite, suggesting to its readers that Moyles should "be in for a rough ride" if he were to visit.

Coincidentally the programme received a text saying “Mess with Norwich at your peril," however we cannot confirm whether or not this was sent by Naomi Canton.

Finishing her story, in her apparent state of anger, Naomi made a fine example of why-not-to-write-when-you're-having-a-strop-ness by ending the article with "5 reasons why Norwich is amazing" and only listing four.

--------

Now all we have to do is propagate that around the net, and Chris becomes the underdog. Easy.

I don't read newspapers because by the time it's published it's already been spun towards the opinion of the writer.

[maximus]

What I did was present another point of view - and I get abuse (stupid moran that I am) and patronising comments (which aren't as OBVIOUS as was thought)

But hey ho, like I give a damn

Er, yes you do, or you wouldn't be on here in the first place. You are behaving like a troll and not a good one either.

[pinkysibbs]

Yudster, you have the best come backs ever!you are great!
