[Naomi's Boss]

Fair enough. I just think people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. It's fine for CM to attack people on air - that's funny. But if someone else has a dig then there's a sense of humour bypass.

Erm, and why, in the first case, were none of his "press people" willing to speak to Naomi or at least try and put a positive spin on the story - maybe that would have turned the story around. Still, if you can't be bothered to comment then don't complain when your side of the story isn't there.

[Yudster]

Chris and "his people" didn't need to put a positive spin on anything, they were the ones who had already come out of it looking ok. The positive spin was required by Ms Canton and her newspaper because the whole thing had backfired and made them look a little silly. Chris has no need to want to "turn the story around" - it is already looking pretty fine from where he is standing.

[Naomi's Boss]

Your point seems to be contrary to what he said.

" The story could have been positive and spun it round. So…Naomi Canton, listen to this love. How about this? You’re a journalist for your local paper, the Norwich Evening News. Why would you put a massive negative article? 'cause all your doing is re-broadcasting what I said but you’re making it worse; you’re making a big song and dance about it. Why didn’t you twist it round to a positive way? And if her boss is listening, listen to this: somebody on a website who just goes: ‘Fly me to the moon and let me play among the stars. That was the message to DJ Chris Moyles whose humourous comments have awoken a new audience from yourself in Norwich. The Radio 1 breakfast presenter said he’d rather live on the moon than visit our great city, claiming there was more atmosphere on the moon. Ginny Foster Chairman of the Central Norwich Residence Forum, who said Norwich has always been a great city that people joked about…blah blah blah blah blah. City council leader Steve Morefude said he’d like to see the presenter and his team to visit the city. He can bring the Radio 1 show with him and show them how much atmosphere there is.’ What a clever spin."

[nood]

erm yeah. That was my re-write. I'm not paid by Moyles or the BBC, I don't work with Chris Moyles, I've never spoken to him, and I'm not one of "his people".

So what's your point again?

Tell you what, don't even bother answering that - it's clear what actually happened. Naomi was in a mood, or she's a bit like that. She wrote a nasty article about Chris Moyles because of a silly humourous comment. Moyles used his right to reply, she got the hump about it - yet she can give it out "come and have a go if you're lard enough" - and there's you talking about people in glass houses!
You got no further feedback on air showing that Chris really isn't interested in your bitchy reporter, but because you have NOTHING else to do in Norwich, you come here to make a fuss.

As for your comment about Chris' "press people" not speaking to Naomi, I very much doubt she even tried to speak to them, but if she did, don't you think that the story bears so little relevance or interest that no-one would actually bother with her?

Since you're on about sense of humour failure - try this one out for size-
Why did the chicken cross the road?
Because it was born in Norwich and death by tractor sounded like a good idea.

It wasn't Chris, or any of "his people" who did that, it was an independant contributor to this site. You're making yourself - and Ms Canton - look even sillier you know.......

[nood]

I just said that. (But then I waffled a bit.) You know what their problem is - being involved with a newspaper they don't actually check their facts.

[callum]

i hate it when people take this piss out of norwich.

I think ALL of norfolk is rubbish, so norwich should not be singled out as crap. it is full of largely stupid people, i am unfortunate enough to live in norfolk and it is miles from anywhere interesting, or miles from any interesting people

Gosh Nood,

You seem very angry.

And full of contradictions.

And whether you wrote that peice or not is not really of any interest. CM still read it out on air.

And as for your purile comments about Naomi - they are starting to wear a little thin.

I hope someone buys you a dictionary for Christmas - it may help to increase your vocab a little.

But I am impressed with your clarity of what actually happened, without actually being there.

Finally, I do like your joke. I think it may have been on a Cannon & Ball Xmas special some years ago.

Still, very funny though. Well done. Perhaps you have some others in your arsenal of rapier-sharp wit you would care to share.

Actually, don't bother.

But keep smiling

[Boboff]

You patronising, horrible person, why not address the points Nood makes rather than being so up yourself that you choose to make pointless comments about dictionaires etc. Your reporter is rubbish, if in fact you are not actually her, either way this post means you are definately female and definately from Norich.

I saw a post like yours in an early episode of Family Affairs on Channel 5, Anyay keep talking shite !

[maximus]

I just wonder if they are connected to Naomi or the paper at all.

[Yudster]

Actually, the style of that last Naomis Boss post was nigglingly familiar, but I can't place it. It'll come to me.

[Boboff]

Baggie back ?

[Yudster]

Not convinced, but it crossed my mind. No - I think someone else........don't know who at the moment.

[Abolish the licence]

Stumbled across this thread whilst searching for something else. What a sad lot! Are there really people who spend their time listening to Radio 1 and posting puerile comments here? Get a life!

I would just make one comment. If you don't like what the paper says then don't buy it. Then you won't be making a contribution to the reporter's salary. Personally I would rather listen to a road drill than CM but I have no choice but to contribute to his salary.

[Mermaid]

You're a journalist?? and don't know how to spell 'piece'


"And whether you wrote that peice or not is not really of any interest. CM still read it out on air."


And using the same word twice in one sentence????

"But I am impressed with your clarity of what actually happened, without actually being there."



When did you graduate??

[pinkysibbs]

wish baggie was back I miss him!!

[nood]

Gosh Nood,

You seem very angry.

(no, really an actual laugh out loud.) Oh your outlook on life is so negative isn't it? There was absolutely no anger there at all. Is it because I use more than 10 words in an answer or something?

And you've just confirmed what I thought. This is obviously not the person they claim to be as it's the all-too familiar nature of a troll to hope they've angered someone, and assume they have. (I'm still laughing at you about it.)
Also there's the familiar failing to address any questions asked in previous posts or relevant points made, but just to go off on subtle tangents.

Well I'm sorry, whoever you are, you really don't touch any nerves here. Thanks for the laugh you gave me.

Game over.

[Dimon Trowel]

This entire subject is getting rather tedious.

[MC]

Agreed.

Norwich is sh*t, Moyles is overpaid. Both sides to the argument covered.

[maximus]

Yup, and I think someone now has 3 accounts on the go looking at abolish the license.

[nood]

By the way, this Christmas the Moon officially changed its name to Susan, for legal reasons.

[Yudster]

So now we have a full Susan? And a crescent Susan? A waxing and a waning Susan? A total eclipse of the Susan?

[nood]

and there's a man in Susan.

[Yudster]

And Susan controls the tidal flow.........ooooer!

[nood]

i suppose she has a monthly cycle.
