lol, no, it's just most the questions seemed to be rhetorical - team movements, show movements and plans are all up in the air and being discused.

It's best these things are announced when individuals concerned are ready to announce them.

Someone maliciously keyed the car, every section of it which means the entire car needs respraying - they went so deep they need to fix sections of the car too. Deeply upsetting.

My heart went out to you this morning.

Best of luck Aled with whatever you do.

I hope we'll still be able to hear you & Chris somewhere or other, but if not the i hope it everything goes well for you

You'll be running that damn station soon.

That's really sad to hear. Keying is one of the worst and most horrible forms of auto vandalism, my skin crawls just thinking about it. If they can't be caught then I hope at lease Karma throws something your way!

by **Emmy** » Tue Jul 17, 2012 12:16 pm

Wow, that is extremely malicious alright! Very sorry to hear that news Aled, I hope you get it all sorted soon. You'd really wonder what goes on in the minds of those kind of people. Did it happen outside your home or elsewhere?

Thats ridiculous. Rule No1; You. do. not. *. with. another. (wo)mans. automobile. What a coward. Very sorry to hear this Al as all the repucussions will be yours - this criminal dick will prob never hear about it again. No one was injured, so our good ole Police Force won't give a crap and probably won't even dignify you with a visit. Sure, your insurance will cover it (assume you're Fully Comp, Al) but they will be re-couping the costs from that over the next 5 years while you pay a beefed up premium as you have 'claimed', even though you were not at fault.

this stuff makes my blood boil and highlights everything which is wrong with this country. Chop the little twunts hands off, watch the little gimp try to key stuff then...

EDIT: Although, Al, if you are looking at a whole car re-spray, dunno if when you bought it it was in your No1 colour choice - if not, perfect chance to change it!

My car got scratched by some twonk a little while ago and even though it's a piece of crap it's still highly annoying and wrong. I'd hate to think how I'd feel if I had a car as good as yours Aled.

by **ChrisBoyles** » Tue Jul 17, 2012 4:21 pm

Did they do it because they were upset with the show ending ?!

by **Martyn B** » Tue Jul 17, 2012 8:45 pm

^ I would imagine that Aled has quite a nice new car, so it was probably done out of spite/jealousy.

by **chrisjames** » Tue Jul 17, 2012 10:03 pm

Hope you enjoyed the Madonna concert tonight and feeling a bit happier about life than you were yesterday. I'm sure that brighter times are just around the corner!

by **St@rk** » Wed Jul 18, 2012 5:25 am

I'll never understand people doing things like that

Sorry Aled, I really hope you feel better today and that you get some decent luck coming your way!

Someone keyed my car when I was parked near my brothers in Norwich, I was not overly gutted as it was one of many that where already there as its a rather old barely running 1997 Vauxhall Corsa that sits in the yard at work all week while I am away in my truck.

Aled, I would like to extend my thanks to yourself and all of the team going back to when I first started listening to Chris when he started on afternoons, it truly has been an amazing journey, it really feels like I am losing my best friends, which for you must be weird to hear as you know nothing about me, yet you have all shared so much with us all that we feel like we part of the group.

Best wishes to everyone with what they choose to do, I will be making an effort to keep track of what you are all up to, however I will stop short at gps tracking you all........

regards

Jon

Aled, Please Please Please PLEASE let us know what happened in Portugal. Or at least hint to it! It's been bugging me since 2004!!

by **Emmy** » Wed Jul 18, 2012 10:02 pm

I think most of us can make a pretty good guess!

by **Yudster** » Thu Jul 19, 2012 7:07 am

Indeed, only a few weeks ago it was mentioned again, with more actual information than ever before. From what was said on that occasion, I don't think any of us really wants the details.

by **supermattrhodes** » Thu Jul 19, 2012 1:28 pm

Aled - As an international listener (Australia), will we be able to stream the webcam of the final show, much like we could with the marathon show? Would be gutted if I weren't able to see that last one! Would love to sit down with a beer to toast you all whilst having tea and watch you go out with a bang!

(Cheers for everything you guys have done btw - seriously phenomenal how awesome you all are and how much we'll all miss you!)

Ooh, I missed this, do you remember what week that was?

Aled, did Freya get much hell on twitter after posting that photo of you?

I've heard the last show is friday september 14 so just 6 weeks (30 shows) to go. It's going to be over in no time!

Is there any point at all in asking you where you heard this, or from whom?

by **The Deadly** » Thu Jul 19, 2012 5:23 pm

Oh here we go again...... Just shut up with your speculation and bullcrap.

by **slaphead1982** » Thu Jul 19, 2012 5:40 pm

It would make your life easier on here if you mention the source of your information.
