The official 'Ask Aled' thread (Part Ten)

"THINK OF THE CHILDREN" It's a line from the Simpsons. It's from a character who over reacts to everything.

You should have just posted a pic of Maude rather than explaining it. Or a pic of Kyle's mom from South Park works equally well.

I was a bit surprised and dissappointed to hear you make references to chavs on todays show Aled. I don't know if you realise but CHav stands for 'council housed and violent' , implying that anyone who lives in a council house is a violent thug. I hope you realise that it m ight have offended quite lot of listeners who live in council houses and are perfectly decent people.I know you wouldn't have wanted to delibarately offend anyone and wouldn't have used the word if you thought it did

You're a gem.

maybe I did over react a bit...

From what I remember it was Helen Lovejoy who always used to screech "Will somebody pleeeeeese think of the Children" in The Simpsons, I hated her character in all honesty, at least Maude Flanders had a purpose.

Yeah, you're right, my apologies. And they killed off poor Maude, whereas Helen is still around!

Whatever it means it was an off-air conversation. Chris decided to bring it on air, and told it wrongly!

I hope Chris didn't get you into trouble for it!

Its come to a pretty pass when you get a right c**ting from the prissy bedwetters on Digital Spy for being too PC.

I haven't wet the bed since I was about 10

Aled, how bigger * up was the Hackney tickets site not working? Did Radio 1 underestimate the interest? Or was it all down the See Tickets? I didn't apply as I can't make that date but I'd be furious if I had and then couldn't get tickets because the site didn't work

I understand this isn't your department at all and nothing to do with you so you may not be able to answer.

However, I'd expect some unreasonably angry texts tomorrow as a few people I know aren't happy

Oh now come along.

Yup.

But obviously there'll be a lot of people with an opinion about this!

Hi Aled. Will there be any holiday homework tasks when you go on your break?

No, not this time. We have a replacement for Dave next week and the week we're back we've got Revision again.

[RyanBridgwood]

Aled, did you know in advance of the new team photographs that Matt would be leaving?

[James H]

I feel my question may have been buried within talk of Maude Flanders and Helen Lovejoy

[dimtimjim]

maybe I did over react a bit...

Odd, thats never happened before....

[bwfcol]

Aled, has Tedious Link been dropped? Or is it just done now and again?

No, we sadly didn't.

No proper conversation's been had about it

[The Deadly]

Is Matt's leaving a mutual decision or is it purely his? I know Chris jokingly picks on him and says he is rubbish at his job etc but more recently he has sounded like he actually meant it.

You don't really expect Aled to reveal something like that on a public forum, do you?
