No thanks, I've graduated to being an Enders fan! I'm going places! :D

All jokes aside, ever since Lucy (Melissa Bell), left, its not quite been the same! She was my schoolboy crush! :D

A person I know says 'gadgie'; I think it's a synonym for either 'minger' or 'chav', I'm not sure which.

As someone thats over the hill (similar age to Jo Whylie), I can't really comment on whether Chris is 'right' for the target audience, I just know he's good.
It is something I have pondered in the past, I can't bear local radio, I fall asleep at radio 2, so if I want characters like Chris Moyles and his team, with decent sounds too, then I have little alternative than to break the rules, and not pander to the marketing strategies which put me outside of the target audience, (As do many others of my age, but shhh..... don't tell the consumer police).

One of the 'degrees' I have is a small business NVQ3, when I attended the course we spent 2 weeks organising society into stupid little boxes, denoting who they were by where they lived, what jobs they had, what age they were, what sex they were, what race they were, where they were born, what colour their cats ass were! etc. At the party after the course had finished I spoke to the lecturer that specialised in that particular part of the course, he told me his company (hired in by Business Link) were paid £150 per day for that b*****it, mostly funded by local government....in other words - tax payers (US!).

So sod the target audience, when Moyles' doesn't continue to pull in the audiences then he will move on to pasteurs new, until then "If it aint broke, why fix it?"

I'd carry on listening to Chris regardless of what station he was on. Even if he couldnt get a radio job somewhere else (unlikely) and setup his own website with the daily show downloadable via a podcast and some kind of subscription, I would buy and listen, because I enjoy and understand his humour and the show.

People who take everything he says and pick it apart and analyse it on some deep meaningful level to should focus on themselves and get a life.

I agree with both those last posts.
I listen to Moyles with my 2 teenage children and we all enjoy the show completely. To be fair both my children are quite mature for their ages and I am quite immature for my age :oops: :twisted: :lol: So our sense of humor is almost the same.

My daughter schedules her morning routine according to Moyles and she always likes to listen to Celebrity Tarzan before leaving for school - then if it is guessed right I have to text her and tell her who it was LOL
