At least Chris should be back for the rest of the year after this holiday. With Edith not quite back, Jo ready to pop, and Scott due a holiday again soon, he might be the only stable one!

What do you mean MIGHT? He IS the only stable one!

[Boboff]

What I don't get is why the six weeks of Summer Holidays flew by the the last 10 days have dragged.

Can't be Scott's fault, or could it?

[Vivienne]

I think people need to get a grip. 2 weeks is hardly taxing, and I've found it's gone by really fast.

[Yudster]

She has a point.

[Console]

Viv, it may have felt like two weeks (or longer), but it's not over yet.

[Vivienne]

I just get surprised by how anxious people get. How did we get by in the days before radio, I don't know.

[Console]

'We' didn't get by in the days before radio.

[Vivienne]

anyway, 3 words for those over-anxious = get.a.life

Hmmmm, ok, right away.

Coming from someone who spends her entire life listening to radio one...................

.................no,

What I don't get is why the six weeks of Summer Holidays flew by the the last 10 days have dragged.

can't be bothered!

You have never said a truer word young Bob!

Considering I started this thread, your comments make me feel soooo much better about myself Viv!!!!

[Yudster]

Has anyone been listening to Scott? Has he been any good? I used to like him, and you never know, he might actually do a decent show again one day - if he does, I'll definitely start to listen to him again.

[MK Chris]

I agree with you Yudster, but I haven't hung around to find out either.

Instead, this morning, I listened to an entertaining (and I do mean that, I'm not being sarcastic) debate between Richard Branson and Willie Walsh of British Airways on Five Live.

[Yudster]

Who won?

[MK Chris]

Well, I agreed with Branson. But I'm sure they've both done some very dodgy deals in their time.

[Yudster]

I've often wondered about that. You hear the old cliche about how ultra successful people obviously MUST be crooked - I'm not so sure its true. After all, there's been no dirt dished on Branson since - well - well, ever really, and goodness knows plenty of people have tried very very hard to find some. He's made bad business decisions, but he's been open about them and paid up where necessary. I don't believe someone with the amount of pissed off and vengeful competitors as he has would be able to hide a crooked deal.

[MK Chris]

Tis a good point you make.

But I think it's fair to say that the vast majority of self-made millionaires have done the odd bit of dodgy dealing.

Speaking as a Mills fan *ducks I'd say we are all looking forward to him returning to afternoons. I am also a Moyles fan and have missed him. It'll be interesting to find out what he's been upto over his 'working holiday'.
