you must shop a lot. ive got like 5 airmiles after spending loads in various places

[Purrsnickety]

Well not me personally but my mum does for the family.

[Funky Drummer]

what did the pot noodle feel like aled?

Could you not tell from the noises he was making!?!?!

[timb]

the noises he made made it sound very distressing but i'm wondering exactly what it felt like, as in what he thought it might have been.

[Nablo.]

i'm sure Aleds a Sainsburys man

I'm a Tesco's man actually - Air Miles see.

Poor choice of Supermarket there. The skum of all supermarkets.

[timb]

no that's somerfield

tescos are okay but there isn't one in leicester CC anymore

[Sidders]

There's a Sainsburys though, which is far better.

[coct]

Sainsburys is expensive, pays its staff f**k all and deserves to be burnt to the ground. Certainly flag ship stores. Sainsburys local can stay though, its easy, closer to the pub than spar.

[timb]

Sainsburys is actually cheaper on many of their home brand products. Certainly cheaper than somerfield.

[Chief Erf]

timb are you an expert on everthing.

[coct]

It isn't, not the one I used to work in.

I know better because I worked there. We got told about other places. Mofo

[Funky Drummer]

"The official 'Ask Aled' Thred".....let's not digress now...

[timb]

funny because i shop there. i actually compared the prices. if it wasn't cheaper i wouldn't shop there.

[coct]

Do you think they provide good service? That is what they pride them selves on.

SCAN AND PACK

Tv's above the checkouts, its ridiculous. All they could show was weather and football.

[kendra k]

aled, what do you think of brown nosers?

[Adam]

aled - its hard enough getting through to radio one, let alone the studio. i had to laugh at the rant had chris about that caller. was she from crawley, w. sussex?

as your the person who puts the callers through does chris blame you?

[LJ]

Hiya Aled!

I just wondered after hearing Moylesey mention yesterday that you opted to stay at a more swanky hotel than the rest of the Radio 1 staff who were in Manchester, should everyone on the message board now refer to you as A-Jo?!?

[Adam]

its a nice hotel. gotta feelings its near the station.

[Lawrie]

when your in Leeds any chance of meeting you all?

[Aled]

aled - its hard enough getting through to radio one, let alone the studio. i had to laugh at the rant had chris about that caller. was she from crawley, w. sussex?

Sometimes he does. Since working on the show - more than any other Radio 1 show - the Chris factor REALLY plays into the equation. You can never tell what's going to happen to the callers in the 2-3 mins between putting them into the desk and Chris talking to them on air.

I have a really strict criteria of the type of callers I put through on air. I go through 70-100 people before I pick people. I can have two perfect callers with me who rehearse it and are loud and funny and then the other side of the wait they go on air and they can change. nerves can make callers go quiet, nervous, shy or sometimes overly chatty!

chris knows this.

Anyway... we're doing a re-match today

[Aled]

What he said on air was true... but none how it sounds. Radio 1 wouldn't pay for my hotel because I had no real reason to stay. So I when I had to pay I asked for the rate of both hotels the Radio 1 hotel was £20 more expensive than the Mal so at the end of the night I had to leave everyone and go and stay at that hotel on my own. More a penny-less version of J-Lo than a Diva version!

[Aled]

when your in Leeds any chance of meeting you all?

I think we're doing a session where we meet some public from Leeds so yes, I'm sure there'd be a chance.

chris knows this.

so apart from the possibly breakfast show, are you saying chris moyles gets the highest amount of phone calls?

ive noticed this, asiding from the Justin Comp, that the callers often get nervous and mess up. The matrix comp today - the guy hardly got any questions right - i think it was about two in the end which is a shame.

it makes great radio for the likes of us, but i really felt sorry for that girl yesterday. truely a sound clip achieve.
