I agree with all of the above. Being surrounded by fat, ugly (mainly because of their ignorance and rudeness) people does tend to get on your tits sometimes, and I think you should be allowed to express this.

Very ugly chap cut us up today, and almost crashed into our car. We hooted. He stopped his car, got out and came over. Hastily locked doors, but fortunately the stupid git only wanted to talk to us in the middle of a very busy main road, as opposed to thump anyone.

Mind you, having said that, there are plenty of very nice looking, pleasant people in Leeds too.

This is the Tweet from Scott that made me decide I no longer want to follow him:

"I'm not a shallow person, but this Airport is full of the ugliest people I have ever seen in one place"

Yep, stuff like that bugs me as well. That's why I first created this topic. And it does indicate shallowness, in fact. That's why I tweeted him the other week to say he was looks-obsessed, because my head was fizzing because of him. Of course, London is a looks-based town, and Scott's fallen into that trap of being in the vacuous media spotlight, where only your next performance matters, so image becomes ultra important.

These days, we all need to go round looking like Mr/Miss World, to be considered OK in Society. Maybe a lot of these people at the Airport had been travelling for some time, and were bloody shattered.

I've often thought random people in the street aren't very nice, but an ENTIRE airport full of ugly people....... ????

*rant over * woo - and breathe......... count to ten... and breathe...

what is so good about Twitter? I'm thinking about creating an account, but I'm not sure yet. What are the advantages of having Twitter?

Just instant updates from friends, or means of finding stuff out about the radio/tv very quickly.

Or getting the news updates very fast. I didn't like it at first, but now I love it..

But...it's his twitter? He kind of gets to say what he wants on it, like the rest of us do? I don't quite get why anyone would be annoyed enough by his tweets to moan about them, or @reply him to complain. I mean, there's a button that says 'unfollow' right there on his page. It's not all that difficult to point the mouse at it and click.

Kelly bringing some much needed common sense to procedings. Quite how anyone can get worked up over Twitter is beyond me.

Exactly. I've had the odd complaint about Tweets because I took part in one of those hashtag games and ORDERING me to stop those tweets, I told said people they don't have to follow and was still given a rather aggressive and militant reply (and by DM too).

If you don't like, don't follow, rather simple answer there, if that crap carries on, I save them the trouble of ever having to read my tweets by blocking, if it's so harrowing for them. :rolleyes:

You are both right, Kelly and Horseyboy. You can choose to unfollow people. So why make such a song and dance about Scott's personal opinions?

You can also easily skim through Twitter and ignore certain tweets if the avatar is a prominent one. I do this when Formula 1 is on.;)

This is another reason I like Tweetdeck, you can filter tweets so you don't have to read things to do with certain tags or subjects. I for instance will be filtering any #worldcup or #comeonengland tweets as well as any about #bigbrother rather than moaning at the people tweeting about these things. Wish I could do that for threads on Forums too :P as whatever the medium I have zero interest in either subject mentioned above.

They have got much funnier, which is a good thing, and he is remembering to do mentions for Show stuff coming up, which is good (the way Jono did).

The "shallow" stuff is a thing which a number of people I have spoken to have been annoyed by.. Take that away, and he'd be really cool. I just don't want to be lying in my bed, trying to sleep, and have a tweet put through to my phone about how ugly people are in airports.

Yeh, we could unfollow.... I've considered that, but then, I'd miss out on stuff I can turn into topics. If I can get a topic out of something, then I suppose his tweeting is more positive than negative at the end of the day. Woo.

Still love him though!! I guess we all have something people could complain about on twitter!! :-)

It's good to feel something!! Emotion proves we are alive!!

Anyhow (puts logical cap on).... this topic will probably have a positive effect on the number of people who follow.... people are curious creatures, and will no doubt follow now to see what all the "fuss" is about.

Every cloud.......

Yes, it's important, but there's a fine line between grooming and being just a little obsessed. But then, the Society we live in is sooo vacuous that this stuff does become over-important.

Anyhow, I must continue with my uber busy life. Bye for now!!

*bring back the 80s* :hahaha:

I think what I am trying to say is certain things just can't be bought .... can you buy this tree, just as an example:-

picture.php?albumid=196&pictureid=1892

I just get fed up with people zoning in on looks, or who is wearing what, and why ..... and it's never enough really, is it..... I mean, even if we were all perfect (physically and materially), someone would find something wrong with it.

I do too, but to sit in an office (depending on where you are), and listen to drivel all day (and I've done it).... is a different matter. 10 minutes, or so, yep.... 9 am to 5 pm... bleuch.

Anyhow, I've said it before (several times now), Scott has more positive characteristics than negatives, so at the end of the day, it's all good.

to each his/her own... this topic is boring me now.

    • Just Vick and Katie on Wednesday (and presumably Thursday as well).
    • Unless people can provide a source for this information then it should be treated as false.   Why would Jordan sign a contract with the BBC in the autumn when he agreed a deal with Global?  He could have left in August and not had to deal with the BBC.  Vick who doesn't really like Global why would she recommend him to go there and then warn him in her post to be careful?   It's been whispered from October that Roman was thinking of going.  Roman and Jordan have the same management team.  Why would they put Jordan in a place where he would have to battle with the BBC.  They could have agreed a deal with Global for Jordan in the summer.  They might have had to pay first couple months but they would do they to secure him.  If they had known about Roman wanting to leave they could have paid Roman off to get Jordan on air quicker.  Global would also not had legal around BBC contract to deal with and would not have had to pay the BBC to release Jordan.  None of what people say makes sense and if it did happen the way people say then BBC are not the stupid ones.  It really is not a good look to be talking with Global for 6 months, to then sign a contract with a the BBC, continue to talk to Global behind BBC's back after signing and then couple of months later want to leave and to throw a hissy fit as the BBC are not giving you what you want when you want it. That not a good light for Jordan or his management.   
    • Wow, surprised he signed a new contract in September but it says a lot about Jordan that he continued to a very high standard throughout last summer/autumn if this was all going on in the background. 
    • They knew Roman wanted to leave early last year but wasn't officially announced but he gave them time to sort replacement. Found and offered Jordan a deal in June or July and needed time to get Jordan out of Contract at bbc and roman to do notice  Jordan had dinner with Katie Vick and Arielle to ask advice and all said he should go.   
    • And they told Radio 4’s Feedback that it was an ‘experiment’ to ‘look at the best way to serve young listeners’ but reaffirmed that 280 hours commitment.
    • I doubt he wanted to go to Global if a slot before he found out kemp was leaving.
    • We're hoping to get some answers in the coming weeks
    • From what he's saying on the Pod he's been trying to get out of r1 for a while. Looks like he needed to wait for a show on global to be available. Jordan had bbq last summer with most of thr global execs and he's referenced the deal was in place then. Obviously the hold up was r1 being stubborn
    • All seems to be back to normal this morning.
    • Indeed and Jordan was already friends with Sian Welby, Will Manning and Jimmy Hill.  
    • It's great to see those friendships still thriving. I think the days of Radio 1 DJs and Capital DJs being unable to co-exist is long over. You used to either be firmly BBC or commercial, and you don't get the sense that's the case anymore. 
    • Maia Beth will be presenting the Radio 1 Happy shows from the 27th April replacing Katie.  https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001ydkr
    • Vick and Jordan together on Insta (with Ariel’s) in Ibiza. You do imagine Jordan’s ex colleagues have a very different attitude to him than management. Comments on Help! And very subtle comments on Capital Breakfast suggest Jordan was frustrated with Radio 1 / BBC management.  
    • I can name quite a few people on this forum who would be better presenters than Danny.
    • His NYE shows were very good. Only thing I would say is he was shackled down slightly there. During his peak he played some great trance stuff in the late 90s and early 00s. So if he were to do a regular show that would have to feature more. Aside from I'd love to see him back.
