Summer on Radio 1

[Viv]

Aled has an interview with Q magazine today!! Wonder what will be being discussed?!

Will there be Moyles' stuff?

[R94N]

Perhaps...or just about his career as a presenter so far perhaps, what with the Surgery and that.

[MrDoovdeHaxorz]

I'm surprised your headline wasn't more Sun-like... maybe Aled's Right On Q or similar bilge..

[Andy Mac]

Is it really bad that I can't stand Aled? I find him such a bore. He is just too vanilla for me...and Welsh.

[R94N]

No, I can see why you don't like him. He does get quite a lot of hate on the Chris Moyles Show from the sounds of it.

[Guest]

I love him He's lovely.

[R94N]

So do I I started listening to the Surgery because he was doing it, not because I had any problems or anything!

[Guest]

Me too... and you get quite alot of info too.

[MrDoovdeHaxorz]

I can also kinda see why people might not like him, but I do like him meself. Never really heard any serious hate on the show though?

[R94N]

No, just that there's been a couple of times where Chris has said 'there's a lot of hate for you on the text, Aled' or something similar, and Aled has said 'more than usual?'.

[MrDoovdeHaxorz]

Ahh right, stuff gets texted in but they don't air it (I'm guessing a fair amount probably homophobic?)

[Guest]

Its probs just homophobic people being arseholes...

[R94N]

Ah, yeah, that'd be it then. Hadn't thought of that before.

[The Stig]

Ah I like Aled but to admit to missing Rachel a bit.

[Tom.]

Ah I like Aled but to admit to missing Rachel a bit.

I don't think it helps that Tina is so quiet and doesn't quite match up to carrie...

[Jono]

I hate Matt...

Not really, but just throwing it out there.

[Viv]

Is it really bad that I can't stand Aled? I find him such a bore. He is just too vanilla for me...and Welsh.

God, Andy!! "Vanilla"?! That's an odd description of someone.

No, it's not bad. We've all got presenters we don't like. Look at the astonishing hate for Fearne!!

[MrDoovdeHaxorz]

God, Andy!! "Vanilla"?! That's an odd description of someone.

Usually means plain, nothing special, bland. Some of my food tastes for instance are fairly vanilla (although less so recently).

Not so sure that description can be applied to Aled though Mr Mac, but there are probably far worse descriptions you could have come up with.

[Viv]

Yes, I had understood that!!

[MrDoovdeHaxorz]

I don't know whether it could possibly have a slightly different context in the Gay community though, I have heard someone be described as a Vanilla Lesbian before.

[Viv]

Vanilla lesbian!! Right...... I have heard everything now.

Goes off to google.....

DOOVDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOOK!! Here is the definition: "Gay expression for conventional sex without any kinky extras such as bondage or sado-masochism. ..."

I wonder what bondage and Sado-masochism are?!?!

[MrDoovdeHaxorz]

Vanilla Lesbian

A girl (usually teenage to early twenties) that professes to people that she is a lesbian when in fact she is is usually pretending to do so to gain the attention of one or more men.

UrbanDictionaryYo!

[Viv]

Urban dictionary, nothing!! Look what my computer came up with!! (above).

[MrDoovdeHaxorz]

Urban dictionary, nothing!! Look what my computer came up with!! (above).

Yeah I just saw. In this context that does seem to fit better. Maybe this tells us more about Mr Mac, in that he used that description :hahaha:

[Viv]

Maybe Andy Mac is secretly gay!!
