Just because there is demand for something, doesn't necessarily mean that those demanding it are deserving or entitled to whatever it is.

Hmmmmm.... yet we (as tax payers) are paying for licence fees, etc. - so, if something isn't up to our standards, are we perhaps not entitled to know more?? (just a thought).

I don't quite understand the argument there. Paying the license fee and taxes should have no bearing on what a famous face gets up to in their private life.

If they are doing something criminal then yes by all means run a story on it, but my argument is that a story such as the mystery footballer (not going to say his name as I don't know if posting it could come back to bite the site and Jono on the bum) doesn't exactly have anything to do with his abilities as a footballer so why can't he be entitled to deal with the matter privately without the scum journalists getting their grubby hands all over it?

I'm not defending whatever may or may not have been done with Imogen Thomas. I just think that peoples privacy should be respected and if the media doesn't want to respect it, they should be forced to by way of injunctions and gagging orders.

very true.

what ryan giggs did was wrong, but it's between him, that imogen socialite bint, and his wife. everybody who understands football knows what a great footballers giggs has been, and that's what the public should know him for.

on the grid.

All true..... but I'm sorry but he thought he could just buy his way out the situation !! It's thanks to his legal team that Imogen wound up in the tabloids. Apparently she is now suffering from anxiety, and is on medication.... and he thought he could just f*** off nice and easily!! Well, ha ha!!!! :hahaha:

Apparently Twitter may release the names of all those who re-tweeted the name now? I've never heard anything so bloody ridiculous. So what? About 200,000 people wind up in Court??

I spent the morning looking up celebs who live in my area. So far, I've found Debra Stephenson. Apparently Martin Clunes and Howard off of Take That sometimes come down here. Unfortunately, they all shop in Morrisons, Sainsbury's and Waitrose. We only shop in Tesco and Asda. Meh.

OMASM. Radio presenters are like fruit. Matt is my kumquat and Scott is blatantly my orange.

I'm only following people who I think are worth following. People who think they're 'famous' becasue of shows like Big Brother annoy me. But it depends how famous you are, and if you're mega famous, stuff about you's gonna get found out sooner or later.

In the end, celeb's choose what they put out there, and it's their fault if it all backfires in their faces

And that, is the beauty of Twitter.

and yet there are those who insist on following those who annoy them... it's weird. It's like the Unfollow button isn't big enough or something.

Some of the tweets that people post to annoy people can be quite entertaining though... or maybe that's just me.

    • Dean McCullough in for Greg w/c 4th August. James Cusack on EB.
    • Well looks like Mollie is off all month now so presumably a personal matter. 
    • Intrigued why Matt & Mollie aren't presenting breakfast on Monday, with James in for them instead (which has happened before).. or even James given a chance to present the breakfast show?
    • Sam & Danni seem to be down for Breakfast on Monday. James Cusack on Going Home. That’s another new name in the list of “people who have hosted Going Home in 2025”.
    • Wednesday, surely? But this is another mess, as this weeks Summer press release said it’ll be Sam & Danni no Jamie from the 28th - so it’s actually a whole week earlier!
    • Jamie Laing’s last show before his summer break will be on Wednesday 16th July.
    • I worked out once Scott spent 3 months of a year off his own slot in the Moyles days and more like 4 in Grimmys days, six weeks of his own holiday and projects, six covering Grimmy plus some ad hoc days 
    • Back on topic, I think there's quite a few of the current Radio 1 presenters who would be able to adapt to Radio 2's style in the future. It's more of question of how many of them will actually end up there. With much of R2's line up changed over the past couple of years, it's quite possible we won't see much movement there, and R2 management might even decide to look elsewhere to bring in new presenters in future.
    • With OJ covering on bank holidays. She is the best person for the job however... they're going to end up with a situation like Scott covering R1 breakfast back in the day, where she spends quite a bit of time off her own slot covering Breakfast, plus her own holiday and other commitments. She's been filming for something recently which has meant she's been off several days a week since May. She was off last week, on breakfast this week, OJ is on Mon/Tues next week, then She's off the following two weeks.
    • Looking back at this I would say now that Sara is the main cover - I think she has been reestablished as it now 
    • Purley on the R1 Dance station.. Someone on DS said don't expect to see any changes to the schedule on the new stations however if they are taking on Capital Dance with this, which they clearly are, which has live presenters 7am - 10pm except for the 11am mix then they'll surely have to have a proper scheduled set of shows. At the moment Arielle is the only "live" per say show and only "live" a few days a week with earlier shows being repeated Thursday Friday and Saturday. Connor and Charlie are clearly pre records but was this only for the time it was online only and they have already got a schedule ready to go on day 1? also of note is that Charlie is taking over a podcast as well as starting a new project with podcasting which makes me wonder if she is about to step back from Dance Anthems all together to concentrate on those and Connor takes over? So you could have Arielle doing 9-12 weekdays live then someone else 12-3 and Connor live 3-6 on R1D and doing Dance Anthems on a Saturday. 
    • As none of the Going Home Team aren't currently on the air, that's a bit if an issue. Considering most of the Dance DJs will be out there, I'm surprised none of them are being utilised to host the 1-4 slot that weekend.
    • Going Home presenters have done the last few years ?
    • Nat and Vicky are being sent to Ibiza this year. They’ll be live on Friday 1st August from 1-4pm.     
    • Since Radio 1 Dance and Anthems have been allowed to broadcast on DAB, do we think they’ll be a proper schedule of shows like on Radio 1 Dance with the morning show and Dance Anthems at drive time. Maybe Lauren Redfern, Tyler Selby, Chrissy Cameron or Matt Hallsworth will be scheduled on named shows like Hits Radio 00s or Capital Anthems rather than the generic ‘Radio 1 Anthems’ show. Obviously it would probably cost more to produce actual shows on the station however.
