Ooh yes :D I will also be showing this to my sister's hubby (who is from the Perth/Dundee area).

I swear there is a point before the bus bit where he actually Moos? Love the way he just sort of gives up when the bus has lured him out of the way with the bright lights and moving doors :P

Professional eater of puppy dogs, baby heads and killer of grannies...

Will have to listen again.... Sounds like the driver is saying he could have him arrested, before opening the doors, then closing them in the guy's face again. Quick thinking though !!

Nope, he's saying "YOU"... it's just said in that awful Scottish way that somehow manages to sound threatening.

I think CXX666 will like this, as he will know what to do if anyone tries this on now!!

If that was me I wouldn't have bothered braking ;)

Seriously though, thats almost certainly a weekly occurance in any city. Fortunately I've not had to deal with any full on fuckwit like that yet, but the time will come. Fortunately for the driver its not really identifyable when it happened or what bus it was, otherwise he would probably have been the 1 getting in trouble for rolling forward to intimidate the guy :(

Yep. Really think it is. i am actually surprised "dealing with obnoxious passengers" is not part of your training..... also, some time back i was on a bus, and a guy held us up... He said the bus had almost knocked him off his bike. the driver rang the depot and asked someone to get the police. then this guy ran off.

Fortunately the ones I drive are fitted with at least half a dozen CCTV cameras so if someone accuses me of hitting them then the tapes will prove them right or wrong.

We got the obnoxious passengers bit during the training. If someone is having a rant about something just let them, don't take it personally and let it go straight over your head. Assaults, threating behaviour etc we get on the radio to control and they'll respond almost immediately and get another member of staff and/or the police out to where you are to help.

Mum my and dad were on a bus last Friday, when a guy randomly started to put his hood up, then got out the biggest block of binoculars in the World. Then he went down to tell the driver he had to let him off at a non-bus stop. The driver actually agreed to do so, but the guy still went on shouting "I ALWAYS GET OFF HERE!! THE DRIVERS ALWAYS LET ME OFF HERE!!"

Then he got off near a rock near the sea. On the rock was written "Please taken your litter home", even though it was out at sea.

Welcome to Ayrshire.

    • Agreed, Martha seems to quietly taken over as host of the Tuesday Bass and Big Beats show that Annie Nightingale did would be good to have some promotion to be done for her show. Agreed with this on bank holidays on a Radio 1 dance day inpaticular would be quite good to have Sarah Storey, Jaguar, Jeremiah Asiamah, Charlie Tee and Martha presenting. I always felt that in Christmas and New Year previously having Victoria Jane to do a Future Soul take over playlist.
    • To be fair to him, this week and next week he’s on his podcast tour which was arranged well before he started on R1. After that I would guess he’ll start being on everyday? 
    • It’s Jamie’s dream of a lifetime to be a full time Radio 1 presenter apparently, but he can only do it 2 or 3 days a week. 
    • Radio 1 generation meaning??  Today's 10-30 yr-olds? I doubt it. They'll still know Pete Tong though, because he is rhyming slang!
    • There was a time when everyone knew Zane Lowe or Annie Mac or Judge Jules or Dave Pearce or Annie Nightingale. Does the Radio 1 generation know the current bunch?
    • Looks like it's off to Preston! 
    • Would be nice to give more presence to the specialist shows over bank holidays. Surely the best way to promote new music credentials over anthems? As much as I accept it's very popular.
    • Peak radio 1 ! I agree with Bluestraw there was huge presence by specialist presenters then , certainly something I think radio1 could do more of now. Remember the takeover where specialist DJs would swap into main shows for a week? Or do we recall In New DJs We Trust, the competition on Chris moyles show where the winner would get a DJ set at radio 1s Ibiza weekend, and that is how Danny Howard’s radio career starters
    • Yeah. He started on R1 in the late 90's when they used do the 'Sessions in the Nations' where they used to split for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. He then moved to daytimes, firstly on weekends in 2003 then they replaced Mark & Lard on the mid afternoon slot in 2004.  Then he moved to late evenings as a specialist DJ.
    • Thanks for sharing that - I don't think I've seen it before. Didn't realise that Colin Murray off of Countdown and R5L used to be on R1! Several other current R2/R5L/R6M names there too.
    • 29th April has updated to show Dan back as presenter but still Nels in for Alyx on Introducing Rock. 6th May schedule has updated to show that the Radio 1 Big Weekend Shows will now be the following: 6am-10am 10am-2pm 2pm-6pm 6pm-8pm Still no presenters listed.
    • Where do we think Radio 2 in the Park will be this year? Personally I'm thinking Swindon after Scott's clue of it having many roundabouts and since Big Weekend is at Luton I can't imagine they'd go to Milton Keynes.
    • Yeah, I feel like they need a big push on Jack to cement him in his new position. But it shouldn't just be Jack, you've got Sian and Alyx for instance, who are relatively new faces.
    • Now in it's third week, the new Capital Breakfast Show seems to be settling down well and there are more of the informal, random Jordan topics appearing.  Though it is clear he wants to be seen slightly differently. It really is a very decent listen.
    • Just watched that advert and it made me realise quite how many 'big' specialist presenters there were back then
