Then... just ignore it?

I can't understand why you're making such a big deal out of it.

I don't like football but when that's mentioned on the radio and TV I don't go and start a thread about it.

It's almost as if you're trying to make a 'It's cool to hate reality TV/Big Brother' club, and the more noise you make, the cooler you look.

Regards,

Olly.

ok then we will vent it in the official thread.

you can treat it like the world cup if you like, we had the real thread where people who love and know football talked about it all in there. and then we had jono's. someone who has little chance of knowing who alan shearer was but still commented about football.

on the grid.

I have made it clear in my personal message next to my screen name and my signature on here that I am not interested in Big Brother. This is an attempt to stop people from trying to discuss with me the goings-on in the programme. I won't know what's going on in it, and I don't care. People still try to talk to me about it anyway, regardless.

I've got a bright idea for you, just say you're not interested!

Why make a big song and dance about it... I just don't get it.

Do you actually have any idea what you're on about? I wasn't trying to do that at all. I was simply stating that I don't like the programme, and I thought I'd create a thread for myself and other people who don't like it to talk about reasons why we don't like or what we will be doing instead of watching it.

How is one thread "making a big song and dance" about it? :-?

I don't see this thread having any longevity beyond the first few days of Big Brother

To me, it doesn't really matter how long this thread lasts. I don't like Big Brother and don't see myself changing my mind any time soon. That's what matters to me!

Yes, I do actually have some idea what I'm talking about, believe it or not. I have eyes, and a brain.

I've had a great idea, every time I see something I don't like, I'll start a thread about it on here - wouldn't that be fantastic?

We could all start threads on here about how to run our lives, too. I can see it now!

Should I breathe tomorrow?

How many slices of toast should I have for breakfast?

What excuse can I use for not doing my homework?

Some guy/girl looked at me, do they fancy me?

Regards,

Olly.

This is a discussion forum. People are allowed to post threads about not liking a particular TV program. No one is telling you not to watch it. It's a choice, and some people like it, some people don't. I don't like how people get so damn militant about a TV program. You either enjoy it or you don't watch it. I don't see why we shouldn't discuss our reasons for disliking the program. It's got nothing to do with telling you how to live your life and you shouldn't react like it is.

I don't see how discussing Celebrity Big Brother is any more worthwhile on this forum than discussing the subjects you mentioned above.

Anyway, I'm not going to get into a fight, so I will exit here.

You think we're millitant about it, yet you're the ones starting a thread to whinge about it in?

Er... right...

It's like you're saying 'Wow, I'm so cool because I'm different and hate reality TV!' by posting this.. that's the issue I have with it.

I'd like to point out that I didn't start this thread actually.

instead of being a sad act and stopping in tonight just to watch big brothel. i went out with a load of oldskool friends who went to high school with me. and we laughed our faces off about what we used to do back then and how we used to take the pi*s out of the teachers, and the things that happened.

thats enjoyment, i am still smiling now

well thats just way off i am afriad. we dont think we are cool or nothing becuase we are doing this. if you want it is an example that you dont have to be told what to like. i have nothing against people who watch big bother, but the fact is i am pi*sed off with people telling me i should watch a bunch of tw*ts walk around a house bitching about each other. i am not into celeb and gossip mags like hello magazine (which may be the reason i am pulling away from radio 1 again), so that may be the reason i am not interested in it. i would prefer to watch somthing like planet earth, that has a lot of hard work put into it. and this thread states the alternative options if you like.

on the grid.

How is that in any way related to this thread??

As I've said before, that wasn't my intention at all and I don't see why you think it was.

DC - sounds like you had a really good night! :) I love catching up with old friends, it's what I'll be doing tomorrow. Aside from packing to go back to uni. Oh, and not watching Big Brother! :P

    • There was talk on my Big Weekend group from the council about them waiting for Ticketmaster to send an email out. They said they've been waiting a week. Maybe they're waiting for train strike confirmation first. 
    • It’s on Saturday and Friday that week too. I guess this would make sense, as it gives them roughly 6 weeks off weekends until they start the new show?
    • Yeah he's on more than usual including this Sunday and then 3 more shows in May according to the above. Makes me think it's James for the weekend shows also
    • For some reason there is 'Summer on Radio 1' listed on Sunday 2nd June, could this be replacing M&M until July?
    • They seem to be using James more for cover now makes me think it will be him getting weekends eitjer breakfast or 1 till 4 
    • Yep am very much Capital Breakfast now. Jordan, Chris and Sian are a great trio and it's got that feel of the old shows Jordan and Chris used to do on Radio 1. It doesn't take itself too seriously but is packed full of content and slick. With Greg he's great but 6 years in you've probably heard it all before plus frankly I can sit through the Capital Playlist a lot more easily than the Radio 1 playlist (where some of the inclusions and omissions can be quite baffling at times). Plus after things like the Oscars or Met Gala or if there's a particularly big TV show or film or popstar then Greg won't half wang on about it at times. I guess it's partly to be expected with it being a Breakfast show on a young station but it can feel very London bubble and get tired.
    • Ore Olukoga is in for Arielle on Tuesday 14th May. James Cusack is in for Danny Beard on Saturday 1st June. James Cusack is in for Nat on Sunday 2nd June.
    • I honestly never thought in a million years I’d move from Radio 1 to be a regular Capital breakfast show listener. But it’s got pretty much everything I want - 3 really genuine, entertaining mates having a laugh, playing silly games and it all sounds great. I became a big fan of Chris from his days with Scott, became a Jordan fan on Going Home, and Sian Welby is newer to me but is loads of fun too.  It’s great and I’ve shocked myself by transferring my listening at breakfast. For me Greg’s show now feels very tired and it’s time for something new. But with Jordan gone that’s unlikely to happen anytime soon. Greg’s had a great run and I’m a fan - but there’s no new ideas now. I still listen to Radio 1 at other times - but this show feels like very serious competition for Greg. 
    • They have built four new studios to increase capacity, alongside the existing six.  Bearing in mind that some of the output of R1, 1X, R2 & 6M comes from elsewhere, and Asian Network is gradually moving all output to Birmingham, this should be enough!
    • How do they manage to cater for 6Music and Radio 2 on that floor? Did they adapt it? 
    • I think we've all figured out now how much you like it @AndyK77 😂 Personally while I think it's by far the best show on the Capital schedule and better than its predecessor, it still has the shortened songs and other commercial-radio aspects that remind me why I'm a Radio 1 fan. No matter how well this has worked out for Jordan, and all credit to him for landing the job, I can't help but feel that a Jordan and Katie show on R1 breakfast would have been so much better!
    • A few weeks in and I am actually loving the show and Jordan is a nice mix of his old chaotic self and dare I say it a slick jock.
    • He must be in his element. At Eurovision and a Gold award!
    • I really like Rylan, and as much of a fun idea it would be to have Scott and Rylan together, I think Rylan is too much of a main character.  Scott needs a side-kick rather than a full on co-host I think. That’s why he and Chris worked so well, Scott steered the show, and Chris was the perfect person to have alongside him.    I don’t religiously listen to Rylan’s show, but when I do catch it, it’s perfect weekend energy. He has a very warm presenting style too, but something makes me think he and Scott together every day would be a bit too much.     
    • So pleased for Scott on his best entertainment show win. As much as I miss his R1 style, he clearly puts so much into his shows, well deserved and it’s a big two fingers up to all the abuse he has had since joining R2
