I loved it a few months ago when Greg did The Surgery then did his regular show and he was going a bit mad at 4.30am and producer Neil was like 'What the hell is wrong with you? That link was crap, do it again!' :)

I do believe thsi is what you meant ;)

I like how he knows by name who is regulars are. I made the point in another thread that he does actually seem to love doing Early Breakfast.

funnily enough I'm a regular on the early breakfast show and GJ called me up just before the flash flash game on NYE. Unfortunately we got cut off and I couldnt call him back, but I got told the girlfriends dad commented on how he was talkin to me as if he knew who I was (I had the phone on loudspeaker cos I was driving at the time)

That has been known to get a bit odd now and again. I like how he knows by name who is regulars are. I made the point in another thread that he does actually seem to love doing Early Breakfast.

He has more passion for it than anyone I've heard before. I bet that's not been witnessed since Mills and Moyles. He also seems to have more freedom on early breakfast so it would a shame if he moved further on for the time being. And from how it appears, that's not a problem for Greg.

I love Greg James. End of. I think he's fantastic. I also like how he talks to Newsbeat, speaking of which I thought they were getting new jingles for 2009?

They won't relaunch them until the weekend before Moyles returns or the Monday he returns. It's usually a weekend as Moyles is the first to pick up on it and I dare say they'll do it when he's back.

They just said they're being remixed/reworked. I doubt they'll be entirely new stuff

Remixed is still very new. It'll be enough to spark plenty of geeky debate I'm sure.

On topic, I imagine they could have saved a lot of money by using Greg's jingles.

Well he did that line for my panto when he phoned me after I asked him loads. I text in all the time, and comment his blog, and did the flash flash song and he's replied to one of my emails. So I think Ive done all I can for him to remember me :-p

If thats not enough I dont know how much more I can do without getting a restraining order taken out on me

Ha yeah I have found that noone actually shouts the flash flash when they are actually on the phone. But don't worry I happily flashed my headlights and fog light at people while driving. Can't understand when I get gestures, do they not understand??!!!:D

It'd be really nice to be a 'regular caller' for a show, especially with Greg who does take the time to respond to emails and all that - just a pity I'm never up at that time of day!

I sent an 'open letter' to him during one run of afternoon shows, I think in July, done with audio joking about how no-one responds to him and his offers for them to be welcomed along to the show, and so to make him feel better, I was sending him a letter instead. It ended like the ones on the show, with "and here's a song for you" or whatever, but then "wait, no, I don't want more angry emails from lawyers", and I got an email back from him asking me what song I would have chosen! T'was rather nice.
