Sorry for the double post, but I thought this was interesting, seeing as Tumble Tower seems to have this thing for CBeebies. CBeebies Radio is being cut because the average listening age is 48.

Don't know about over on TVF, but he has given the people here something to talk about.

Also does anyone know how the shifts work on the news channel
for example matthew does 5 shifts 11-2 but does that equal
the same as say 4 shifts 7-10 in the evenings? If so I wonder how
it works for annita mcveigh for example who often fills in on the 11-2
Shift but surely this wouldn't equal the same hours as one of her
weekend evening shifts??

New member. 5 posts under his belt and now this.

What the FUCK have shifts got to do with television presentation (in the sense that it was when we signed up).

Its like a swathe of kids training to work in HR or logistics. Shift patterns are interminably dull even for those paid large sums to work them out.

What POSSIBLE interest is this to anyone.

Oh Buddha, give me strength.

My god, now you mention HR, it IS a bit like a million tiny Plymouths running around. maybe they'll all grow up to have tiresome opinions formed entirely by rehashing things they heard in the pub.

Perhaps you should take a look at my most recent post in response to MrBBC...

Anybody care to guess how long it takes for one of the Mods to edit (possibly delete) the post, remove the fun part, and PM with a warning? Or will the punishment be more severe? Answers on a postcard to the usual address please!

I say they'll be removed and the initial poster banned but with no action against you because your basically correct? How close was I?

I wish I'd kept a copy of the post - in all honesty I think there was some fun to be had with shift patterns...

Magnificent. And that tiresome ethan person gone too.
