I'd pay £150 for the council to silence you.

No, seriously! Just listen to the last one I did! The results speak for themselves.

I don't know if its the content, or the voice, but that made me crack up!

Do you know what MrToms - I took your advice after today's god awful day at work...and I decided to try reading myself another news bulletin:

A feeling of pure ecstacy that just cannot be defined. The demo saved my life.
Goodness me, whoever wrote that Countdown jingle should be awarded a prize - it's fab!

"If an alarm can't be turned off whilst you're not there, the Council will switch it off for you ...costing £150."

It sounds a little sarcastic and almost tabloidy - don't mean to put you down but it just sounded, well, sarcastic to me.

"The council will silence it at a cost of £150" might have been more appropriate.
I didn't write the copy. ;)

Nothing sarcastic about that at all. Maybe a little tabloidy, but for a lot of commercial radio stations that works well. It depends on the target audience of the station.

Agreed - thing to remember is that Fosseway Radio's target audience is somewhat more refined - than that of, say, a GWR station. The DJs and newsreaders are generally a lot more friendly and "personal" - you feel like you're being talked to, not at.

I find virtually all music DJs far short of "cracking".

Listening to these twats is like Heat magazine for the ears. Pathetic.

(Ison excluded though, as he is God)

Ison's a newsreader.

Minor detail.

But in Johnnyboy's defence, weren't you the last person to confuse God and radio personalities?

Much appreciated jb. :)

But of course I can't help but think we're all missing the real issue here. Rod likes his photos, and James Martin likes his demos...I've actually come to look forward to them. In fact, I can tell you that I was absolutely RAMMED because of it. Doesn't make sense? It's not supposed to...

I need another cracking demo!!
