Radio 2 has morphed into Radio 1.5 in the last few years. Just wall to wall modern R 'n' B, and throw in bland shite like Adele/Shearan, . Hardly anything that could be construed as rock music. You rarely even hear anything known as "traditional R2 music"..... e.g. Carpenters, Gilbert O'Sullivan, etc.

Pop Master, and that's it, for me.. They've gone too far in trying to capture 30 something mums from Heart, Galaxy, Capital.

Excellent post! - I'm also not a Zoe Ball fan, so even the breakfast show is out for me. These things change all the time so there's hope yet!

Pop master is the good part but it's situated too close to that shit stirring lurch Jeremy Vine's show.

We got so sick of that shit stirring necrophile we moved over to BBC Radio Wales. Jason Mohammed is a poor mans Jeremy Vine but we only really listen to The Go Compare guy, Wynne Evans, he does a good show in all areas, music, chat, some right laughs and a few good quizes. After that BBC Radio Bland.
 
When i put a bag down on the floor like a bag of rubbish etc and it always leans the wrong way or even dares to topple over!!
 
What is it with the cords on window blinds??? They only get pulled up and down but seem to get knotted to fuck constantly and need untangling. It’s like somebody is sneaking in and deliberately putting loads of knots in them!
 
Me: do you fancy the pub on Friday ? (Several days notice)
Me: Let's go to the pub at 7 (several hours notice)
Me: its a nice night let's walk to the pub (10 minutes notice)
We then enter the pub and I say 'what do you want to drink'
Answer .... oh I don't know.
She's had 3 days, several hours and deffo 10 minutes to think about what drink she wants and she still doesn't know.

Too right, Radio 2 used to be great but there’s no decent music on there apart from on the Jeremy Vine Show (gets tin hat out). Glad I’m not the only one who can’t stand the genre that includes Adele and Sheeran. Why can’t they play a bit of Punk “light” mixed with some rock classics, guitar bands and brilliant solo artists from yesteryear. Ken Bruce probably has the worst playlist going but I don’t listen to Radio 2 a lot these days so could be wrong.

I’ve been saying the same about BBC Radio 6 Music going the same way over the last few years.

There’s still a lot of traditional Radio 6 stuff, but there’s been an influx of shit 90s and 00s r’n’b like Nelly, Beyoncé, Usher, Kelis etc.

Music that Radio 1 has stopped playing because it’s old, but it’s not traditional Radio 6 stuff. I don’t tune into Stuart Marconi to listen to that kind of music, and I’m certain it’s not stuff that him and Steve Lamacq have on their playlists and look forward to playing.

They’ve also binned off Shaun Keaveny which no listener wanted or was happy about.

I know the BBC wanted to pull Radio 6 a while ago and we, the listeners, protested and managed to keep it. But ever since then, this shit music has started creeping in and become a feature. I have a feeling that bosses are trying to phase it out by just moulding 1, 2 and 6 into two stations eventually.

I rarely listen to 6 anymore, but I think that’s what they want.

My partner has a family photo in an old frame which used to belong to her mum and which stands on the chest of drawers in which I keep my undies and socks. Every day I go into the drawer to get a clean set and the photo falls over with a bang. It's like Arkwright's till in Open All Hours. Drives me mad but she won't change the frame because it's an heirloom and claims there's nowhere else it can go.
