Yes the Instagram story is very curious. I have never used the Instagram story function so I have no idea how it works. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The BBC has dumped its favoured presenters on Radio 2 or its expanding of obscure stations. The unfavoured ones (especially if they are white, male or conservative) get fired and end up on commercial radio. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ulitzer95 12,853 Posted December 27, 2021 Janice Long's death revealed by The Telegraph to be pneumonia. Reportedly sudden and unexpected. Worth noting her brother, Keith Chegwin, died aged 60 from a lung disease which was likely caused by his 60-cigs-a-day habit. Given her brown teeth, you got to wonder... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bibliogryphon 9,648 Posted January 30, 2022 I see one of the Tabloids has a scoop about Rylan Clarke-Neal and drug use today. The Twitter noises I have seen have been supportive of Rylan and he has tweeted "Slow News Day" but see where this story goes. I think Rylan has done very well with the talents he has been given. The previous incumbents of the Radio 2 Saturday afternoon slot have gone on to bigger things. The biggest accolade I can offer is that I don't turn him off if I am in the car on Saturday afternoon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Apparently kicked off a big scene because they didn't have a straw for his drink. He does strike me as someone who would be a total nightmare in real life – a bit precious. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
