He does - 'Comedy Dave' - never has someone had a less accurate prefix - and Jo Wiley looks and talks like a cat holding in a fart - and Dave Peirce - is it possible there is a loophole in the law that would make him actually illegal for him to exist?

"In daytime it is at best inoffesensive but it at least it has an intellegence(sp?) that no commercial station has."

Rubbish. Try Radio Two, or even *gulp* Radio Four if you're looking for even a wedge of intelligence (sorry if using "wedge" doesn't make sense!) They may not play particularly good music - Radio Four is certainly guilty of this - but you are in less danger of losing a brain cell, as opposed to the mindless drivel of Chris Moyles and "Comedy Dave", who should quite frankly be prosecuted under the "Trade Descriptions Act". Of course, he couldn't be, but.....you (hopefully) know what I'm getting at....

Radio One in the day-time is for the tabloid-reading masses, who thrive on gossip/trivia and have an indifferent liking of music (i.e whatever happens to be mainstream/commercially "popular").

Wogan is the shit. Word to your mother.

absolutely - iainf listen to the man here, he speaketh the truth! I used to have to do the same trick too tho when i lived a little even further south of Guildford, back from its pirate days - you can get it easier now with the Crapital-boosted bigger fatter signal but frankly i'd sooner pour fucking bleach down my ears than listen to owt on that station nowadays during the week pre-9pm (the sound of lauren laverne excepted maybe..). imho........... With all the hills round there there's some good london pirates that you can just about get too, or at least on my bad car stereo when driving back through there...
Yeah I'm holding out for cheap digital radios myself too, Sir J Kennedy's almost the sole reason i go near 104.9 fm now anyway...

and, uh, plays great music that nobody else is likely to play?

pEEL IS STILL THE best Dj on radio, apart from those two guys who do Mixing It on Radio of a Sunday Eve.

I mean come on; no-one else would play 'Bee in Bunnyhead' by Venetian Snares next to an old acoustic blues number!

Just think how much better Peel would be if he played crazee alternative stuff like the Stone Roses and Fifty Cent.
