Are 44 and 35-year-old women too old to DJ on Radio One?

[electrogirl]

Oh god Ken. Why don't you just tell us how you discovered the Arctic Monkeys? They you can really be as boring as Jo Whiley

 

[electrogirl]

It's alright Dave, I'm just wondering whether Dillinger should know about your fantasies.

 

[FabricLiveBaby!]

ageism innit

Yeah, cos Joe Whiley is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo good. And not at all boring as fuck.

 

[krtek a houby]

Oh god Ken. Why don't you just tell us how you discovered the Arctic Monkeys? They you can really be as boring as Jo Whiley

Surely it was Gordon Brown who discovered them?

 

[electrogirl]

Yeah, cos Joe Whiley is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo good. And not at all boring as fuck.

Did you know she discovered the Arctic Monkeys? And sliced bread.

 

[Sadken]

I imagine Jo Whiley as a latter day Hernan Cortes discovering these bands and forming relationships with their consorts.

 

[electrogirl]

She also hung out with John Peel backstage at 'glasto'.

"Well, when me and John were hanging out backstage at Glasto'"

He hated you you fucking cunt! He hated you! He wanted you dead! DEAD!

Well I know I did, I'm sure he agreed.

 

[stupid dogbot]

Well, hasn't this thread taken a turn for the... speculative.

 

[kained&able]

It's alright Dave, I'm just wondering whether Dillinger should know about your fantasies.

he would probabley love it.

 

[FabricLiveBaby!]

Did you know she discovered the Arctic Monkeys? And sliced bread.

Did she? Does she still like them? Are they still cool? If no probably not.

 

[electrogirl]

Did she? Does she still like them? Are they still cool? If no probably not.

Yeah she discovered the Arctic Monkeys. And Nirvana. And Elvis.

 

[electrogirl]

And the Arctic Monkeys.

 

[FabricLiveBaby!]

And Micheal Jackon?

 

[dodgepot]

she paedoed MJ when he was still singing rockin' robin

 

[FabricLiveBaby!]

she paedoed MJ when he was still singing rockin' robin

OMG! She's amazing.

I like her now.

 

[rollinder]

according to yesterday and today's show Edith Bowman thinks LL CoolJ and Ice Cube are the same person and can't tell the difference between Bananarama and Fun Boy Three

 

[tommers]

to be fair to her, even though she is really, really annoying and drones on and on and on and on about "fillums" Edith Bowman is like an irritating fly compared to the all-encompassing awfulness of Whiley.

Whiley at "glasto" makes me want to kill things.

Whiley talking to kate nash at "glasto" about falafel (OMG, they're so amazing! If you've never been to glasto before, it's like a really cool town in a field) actually did make me kill somebody.

and then, I saw this dragon, and I thought, I recognise that cos Lily wore it when I interviewed her and so I tapped her on the shoulder, and it was! it was lily allen! and her and the guy from arctic monkeys had been out having some really amazing experiences!

 

[internetstalker]

it's not because of their age - it's because they're unutterably annoying, self-centred, boring, irritating, fake chummy, patronising, name dropping fucking twats.

That said, Cotton for one is even worse.

Actually that's an interesting question... who's more of a twat, Cotton or Whiley?

fair point

 

[bmd]

You forgot the one about when Jo and the bloke from the Kaiser Chiefs were backstage at Glasto and he gave her a present for one of her kids. It's a fascinating story tbf, I just make it sound shit.

 

[magneze]

Who listens to Radio 1 anyway?

 

[Idaho]

Whiley is fundamentally annoying and unlistenable. However Fearne Cotton is an unspeakable div, with all the skill and intelligence of a can of vegtable soup. Every sentence is "I can't belieeeve we are really here in ... er.. Swindon. It's like the MOST amaaazing thing ever".

 

[magneze]

I've just realised that I'm currently streaming an Essential Mix from Radio 1 on mixcloud. So, the answer may in fact be "me" rather unwittingly.

 

[isitme]

i bet mary anne hobbes is older than edith bowman, and granny nightingale, and there's another one i think

Ferne Cotton will slowly morph into Jo Whiley. It's like an ouroboros.

 

[DotCommunist]

I know Jo Whileys mum.

 

[FabricLiveBaby!]

I know Jo Whileys mum.

Jo Whiley IS your mum

I can't listen to Mary Anne Hobbs and she plays the music I like the most. Her radio voice makes me want to stab her. Grannie Nightingale adds some kind of affectation to her voice at times too but it doesn't usually last very long so I can kind of bear her.

she talks like an idiot, but she plays good music. or she did last time i listened...

 

[tommers]

wait a minute. Nobody's mentioned Annie Mac yet.

Annie fucking Mac.

 

[bmd]

The music is spot on which is why I want to stab her when she starts talking as if she's moonlighting on a sex line.
