Is that the lifestyle you enjoy, Kentpaul?

[Monkeylord]

Today is a real Friday... I'm SURE of it!

[Suairyu]

Today is a real Friday... I'm SURE of it!

Lauren Laverne is on 6Music and she's on a bit of a funk/soul kick today. It absolutely is a real Friday to me :)

On that note, if people are fans of the radio what are everyone's favourites?

6Music is generally a good choice no matter the day.

Zane Lowe on BBC1 also really does it for me.

Basically anything where the DJ knows their music and doesn't just play solely mainstream stuff.

Oh, and BBC Four for the afternoon play. Because secretly I'm an elderly woman at heart.

BBC Radio 4 in the daytime because daytime music radio is shit and then Annie Mac, Nick Grimshaw, Mistajam, Annie Nightingale or Skream and Benga on Radio 1.

[Suairyu]

daytime music radio is shit

Seriously. 6Music. It was a revelation to me.

[Nevasleep]

Kisstory (History) on Kiss101(South Wales and Bristol) - an hour of old school dance and RnB, fantastic.
Just started, playing 'Garage Girls', and now 'billy jean'.

Zane Lowe on Radio 1, met him once too.

Absolute 80s DAB station.

[daviyoung]

Seriously. 6Music. It was a revelation to me.

Yep. 6music is excellent, shame it's only on DAB.

Radio 1 on a friday night/saturday morning is good, will usually listen to those shows throughout the week on iplayer

otherwise its 6music.

I only really listen to the radio in my car

[RibbedHero]

33% But if this is the method actually used in citizenship tests then we're letting in a bunch of nobheads. Absolutely no practical questions in there at all, such as "how many pints must you have consumed before a donner kebab becomes tasty?"

Trick question, the answer is 0 pints.

[Suairyu]

Trick question, the answer is 0 pints.

You have awful taste. Donner kebabs are the best thing in the world but only if you're drunk.

I only really listen to the radio in my car

I used to be similar, but I started to realise that I value musical variety so I rarely listen to my own music anymore, unless a particular album or track has gotten stuck in my head or I'm in a very specific mood.

[Psychotext]

You have awful taste. Donner kebabs are the best thing in the world but only if you're drunk.

You've been buying them from the wrong places. Kebab houses do exist that are capable of creating doner kebabs which are awesome when sober too. :D

[daviyoung]

Daytime radio vs daytime TV. Both are on the same level of atrociousness, just slightly different.

Fearne Cotton is a clown.

[Suairyu]

In other news, lalalala, Britain is smart, lalalala.

Daytime radio vs daytime TV. Both are on the same level of atrociousness, just slightly different.

6. Music.

Fuck you Jeremy Kyle is amazing.

Fearne Cotton is a clown.

But this I slightly agree with. Don't like her style much at all.

You've been buying them from the wrong places. Kebab houses do exist that are capable of creating doner kebabs which are awesome when sober too. :D

Oh no doubt, but you all knew exactly what I was referring to.

[daviyoung]

6. Music. Fuck you Jeremy Kyle is amazing.

Bah, 6Music isn't terrestrial.

Jeremy Kyle is not amazing. Saying that, and giving him views does not support your ironic enjoyment of the show. ITV has no sense of irony. You're part of the problem.

[Meadows]

For the record I do actually quite like Greg James and Scott Mills but the music that they get told to play is normally chart shite. But they are still very funny.

[Suairyu]

There's no irony in my enjoyment of Jeremy Kyle. I just like seeing people that make me feel better about myself. Also his Christmas specials make me cry.

[daviyoung]

Opposite for me. Seeing those people depresses the hell out of me.

[Suairyu]

You need to distance yourself from your subjects more. Learn to judge people based off first impressions. See nothing but their flaws and laugh at them.

[daviyoung]

Their whole existence is a flaw. That's not funny.

[Hot Coldman]

Jeremy Kyle is the opposite of entertainment.

[SmokyDave]

My problem with Jeremy Kyle is that, A; the 'guests' aren't dragged outside and shot afterwards, and B; I don't think the program makes anything better, it just glorifies dysfunction.

It depresses me. It's a constant reminder of how fucked up and hopeless our underclass are. We need to fix these people, not give them a freak-show to perform on.

[RibbedHero]

If you don't want to eat this



right now (hopefully sober) then you're crazy.

[daviyoung]

I've never known a British kebabery to make a decent doner wrap. The salad in most is horribly plain, the meat is bad and the tortilla bread is seen as a delicacy compared to the standard pita. You average Brit kebab shop is good for drunken gorges only.

Belgian and Dutch doner wraps are proper, a huge selection of salad and sauces and really nice tender meat.

[Psychotext]

I prefer mine in a flatbread / naan. Delicious. :)

[Kentpaul]

Wrong tune chap. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8UGtl...layer_embedded Aw yeah, it's FRIDAY!

that is a tune dave, never heard it before.

Not really. But i do enjoy feeling great.

That's the point of the aftercare thing they do (which is in part what covers their backs, legally). There's counselling and stuff after the cameras stop rolling. I'm not going to make any claims as to how successfully this changes situations, but it's there.

If you don't want to eat this right now (hopefully sober) then you're crazy.

I'm seeing an all-green salad (and not prime bits of lettuce, by the looks of things) in some form of sauce wrapped in a wholewheat tortilla. Why should I be especially craving that thing?

[Meadows]

Not really. But i do enjoy feeling great.

AND MAKING MAD STACKS

fuck yeah Kentpaul

[SmokyDave]

that is a tune dave, never heard it before. The best streets track is.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Z1kRhiPE0E

I can't pick a favourite, but it would be a track from 'Original Pirate Material'. It's probably in my top 10 favourite albums. Maybe 'Turn The Page'.

If you find 45 minutes to spare, listen to this album:



The Prodigy Present: The Dirt Chamber Sessions (Vol 1). It's a mix of about 50-60 tunes that Liam Howlett (of The Prodigy) feels influenced his music. It's just a fucking killer mix and easily my favourite album of all time. Blaze up, give it a spin, see what you think.

[BGBW]

On that note, if people are fans of the radio what are everyone's favourites?

The only bit of radio I usually listen to is Radio 6 as my alarm clock. I listen to it more for Shaun Keaveny banter than the music they play which, in my opinion, is usually forgettable guff.

[Kentpaul]

AND MAKING MAD STACKS fuck yeah Kentpaul

around 430 sitting in my BANK right now. I aint a saver at all! its fresh in today and im already 30 down for that weed i got yesterday lmfao

BRO FIST.

Lets all get drunk and eat kebabs together.

CATCH A WIFF OF MY FINGA'S AND YOU CAN STILL SMELL SUZY

Sorry about my excitment fella's iv just got that friday feeling a 21 year old lad like my self gets

This duck's off to Spotify... not often I can be dragged away from Laverne but this sounds so fucking good.

edit - damn barely a track in and already it's super delicious.

i agree with this. don't really care if you're watching it ironically but the fact that this show exists and that people are desperate/stupid enough to make their issuses public for publicity is depressing.

[Meadows]

yeah basically

plus they watch it in New Zealand and Australia too you know? It's a massive hit there, one can only imagine how bad it is for our national reputation

I love watching the poverty porn.

anyone catch the scottish the scheme programme, people shooting up and taking blues

[SmokyDave]

This duck's off to Spotify... not often I can be dragged away from Laverne but this sounds so fucking good.

Good man. It really is a great showcase for the immense talents of Mr Howlett. There's one 45-60 second burst in the middle of the album that follows the sample 'Let me give you an example of how a DJ works:' and it causes me to utterly lose my shit. The guy is a genius.

[Suairyu]

If you want to feel less depressed there's always Jeremy Kyle USA which has gun shootings and stuffs. It's also really interesting from a sociological point of view how different the show is tonally, from the intro music, to Jeremy's mannerisms and even the way the set is dressed.

Also, can I put in the argument that Spotify is the biggest legal change to music consumption ever? I never really felt the impact everyone claims iTunes and mp3 purchasing had - people still bought CDs. But "listen to what you want whenever" is huge.

[Chinner]

i suppose the set is way more fancy and extravagant? its like how their version of deal or no deal have models holding the boxes with fancy sound affects and shit.

6 Music all the way. I've had the biggest crush on Lauren Laverne since Kenickie. She is a total babe with excellent taste in music and a hot, slightly naughty accent. Which is pretty much all I ever wanted in a woman.

Yeah the British style isn't to really dress shit up that much - we just tend to throw it out there. There was that brief period where everything like news channels had to be this over-dramatic affair but Brass Eye very quickly put a stop to that.

Everything has to be such a production in the States, though.

I discovered here (and most of Britpop, really) thanks to the comic Phonogram. Even if her accent has become slightly more BBC-friendly as time has gone by, it's still recognisable. Love it.

How about practical questions on the citizenship test such as:

- Does witchcraft exist Y/N?

to really weed out the bad ones?

[Suairyu]

That's what's called religious discimination, chief.

Wiccan and the like are no more barmy than any other religion. I masturbate to Dawkin's books and roll my eyes at religious people but I'd never say to someone "you can't believe that".

[Kentpaul]

If you don't want to eat this right now (hopefully sober) then you're crazy.

chips look overcooked and i ain't seen a kabab wrapped that good since i was last in turkey.

[Suairyu]

Man you have no idea how disappointed I was by Turkish cuisine. Exciting things like having their stews cooked in clay pots which they break open right in front of you and it all smelt delicious but in the end it all tasted so bland.

I made a real point of going to as many different restaurants in different locations, too.

But there was this one place which just cooked by smoke grill fish they'd freshly caught that day and it was delicious. Best fish I've ever had. I wouldn't have called it specifically-Turkish cuisine, though. Just good old-fashioned decent cooking.

And their cakes are horrific. It's like they don't use sugar so there's no sweetness to anything.

Sounds like bad news for my proposed question:

"Using the space below, please portray the Prophet Mohammed".

Bloody discrimination against discrimination, it's political correctness gone mad.

[Suairyu]

Actually that'd be a damn good question, so long as people of the Islamic faith had the option of ticking a box that says "My religion forbids me from drawing this image, so I won't, but anyone who isn't Islamic is free to draw what they please so long as they aren't an insufferable dickhead about it."

With a little bit of fine print underneath that said "The British government supports your right to draw or not draw an image of the prophet Mohammed as per your beliefs or lack thereof, just don't be an insufferable dickhead about it."

edit - Oh damn Dave I just got to the bit in Track 4 where they go "kick it!" and that bit from the Matrix lobby fight comes in and it's fucking delicious.

[Meadows]

what happened to Nib by the way?

[Musha_Soturi]

On that note, if people are fans of the radio what are everyone's favourites?

Absolute radio in the morning, The OC is hilarious.

Any other time radio 4, or if I'm in my car Classic FM, the only things that sedates my road rage.

Just like to point out that the witchcraft Bo-Locks is referring to which was in the news recently is Kindoki, which is actually linked to fundamentalist Christian churches in West Africa, and has nothing to to with Wicca, which is a completely separate pagan path.

Just saying.
