YES!!!!!!!!!

Yes indeed it's most excellent news.  I myself an so ecstatic about the demise of one more patronising pre-teen targeted boy band that I am on the verge of tears of joy.

However, there is one thing which would make my day perfect.

That would be to see the those responsible for pedalling the current deluge of boy/girl/annoying "acts" to publically apologise on the six o'clock news for the misery they've brought before commiting ritual Hari Kari in front of the world's press out of shame.

Their final act of remorse, while they're writhing in agony begging to be decapitated to ease the suffering would be to invite Westlife/So Solid Crew/Dizzy Rascal/Missy Elliott (own personal pet hate) to join them.

I hate to sound so vitriolic, but are there any rational adults out there who disagree with me?

Clearly then, no rational adults do disagree with me.  Messrs Fuller, Waterman, Cowell et al the public awaits your apology and subesquent suicide with barely contained anticipation.

@Wilse,

Yeah, I see your point but I have two words for you:

Rick Astley

Not forgetting that although everyone coos over Kylie now like she's the be all and end all, it was Pete Waterman who got her belting out "I should be so lucky" wearing some truly atrocious bubble perms.

Plus he's partly responsible for this God awful Pap Idol etc phenomena where ordinary people humiliate themselves on TV for the voyeuristic gratification of others.

Zudo, you're so right...

It's 08:05am and I get into my car for the drive to work. Radio on...  Press "1" for Radio 1:

And I get Chris Moyles being funny by taking the p#ss out of someone else (but better than Sara Cox making willy/poo/boobies jokes the whole time) followed by Blue or some "Urban" guy trying to sound all "West Coast" even though his name's Gavin and he's from Chalfont St Giles innit?  It's like having diahorrea without the exciting bits.

Okay, press "2".  Dream FM, a local station...  Oh no.

"She's an easy-y lo-ver.." Agh!  They might as well name it Phil Collins FM.  And why the f@@@ have they just followed that up with Rick Astley?

Press 3, SGR FM

"...And you too can visit Tortoise World for your choice in lumbering lettuce loving reptile.  Fun for all the family..." This is then followed by Westlife, which Mavis of Elmstead Market has requested because she thinks they're "great".  But she's nine.  And this is then followed by Dizzy Rascal.

Press 4, Vibe FM

"...I'm still Jenny from the block" Agh!  J-Lo! I cannot stand J Lo.  I'd rather eat my own hand than have to listen to her.  It doesn't get much better when Girls Aloud start up...  God, I'd kill to hear something original.

Press 5, Radio 2

Now were talking...  Some semblance of wit and satire on the radio rather than some inane idiot getting a laugh from "the thing about double decker buses is that they're crap".  However, they've gone and ruined it by playing Country and Western!

My window is down and everyone's looking at me like I'm a freak.  Indeed I must be for I loathe C&W almost as much as I loathe J Lo.  There's GOT to be something more listenable...

Press 6

"Get the freak on....." Aaaaaggggghhhhhhh!  NO!

The one person more annoying than J Lo (well, currently being played anyway ex Spice Girls don't count).

So I switch on the CD player and make do with The Best of the Doors, Dirty Vegas, my varied collection of early 90s house and Moby once again instead.

@Doobrey

:lol:

Yeah, I've listened to BBC Radio Suffolk a few times and got scared.

Problem is that with the exception of Radio 2, Vibe FM and Dream FM all the other stations do that annoying Pepsi chart thing, playing the same chart songs on a Sunday for three hours, or playing the rest during the week.  

Vibe now do their Urban chart on a Sunday, and Urban is a music genre which I even file below Country and Western in my list of pet hates.

Dream FM do a Country slot on a Sunday eve and Radio 2 is barely listenable either.  

Sunday evenings are great for listening to CDs as there's naff all on television either.

@Karlos

You have a point...  A conspiracy methinks?  I've never seen Rick Astley and Kylie in the same photo.  Maybe they're the same person...  Could be worth digging the Rickster out of retirement to duet with Ms Minogue

Reminds me of a conversation "back in the day" (circa 1989) with several friends, all "ravers" (ie dressed in baggy Pepe jeans, paisley hooded tops etc).

"I only ever listen to real, hardcore rave"

"What's in your walkman then?"

"Black Box".

:lol:
