Chris Moyles Show

Long time no....write. I know. I've made myself extra holiday recently and went with my sister and niece to Spain:) Then, it took me some time to come back to reality and sort out my professional life. But here I am, ready to blog on ;)... so what do I do this morning? I turn on my computer, as usual, sip my coffee, as usual, do the usual round of my fav sites and head straight for bbc radio 1 to listen to the "old chap" Chris Moyles, and....surprise surprise! Instead od Moyles's breakfast show I hear some...Nick ...something (forgive me my ignorance Mr Nick). So I do some research and come across this headline:

Chris Moyles says goodbye to Radio 1 breakfast show

...and my mornings will never be the same...;)

To be honest, I've never been a devoted fan of the show but since my old friend recommended it to me maaaany years ago, I've got used to it so much that every now and then, especially when I wanted to have a good laugh, I turned to this guy as my last rescue. Sometimes I didn't even get his jokes (blaming it on cultural differences) or prefered  not to get it coz mostly they were politically incorrect and made my eyes get rounder and bigger and my jaw drop. However, he had MILLIONS of listeners (7.9 at its peak) and well, like it or not, I was one of them and in a quirky way I liked it. 

What's more, I thought this show was eternal....like grass. 

I've realized I am one of these people who appreciate things only when they lose it. And I simply took it for granted.

It was said in the article: " At 38, Moyles has also been criticised for being too old for Radio 1, which is currently struggling to attract a younger audience.

His replacement is 10 years younger.."

As far as I can judge, men in their 30s and 40s are in the prime of life, but what can I know, right? Still, bbc radio 1 shame on you, SHAME!

I know I'm being oddly sentimental... but who cares.

Below, the last 5 minutes of the very last show:

For those who got interested, go here and here... and a lot more that you can find in the web.

And one more thing - THANK YOU for being my window to the other side of Englishness Mr Moyles ;)
