The NEW Central West and BBC Midlands thread

Had to laugh at Mollie this morning.

She mentioned a dream she had involving being married to George Alagiah & having his babies!

She's never 'right' is she?

Apparantley she's subbing for Les again next week, according to Les's show today!

You can become a 'fan' of BBC Midlands Today on facebook now. Take a look. Seems they were inspired by the so called saviour of BBC Radio 1, Chris Moyles and his fan page for The Chris Moyles Show.

I can hardly contain my indifference

Did they create it or a viewer? Can't think who though...

Hmm, nice idea. I wonder how long it'll be until it goes the same way Nick's myspace blog did . . .

Adrian Goldberg was on talkSPORT this morning covering for Ian Collins between 1-6am, telling us how clampers are the scum of the earth. No doubt he'd like a slot on the new Talk Radio station launching later this year on DAB.

I've not watched Midlands Today for a while, but are the presenters names still given at the start of the 6? In which case, was it tonight "Nick Owen and Nick Owen"?

Haha unfortunately not. It was just the usual one-size-fits-all announcement, "This is BBC One in the Midlands. Now the news at six o'clock, followed in half an hour by Midlands Today with Nick Owen".

This is the first time I've seen Nick Owen (MT) do the headlines at 6pm and 6.15 on a bulletin where Nicholas Owen is presenting. It always seems to have been Suzanne in the past.

Adrian Goldberg had some very bad reviews on his overnight stint on TS, apparantly someone wanted to talk about the news story of the suicides of some youngsters and he just said 'No we are talking about so so and football". I did listen for all of 2 minutes between 5 and 6am.. he read out the number at least 4 or 5 times and did some waffling on.... and took one call at 5.45am.. then the travel.. adverts and the end was a welcome sight... he was truly truly awful, and the accent didnt help.

Back to that poor excuse for an online newspaper then Goldberg.....

Quick plug for next week's 'Inside Out'.

One of the items is Flupton's 'Who Do You Think You Are' on a budget!

Anyone see this week's?

Imagine being 'surprised' by Pete Waterman at New Street !

Surprised Les Ross wasn't interviewed, seeing they had Janice Long on?

In fairness the texter was slagging him off for not talking about it hardly the same thing! He does sound like Jon Gaunt mark 2.

Well hopefully they wont bring him back, he was trully awful
