iain10101 Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 I have been drawn to listening to The Chris and dave comic relief special on Radio 1. What a feat! Raised over £1.1m in less than 2 days from the listeners. Respect to the team and good luck with the World Record attempt! I have laughed so much and have listened non stop, when im awake, James Cordon on now and soooooooooooooo funny! Just goes to show that money can be made to help people in need! I hope that something gets done to help the Japaneese and in the same way making some huge amounts of money to help the families that have lost everything. Cruel world!

Chesterfield Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 not everyone likes Chris Moyles, but generating over £1m for comic relief by doing this is something to be admired. Fair play if they get a world record at the same time, hopefully the money raised will save some lives around the world - Ive donated to it.

slimjim Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Think you need to change the title of this to "New torture method being introduced by MI6" I seriously can't think of anything WORSE than listening to some fat, uncouth, unfunny, boring imbicile and his paid sycophants sucking up to his every pointless benign word.

shire350Z Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Yeah got to admire a 52 hour stint without sleep whether you like the guy or not personally I really like him and radio one but I'm not that another update in ten mins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slimjim Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Kinda like admiring Hitler for his organisation skills... But I see what you mean about raising cash for Comic Relief, a great cause. I don't understand what it has to do with comedy though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shire350Z Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 1,223,836 new total that's awesome going for 1.5 now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris`I Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 I don't understand what it has to do with comedy though! You obviously havent heard it then - there have been some stupidly funny moments. I'm amazed he's still going, although he does look like he's lagging now for the first time since the start. The annoying thing for me, is athough they'll raise like £1.5m, they are meant to have what 7m listeners on the breakfast show alone. How many people out there listen and dont text in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabbitstew Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Have to say im not a Chris Moyles fan at all. But have listened to some of this and there have been some really funny bits. And to raise that sort of money in such a short time is incredible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evest Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 The annoying thing for me, is athough they'll raise like £1.5m, they are meant to have what 7m listeners on the breakfast show alone. How many people out there listen and dont text in 7m tune in to listen to try and guess which celebrity is blowing a raspberry. I'm so proud to be British...! However, good job on raising the money, thats important, and whatever I might think about the content, if it gets cash to good causes then fair play. Personally I can take or leave Radio 1, so not a fan as such. I guess every now and then, on the way to work, I don't mind a bit of mindless, purile, childish banter to take my mind off things. Other times I feel like I've definitely grown out it (and I'm only 30!). That said, it beats Singal One where I live, playing the same... effing... playlist... every... effing... morning....zzzzz....

Chris`I Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 I think the problem a lot of people dont get with Moyles is you have to listen every day. I dont think I could just tune in one day and get it. Having listened to him for years, theres a lot of in jokes and they carry themes from one day to the next.

Chris`I Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Anyone got a pic of the swimsuit moment or was that a lie? The website crashed Crazy how much the total climbed this morning.

Ricey Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 I used to hate Moyles but I've grown to like him after listening fairly regularly.......better than listening to 10 minutes of adverts out of every 15 minutes on Radio City! Just to make a point - anyone in the northwest will now what I mean (without any googling) ; John Leach can be contacted at the Widnes Car Centre on 0151 420 2000, 420 2000 You can call the Mortgage Point on 708 0 808 For injury claims you can call Paul now on 0151 36 36 36 Marketing at its best that is....literally pound people with numbers until they are seared into your psyche! Good on your Moyles and Dave......2.5 mil is a pretty impressive number Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
