I certainly do not want to listen to someone who says things like "most maddest." Sounds like the sort of person who'd willingly dress up as a member of Atomic Kitten for Radio 1 roadshows and play "Oh Happy Day" if the Tories win the next election.

Whatever happened to Tom Russell (this will only make sense to long-term Glasgow posters) who was the Scottish Tommy Vance only deeper-voiced and more mentalist.

I *don't* expect him to slag off things in the chart, but on the contrary to praise them; the effect will be of perversity and people saying "the funny thing is, he really likes all those 'pop' records". He's been going on about how grate Kylie Minogue is for years. Meanwhile, between this and the rubbish on his own programme, he has no time for things I actually like. The thing you really can't imagine him presenting favourably is not, say, Atomic Kitten, but Bruce Springsteen.
That's how I dislike Peel. But I don't *only* dislike him - I like him too.

the other glasgow rock band who always turned up on the tom russell radio clyde rooooock shooooooo were SCHEME (so named 'cos they came from a housing scheme; sang abt reality, everyone else in glasgow hated them - wonder if they're still going? they were all about 50 years old back in the '80s, if i remember rightly).

according to the Xmas Radio Times it'll be Sara Cox on Sunday, then Nemone for the post-Christmas "lots of songs going back up and nothing going down more than three places" chart on December 29th.
