What a load of dingoes’ kidneys. It’s one of the most important jobs in radio, the BBC are not going to hire anybody unless they believe that person to be up to it.

Does the BBC give males any work other than security?

Careful, your obnoxious, chip-on-shoulder unpleasantness is showing.

It suits me to have female voices on the BBC simply because I have difficulty hearing, I have hearing aids on both ears, their voices are generally at a slightly higher frequency and much easier for me to hear clearly.

Even so that they're easier for me to hear, what's wrong with females taking jobs at the BBC, good luck to them.

PS three cheers that obnoxious bloke Chris Evans is leaving radio 2 good riddance.

You do know how ridiculous that reads dont you?

I could post a list of males who work for the BBC, not in security, but there is neither the time nor the will, but for starters:

David Dimbleby, Gary Linekar, Simon McCoy, Ben Thompson, half the cast of Strictly, more than half the pundits on MOTD.... OH whats the point. You, me, every poster and their dogs know that your statement is bollocking bollocks.

I think that every poster apart from you knows that my post was a wind up.

I love the sound of crashing gears as you try desperately to backtrack.

Yes. Plenty.However you said your post was a wind up and everyone except Trent could see that. Add me ippy and I to Trent's observation.

Yes! I can't put my finger on why but cannot stand him, not often I say that about anyone.

What's the point of a wind-up that bears no relation to the truth? It just makes you look a plonker.

Yes me too, I have heard that he's very good to all of his closest family and his friends, I still wont put my on Radio 2 on until after 0930 in the morning, there's no logic or rational to my action.
