Reasons for hating them recently:
1) All the interviews with high-profile stars where they try to be really matey with them. It's a relief we don't have to see their "cheeky" faces.
2) Calling new talent Jem "Welsh totty". Boys, it's 2005.
3) One of them yesterday announcing the Interpol single had "the best introduction ever" when it consisted of: chord, different chord, pause, guy starts singing. Sounds like a classic to me.
4) The fact that they presented a show on Granada Men & Motors.
5) One explaining the new download chart, and the other "not understanding" him. I must have missed the comedy in that. Oh, wait - there wasn't any.
6) Their laughing faces on the Radio 1 website. Oh the hilarity.
They make me miss Wes...and that's saying something.

Ah, the Muppets of Manchester commercial radio and their rise, like so much scum, to the top of the tree.
They were fucking irritating when they did a shite show in Hull, they were even worse when they did a wacky *Who's going to present a show completely naked?! Oh, surprise - the thin one!* showdown on their shockingly bad Manchester show...
And now, just when they'd finished arsing the afternoon schedule up to the point where we're thinking of asking for Steve Wright back, they get given The Top 40.
I'm buying a digital radio and scratching Radio 1 out of its frequency range.

You've missed:
7. Having a UK Top 40 show where they don't fucking play the UK top 40.
The best part is where they still say "Radio 1, the only place to hear the Official Top 20 in full" in some vain hope we have the memories of goldfish and forget that a Top 40 show on Radio 1 used to exist.

I can't believe the countdown doesn't start till about 5.15pm. And they start off the show like it's just ANY SHOW, playing "the new one from Destiny's Child, out in 2 weeks" or whatever. Who the fuck cares? When I was younger it used to be the most exciting radio moment of my week. Though the decline in quality is down to more than JK and Joel - the global information age makes the chart predictable, and nothing climbs any more - which it still did used to in 1996, when I started listening - I just can't imagine it is exciting listening for current "youngsters". JK+J are really REALLY annoying.  "Radio 1 is officially playing Shakin' Stevens." Ooh, how ironic and post-modern, boys. How the fuck could you unofficially play a record? They're so ch avvy and laddish - bet they use the word "legend(ary)" at least ten times a day. Bring back Mark Goodier. |

I remember the days when I was a young whippersnapper and the only "illegal downloading" that went on was taping your favourite songs off the radio. But that was such a poor substitute (with the DJ talking at the start/end) that you still bought the CD/cassette in the end. JK & Joel are so crap, but so are all other DJs on Radio 1 anyway. Even the Doctor Fox Pepsi chart was better than this shite. |

was stuck in a car 'with them' yesterday, whilst the talked non-stop about their 'fight'
where JK actually kicked Joel *gasp*
They loved talking about it, maybe this hides
a lot of secret feelings.

I too stumbled across their god-awful show yesterday, just in time to hear them prattling on about "O M G Crazy Frog is NUMBER 1 again!!! L O L!!! Who keeps buying it!!!11!!!"
This would have sounded sincere, were it not for the fact that JK and Joel are EXACTLY the sort of wankers who have bought the single, the ringtone and will no doubt be camping outside their local Woolworths to snap up the first copy of the album.
Ah well, I suppose it's all good research for when they appear on 'I Love 2005' to talk about how rubbish and annoying 'Crazy Frog' was.
Bet they've downloaded that fucking dragon too.

I hate anyone who is full of self-professed 'wackiness'.
They do the chart show, yet don't play the chart.
They have 'witty banter' (one story was how one of them HILARIOUSLY! mis-pronounced the Interpol single 'c'mere' when phoning the record company!!!)
They also feature 'top celebrity guests' - on Sunday they were chatting to Orlando Bloom (who must have brought an album out on the sly?) and they started talking to him about football - because we all know that being proper lads, all they want to talk about is cars, birds, football, and how crap pop is and how cool anything with a guitar is.
I hate them like never before. I hope someone sews them together, ties them to the roofrack of a Renault Megane and then catapults it into the sun.
Huge canutes. Local radio, take them back where they belong. 'Drivetime'

They dubbed some guy as "the new James Blunt". I hate when people do this. James Blunt has been in the public eye for a couple of months at the most. How anyone can be "the new James Blunt" is ridiculous. Shut up, you stupid men.
