I'm really enjoying listening to Alex. Far more unpredictable than Ken. Terry and Alex had a very good exchange today

Paraphrase:

Terry "anyone seen Alex Lester, he's on next you know"

Then he played Big Bopper and joked "Ah, here he is another Big Bopper and with a pony tail"

Laughing Cool

While I have been enjoying Alex, he was very very "Smashy & Nicey" during Popmaster. Give me Ken anytime.

Actually, I can just imagine him putting BTO on afterwards and saying "Let's Rock....!" Smile

Reading the previous posts I think Alex 'on fire', sounds like an improvement. Anyway I don't think Listen Again is an attractive alternative to my iPod.

Today's Popmaster was somewhat bizzare - husband and wife against each other. Cool
I think Alex was not sure if they were having him on.

Yeah it was a little odd having a couple....Highlander, Very Happy but fun .....

it was a real love fest yesterday....... I missed the last hour though ....... it's quite annoying when work gets in the way of listening to Alex.

Yes, the Odd Couple Cool

Anyway, back to "normal" today. He has grown on me. I'm too much of an Owl rather than an Early bird to here him through the night.

Oh it's nothing dodgy.. Smile


I record the show onto my MP3 player at home , direct off-air... the only problem with that is I have to start recording when I go to bed at 9:30/22:00 ish and stop at 06:00 so the file is 8.5 hrs long .... even with a FF speed of x32 it takes a wee while to get to the start of the show....and it's REALLY frustrating if I accidently press stop rather than pause, when I have to leave my desk for a while....

That's real dedication that is ............. you can't buy that ... Smile

Alex has a house in Hastings, so he must have stayed there Wednesday night. It should be an easy journey by train,about an hour and a half and much faster than driving to London. I noticed because he mentioned the delay to the service due to derailment, which was also mentioned on my local radio travel news.
