Interesting to note that RA opened his daily show on BFBS Radio 2 today with the Amy Winehouse song Rehab to acknowledge her success at the music awards last night.

Would be interested to learn what the opening song that were presented/played by the "3 Lions" on their BBC Radio 2 shows earlier today- ie Messrs Wogan, Bruce and Ms Kennedy.

As I can't stand these 3 dinosaurs did the 3 of them acknowledge in their shows today, in any way, her success last night at all.

Aled played Man In Motion (St Elmo's Fire), presumably in honour of Dickie as he drives from job to job across London Wink

Ernie-Richard has just one job currently on weekdays-working for BFBS Radio 2.

Still Man in Motion (St Elmos Fire) is a great song-have it on my iPod-love it.

Good work Aled if he spun this tune.

Sarah started off with Two Hearts. I cant think of any Allinson related inference in that song!! Shocked

Terry started off with "Perfect" by Fairground Attraction, so no link there either. Razz

He played the dreadful "Rehab" later followed by "Radio Nowhere" Wink

Aled also had a pretty decent live session by The Feeling. How many live sessions does Richard A do on BFBS?

I very much doubt BFBS could afford live sessions. BFBS is a station where you would only come across if you were looking for it. Radio 2 is a National well known station. I know Mark M enjoys listening too Richard A and I do when he's on Radio 2 and have listened to him on Capital when he was there.

One thing I'm getting rather tired of is Mark M keep on slagging down certain broadcasters on Radio 2 who he doesn't listen too. He does have his own opinion and should keep them to himself unless he tunes in. It's getting rather rude. I don't think Richard Allinson would like to read his comments about his colleagues. Thanks Mark M

Mark O-Since when were you put in charge of these boards.

I take exception to your 2nd paragraph. Mad

This is a message board operated on freedom of speech principles. I have broken no rules or had any warnings re any of my posts on here.

I like lots of Radio 2 output but I dislike some of the shows/presenters as well. I am entitled to my point of view and provided I keep within the rules I will continue to post. The board is healthier if we have different Points Of View/Opinions. If everybody loved everything about Radio 2 then people would soon find this place boring.

Rant over.

By the way BFBS Radio 2 does NOT have live sessions-it's not the sort of Radio station set up for this.
