Well in a few months we won't have to listen to the old band wagon jumping bat again as she's also been shown the door, don't believe me? Then just wait and see. Bowman is replacing her and I can't wait because the Madonna wannabe and Foo Fighters ass kisser will be gone!

- She takes herself much too seriously.

- The arse kissing of guests is just unreal.

- Knows nothing about music so sits on every band wagon going reading her copy of NME along with their entire editorial team.

- Her pathetic feature 'Changing Tracks' is the biggest pile of bull I have ever heard. So she reads out some chaps story of how his wife left him for another woman, his dad turned out to be gay, he was fired from his job, became a smack addict and started questiong whether Star Wars was true. His midlife crisis eventually reaches the stage where he's about to commit suicide by covering himself in jam and standing in a bee hive when he slammed on the radio airing a song which changed his life. What could this song be? Something surely relevant, deep and emotional enough to save him from this terrible act to change his life around. Just what could it be?

That time of the day people want to listen to music whilst they are working, and they probably want to hear new music and their favourite acts in the Live Lounge.

Compared to some presenters she's not that bad. I'd rather listen to Jo Whiley than Colin and Edith any day. She's not great, but she's certainly not bad.

There are many songs this last year that have become favorites of mine that I have yet to hear on any other daytime show.

Hit the nail on the head, I've been saying the same for ages. Don't forget the fact that her Pet Sound is always the song from the latest iPod/Citroen advert.

Right then...

Dimon Trowel wrote:- She takes herself much too seriously.

She's a woman and she's not trying to do a comedy show. That slot has always been a fairly down to earth slot.

Dimon Trowel wrote:- The arse kissing of guests is just unreal.

If I met Dave Grohl, I'd be kissing his arse too. Moyles hasn't exactly done any ground-breaking interviews and the Drew Barrymore one well...

Dimon Trowel wrote:- Knows nothing about music so sits on every band wagon going reading her copy of NME along with their entire editorial team.

This I have to take exception with, she co-presented the Evening Session with Lurpak for 4 years during the glory days of Britpop, is an ardent fan of live music and the NME has approaced her on numerous occasions to write pieces for them. Thanks to a little internet digging I've also found out she used to be a producer on The Word and was instrumental in giving early british exposre to bands such as Nirvana and R.A.T.M.

This has always been a feature on Radio1 for as long as I can remember under the guise of many different names, Simon Bates "Our Tune" being the most obvious...however it really is a load of crap.

I kinda like Changing Tracks.. because sometimes the song just fits perfectly.. Or maybe I'm a tad cheesy?

Nah it's all guff. Most of it is either made up by the team or sent in by people at school with nothing better to do. The songs are always crap too I mean "I've had the time of my life" honestly, who wants to listen to that dirge.

I do too, but often it doesn't. I might write in with my own changing track song. I will give £100 to anyone who guesses what it is.
