+1 on Nick Grimshaw

How can such an inconsequential individual be sorry irritating. I have never listened to him for more than 5 seconds at a time (channel hopping)
It's a lot easier to sing karaoke than to sing opera

Radio One axed loudmouth DJ Chris Moyles for him. It was believed that Nick GRIMshaw would appeal to a younger audience. He runs about with Harry Styles from 1D so his 'in' celebrity appeals to the young impressionable teens. He also has a show on BBC3 called something like 'Sweat the Small Stuff'. I have never seen it but by the sounds of his own personal review of it on the radio it sounds just thrilling.

Radio One be's on in our office. I am the second youngest in here. The other's I mock saying that they are trying to hold on to their youth.

Radio One in general kind of grinds my gears- same 8/10 songs over and over. I hear 4 different DJ's during the day:
Nick The Bell-end
Fearne 'I like you on Juice but you blow on radio' Cotton
Scott Mills & then Greg James. But of which I can listen to.

All four stick to the same songs throughout the day.

Have said it before and will say it again.  People foostering around with laser cards at the till to pay for small purchases.
Also anyone who buys drink at a pub with a laser card.

Oh and being unable to read a paper without half of it being about Love/Hate.

Habitual present tense. Exists in Gaeilge (bíonn sé, mar shampla), but absent from the English language, so this is an attempt to compensate for that absence (the errant apostrophe notwithstanding), more often rendered as 'does be' perhaps.  :P ;)

Thank you for the succinct explanation. I really wish I had learned my grammar better.

I have heard 'does be' and 'do be' alright but never '<something> be's'.

Apologies for my bad spelling and grammar. I have brought great shame to my Queen and her language.

Unfortunately, that's what happens when you listen to Radio One on a regular basis. It sucks the intelligent life out of it's listeners.
That was never a square ball!!
