Chris Moyles and Jordan

[ThomCat]

Did he really say something about his listeners having a harder schedult than Jordans when she was 15 minutes late for her interview with him? Apparently she was having to deal with Harvey before she left and he was really rude about it on air and dropped the interview on air but didn't spoeak to her.

Is that right?

[oliveoil]

sadly it wouldn't surprise me

[PenelopePitstops]

I heard him on the radio that morning and apparently she was half an hour late and he wouldnt see her because its her job and whether or not she has children etc her job is to be there at 8 if she wants the publiscity. I can see his point and he did not mention anything about Harvey ebing ill at the time.

He was rude about her but on a point of principle way and why should she be treated any differently to other celebs with kids who turn up to interviews on time.

[PenelopePitstops]

Im not sticking u for chris moyles by the way but i dont think his argument was based around harvey or associated with him, it was his problem with jordan.

He was being harsh but she is a working mother and most working mothers specail needs or not cannot swan in half an hour late to work.

[oliveoil]

er, is her dh not in hospital still though?

(have no idea)

man is a buffoon

[oliveoil]

I could swan into work late, no problem

with a valid excuse

[PenelopePitstops]

peter is out of hospital now but not 100%

man is a baffoon you are right there!

[ThomCat]

He's a fat tosser. He should walk in her shoes for a day before saying stuff on air about her imo. How unprofessional of him. People are late sometimes, it's life. And if her son needed hi mum and she'd left him for publicity on Chris Moyles show she'd get the slagging off of her life. You waiut till you have kids My Moyles and I hope none of them require specialist help the way Harvey does.

I just emailed him!

"He was being harsh but she is a working mother and most working mothers specail needs or not cannot swan in half an hour late to work."

Which is exactly why so many mothers of children with complex SN have a real problem working. Lets face it Harvey's needs are complex- I wouldn't want to be dealing with it. I would have thought that something like the CM show could be flexible - if they wanted to be. I'm applying for jobs now and make it clear that I can only work flexibly- I'll get the work done but cannot guarantee that I will be at my desk my 9am everyday. I would imagine that someone interviewing Jordan would understand the issues she has in her life.

CM is an absolute idiot of a man. He would never understand how a personal emergency might hold someone up. I used to listen to him, but turned over as his self obsession etc was grating beyond belief.

[PenelopePitstops]

I think he is a tosser etcetc and very rude but her pr company did say she would be there on time, made no apology when she was late and assumed she would be let ont he show.

She is an inspiration to everyone wokring so hard and caring for her family at the same time. she does a great job with harvey and her tv programme really shows that.

[ThomCat]

Spot on Gess. Hear hear. And good luck with the job applications

[ThomCat]

Her PR company don't rule Harveys problems. She is a mother first and formost and should be applauded for staying to sort him out before leaving to see Chris, the jumped up, self important git that he is.

Anyway, I';ve sent him an email fwiw, I feel better for doing so.

[gess]

oh there are bugger all jobs I can do TC- hmm lets see- school bus picks ds1 up at 8.40 drops him back at 3.40, I can't guarantee being available to work any holiday days at all (no avaailablechildcare). Hence I'm applying for research jobs with an assumption that I can do a lot at home. The thought that it will always be like this is frankly depressing.

[gess]

`CM is deeply unpleasant.

[ThomCat]

I hope that's not the case gess, re the job thing. Someone has to realise what they'll gain in having you on board and offer you something. i bloody hope so. You'd be worth your weirght in gold to an employee.

People on Irish radio are constantly late because they get stuck in Dublin traffic. Nobody bats an eye and they rejig running orders. Perhaps the presenters are more professional than Chris Moyles?

[PenelopePitstops]

fiofio i think she was tbh its not all his fault and i dont think peolple should be jumping straight on him shouting harvey harvey harvey because she didnt use him as an 'excuse' at the time 9 i know theres a better word for that and its not what i mean i just cant think of ont) but he was overly harsh

[gess]

I'm not particualrly jumping on him for that, I find him pretty unpleasant. Used to listen to him, now avoid him. DH and I were talking about it at the weekend, we both independently switched over as he was so vile (it's the self obsession, dull dull dull).

[Aloha]

Radio 4 is where you want to be! He is obviosuly a tosser btw.

[PenelopePitstops]

i like the music he plays and struggle to get anything good locally that is my only defence but yes hes an arrogant slef absorbed twat.
