Paddy McGuiness

Well done to him for raising so much money can’t be that unpopular

He's hit a £million raised today. That will help a lot of small charities.

I loved Pheonix nights but I've gone off him due to the way he treated his wife and children. I watched a documentary about them and he spoke to her like crap.. on the documentary! imagine what he was like behind closed doors.

Chopper bike seats are like razor blades, hope he has a cushion !!!

The irony was that the auctions were called 'experiences that money can't buy' when the whole point was that only if you had loads of cash could you access them.

@Sweetpeasaremadeforbees I agree the Chris Evan's auctions were tone deaf and the people with the mega bucks who Chris knew had a different way of contacting the show to place a bid.
I'm not a fan of the bike ride this week but at least it's meeting the public and asking for small donations. Rob Beckett and Romesh were too busy so I don't think there were many DJ's to ask to follow in the footsteps of Vernon last year.

That was dreadful, and I couldn't listen to it either. And people always go on about the sainted Radio God Terry. He started that auction. Chris Evans just took it over and made it even more tone deaf! Ill take boring on about a bike ride over that!

Yes exactly. That used to be the only time of the year when I actually switched off the radio.

I'm doing the opposite of changing the map lol. I'm simply stating a fact. On a map where I look at me, look at where he's from and look at London it's halfway.

I don't know why you can't just respect people have different opinions. I didn't correct anyone directly, I just gave my opinion of which I'm entitled to do. I couldn't care less if you disagree.

As I said you do you. I'm simply reflecting a widely held view in these parts. You don't get to tell us proper northerners where the north is 😂. Feel free to have the last word as this is getting a bit childish!

Northern England, or the North of England, is a region that forms the northern part of England and mainly corresponds to the historic counties of Cheshire, Cumberland, Durham, Lancashire, Northumberland, Westmorland and Yorkshire. The region also coincides with the medieval era borders of Anglian Northumbria, the Anglo-Scandinavian Kingdom of Jorvik, and the Brythonic Celtic Hen Ogledd kingdoms. The North is a grouping of three statistical regions: the North East, the North West, and Yorkshire and the Humber.

I took this from Wikipedia.

You are a Northerner if you come from Knutsford (which is where I would argue the North begins) or Berwick upon Tweed. There aren't degrees of northernness.

That's also digressing from the point of the post as well

It's not a perspective its a geographical fact ,and im not the one trying to change the map.

For the love of God....

Paddy isn't a northerner in my eyes as he's hundreds of miles south of here and in terms of geography from here is more like from akin to the midlands as its halfway to London.

You can't force people to share your perspective. You do you. Please let's stop derailing.

It's also a fact that Bolton is in the North West of England ,you can't just decide its not .

He is SO shit on the radio.

A real northerner (of England) in my opinion is Teesside, Durham, Tyneside, Cumbria and Northumberland. North Yorks would be the cut off but I know many up here wouldn't even agree with that.

I’m a ‘real northerner’. I’m confused as to where you think Bolton is though. Midlands; South?

Scott started out on hospital radio so he is a seasoned performer, I'd say!

I totally agree with you.

He said something on Vernon's show today and it could have been Peter Kay speaking. He wouldn't be anywhere if it wasn't for Peter.

Totally talentless

That was dreadful, and I couldn't listen to it either. And people always go on about the sainted Radio God Terry. He started that auction. Chris Evans just took it over and made it even more tone deaf! Ill take boring on about a bike ride over that! Theres a local dance school near me that gets huge amounts of funding from CiN, and I knoew someone who benefitted hugely from it, so I cant begrudge them that. They support and highlight the work of small UK charities.

I was genuinely surprised that people take the time to message into radio 2 to wish him luck!
It was endless 🙄
Do people really do this???

I barely have time to msg people I like

I think it's pretty much compulsory do to this sort of thing if you are on Radio2 and relatively fit. They take it in turns - was Vernon Kaye last year, Dermot O'Leary has done something hasn't he, Scott Mills did a dance-athon, it's Paddy's turn this year.

I think his R2 show is okay actually. The quiz thing he does is often really funny.

I can’t bear to listen to any of the CiN challenges though, I turn over when there’s an update. Like when Tezza used to do those appalling auctions for experiences money can’t buy. All the filthy rich listeners getting to ring in and have a lovely time going out to dinner with the Spice Girls or something. So tone deaf.
