Why has someone in management not told him his baby's burblings are not fascinating to the world in general?

Ok I know it's trivial but that plus Moira Stuart's little girl laughter is spoiling my breakfast Confused

Simple ... switch off the blathering nonsense and tune into something better, like Five Live.

DwpAnxt · 05/11/2010 23:26

Yep I totally agree. Its an abuse of his position and someone ought to have informed him that he is possibly one of the very few people who are entranced with his 'baby's burblings' .

I was a bit Hmm listening on the way to work but can put up with it for all of 7 minutes-lord knows what its like if it arries on for the entire show.

Steve wrights Sunday loves songs jingle (used for yeeeeeeeears) is his daughter. Maybe it's a dj thing?

NotanOtter · 05/11/2010 23:28

gosh how dreadfully naff egocentric and unprofessional

NotanOtter · 05/11/2010 23:29

He will cringe when his child is older and he sees this objectively. Other peoples kids cuteness ]

I am actually embarrassed for him

southeastastra · 05/11/2010 23:31

i can't listen to his show. it's so childish and he plays odd 70s music

ishouldbeinbedbynow · 05/11/2010 23:33

I like him, he is entertaining, get over yourselves!

jasper · 05/11/2010 23:57

I really like him too.

His baby is of no interest to me at all. I have three of my own that are completely adorable -TO ME AND THEIR DAD -that I don't impose on anyone else.

Haven't heard it myself as I am enjoying The Fry Chronicles on the way to work but my DH loves it, even told me to start listening again to hear Noah.

cath476 · 06/11/2010 08:13

369thegoosedrankwine · 06/11/2010 08:28

I heard the jingles the other day and thought awww how cute. You misogs.

AnnOnimous - can i just say - i like your name - but i think it could be enhanced to AnnOminous - not a jibe, just a suggestion

right, chris's baby ...umm it doesn't bother me and i don't like kids particularly

lorelilee · 06/11/2010 09:09

Chris Evans is a broadcasting genius who can do no wrong in my eyes. I love his positive attitude to life and that he appears to have learnt from past mistakes. I listen to him every day on the way to work and he always cheers me up whilst sitting in a (top ten in the UK) traffic jam on the M8!

btw - I am not his wife.

Panzee · 06/11/2010 09:10

When's Selina Scott coming back? She sounded lovely in the morning! :)

SkippyjonJones · 06/11/2010 09:27

I like it - he makes my hideous mornings slightly brighter.

lorelilee · 06/11/2010 09:36

Good lord no Panzee - she was annoying. I LOVE Moira.

40someMum · 07/11/2010 19:49

I like CE and the breakfast show. The odd bits of his child doesn't both me.
