To Think That a Confession (Radio 2) should

[AngelDreams]

To Think That a Confession (Radio 2) should actually be something that you have kept secret from other people? a guilty secret maybe?

Yesterday, or the day before, on the radio there was a 'confession' about a woman who was stressed and in the car with 3 DCs, bought some sweets and then threw them with force in to the car... although funnily it wasnt her car.... oh how we laughed.... BUT ITS NOT A CONFESSION IS IT???

I like it when Matt gets on his high horse when a confessor has pissed him off. I play 'sunshine' bingo

The one about the woman spinning in a dress at a ball is more an embarrassing storytelling than a confession

Yes funny, but not a confession

I don't listen anymore because the guy with the awful false guffaw (might be Matt from what pp's have said) really grinds my gears. It would be better if Simon just read the confessions without the comments/fake laughter from the others. Frank Skinner calls this 'staffter' as in staff laughter - his show is also guilty of it, although in his case the laughter seems genuine and is over something actually funny.

I still haven't forgiven Simon Mayo for leaving Radio 5.........

I've never forgiven Simon Mayo for the confession he did on his tv show, where the two long term married women found out that their husbands had spent an evening with two other girls shortly before they married (instead of having car trouble as they'd said at the time). The women weren't laughing, it was awful.

I loved the one about the snubbed farmhands who drove their tractors with hay bales to trap the poncy BMW driver and his convertible, filling the car with hay.
