The MACCABBEES - on Robert Elms now...

[MaryAnnSingleton]

I do like them, anyone else ? (hope I've spelled their name right)

Is that the one with the lead singer called Orlando Weeks? I used to teach him - I am so old.

gosh,I don't know - will listen out -they've just said f**k accidentally on air...

what station?

love Latchmere.

Latchmere? The leisure centre?

bbc radio london 94.9fm

the Maccabees have a paean to that very pool!

GLR - of course.

thought there was a teeny chance Robert Elms had moved own. Should have known better .

yep, he's there between 12 and 3 every week day...plays quite a few good things

I've defected to 6music mostly. I am a little bit in love with Shaun Keavney. But maybe Robert can win me back.

there's Gary Crowley too on Saturday evening !

hey megalegs - it is Orlando Weeks !

Robert Elms plays some great stuff especially on a Friday.

He does witter on though doesn't he?

I LOVE that people are still calling the station GLR. Do you know there's a GLR nostalgia group on Facebook which is quite amusing.

I fancy Robert Elms - is that weird?

megalegs - yep, latchmere really is about the latchmere leisure centre bizarrely enough! "It's got a wave machine" goes the song. And they are right.

I remember that single but have lost sight of them since tbh.

Yes mumemma it is a bit if I'm honest.

(sorry Perkin only spotted after that you'd already said the song is about the leisure centre. I'm always doing that.)

I'm trying to persuade ds to buy the album from iTunes with his Christmas voucher...

That's right,it has got a wave machine - I remember. I was a nanny in Wandsworth Common and used to take my charges there - it was fab. I then taught at a little pre prep school in same area which is where I taught Orlando - (was classroom assistant at that stage.) He was a dark haired, very handsome quiet little chap.

Jaquetta Wheeler the mogel went there too - think they were same year.

I've spent many a happy hour dog walking on Wandsworth Common. I once walked over the pond to the island there when it was covered in ice.

Lol spidermama, it's a bit of an old crush - I used to fancy him and Richard Jobson. They're both looking a bit knackered now.

He was for a long time very, very anti establishment, was Robert Elms and then I spotted him in Grazia showing off his chi chi Christmas home complete with tree on back porch...[barf] What's that all about?!

We use dto feed the Canada geese on that pond Spider. Did you live close by? I lived in Brodrick Road, just off Trinity Road between Wandsworth Common and Tooting Bec, then Boundaries Rd which was more Balham way.

I saw that too ranting - someone on Radio London mentioned it,so I took a look in WH Smith - very cute half oriental children though

i quite like robert, he always makes me laugh.
