the stinking enigma Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 I quite like that scottish guy weatherforecaster. I could already do one as a result of reading the broons christmas albums as a kid but my daughter now also has a passable scottish accent solely as a result of listening to this guy in the mornings. It's a bit harsh to judge the guy during a heatwave, it's in the winter when he really shines. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a bit harsh to judge the guy during a heatwave, it's in the winter when he really shines. When he first started he was incomprehensible. A bit less so now, but I'm not sure if that's because he's knocked the edges off it or because I've become used to it. I don't suppose it matters seeing as you can't trust the weather forecast anyway. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hissingsid Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Howard Cain's version of the news always sets my teeth on edge just a rapid gabble, Chris Caine has a great voice for radio very clear. Stu was having a rant about slow drivers today.....we are not all petrol heads !!!!having said that the mountain road is desperate when you get one really slow leading the procession. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah yes, and his very patronising and pointless use of a Spanish accent, to accentuate every foreign name that he tries to pronounce. ggrrrrrr 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have certainly noticed a difference on 2 devices. Anyone else noticed? Yay. Listened this morning and this afternoon, on the way to work and back, and the sound levels seemed fine in the speech, adverts and music. Maybe they've cracked it! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecobob Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 (edited) I agree. I listened this morning and when Whispering Brian (ex weather man) Rae came on to whisper about Laa Columb Killey I thought, here we go and went to turn up the volume when suddenly his voice went up a few decibels all on its own with no hands required. The power of MF strikes again. I reckon Uncle Stu had a word. Edited June 27, 2018 by ecobob 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolley Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 I do hope so. Not tried it yet. It's been dire for years, but every time I brought it up here, Stu would come on to rubbish the suggestion. Great if they've sorted it, but now can we make the adverts almost inaudible please.................? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the stinking enigma Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Just listening to stu bumbling through the living hope issue the thing that struck me most, other than stu throwing anonymous keyboard warriors like myself under the wheels of the living hope fun bus, was mr stansfield seemingly to me change what he was going to say from planting the seed to planting the churches. A wise move even though it didn't make sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon they should be planting something or someone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hissingsid Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 The Water wheel in Groudle glen should be left to rot graciously. I bet 99% of Onchan residents have ever seen it. No increase in rates please because of Caines grandstanding if she cares that much let her fund it out of the money she does sod all useful to earn.
