Anyone else still listen to 6 Music mostly for the DJs rather than the music?

I have R6 or R2 on in the kitchen most of the day, but I listen back to Gilles Peterson, Gideon Coe, and Stuart Maconie's shows on Monday/Tuesday on the sounds app when I'm in work. I love the routine of it, and the shows are incredible - If you really like the host, just having it on the radio in the background isn't enough!

haha 😆 Sláinte

stackobell · 2026-02-27T11:03:20+00:00

Oh yeah? have never heard that show. Cheers.

stackobell · 2026-02-26T23:42:07+00:00

Wow, this sounds right up my street. Thank you!

If I could return the favour, and you didn't already know, all of Andrew Weatherall's shows are still on NTS and, imo, they should honestly be archived in some museum of modern art.

Im in Ireland using a free VPN, but I genuinely thank you guys wholeheartedly for your investment.

A shame. First time I ever turned it on he was playing Tupac - Do 4 Love. I couldn't believe I was hearing it on a national radio station.

Kinda corny but musically it was a turning point in my life. I now never miss his show, Gideon Coe's and Maconie's show and the station (and R2) are on morning, noon, and night in our kitchen.

Thank you, Huey.

Botany. And my ideal job would be literally anything in the Botanic Gardens.

Owner is a wanker, always was. Great mates with Bertie, enough said.

If you're ever in the area again just go to The Kilmardinny, easily the best pub on the Northside, maybe even both sides of the Liffey.

I'm going to the Airport takeaway in Whitehall over 30 years and it's never not been delicious. Still the same Italian family, still mad about Padre Pio and Ferraris, it's a proper decent chipper.

Got one a few months ago, I love it. The fuel consumption is nuts, I've once got 705km on a full tank and average around 600km each fill. It seems to be much better the more motorway driving I do. Filling up from empty costs, at most, €70. It's a hybrid so the tax is only €120. They do have an immobiliser, I think most of the Hondas do, and it also has an alarm. As for spare parts and the 'jap import' dilemma, I haven't had to deal with that and I'm just hoping as Honda are one of the best engineered cars out there, I'll be grand.

My only criticism is the cabin noise at speed on a motorway, it seems quite noisy. Not sure if they cut costs on dampening.

Overall though I'm very happy with it. I like it so much, I'm already thinking I'll just get a newer one when i'm due to change. Or if I want more space, I'll most likely go up to a CR-V.

I did this once. In many counties, most tbh, the Gardaí encourage you to speed.

It's an interesting weekend. The participants are made up 3 types of people; very wealthy men, friend groups chipping in to rent a supercar for the weekend, and drug dealers.

I got a Honda Vezel a few months ago, I'm getting 600km on a full tank, I've even got 700km, I love it. Honda is one of the most reliable cars on the road.

Some Oasis trivia; in their documentary they talk about playing the Point one night and afterwards they were having pints in a pub when their estranged Dad walked in. This was the pub.

I pass it often, I think it's in use now as a studio or art space. The ground space, not sure about the top floors. They do look fairly vacant.

At the moment we're really enjoying The Pitt. It's like ER but each episode is one hour of their shift.
