I wouldn't have heard this as I have to switch off/over as soon as I hear his voice. But ha ha! £600K+ a year and he gets all upset about missing getting paid.
And in his typical totally witless way too.
Anyone survive 30 minutes of the talentless lumps rantings?

Can't listen to him on Radio1 - winds me right up.

But, it is a bit lame to have not been paid since July, if that is the case.
Not a great move to rant about it on air though.

Excellent. Moyles'll be gone soon then. I've not listened to him since about the third show I ever heard of his when he followed Mark and Lard on R1. I'd just turn off because he's so annoying.

People like Moyles being paid such obscene amounts of money for doing f-all of any real worth, just proves that Elfinism is the only way forward for our World.

Teehee! 😆

Mind you it one time it was a reasonably good looking girl and she said she thought he was 'sexy'. 😕

They obviously don't care about him, otherwise they'd have pulled him off the air within 5 minutes.

Maybe its their way of giving himself enough rope?

[i]After a listener texted in to say "Stop moaning, you get paid a fortune compared with most people", a clearly annoyed Moyles responded: "You know nothing about my life. And by the way, what, because I get paid more than you that means if I don't get paid for two months I should just do oh well, harumph?[/i]

He's got a point though, and a good one IMO

And I also think some of the attitudes on this thread are very poor indeed.

i doubt he's PAYE.
it's probably Chris Moyles Ltd. that hasn't had it's invoices paid, which is a slightly different matter, isn't it?

Funiest thing for ages, the self opinionated button pusher,get real and get a real job,then you will honestly feel youve earned your wage.

How hard can it be to talk a load of crap, play a few record slag your workmates off,etc, etc.

Bit like here sometimes,but we all ride bikes and are like a big family.

I can see why you'd get annoyed at not getting paid, whether you earn £16k or £600k but I really hope that it spells the end. Him and his entourage are just cringe inducing.

What the guy hasn't been paid since July.

I can imagine the crying on here it was happen to some of you, enough whining if you don't get your item you paid £15 off the classifieds for.

Quite difficult to do it well enough for the majority on here, evidently

To be fair, it's good to see someone getting paid what they're worth.
Well done the beeb

The only reason he is still there is that he hasn't got the talent to move onto anything else. I listen occasionally when I flick round the channels and its unbelievable how little music he plays.

Like most people, they probably can't stand the sound of his voice, so didn't notice.

Wow a 30 min rant on not getting paid. Shows you how little goes on in his show, that he could even fit that in.

Some of you have sympathy for this overpaid, delusional flumpoid? LOL lol and thrice lol

PP - you missed off a bit "If you have a problem with that I'll pay your licence fee and you can switch off and listen to someone else. Go and read the Daily Mail, you miserable fart."

Which is typical of his witlessness.

I can understand he's frustrated as being freelance myself it can sometimes take my clients a couple of months to cough up.

Big, big mistake to rant on-air though, particularly in the current economic climate. He hasn't done himself any favours by doing this.

If I went round bad mouthing my clients then it wouldn't be very long I suspect before the phone stopped ringing.

No no Peter; it's ok because it's Chris Moyles. Of course if it happened to a decent person, then yes it's out of order, but it happened to Chris Moyles, which makes it ok. And funny. 😆

I'll take him up on the licence fee offer, though.

Whiney fat get. I heard his show once in a hotel, and he spent 15 minutes describing what he did the night before, which was washing up and little else.

Tedious, talentless and maybe the bubble is about to burst?

Ok I'll buck the trend, I think his current breakfast show is very funny. The only show I listen to on Radio 1.

[i]it's probably Chris Moyles Ltd. [/i]

He probably has employees, if the BEEB hasn't paid him...

If this was a guy that worked in Tesco and complained to every customer he served he hadn't got paid, he'd get the sack.

Moyles job is to entertain licence fee paying public (not that I find him entertaining), not use the radio time WE pay for to complain, he should take that up with the people that run the station.

This. I happen to like him, but don't really think that's relevant to this. Be interesting to see what, if anything, happens.

He did and still didn't get paid and lost his temper because of it. You never lost your temper at work then?

He has the longest running breakfast show on radio1 and he has increased the numbers of listeners by millions. You may not like him but he is good at what he does.

No, I work in a professional environment, Carrying on like a spoilt brat wouldn't go down well, and quite rightly too.

I like him, only bit of Radio1 worth listening to till 7pm. If any of you listened to the show, you'll know he very rarely plays any records till after 7am anyway, so its not unusual for him.
I think he has shot himself in the foot a bit on this one though. Unless it was a last resort, he shouldn't have done that on air. At the same time, being the kind of bloke that he his, I think the beeb should have seen it coming and the beeb is at fault as well.
I do find that so many people on here think he's annoying, etc, but you've got god knows how many other radio stations to listen to, if you don't like it, try something else and stop moaning about it.

Is nt a whole part of Chris Moyles show him going on about what happened last night and generally moaning about his life ?

So its just his normal show really but the rant just happens to be about his employer this time.

Me too but on a very rare occasion I have lost my temper, taken a lot and probably only happened 2 or 3 times in 21 years but I've done it. Not getting paid would certainly do it.

I'll take Moyles and his team over that bunch of muppets M&L any day, thanks.

As to not getting paid, it's not unreasonable to be p!ssy, it is unreasonable to make the whole show about it. That said, it does sound like there may be some politics behind it all (at the BBC? Never!) so maybe he felt that he had to do it to get it sorted, who knows.
