I think a better question would be what DOESN'T suck in my life at the moment. Not only do I have piles of work to do at the mo, I lost my student ID card on Friday, got a really crap mark for something that's meant to be going towards my final grade and bits of my stuff keep going missing from the house. Brilliant.

So save the last dance

For me my love 'cause I

The fact that I had to get out of bed at 3am for a fire alarm then only just got back into bed whne we all got kicked out again as they couldnt get the fire alarms reset and so there was "no fire cover". What are the chances of there actually being a fire and if there was I think the screams would probably give us a warning. I must admit - uni has made me a lot less grateful of fire alarms.

I don't know what it is about being in student Halls that makes fire alarms and fire extinguishers not safety equipment, but toys for idiots to play with. The boys I was living with last year thought the Carbon Dioxide extinguisher was great fun, and we had so many fire alarms that all of our "Break glass here" things had no glass in because they never bothered replacing it.

I am currently trying to do something that is very tedious for a piece of coursework that is due in next week. It involves squinting at a pixelated satellite image and identifying several hundred random points and putting each one into a category to "check the accuracy" of the computer program that does just that in a few seconds. I didn't sleep well last night, I kept waking up, and I'm still a bit deaf from The Kills, so I'd much rather go home and go to bed.

Is that better or worse than cartography?QUOTE]

We are the first year who didn't have to do cartography, we have to do it all on computer instead. It's similar really, image classification. The software is so unintuitive as well, I had to get my friend to help me with all of it to get me this far, he just seems to understand it more than I do.

My throat hurts and my head feels kind of hot, perhaps I have another cold coming on.

    • Just Vick and Katie on Wednesday (and presumably Thursday as well).
    • Unless people can provide a source for this information then it should be treated as false.   Why would Jordan sign a contract with the BBC in the autumn when he agreed a deal with Global?  He could have left in August and not had to deal with the BBC.  Vick who doesn't really like Global why would she recommend him to go there and then warn him in her post to be careful?   It's been whispered from October that Roman was thinking of going.  Roman and Jordan have the same management team.  Why would they put Jordan in a place where he would have to battle with the BBC.  They could have agreed a deal with Global for Jordan in the summer.  They might have had to pay first couple months but they would do they to secure him.  If they had known about Roman wanting to leave they could have paid Roman off to get Jordan on air quicker.  Global would also not had legal around BBC contract to deal with and would not have had to pay the BBC to release Jordan.  None of what people say makes sense and if it did happen the way people say then BBC are not the stupid ones.  It really is not a good look to be talking with Global for 6 months, to then sign a contract with a the BBC, continue to talk to Global behind BBC's back after signing and then couple of months later want to leave and to throw a hissy fit as the BBC are not giving you what you want when you want it. That not a good light for Jordan or his management.   
    • Wow, surprised he signed a new contract in September but it says a lot about Jordan that he continued to a very high standard throughout last summer/autumn if this was all going on in the background. 
    • They knew Roman wanted to leave early last year but wasn't officially announced but he gave them time to sort replacement. Found and offered Jordan a deal in June or July and needed time to get Jordan out of Contract at bbc and roman to do notice  Jordan had dinner with Katie Vick and Arielle to ask advice and all said he should go.   
    • And they told Radio 4’s Feedback that it was an ‘experiment’ to ‘look at the best way to serve young listeners’ but reaffirmed that 280 hours commitment.
    • I doubt he wanted to go to Global if a slot before he found out kemp was leaving.
    • We're hoping to get some answers in the coming weeks
    • From what he's saying on the Pod he's been trying to get out of r1 for a while. Looks like he needed to wait for a show on global to be available. Jordan had bbq last summer with most of thr global execs and he's referenced the deal was in place then. Obviously the hold up was r1 being stubborn
    • All seems to be back to normal this morning.
    • Indeed and Jordan was already friends with Sian Welby, Will Manning and Jimmy Hill.  
    • It's great to see those friendships still thriving. I think the days of Radio 1 DJs and Capital DJs being unable to co-exist is long over. You used to either be firmly BBC or commercial, and you don't get the sense that's the case anymore. 
    • Maia Beth will be presenting the Radio 1 Happy shows from the 27th April replacing Katie.  https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001ydkr
    • Vick and Jordan together on Insta (with Ariel’s) in Ibiza. You do imagine Jordan’s ex colleagues have a very different attitude to him than management. Comments on Help! And very subtle comments on Capital Breakfast suggest Jordan was frustrated with Radio 1 / BBC management.  
    • I can name quite a few people on this forum who would be better presenters than Danny.
    • His NYE shows were very good. Only thing I would say is he was shackled down slightly there. During his peak he played some great trance stuff in the late 90s and early 00s. So if he were to do a regular show that would have to feature more. Aside from I'd love to see him back.
