Aah. I went to Majorca when I was two, along with France. A few years back I went on a coach trip with my grandparents. France, Switzerland, Germany, Belgium, and all them little countries round there. Think I went to like, 8 countries in a week?

Woo. :)

OMASM. Radio presenters are like fruit. Matt is my kumquat and Scott is blatantly my orange.

Anyone from Edinburgh / surrounding area been in the city center then?

Last year I didnt have a problem with any of what was going on because it was the first time I had properly "done" the festival, despite having lived here all my life. However this year I'm getting a little fed up. Yes there are a lot of shows on and I'm sure most are fairly descent, from what I've seen of the proper street performers (unicyclists, knife jugglers etc) they are good as well, but what I don't appreciate is people banging on about how great their show is and thrusting things into my hand.

Me and 1 of my friends fell into this trap on Sunday, went into a venue after being promised top notch comedy and it was essentially a drama group with a nonsense play that wasnt funny. We all know the type, think they're the next big thing when in reality they're jumped up kids who over-act everything.

The best one was yesterday though. Was in town with some people, as usual flyers being forced on us to the point where the pile was getting ridiculous. 1 of the people I was with had had enough, wasnt planning on seeing any of it so put them in the bin, only for someone to comment to a performer/leaflet person about him having done it and the end result was insults about him being said, clearly intended on the group I was with hearing it.

However, been to 7 shows so far (all stand up comedy) and only 1 has disappointed slightly, gonna see what I can do about getting tickets for Becky's and Scott's shows over the next couple of days as well. Definitly got another 3 shows to go to as well and I might stretch that to 4 or possibly 5.

Despite my moans about the aforementioned jumped up little brats, I think I'm genuinely gonna miss it when it goes again

I think it's a scottish police drama, so it's like the bill but in Scotland.:)

Thats Taggart you're thinking of isnt it? By far the best police program on tv, I'll happily watch 1 of those but I can't bare most other programs about the police etc

I know River city and Taggart are different show i just thought River City was about police cos Scott played a policman as he usually does. I agree with you about Taggart it's a muurrda:)

The probable one was Beautiful Thing. But I like Prayers For Bobby, Shelter and stuff like that. YouTube films.

My actual one is Love Actually. :) My mum & I watch all the Hugh Grant / COLIN FIRTH movies. Quite like them. Bridget Jones, Notting Hill...

Obviously watch Chick Flicks too. Espesh at sleepovers. That is, when we're not having a Gavin & Stacey marathon.

    • The Summer on Radio 1 thing makes me wonder whether they might be doing something similar to last year again where they have a temporary schedule over the summer before introducing changes in September - maybe the new host won’t start until after the summer?
    • There was talk on my Big Weekend group from the council about them waiting for Ticketmaster to send an email out. They said they've been waiting a week. Maybe they're waiting for train strike confirmation first. 
    • It’s on Saturday and Friday that week too. I guess this would make sense, as it gives them roughly 6 weeks off weekends until they start the new show?
    • Yeah he's on more than usual including this Sunday and then 3 more shows in May according to the above. Makes me think it's James for the weekend shows also
    • For some reason there is 'Summer on Radio 1' listed on Sunday 2nd June, could this be replacing M&M until July?
    • They seem to be using James more for cover now makes me think it will be him getting weekends eitjer breakfast or 1 till 4 
    • Yep am very much Capital Breakfast now. Jordan, Chris and Sian are a great trio and it's got that feel of the old shows Jordan and Chris used to do on Radio 1. It doesn't take itself too seriously but is packed full of content and slick. With Greg he's great but 6 years in you've probably heard it all before plus frankly I can sit through the Capital Playlist a lot more easily than the Radio 1 playlist (where some of the inclusions and omissions can be quite baffling at times). Plus after things like the Oscars or Met Gala or if there's a particularly big TV show or film or popstar then Greg won't half wang on about it at times. I guess it's partly to be expected with it being a Breakfast show on a young station but it can feel very London bubble and get tired.
    • Ore Olukoga is in for Arielle on Tuesday 14th May. James Cusack is in for Danny Beard on Saturday 1st June. James Cusack is in for Nat on Sunday 2nd June.
    • I honestly never thought in a million years I’d move from Radio 1 to be a regular Capital breakfast show listener. But it’s got pretty much everything I want - 3 really genuine, entertaining mates having a laugh, playing silly games and it all sounds great. I became a big fan of Chris from his days with Scott, became a Jordan fan on Going Home, and Sian Welby is newer to me but is loads of fun too.  It’s great and I’ve shocked myself by transferring my listening at breakfast. For me Greg’s show now feels very tired and it’s time for something new. But with Jordan gone that’s unlikely to happen anytime soon. Greg’s had a great run and I’m a fan - but there’s no new ideas now. I still listen to Radio 1 at other times - but this show feels like very serious competition for Greg. 
    • They have built four new studios to increase capacity, alongside the existing six.  Bearing in mind that some of the output of R1, 1X, R2 & 6M comes from elsewhere, and Asian Network is gradually moving all output to Birmingham, this should be enough!
    • How do they manage to cater for 6Music and Radio 2 on that floor? Did they adapt it? 
    • I think we've all figured out now how much you like it @AndyK77 😂 Personally while I think it's by far the best show on the Capital schedule and better than its predecessor, it still has the shortened songs and other commercial-radio aspects that remind me why I'm a Radio 1 fan. No matter how well this has worked out for Jordan, and all credit to him for landing the job, I can't help but feel that a Jordan and Katie show on R1 breakfast would have been so much better!
    • A few weeks in and I am actually loving the show and Jordan is a nice mix of his old chaotic self and dare I say it a slick jock.
    • He must be in his element. At Eurovision and a Gold award!
    • I really like Rylan, and as much of a fun idea it would be to have Scott and Rylan together, I think Rylan is too much of a main character.  Scott needs a side-kick rather than a full on co-host I think. That’s why he and Chris worked so well, Scott steered the show, and Chris was the perfect person to have alongside him.    I don’t religiously listen to Rylan’s show, but when I do catch it, it’s perfect weekend energy. He has a very warm presenting style too, but something makes me think he and Scott together every day would be a bit too much.
