Movember!

Is anyone on here taking part in this worthy event?

It is an effort on behalf of a charity, whereby blokes have to grow moustaches in order to raise awareness of, and help people who are suffering from prostate cancer. http://uk.movember.com/about/

My lovely Timsk and his NHS colleagues have gone all 'tache-ified' for 30 days (starting last Monday). Almost mistook him for Rufus Hound earlier! Not such a bad thing, I suppose. Bit of stubble burn though.;)

If any of you have a pound or two to donate, it'd be greatly appreciated.

I don't have a pound or 2 to donate. I am tired of being asked for cash all the time. I swear, the Internet and the streets are full of people asking for money every week.

Harsh, I know, but true. I am not giving a pound, or 2, or 50 pence, or even 1 pence (fact).

Viv... as cliched as it sounds, if you don't have anything nice to say you really just shouldn't bother. Nobody is forcing you to donate. :rolleyes:

Best of luck to Tim in his moustache-growing endeavours, I'll make my donation at some point today.

So save the last dance

For me my love 'cause I

I see you as an angel freshly fallen from the sky...

I'm just saying. You can't walk down a street these days without a can or a magazine being thrust into your face. Money for this, that, the other.

I'm starting a "viv" can where people can give me 1p just for being harassed for money. I should be loaded pretty much by the end of the first day.

We're in an on-going recession, and it's just outrageous. And Xmas is coming up for us all. And VAT hikes on everything from 1st January 2011. I've had to buy a number of extra clothes early, before the V.A.T. hikes in 2011.

Never mind growing moustaches. We're all doomed. The whole bloody lot of us.

I think that it is great that Timsk is doing this!

Viv as for you, can I cast your mind back to Sport relief, where nearly every post you made was asking for people to donate? I think you even had a sponsor me message in your signature! So don't come on here moaning and whining about people asking for donations.

You never have a nice word to say when Nati is involved. So take Helen's advice and for once keep your stupid contradicting opinions to yourself!

Bit ironic considering how many threads you've made in the (recent) past pestering us all about donating to/sponsoring Scott, Radio 1 etc...

For everyone supporting me in this (even just with a thought or comment), you have my thanks. The 'tache is already fully grown - in just a week and a half! It has a lot of grey mixed in, but people have told me it looks distinguished - so that kind up makes up for the itching / scratching and general ridiculousness of the whole thing...

Times are hard for all of us, but it's one of the things I admire most about the British public - the general willingness to give a thought (or a spare pound or two) to those who are in a less fortunate position than themselves. 1 in 10 men will suffer from prostate cancer, so it's quite possible a brother, father or male friend will be afflicted at some point later in their lives, and it's a tiny thing for me to do to look more daft than normal for a month to get people commenting and to raise awareness a tiny bit.

I'll be posting a picture at some point, you have been warned!

EDIT: Thanks for the donation Helen - much appreciated.

Damn, you got there before me. ;)

I'll check my Paypal to see how many pennies I have...

Ohai.

Yes, but that was before we had a change of Government. No-one knows what on Earth they will do next, and I strongly advise anyone to think carefully about just how much they can afford - now, or in the future. I will even be thinking about what I will give to R1 in future.

Like Emma, I will leave it here.

    • I would rather do the new music show than the breakfast show early starts, being cheery and entertaining isn’t my vibe and being hip and on trend. With new music it’s a different kettle of fish that could get my teeth into and enjoy researching and planning of the show and coming up with ideas and making my mark in away that I don’t think I have the ideas for a breakfast. I don’t see how it could be alienating but I enjoy the niche and speciality of expertise that new music shows gives it’s good spot of giving you the headlines and setting the agenda of mainstream music.
    • Absolutely, Jack is such an incredible broadcaster already, incredibly entertaining with such brilliant music knowledge and his excitement is contagious, I've never really listened to New Music Shows like Future Sounds but I'm instantly invested in new music due to his show, as I'm sure many others are too.  yes the effects are a little strange but after listening back they're strangely charming when you get used to them. 
    • Jack has smashed it He was born for this show, he said he’d been dreaming of it and you could tell. Such passion and energy as always with Jack but in a show that can grab people’s attention and drag them down the rabbit hole of new music if you had a keen interest in discovering new music but haven’t in a while, new music shows can be alienating with no familiarity until you ‘get into it’ - the new show has ensured you can ease into to get back into sync . i love the Zane influences - he will be the forefront of where every emerging and returning artist wants to be with this show . Very excited for this chapter
    • Oh I though they were nbh studios   
    • Yes, I feel that unless it’s for a special sessions with a large ensemble band that for live sessions going out live on the radio. Never saw why they haven’t used the live lounge studio and feel that room could be used more.  
    • Interesting now Zane has for apple interviewed anything from an artists that have charted and doing less interviews with new and emerging talents chatting to Shakira, Usher, Kelly Clarkson and Shania Twain. Yes, that is a positive thing about Jack Saunders. Although I don’t mind it from time to time for a presenter to be honest and spill an unsavoury opinion about music on the station like Annie did with Fall Out Boy.
    • Interesting Jack mentioned they've got new studios at Maida Vale; you'd think, with the move to Stratford, they wouldn't bother update the studios so close to the end...
    • I assume it's meant to appeal to a TikTok generation
    • Yep Jack is very much Radio 1's modern day Zane Lowe - but with the bonus that he does feel a bit a bit more open-minded and open to chart stuff than Zane was. I could never imagine Zane being a chart host the way Jack is - I always had the sense if Zane didn't approve of your music taste he'd make you well aware of it.
    • I will still call them sessions as feel with gigs it makes you think of a live tangible means of going to listen to a band play music and not virtually tuning in via the medium of radio.
    • He does what the show needs regardless of how annoying some people may find his presentation style is like. I feel and very much do hope he is in for the long haul and could atleast do four years where his energy may into be as always as bouncy. But he has the knowledge, passion and interaction and not so overbearing but very much so sense of confidence that you need. I think he could easily have a good Zane Lowe like era. Just hope that they consider doing a new late night live music show as I do miss that something of what he had in the early days of the indie show and when Huw Stephens was on live at the after ten slot
    • Speaking of the sessions, they've been renamed Live Gigs for any forum members not listening to the show & reading this later
    • I’ve found the jingles are annoying and going to grate on the listener quickly. It’s a good opening week with big name hottest records and sessions
    • With the effects I'm half expecting a massive whoooooo soon
