Another week begins... Mills is off practicing his dancing for Sport Relief.

Not particular high standards to live up to, from what I saw on Saturday night (with the exception of the Eastenders ladies). HA!!

Plug in from 4 pm !!

Yes but we are talking about the bloke who failed auditions for Dancing On Ice (and it wasn't because of his celebrity status!)

Yeah I've given up trying to avoid laughing on the bus, it happens too much. Entertained by Chris' story about the shampoo. Can't believe they're still doing a show and tell feature but the Radio 1Xtra/6Music stuff was funny, innit.

Admittedly, I did laugh a bit at the story about the guy who high fived his driving instructor. I really must try and contain myself when in public though, because I got a few weird looks whilst listening to the podcast.

I liked the one about with the girls who blagged a trip to Austrialia because they said they played netball.

The sheep is not a creature of the air.

Err I think Elmify and Absolute Twoddle (who did it more recently, and even had users come up with her original intro animation thingy) have both used it. Neither of them are gay guys though, so you might not be interested in them and their vids ;) On the other hand, there's CharlieIsSoCoolLike who has actual Stephen Fry on his Outro.

I haven't heard of them, but obviously know who Charlie is and I subscribe to him. I'm not limited to only gay vloggers… I'm subbed to TomSka's vlogging channel, Alex Day, Dan Brown (not the author…) and some others.

Dan Brown's great, I recommend checking him out. Not only did he teach me to solve my Rubik's cube, but he has some pretty interesting things to say (although most of his recent stuff is mainly about American politics). His username is pogobat. :)

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

Only caught the last hour of the show last night but entertained by it. Might have to catch up on the whole thing. Scott seemed all over the place but that's what made it good - him asking a woman having her nails done if she had any more appointments coming up! Matt Edmondson made it all the more amusing too.

    • I must have missed that yesterday, sorry! Scott did make the same tongue in cheek comment on today's show about Rylan. It's a shame Rylan isn't the go to cover for Scott, I assume his commitments away from R2 prevent that. I enjoyed his last cover stint. Spoony is the go to stand in for the mid afternoon slot (he's covering again week after next while Scott's off getting married).   In that case, I think you're right! 
    • Not that last minute. Scott was talking about it on his own show yesterday, saying he and Rylan have a deal where they cover each other's shows but Rylan only covers Scott when he can be bothered!
    • Sorry I should have been clearer, I meant daytime weekday. Weekend shows would count as a 'step up' from overnights for OJ.
    • If we're counting the overnight slot, OJ Borg regularly covers weekend shows.
    • The only weekday R2 DJ who would ever cover a weekend slot?!
    • What I assume is a very last minute change... Scott Mills is in for Rylan today.
    • Radio 1 at Parklife will be presented by Vicky and Nat. Nat is currently listed to present her usual Sunday show on that weekend but I imagine that will change and someone else will be doing it instead. The Radio 1 presenters at Download will be Daniel P Carter, Jack Saunders, Alyx Holcombe and Nels Hylton.
    • Nat in for Dean with Vicky as well that day.
    • So the end of weekend afternoons this week - new show is July 1st.
    • Arielle is in for Greg on Monday 27th May.
    • He’s definitely gotten better and the show has sounded fine this week. I think it been at its best when it’s been Katie and Jamie or Vick and Katie. Vick and Jamie are ok together, but I do think the show sounds better when it’s Vick and Katie and therefore I still don’t really understand the point of the trio.    Jamie is, however, a lot better than Danny Beard! 
    • The RAJAR coming on later this year reflecting later summer to autumn will be interesting to how it reflects Matt and Mollie in afternoons to the revised changes on radio 1’s new music slots and the schedule re-shuffling Radio 3 introducing a new slate of programmes. Then, later on this year have speech radio stations having domestic political coverage of the election but also America’s presidential election.  
    • I actually caught snippets of today’s show, and I found it much better than the last time I listened. I have made it no secret that I like Jamie on the radio, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed Matt & him together last year. People have criticised him for not being relatable, but I have to agree with the comment above that I have always found him a naturally warm person to listen to. Maybe the going home set up was something that needed settling in and things are starting to take shape.  It must have been difficult for him joining an established duo in Vick & Katie to begin with.  Jamie was great on something songs today, fully engaged in the caller and sounded like a real presenter. Maybe he is doing as a lot of us hoped and really learning as he goes, how to do it properly. 
    • Agree with this. The anti-Jamie feeling was IMO quite influenced by the negativity around him replacing Jordan, since Jordan was exceptional and also universally loved. When people mention Danny and Jamie in the same sentence about bad hiring decisions I almost choke - Jamie may not be perfect but he's several leagues better than Danny already and has bags of potential. Danny is poor and has shown zero potential...
    • Jamie started 4 March, and the figures only going up to 31 March, so it isn't reliable. But it has shown the numbers have dropped in afternoons compared to last quarter. It looks like it's Capital's gain.
