Alot of us did grow up in the 90's so you'll probably relate to this e-mail that my friend sent me earlier (Ignore the fact that its all in CAPS. I didn't fancy re-writing the entire thing):

YOU KNOW YOU'RE A BRITISH 90’s KID IF...

1. YOU CAN SING THE RAP TO "THE FRESH PRINCE OF BELL AIR"

2. YOU'VE WORN LEGGINGS AND FELT COOL.

3. YOU USED TO LOVE PLAYING WITH YOUR "PUPPY IN MY POCKETS"

4. YOU REMEMBER WHEN IT WAS ACTUALLY WORTH GETTING UP ON A SATURDAY MORNING TO WATCH LIVE & KICKING OR SM:TV.

5. YOU HAD A HUGE FRINGE AT SOME POINT IN YOUR CHILDHOOD.

6. YOU REMEMBER READING AND WATCHING "GOOSEBUMPS"

7. YOU TOOK PLASTIC CARTOON LUNCH BOXES TO SCHOOL.

8. YOU KNOW THE WORDS FROM THE SHAKEY JAKE MILKSHAKE ADVERTS

9. YOU REMEMBER THE CRAZE OF YO-YOS AND TAMAGOTCHI'S

10. YOU STILL GET THE URGE TO SAY "NOT" AFTER EVERY SENTENCE.

11. YOU KNEW THAT KIMBERLY, THE PINK RANGER, AND TOMMY, THE GREEN

RANGER WERE MEANT TO BE.

12. YOU COLLECTED POKEMON CARDS.

13. YOU PLAYED AND/OR COLLECTED POGS.

14. YOU HAD A WEIRD ALIEN THAT LIVED IN GOOEY STUFF IN A PLASTIC 'POD' AND THOUGHT IF YOU STUCK 2 BACK TO BACK THEY WOULD HAVE A BABY!

TURTLES.

16. YIKES PENCILS WERE THE BEST!-WHAT HAPPENED TO THEM?

17. YOU REMEMBER WHEN THE NEW BEANIE BABIES WERE ALWAYS SOLD OUT

18. YOU GOT YOUR MUM TO BUY 'BN' BISCUITS

19. YOU USED TO WEAR THOSE STICK ON EARRINGS, NOT ONLY ON YOUR EARS BUT AT THE CORNERS OF YOUR EYES.

20. YOU KNOW THE MACERENA BY HEART.

21. “TALK TO THE HAND" ENOUGH SAID.

22. YOU REMEMBER THE TIME BEFORE LITERACY AND NUMERACY HOUR

23. THERE WAS A TIME WHEN YOU THOUGHT BRAIN FROM "PINKY AND THE

BRAIN" WOULD FINALLY TAKE OVER THE WORLD.

24. YOU REMEMBER BUM BAGS.

25. YOU ALWAYS WANTED TO BE ON FUN HOUSE

26. YOU COLLECTED TAZOS.

27. 2 WORDS, SPICE GIRLS.

      Radio 1 Schedule Changes

      By Dan18F1 · Posted

      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?

      Radio 1's Big Weekend 2024

      By Jono · Posted

      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?

      Jordan North's first Capital Radio breakfast show

      By coffeeandgin · Posted

      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.

      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.

      The eighth floor

      By Lily Georgia · Posted

      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.

      Rylan and Scott

      By xxladybarefootxx · Posted

      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.
