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!

15. YOU WATCHED THE ORIGINAL POSTMAN PAT, FIREMAN SAM AND NINJA

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

EXISTED.

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.

28. FOOTBALL STICKERS WERE A MUST HAVE FOR THE PLAYGROUND

29. YOU REMEMBER WHAT THE ORIGINAL “TAKE THAT†LOOKED

LIKE!

30. You dreamed of being part of the Goonies!

I can relate to most of them!

      Summer on Radio 1

      By R1Fan1 · Posted

      When Matt covered breakfast on 22nd April, he said their new show was starting in 10 weeks, so that’d be the 1st July.

      Would love for it to be like the Summer Friday Thing that me and @DC were remisincing about recently. Lots of events going on that could easily form part of it.  https://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/summer/cardiff/thursday/1.shtml

      I'm guessing there is also a stack of weekend events like Glastonbury

      I think more likely it'll just be a temp presenter for weekends 1-4 to give Matt & Mollie time off, plus time to plan and pilot the new show.

      Yeah I don’t think they’ll be anything that drastic - maybe a week or 2 of cover on early breakfast etc, but maybe just having that weekend afternoon slot covered over the summer means they can put someone on from September who maybe isn’t available until then?

      But they said the main changes would happen in July.

      I wouldn't be surprised if they do this around June time: 05.00 Ore Olukoga 07.00 Greg James 10.30 RMC 14.00 VKJ  That'll probably happen (for my guess) from the 17th June. And for weekends: 07:00 Sam & Danni 11:00 Gregor Davidson 15:00 Charlie Hedges Maybe Fridays aswell: 07:00 Greg James 11:00 Gregor Davidson 14:30 Jack Saunders

      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.

      By Ash101 · Posted

      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?

      By ianwilk1999 · Posted

      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.
