Yeah, just a bit... I mean, there's a speed limit, so why do cars need to go any faster than that? A car is just a method of transport, modding cars and buying really expensive cars is rather pointless.

jono cant stand fast cars but he probably likes barbie.

anyway it depends on what you think.

to hear people talk about what is chavy these days is a joke becuase the real definition of a chav cant afford a car let alone a fast one.

saxo's and punto's etc that think they are fast and make out to be fast with all this spoiler crap like half of this max power bullsh*t brainwashed crap. is chavy yes.

but when you are talking some of the cars say in jamiroquai's collection. then a chav cant count that moneysworth.

bentleys are related to the rich and they are very fast.

i wouldnt expect you to be into cars, but you've got the wrong attitude on them. Cars to me is a passion, something that i wanna put all my money into! call me your ordinary stereotypical lad but cars mean a lot to us guys, its not just a method of transport, its a status symbol

say you have a tvr/porche/ferrari or any other high performance supercar. then it dosent mean that you have to attempt to break the sound barrier with it on the m1.

it is the fact that you are driving somthing special, that you enjoy and want. it it the fact that you own a car that can do what it can do.

I knew you wouldn't like my comments :-p I was waiting for you to reply to this thread...

No, I agree that when people have those old bangers that hardly work and they mod them up with stuff they've stolen off other people's cars and they turn up their subwoofers and blast out their bass "boom boom boom boom" and meanwhile the car's crawling along with bits falling off and rust on it, they just look like ****ing chavvy idiots.

But I do respect that it's something you're passionate about and that's alright. I mean if your engine works then I guess modding the car isn't a problem. But if the car is crap, just accept it.

I dont know my Cars very well,but try living in a very highly elite area of Harrogate on the otherside of the road to a council estate.They use our area to cut through into town at night and its not a nice wakeup call when your Half asleep.

I know you don't have a crappy car, and I'm pretty sure you're not a chav.

It's just I see them with their little C reg pieces of junk rattling along the street with the bass blaring and the little flashing lights and spoilers and bits hanging of them and alloy wheels and I just wonder why they don't invest in a new engine, or even a new car...

Yeah, Geezer, I see a lot of chavs in those little orange cars, that's the type I mean.

So by virtue of being your car, it's not chavvy... :-p -- seriously, I don't think your car is chavvy...

"He might be one of those boys that's all pretty and vain

And likes to go on a sunbed

Stays out of the rain

So that he don't get his hair wet

'Cause you wouldn't want that

At least he aint got a Nova

Or a Burberry hat

I think the Arctic Monkeys summed it up very nicely there what makes a chav... Nova and Burberry hat. One of my favourite Arctic Monkeys songs there.

      Going Home with Vick, Katie and Jamie

      By R1Fan1 · Posted

      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.

      Do these audience figures reflect Jordan leaving and Jamie replacing him?

      I think Jamie is really starting to settle into the role well. He comes across as really warm, and genuinely invested in the listeners when he’s talking to them which is nice. I think he’s building a really great relationship with Vicki and Katie too. His recent great company podcast is great too, where he has quite a deep chat with someone new each week. He’s clearly a very genuine person and I think he has some real potential.

      Most probably. But do wonder what the future of the relax themed programmes will be when they officially wind down that service.

      I think it's just to replace Wind Down presents... which was in that timeslot, and I'm guessing Chillout Anthems was just a buffer since it'll still be played at 06:00 on Sundays.

      With listening on the U.K. for the industry in general it is good overall as most stations reach is on the up and shows radio to be more sustainable and stable outlet than linear televisions channels. This RAJAR I think with the increase shift to DAB+ the BBC will be able to say it has it’s audiences for the proposed new stations it wishes to launch and think the new innovative ideas that it seems Jack himself can take credit for on the new music show think the younger under 30 gen z demographic could increase se in that time-slot.

      Rajar looking healthy this quarter, with the numbers staying fairly stable.

      It's made it into the Daily Mail as another reason to bash the station. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13417631/bbc-radio-2-facebook-tiktok-instagram.html

      I expect that the axing of Chill Out Anthems may be related to the decommissioning and shutfdown of Radio 1 Relax. I assume soon BBC could announce or make official when it’s going to be shutdown

      The next RAJAR will be putting a lot of pressure on Aled. Will his decisions over Danny Beard and Jamie Laing and to lose Jordan North pay off? If not, it is likely bosses will be looking for his successor.  I am interested to know what fans of the station think?  Ian Chaloner who worked for Greg, Scott and Grimny before rising through the ranks must stand a chance. He is now mainstream editor.  An outsider choice but Greg's former producer Chris Sawyer would be great. He has the creativity and has held the ship well on breakfast. Although I know he is no longer with them.
