Shut up, you try getting on these ticket websites at 9am when four big artists have gone on sale. It ain't easy.

haha. I knew this song was coming from the silence at the end. This song is so naff, but they keep playing it.

Okay guys, Scott wants to know what you thought of today, the week as a whole and the fortnight.

Thought today's banter was good.

Enjoyed Laura's Diary - different ending, if perhaps a little disappointing that no conclusion came from it! Guess that's the rubbish thing about a diary, it's not over until you die. Ooh er.

Melanie C was a good guest I thought. Enjoyed that.

Hoff Mania, another good one. Lost In Translation had me laughing. But Justin, let it all down. He blatantly wasn't up for it, but Scott did throw the right stuff at him.

Should have kept Mel C in I think.

Overall far better than the last breakfast show stint, which I thought lacked new ideas. This time it was fresh, well put together, and enjoyable on the whole.

I am however looking forward to laid back mornings and returning to not typing a reply to everything the DJ says :P

Well, Jono pretty much took the words right out of my mouth there, haha. Personally I've really enjoyed listening to Laura's Diary over the past 2 weeks but was also a little disappointed that there was no definite ending to it (although I'm assuming that Laura wasn't actually pregnant after all). The florist and American phonebook games were also highly entertaining, but Hoffmania didn't really appeal to me as much, mainly because I'm now sick to the back teeth of constantly hearing him mentioned on Radio 1. The Justin Timberlake thing today was a bit crap as well. But overall, a good 2 weeks' worth of shows. :D

So save the last dance

For me my love 'cause I

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

yeah, i'll be doing a few signings - not loads though...you should come x

Definitely do one in Nottingham, as lots of us UM members live around there!

Or if there's one in London after 16th December, that's good for me too ;)

The last ever Hoffmania (best quiz ever in my opinion) and they use the opportunity to let Chappers and The Hoff argue. Honestly boys...

Buy my book Buy my book Buy my book Buy my book Buy my book

Anyone else have boo-op-do-wop in their head? It won't go away! :-(

Very good show today! Quite emotional. End of an era with Laura's Diary and the end of Hoffmania. In my opinion there should be a weekly edition of this, daily would be too much!

Quote of the Day:

Chappers: Is it Julia Sawalha?

Caller: That'd be the name!

Brilliant.

Over all, a fantastic couple of weeks. I was loving the Melanie C references during Laura's diary. I think Laura and I should become friends (I'm not a stalker or anything)lol, and I can take her to some Melanie gigs. She would soooo love it. Omg, when Melanie turned up on the actual show yesterday I was actually shaking just like Laura. Definitely the most amazing highlight of the fortnight. Thanks Scott & Co!!! Luv ya.

    • Felt like there was a bigger emphasis on the other decades last year.
    • I remember Sian and Jack sitting in for Clara quite a lot.
    • I struggle to believe the entire DM article about Clara. This thing about no holidays and working bank holidays - certainly she wasn't doing that on her R1 show so must have been a broader comment about her overall workload. Also I'm not one of these people who thinks a 2 hour radio show is just 2 hours work per day, but really compared with the majority of people working full time 5 days a week it doesn't seem too bad, and most of us don't get a chance to stop work because we want to. Fair enough if she has mental health issues, completely understand why that mean the need to change / stop work. But as-written that article doesn't make me sympathetic!
    • Sting is the other headliner. I'd say that's about right for Radio 2, mostly 80's, 90's and 00's.
    • It depends on the presenter, the show and what they’re known for. If it’s a specialist DJ who got a show because of their reputation in the club scene and they’re not doing the clubs or a lot less because of family or other reasons, it may make sense to get someone in who’s current and fresh
    • I get all of that. But arguably when you have family commitments it seems that you have to step away. Should it be like that? Even Greg has had time off for mental health reasons previously, he's been open about it. 
    • Adele was more so she could spend time with her mum before she passed away. With the amount of upcoming presenters it did make sense why she didn’t come back but was pretty unforgivable she didn’t get a good bye show or even pop on with Greg.  Annie possibly for family reasons and has mellowed Grimmy had done his time on Radio 1 and no where else for him to go really Jordan I’d have thought not much has changed with his workload. Capital does more pre recording and split links work
    • Some talk in the Daily Mail about why she left.  https://www.dailymail.co.uk/home/you/article-13467157/CLARA-AMFO-radio-dj-set-record-straight-left-BBC-glad.html Is this why we are seeing DJs just vanishing from the station? Adele, Annie Mac, Grimmy, Clara, even Jordan?  
    • It's not just us geeks in the chat box, because over on the Greg James radio 1 breakfast show fb page I see there's plenty of listeners who rate James after this weekend. Comments saying the same
    • Pet Shop Boys, Snow Patrol, Sugababes, Pixie Lott, Travis, Shaznay Lewis, Craig David and Kim Wilde. Feels it has a slightly younger shift this year.
    • Love the creativity behind this. I just wonder how much demand there will be compared to just using Spotify? https://www.capitalfm.com/news/music/taylor-swift-radio-station/
    • I mean not everybody can just go to Spain, but also Scott and Sam requested phones off, so most people don't have their own pictures. 
    • Would have assumed there to be more presenters as guests given the career and friends Scott has. Not even sure Sara Cox was there unless noone has really posted
    • It looks a really beautiful place, so pleased for them both! Bit disappointed that there's no chocolate bar press pic 😉, but Scott was bound to keep it classy, and it looks like a really lovely day was had by all.
    • It did look so incredible with the rainbow colours in the background on the photo scott posted. Congratulations to them both
