Conceived in the mind of young Jono Read

Whilst dressed in his favourite garb called tweed

Was a website of hi-jinks, laughs and thrills

Dedicated to a celebrity by the name of Scott Mills

In its critical acclaim and continued fruition

A forum was added for discussion and derision

Fun, frollicks and delight did thrive

In an era they relished: June '05

But it did not last and soon the forum was denounced as infantile and polite

Poor Jono could not contend nor dispute the fact that they were right

Gathering his senses, Jono set out to revamp

The once great website dedicated to the King of Anti-Camp

And so dear friends, the truth is revealed

But don't fret and keep your eyes peeled!

A new look is on its way to return to its height

A website nobody refers to as 'The Mills Fansite'

Dear Serin, you have too much time on your hands,

Why not collect stamps or join some bands?

If you really want the golden era back from Unofficial Mills,

Visit your local chemist and ask for several boxes of pills

Serin, that's a quality bit of rhyme

I'm sure I could write better if I had the time

When I first read it I felt thrills

Learning the history of Unofficial Mills

This is an old topic now revived

I'm glad because otherwise I'd have been deprived

Of the talent of the forum lot

But sadly I've got writer's block

This little poem is going swifly downhill

I seem to be somewhat lacking in skill

So I will end it now and lead this thread

Before someone contrives to have me dead.

'Forget happiness I'm fine, I'll forget everything in time'

    • I think they should just bring that back as was. It's been nearly 20 years, so do it with a whole bunch of new DJ's. 
    • I think this year has taught us we know nothing 🙂 Nobody would ever have credibly predicted Jordan leaving and all the changes that followed.   I have another interest outside radio and it is exactly the same - the stuff you never expect to happen is exactly what does.
    • Yeah they make the weekend shifts go so much quicker. Like today, the piece about Matt falling asleep in the cafe was funny, it's clear to see why they're going to weekdays. It could well be they were thinking of Danny for it and like you say have decided against that, or like I said at the start it's James Cusack and the slow down on the announcement is him getting out of his contract. Remember he works for radio 1's main rivals. I think it's quite telling that he's doing more r1 cover than usual, tomorrow and then a further 3 weekend shows in a row
    • Nat in for Dean with Vicky between the 28th-30th May.
    • I suspect they’re gonna tie the announcement into something, or they’ve changed plans. I know we’ve said it as a joke but I wonder if Aled was planning on giving it to someone like Danny Beard, but he’s decided against that after the last few weeks. Seems clear to me, though, that if Jordan hadn’t left, then Katie would’ve taken Dean and Vicky’s slot and Matt and Mollie would’ve stayed on weekends, which probably explains why they haven’t picked a replacement yet. If it was going to be the obvious choice, I.e. James Cusack, surely they would’ve announced it by now..?
    • Yep think they mentioned that this is their penultimate weekend of shows but then they will also be on air during Big Weekend and they mentioned they'll be doing 'Party Anthems' on stage during Big Weekend which sounds intriguing. Will miss Matt & Mollie on weekends - they in particular have made that Friday afternoon slot their own - but they'll be great on weekdays. Do wonder if 'Summer on Radio 1' is just a placeholder name until they decide on who will cover the interim. While it's obviously not the case it does feel like they've forgotten there's that weekend afternoon slot to fill given no permenant presenter has been announced for it yet.
    • Zoe Ball is back on the breakfast show on Monday.
    • Just listening to matt and mollie at work and heard them say it's their second to last show on weekends
    • And Arielle mentioned in her Instagram post that her final early breakfast show is the 27th of June - the Thursday before Glastonbury 
    • 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.
