but the crap performance england put into the world cup lead to them getting knocked out. and losing michael owen in that way really pi*sed me off. but non the less it has been great for me working in radio this year and i had a half decent summer. but to be honest overall it has been crap.

on the grid.

Well, I joined the site in March, which was a huge plus for me. I suppose downsides include my great grandma dying in Febuary, having my knee problems (which are getting better, thank God!) and (sorry) the whole Richard Hammond thing. That did make me sad, but he's getting better now and it's been announced that Top Gear will be back on the 28th of January! That made me very happy. :woo: <--- See?

It has been a bit crap, Ive had makeups and breakups, drama's and bananrama's?

Okay ill stop with the rhyming thing haha

Ive been able to experience stuff which I thought I wouldnt be able to, staying with a french family for 2 weeks in the middle of the alps in February was probs one of my highlights, being able to go skiing nearly everyday and having mountains on your doorstep. Okay I didnt get on with my exchange but I had a good time.

You cant get anything better than this! (That was the view from my bedroom in france!)

Spending alot of time with my family this year has meant alot, ive realised how much you have to value the little time you spend with them and Ive learnt that like with my gran. And its also good I have one of my cousins near me now, because they're like brothers and sisters to me.

Being able to go back to Berlin meant alot too, Dads birthday surprise and it really was, ok we only spent a couple of days there but It was good to go back and see our old Flat.

But theres been downsides, ive been really ill and I wasnt really expecting it to drag on like this, and all my friends have been so so supportive of me and I love them so much!

Im just hoping 2007 will be alot better for me healthwise as its a big year for me and I dont want to ruin it.

I'd say 2006 for me has had it's highs and lows.

Low - running out of money, living like a hermit for ages

high - solving debt problem just recently and getting myself back on my feet.

Oh and another high - finding this place and all the lovely people on here.

Sometimes here, sometimes not.

    • What I assume is a very last minute change... Scott Mills is in for Rylan today.
    • Radio 1 at Parklife will be presented by Vicky and Nat. Nat is currently listed to present her usual Sunday show on that weekend but I imagine that will change and someone else will be doing it instead. The Radio 1 presenters at Download will be Daniel P Carter, Jack Saunders, Alyx Holcombe and Nels Hylton.
    • Nat in for Dean with Vicky as well that day.
    • So the end of weekend afternoons this week - new show is July 1st.
    • Arielle is in for Greg on Monday 27th May.
    • 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.
