Our guildhall is already no smoking, not that it stops anyone; it's quite hard to enforce.

Bleugh, yeah.

Lyndsey's trousers were nearly set alight by one.

Came home smelling of cigarette smoke, beer (MAJORLY) and pot.

Yum.

Newspaper taxis appear on the shore,

Waiting to take you away.

Hmm, someone just gave me free tickets to go support some local bands in May. Free gig? Yes please!

Sometimes i think these types of gigs are far better than the big bands. Cos you go with pretty much no expectations, so if theyre crap then fair enough, if theyre excellent, then it makes for a really good night. And bands like that appreciate their crowd, genuinely.

At the Little Man Tate gig I went to, they were selling 2 pint glasses of beer. The guys in front of us had 2 of them each. So there was rather a lot of surplus beer which was being thrown about. I was wearing a white t-shirt. Clever...

I saw some small bands recently. We paid a fiver and got to see 4 bands. 2 of them were a bit crap but the first and last one were really good. It's good because it's no more expensive than going to a club and you can discover a great new band out of it. Dartz! are really good, if anyone sees that they're playing. Also you can meet the bands afterwards if you want to, so it's more interactive and personal.

Sadly all alone as far as I know at the minute but have hopes of persuading a friend from down here to come with me...I was going to say I'll wave if I see you but unless you're holding a picture of your avatar I won't see you, of course. :D

Wonder if anyone else from here will end up going?

I thought you said you were oging on the Saturday though? So I wouldn't see you anyway hehe

And I know "Kiwi Lid" is going on the saturday for the who and the view

Not sure when he was online last though... I'll ask him on msn later if it's the saturday he's going

Also, on the topic of smelling of smoke, I hate it when my parents jump to conclusions too.

O yeah - forgot..it's been a hard day, sorry. :cry:

It works the other way too with the smoke, I smoked when I was 16/17 but could put on the innocent eyes and say "I only reek because the place was full of smokers". Not that I condone lying to your parents, of course. Just that at that time it seemed necessary.

I'm going to try for the ballot for Live Earth even though I really don't like Madonna. Wonder how many tickets each person will be allowed to buy?

UM is a nice place

"On July 15th a monumental event is taking place. Not one, not two, but three legendary acts - DAVID ESSEX, THE OSMONDS and THE BAY CITY ROLLERS are going to be appearing on the same bill at the historic Blickling Hall."

Well they've convinced me. I'm there...

My Mum was there last night! Although Showaddywaddy and David Cassidy were also there. Apparently David Cassidy cant sing anymore and the Osmonds arent as hot as they used to be...

Oh also! I went to The Dykeenies instore gig in Glasgow earlier. You may know them, you may not, but theyre a good little band. Being the disorganised people we are, we didnt have time at the beginning of the week to go down and get our wristbands for it, but we went anyway and chanced our luck. But the security guy was lovely and let us in the back :D Apparently we dont look old enough to work for NME... but it was good nonetheless!

Oh god ! :( Those acts were bad enough the first time! :(

    • I agree Scott has always been a good standalone presenter, but always better when with someone. When chappers left the radio one show it felt a different show and Chris joining was what it needed and brought new life. for the format of the radio 2 show Scott’s show fits well with the station but again, there’s the huge gap between radio1 and 2 As been said already old radio2 listeners feel it now feels too young with latest changes, yet old radio1 listeners still feel radio 2 feels too old. The inbetween stage demographic of too old for radio 1 but too young for radio 2 is still not catered for radio 2 was left to grow old with its audience for too long and to change things up now feels to try and change a brand image the right thing to do is leave it as it is and cater for that 1.5 demographic which I’m sure the new proposed 00s and 10s station will do if approved. Problem is it’s so overdue that by the time it gets off the ground these listeners are already likely to be lost and the changing image of radio2 likely to lose what it stands for as a brand with the “it’s too young now “  moving to boom and the “ it still sounds old “ crowd not able to move with their favourite presenters like Scott so finding themself on capital a radio 1.5 would have been perfect for Scott and Chris, seems unlikely but this is why I think who branding of bbc radio needs a rethink if these new stations get off ground
    • Bank Holiday Monday Schedule 6am-10am: Arielle Free in for Greg 10am-2pm: Dean & Vicky (No Rickie, Melvin & Charlie) 2pm-6pm: Vick & Jamie (No Katie) 6pm onwards: As normal.
    • Dare I say they've sounded great this past week?  Very much gelling.  Maybe less pressure?  Seem to be having a genuinely good time and not forcing things.
    • I'm in the minority in my workplace, most of them love country music.  Me, the American, does not care for it.  That said, I haven't haaaaaated some of the country adjacent stuff that's been on the R1 playlist.  
    • The Eurovision semi finals are on from 8 to 10pm on Tuesday 7th and Thursday 9th May with Richie Anderson. That means Sara Cox in on till 8 on those days.  Saturday 11th May is Eurovision 'Super Saturday... 1-3pm Your Ultimate Abba song with Gary Davies  3-6pm Michelle Visage's Eurovision All Stars 6-8pm Eurovision Request Party with Owain Wynn Evans 8pm Eurovision Grand Final with Scott Mills and Rylan Clark  
    • It is funny because everyone thought Matt was on the way out, now he's been described as the heir to Mills.
    • Some similar names to Big Weekend.  Sabrina Carpenter, David Guetta, Perrie, Bradley Simpson, Jax Jones, Caity Baser, Benson Boone, Rudimental. David Guetta is a good name. 
    • Still Scott for me. I'm not too much into the 70s and 80s radio 2 play but do love the injection of 90s and 00s. Then Radio 2 push for all this country stuff and it not a UK thing, and I frankly don't like it. Scott's show as in features, hit and miss. I like the music police bit, but it feels like someone needs to join him. It's a shame Chappers is so busy with sports, as it feels like it could do with someone like him jumping on to help. Or a new partner. Radio 1, take or leave. Matt and Mollie are OK from what I've heard and share a good connection, but it's the playlist that throws me off. They could bring back Chris Moyles to do that show, but as soon as something like Headie One comes on with that casino keyboard produced crap. It would still be switched off from me. 
    • Reading through this thread, I don't feel quite so alone now, in thinking that Scott Mills on R2 is not a good 'fit' (even less so than on R5).  I can't quite explain why this is so - I just know it to be so.
    • Arielle has been on holiday for the last 2 weeks getting married / honeymoon.  It'll be live from this week onwards.
    • CassKidd is in for Sian on Sunday 5th May.
    • The brought to tiers feature was also very good from them. I did wonder which DJ's were going to get picked out of the hat, that could have gone one way or the other and the caller said they were very opinionated lol. Correct decision putting katie in god tier!
    • The extended Dua Lipa track from M&M was very funny. I'm hoping Matt and Mollie and Scott have a good relationship a bit like Greg and Zoe collaborate on-air sometimes.
    • Gary Davies in for Vernon Kay tomorrow (Monday 29th April).
