yes i agree. but people should be allowed to watch it without being told they are wrong.

flashbacks of those horrid viv days.

Who's Viv? No, the quote is about that football is much more important than mere matters of life or death - can't remember who said it now but it was a choice bit of football wit at the time.

UM is a nice place

Found the quote:

"Someone said 'football is more important than life and death to you' and I said 'Listen, it's more important than that'." — Bill Shankly, 1981, on 'Live from Two', a Granada Television talk show hosted by Shelley Rohde"

shankley is a legend.

on the grid.

Evening all, I've just had to pay a £6 library fine because I thought a book was due back at 10 tonight, but it was actually 10 this morning! :oops: It wasn't even the right version of the book I needed, so I didn't end up using it! :roll:

How is everyone?

Your library is open at 10pm? That's some serious book readers out there.

Any one had exams today? My sister has her Psychology AS Level exam. I'd love to do that again, they seemed so much fun compared to what we do for A2

HI Bexy! That's a very heavy fine...over a third of the cost of a bottle of JD :o

Late night library - very handy for keeping warm and saving on bills back at the flat, I'm told.

Haha, you can tell it's exam time, I'm not thinking of money in terms of alcohol anymore! :P

My flat is loads warmer than the library, and I'm in Halls so I don't pay the bills!

I like the fact Geri Halliwell wrote a song about the Spice Girls based on the title of Susan Jeffers' tapes! Hahaha.

Now we know why Laura listens to these tapes.

Oh yeah she talks about it in the diary doesn't she - "Geri left the SGs and she's ok" something like that can't remember exactly

    • 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.
