Not lazy as such, I came to the library about one but I just have no motivation what-so-ever. Have only managed to go through two lecture's worth of stuff in that time!

How's your day been? Did your girlfriend get her work handed in?

God damn online player is playing nothing!! :sad:

What's theme hospital? The online player is working okay (ish) now I'm using WMP, it doesn't seem to like the Realplayer version though.

Choooon! Amazing live too, according to Jono! (I'm speaking on his behalf, as he's not here! :P)

Hello Derek, I don't believe we've met. How are you today?

It's 11:21 a.m. where I am, and yes, I try to listen as often as I can. Unfortunately, work often gets in the way. On a positive note, I work from a home office, so I have a little more liberty than if I worked in a proper office (with coworkers - yuck!)

Firstborn due 20 May 2008. Wish me luck!

Realplayer was really bad yesterday. At the end of newsbeat, it got stuck and replayed the same seven seconds over ... and over ... and over. I was updating my iPod at the time, so I had to listen to it until I could force Realplayer to quit and properly disconnect it from my PC.

What's this song?! I like it! Edit: it was Junior Jack apparently.

Good to have you on board Derek. What do you do in your home office, if you don't mind me asking?

Yeah, I know that Theme Park is. I used to have it on my Playstation, never really got into it though. :-?

Hi Bexy. Nice to meet you. I'm relatively new to the forums. I've been listening for about six months (since discovering Scott through iTunes).

do you listen to the live show or just the podcasts??

Sorry to be boring and typically British, but it is really windy here today! I nearly got blown over going from the library to the shop, which really isn't that far!

According to to the BBC site there's wind speeds of 40mph here? Is that classed as strong?!

That's an 8 (out of 12) on the Beufort wind scale. According to that scale, at 40mph, "Twigs and small branches are broken from trees, walking is difficult" but you already knew that.

    • I must have missed that yesterday, sorry! Scott did make the same tongue in cheek comment on today's show about Rylan. It's a shame Rylan isn't the go to cover for Scott, I assume his commitments away from R2 prevent that. I enjoyed his last cover stint. Spoony is the go to stand in for the mid afternoon slot (he's covering again week after next while Scott's off getting married).   In that case, I think you're right! 
    • Not that last minute. Scott was talking about it on his own show yesterday, saying he and Rylan have a deal where they cover each other's shows but Rylan only covers Scott when he can be bothered!
    • Sorry I should have been clearer, I meant daytime weekday. Weekend shows would count as a 'step up' from overnights for OJ.
    • If we're counting the overnight slot, OJ Borg regularly covers weekend shows.
    • The only weekday R2 DJ who would ever cover a weekend slot?!
    • 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.
