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.

    • OJ Borg is in for Trevor Nelson on the Rhythm Nation tonight (with Phill Williams on overnight). He's also in for Michael Ball for the next two Sundays (12th and 19th May). Ros Atkins (BBC's Analysis editior) is in for Jeremy Vine on Thursday. Another new name to Radio 2 is Oliver Hides from BBC Radio Wales. He sat in for Owain Wynn Evans yesterday and he's in again this Thursday (9th May) and Bank Holiday Monday (27th) Spoony in for Scott Mills from Tuesday 28th till Friday 31st May.  
    • Thought they would make it easier to get to this event. There's been no communication from the council or organisers about travel, even though there's talk of train strikes. Smaller councils have done a better job. 
    • They do sound good together, but I'm not sure Rylan will want the extra commitments. 
    • I have accepted Chris is unlikely to join Scott's show, and that Chappers has moved on, but I still think he could do with a co-host. The most logical solution, I think, is Rylan. He appears more often on his show than not, and they are great together. Radio 2 could lose Rylan's Saturday show and extend his reach by appearing during the week. I think they'd be great!
    • Tattoo took a while to grow on me. I couldn't see the fuss until weeks after. We have a split household here where the war on Gaza is overshadowing an enjoyment. I'm hoping for a protest of some sort. 
    • I've heard that the staging is very impressive.  That and him being "known" might prevent an embarrassing result.  I'm a terrible judge of Eurovision though as Tattoo is still so very meh to me.
    • Feels like after the success of Sam Ryder we are going back to our old ways. Olly Alexander's song is pretty weak. Anyone fancy our chances this year? 
    • The more time goes on the more you think if they'd actually put some thought into it it should've been Vick & Katie from the start. A proven pairing and Katie ended up on the show anyway - whereas Katie's even mentioned she was only asked to join after the Jamie announcement And even by Going Home standards on time off, it's quite funny that a few months in we still haven't had a full week of the supposed line-up - and that's with a 4-day week.  
    • I heard something about what is your favourite wood? Wtf 😂
    • Was the same vibe on the Easter Monday show they did too. Just random questions and the like…. Katie is definitely the glue around making the show listenable. 
    • Vick and Jamie together are quite… awkward. Random discussion seems to be at an all time high without Katie. Maybe it’s just that there’s a lack of features today.
    • Jamie not even knowing about the big weekend day and the fact he starts the show at 14:00 just says everything.
    • I still haven’t forgiven Radio 1 for signing Laing. Vick and Jordan was good, you could hear the chemistry on air 
    • I just want to add though that I am beginning to enjoy the show a bit more now that it’s settled in - I think Jamie (when he’s there) has calmed down a bit and then the new features that have been progressively added over the last couple of weeks have been good too.    I still don’t think it’s a patch on Vick and Jordan together, but it is now a show that seems like it could have legs into the future and once Matt and Mollie start in July, I could see myself sticking with R1 all afternoon.
    • I think it’s a slimmer line-up and seems to fall short in previous years where it seemed almost double that I know Raye is booked to perform and is a headline name. I think the issue with a station like capital they are dealing with a rather lacklustre year for pop and theres no real big pulls for pop festivals that are an easy sell out right now. I think Capital has had seen it’s Capital Ball’s as for any generic pop music listener I don’t know whether Bradley Simpson, Aitch and Paul Russel have the universality to play in a stadium even Sugababes think it would be better if they chosen a smaller outdoor location or Wembley arena.
