To all you people reivising..."Lets go revise, Lets go revisee" (Automatic Stylee) --its kept me sane over the past few hours!

Ive had a good day, managed to get rammed into rugby tackle stylee in PE, whilst a few of us were trying to catch a frisbee, felt like such an idiot and my arm has swelled up but doubt it will come to anything except a big bruise.

Wrote one essay tonight, yay! :-)

10 days left of Freedom before proper revision starts! :cry:

I had a nice evening! I finished work and then met up with some old work collegues for about an hour! Was nice to catch up. Boring for everyone reading this, but quite nice for me

Well, so far today hasn't been particularly wonderful for me... or the rest of my floormates for that matter, they all went out last night but I'm not entirely sure how much fun they actually had. Apparently one of my flatmates was throwing up this morning and another of my flatmates is ****ed off for a reason I haven't quite got to the bottom of yet. :-? Got back from my lectures at half 1 to find that my internet had been disconnected 'cos apparently I went way over the 100 megabyte traffic limit last night, and then had to enter myself in some stupid competition to do with the company who supplies the internet connection just to convince the guy on the computer helpdesk to connect me back up again this afternoon. Aaaaargh... bley 4oD, that's the last time I use it. Well, at least at uni anyway.

Just thought I'd let off a bit of steam there... oh well, the day's only half over, surely it can only get better from this point onward.

So save the last dance

For me my love 'cause I

I see you as an angel freshly fallen from the sky...

I've done two exams today; science and english. Like my sig says, I failed science miserably but I think english went well! I'm also slightly ashamed to admit that I spent £3.90 on the Top Gear magazine this morning. Which basically means I'm now broke.

I need your help...

Today I had a meeting about radio broadcasting in the school.

When I went there,I saw 3 form6 students sitting there and stared at me.

My friends and I thought that we should host a music program.But the teacher told me that one of those girls was going to do that.****e.And others would do a show about Vienna(weirdo) and interview with new teachers.I thought those ideas were crap,so I told her my opinion.The teacher seemed angry(I found that the ideas came from her later...), rejected my ideas and asked me and my friends to do the films/book review and could not play any songs because there was a music show already.(The other girls were tittering when they knew that they could keep on doing their stupid shows)

That doesn't make sense at all!

Try to think about it,what if the R1 boss asked Scott to host a politics program?

Think about it,I can say I really know a lot about music ,at least I feel like I could do better than that bitch.But now the teacher asked someone who doesn't read or watch films to host a BOOK/FILM REVIEW?R.I.D.I.C.U.L.O.U.S.

And when I asked her if I could recommend Mein Kampf(I don't really understand that book),and she said we needed to review some teen's fave.Lastly,she told me that I didn't have to do that if I hate it.

So please please please tell what can I do?Still do the show or not and what book or film I should review?thx

I'd say still do the show, and make it as good as you can, because the girls doing the music show will probably be crap and if you do a good job, you may be able to get their show at a later date. Any way into radio is good really :)

If you need ideas for books or films to review, buy a teenage girls magazine and they should review a few in there.

I'm quite gutted, my actual day at school yesterday was reallly fun. But I felt worse and worse as the day got on so now I'm sat here doing coursework on my lonesome. Going into school later for english and science coursework though. :(

I'd agree with funkyseaweed - get your foot in the door, don't worry about what they are asking you to do. Just be as good as you can be, which will be miles better than anyone else, and it will show. Keep plugging away, you have to start somewhere.

*falls in the door*

Me and a friend got very lost on our way home from Leeds..

Originally we had got a return ticket so didnt have to buy anymore, got through and saw the train for York which we believed was ours as we thought was going to stop at Home

Train set off, and when the ticketman came he broke the news that we had got on the wrong train!me and nats could of died and got very very worried. We asked where they stopped and he mentioned Knaresborough which is very close to Home but he wouldnt let us go any further the train as we had the wrong tickets. (My Mums complaining about it because its still the same amount of money etc)

So, he let us off at Crossley park, which is about 10 minutes from Leeds station and in the middle of no-where basically! There were no station people or anything and it was very derelict! And its full of chavs and everything!

The next train to Leeds was 4:25pm so we had to wait an hour in the cold for a train.

But after ages of waiting, the train didnt come and as more and more people arrived from like no-where we knew it was the right one!

Eventually the train came at 5pm, which meant we had stood in the cold for an hour and a half!

Then, when we got back to Leeds station the train to home was at 5:55pm, and that was ageeeeees away, so we sat down ate and paniced(Well I did that we were actually gunna get on the right train!) Then, I swear I actually swear I saw Scott, and said to a friend, look Scott's lovely and will reassure us we're getting on the right train, but cos I didnt have my glasses on me, and my Long distance sight is rubbish, It ended up that it wasnt him(but very much like him and I was gutted!) So I kept on asking people if we were getting on the right train because by this time, I really needed the loo as did my friend, there was no loo's anywhere(we had drunk too much coffee whilst waiting!) and our parents were very worried about us!

Anyways we basically just got home, no-one kept me any dinner so im having Fish and Chips. It took us 3hr's to get home! :cry:

What a day!

Ema, what a nightmare! But you coped, you got home, and you now know that travelling places you don't know by train holds no fears that you can't manage! Think of it as a growth experience!

well how many times have you been to leeds? i have found when i go to birmingham i have a set route now and i cant go wrong.

the one thing i want to do is go to birmingham at night, it's great in the day but it looks special for the nighttime. i will wait until i am driving though, becuase i am unsure about the train times and that for the night.

251 pages of this thread. we better not tempt it too much or olly or jono may come along and tell us we need a new one and close it.

Ive been to leeds loads of times just not by train much, and obviously if it was going to York then its gotta stop at home! And I live right by the train station. :cry:

Best bit was finding this notice that was going on about Security camera's when we got "chucked" off the first train, and we started just shouting "help, we're lost in the middle of no-where" trying to see if the security people heard us but they didnt.

And then these policeman came down and I thought "Oh god, mums called the police to find us.." but they actually went to see the chavs(who were very intimidating, I was scared!)

    • Tara Kumar is in for Alyx on Sunday 13th July.
    • Conor Knight & Lauren Layfield are in for Matt & Mollie on Monday 14th July.  Matt is solo on Tuesday 15th July.  Jerry is in for Mollie between Wednesday 16th & Thursday 24th July.  Maia Beth is covering Future Pop on Wednesday 16th & Wednesday 23rd July. On Sunday 27th July the Chillest Show is reduced to an hour, and 20.00-21.00 is a BBC Proms special with JADE. On Thursday 31st July 18.00-20.00 in place of Jack's show it's the Dance Party Warm-Up with Danny Howard (ahead of the Ibiza weekend).
    • Dean McCullough in for Greg w/c 4th August. James Cusack on EB.
    • Well looks like Mollie is off all month now so presumably a personal matter. 
    • Intrigued why Matt & Mollie aren't presenting breakfast on Monday, with James in for them instead (which has happened before).. or even James given a chance to present the breakfast show?
    • Sam & Danni seem to be down for Breakfast on Monday. James Cusack on Going Home. That’s another new name in the list of “people who have hosted Going Home in 2025”.
    • Wednesday, surely? But this is another mess, as this weeks Summer press release said it’ll be Sam & Danni no Jamie from the 28th - so it’s actually a whole week earlier!
    • Jamie Laing’s last show before his summer break will be on Wednesday 16th July.
    • I worked out once Scott spent 3 months of a year off his own slot in the Moyles days and more like 4 in Grimmys days, six weeks of his own holiday and projects, six covering Grimmy plus some ad hoc days 
    • Back on topic, I think there's quite a few of the current Radio 1 presenters who would be able to adapt to Radio 2's style in the future. It's more of question of how many of them will actually end up there. With much of R2's line up changed over the past couple of years, it's quite possible we won't see much movement there, and R2 management might even decide to look elsewhere to bring in new presenters in future.
    • With OJ covering on bank holidays. She is the best person for the job however... they're going to end up with a situation like Scott covering R1 breakfast back in the day, where she spends quite a bit of time off her own slot covering Breakfast, plus her own holiday and other commitments. She's been filming for something recently which has meant she's been off several days a week since May. She was off last week, on breakfast this week, OJ is on Mon/Tues next week, then She's off the following two weeks.
    • Looking back at this I would say now that Sara is the main cover - I think she has been reestablished as it now 
    • Purley on the R1 Dance station.. Someone on DS said don't expect to see any changes to the schedule on the new stations however if they are taking on Capital Dance with this, which they clearly are, which has live presenters 7am - 10pm except for the 11am mix then they'll surely have to have a proper scheduled set of shows. At the moment Arielle is the only "live" per say show and only "live" a few days a week with earlier shows being repeated Thursday Friday and Saturday. Connor and Charlie are clearly pre records but was this only for the time it was online only and they have already got a schedule ready to go on day 1? also of note is that Charlie is taking over a podcast as well as starting a new project with podcasting which makes me wonder if she is about to step back from Dance Anthems all together to concentrate on those and Connor takes over? So you could have Arielle doing 9-12 weekdays live then someone else 12-3 and Connor live 3-6 on R1D and doing Dance Anthems on a Saturday. 
    • As none of the Going Home Team aren't currently on the air, that's a bit if an issue. Considering most of the Dance DJs will be out there, I'm surprised none of them are being utilised to host the 1-4 slot that weekend.
    • Going Home presenters have done the last few years ?
