No, bras! Oh my god, I can't stand going shopping with her sometimes

I hate shopping for anything remotely underwear related with my mum, she thinks it's like mother daughter bonding time. I hasten to remind her that standing in M & S whilst she picks out granny underwear is, in no way, bonding, infact quite the opposite.

Parents and clothing is up there with bad dancing at weddings, showing baby photographs and parents who do nude shots or nude home videos. Eurgh.

My dad isn't so bad. He just has a tendency to wear slippers too much!

Noo! Richard off of the Feeling!

And Becky, I can't say I ever have done tracksuits. That's one thing I can thank my mother for, she'd never let me out the house in one.

I remember when full on tracksuits were in for girls! I never did follow that trend! Urgh.

It used to be dungarees for me when I was a kinder! haha

I went shopping with my Mum once, and she was like

"have this bra, this is nice"

"mum Iv not been measured recently"

"Oh well they don't do it here, I'll go ask for a measure at the counter"

"WHATTTT"

Hahaha! Sounds awful, I actually refuse to go underwear shopping with my motherage anymore, I make her give me the money and I go myself.

I bought a nice pair of jeans today. I showed my mum, who responded with, "yeah, they're not bad for workmen's trousers". Enough said, really. When I was a kid, the stuff my parents dressed me in was terrible. I got ridiculed by the other kids for it and I didn't own a pair of jeans or proper trainers till I was 10 or 11 and I had to have them for a school play, of all things.

My dad thinks brightly coloured flowery shirts are a good idea.

I'm glad me and my dad don't have the same size clothing. As whilst it'd be great to kit your dad in your old clothing, there's something discomforting about him wearing last year's range from H&M.

My parents clothing are actually alright! They know their limits i think... mum kits herself out in the sainsburys and asda range and dad shops in Next and Marks.

When i was younger though, my mum had a thing about me and my sister wearing dresses and frilly socks. Whilst my sister absolutely loved it, i loathed it, and would deliberately go out in the dirt and roll around just to annoy her haha.

So we've talked parents... any one you've seen recently in the streets you've had to look twice at because of their dress sense... or lied to your friends about how they look?

Speaking of safari you remind me of my old science teacher, if Emma's still on she'll back me up. Mr Scott, who always looked like he was going safari in beige short sleep shirts, and beige cord-type trousers. Was always very odd. I suppose it wasn't the worst teacher dress sense at school.

I love you.

I lie to friends all the time about how they looked. Thats probably a strong quality for being a bad friend, but because i dont personally like their clothing it doesnt mean they look bad. Obv if i KNOW they will be ridiculed, i will tell them.

Theres one massively overweight girl in my year who wears skinny jeans. She quite literally spills over. Cleavage on display, crack going with it. Eurgh, she repulses me.

Ah but do you just say that so you look better?

And similar to how Laura once told her boyfriend of the past he looked good, only so she knew no other girl would look twice at him, any one similarly guilty of that?

Haha good old Mr Scott. Yes I agree but not as fun as Mr Knight though, did you ever see his graph paper checkered type shirt? Ergh

If one of my friend looks a state I tell them and usually forget to sugar coat the truth :confused: Not too good when my best mate has a totally opposite style to me, but hey at least I'm honest and I get the different between "looking good but not anything I'd ever wear" and "looking like something the cat threw up"

But I'm not convinced and your hopeless hearts won't stick. For the first time I know, this is now who I am.

    • It’s not necessarily the fact that Jamie is posh. It’s that the show seems to be really keen to play on it. Within 10 minutes of their first show they were playing voice notes from his Celeb mates. Compare that to Vick and Jordan’s first week in September 2021; their first links were about Jordan’s awkward encounter with his plumber and Vick slapping a roast chicken.    And then on Monday this week, Jamie is sulking (exaggerated sulking admittedly) about something, this ultimately being that another of his celeb mates has cancelled his appearance on their show, and they’re literally reading out texts such as ‘I’m sure this is going to be relatable to the entire population.’
    • That’s a last minute change!
    • Jordan, Greg, they’re down to earth. That’s what makes them resonate so much with listeners.  
    • It's a bizarre thing though....it would be nice to hear a few more tracks from the past 10 years mixed into daytime. However, at the other extreme, I find it odd how often really old tracks come up on Anthems and even the likes of Soundsystem Party and Dance Anthems.   The odd throwback is great but sometimes it feels too much.
    • I do like Cat Burns but it’s a good point about the many artists on future artists and other specialist shows. If they manage to launch the ‘Anthems’ like sister station hope they make changes to the stations playlist.
    • Some shows do play some songs from pre-2018 regularly. Mainly Matt & Mollie and Radio 1 Breakfast. Also don't forget the shortened Anne-Marie - Ciao Adios which gets played every 26 seconds. 😂
    • I hate reverse snobbery and I post this reluctantly as we shouldn't hold Jamie's background against him, but I do think many listeners will find it hard to identify with Jamie.  One of the things that made Jordan so popular was he sounded like the mate you go for a pint with who always has a great story to tell.
    • Absolutely - life would be dull if we all liked the same things  
    • Dean in for Greg on Tuesday.
    • While it maybe doesn't the power it once has (where being on the A-List was a big deal), It's a big part of the station and I felt probably deserves it's own thread. Have to be honest I haven't been hugely enamored with the playlist in recent times. Radio 1 seem quite heavily wedded to it in weekdays (at least Monday-Thursday) which can lead to the station being repetitive if you listen throughout the day. Even a station like Capital who are known for their limited playlist seem to throw in some older tracks and artists ever so often whereas if it's not Something Songs, 10 Minute Takeover or Anthems you often struggle to hear a song from before 2018. The repetitive nature has been a thing for a while though to be fair - I recall early 2021 in particular it felt like Tiesto's 'The Business' and Olivia Rodrigo's 'Drivers Licence' were played every other hour. Also certain Radio 1 favourites seem almost guaranteed a slot on the playlist even if they don't actually appear to be wildly popular with the target audience to justify it. I get it with your Dua Lipas, Calvin Harrises, Fred Agains  and Olivia Rodrigos as they're all very popular but less so if it's say Cat Burns, Aitch, Royal Blood or Mabel. Which is fine to an extent as Radio 1 has often focussed on promoting new music but then you have great music by other new artists that just never makes it to the playlist as a result.
    • Yep I really struggled with Matt & Jamie which was a shame as otherwise really like Matt. Unfortunately it comes across on-air whether it's actually try or not that Jamie doesn't know a lot about radio and doesn't seem particularly desperate to improve either or if I'm being generous he's playing an act - neither of which particularly appeals. The everyman act can sometimes work but you need to have that natural likability and appeal for it to do so in the way that way Chris Stark did. I mean even towards the end of his stint with Matt Jamie was struggling with getting the Whatsapp number right which is a basic.
    • Have to say even if there is a good reason for Jamie to be off on Thursdays the optics of them a month in still not be able to do a 'normal week' of the scheduled team for a brand new show isn't great. And if Jamie was meant to be away on Thursdays clearly nobody let whoever runs BBC Sounds know. Who would've guessed from the Vick & Jordan days though that it would be Vick who's the everpresent so far (just kidding Vick - really rate her as a DJ and I know she has a lot of other engagements outside of Radio 1).
    • Sorry explain what you mean there please? Danny is unlistenable?? 
    • I dunno if it is me but even Vick and Katie don't sound as good in that slot alone as they did before. Maybe I have just fallen out of love with it all.
