Hola,

New here, only just got ADSL - WILL NEVER SLEEP AGAIN!!! Feeling 'Sean-of-the-Dead-ish' already! Zombie alert!

Maybe a bucket of Pinot Grigot might do the trick.

Sure I'm not the first to say it, but Chappers IS the poor man's Daniel Craig. This is meant as a compliment, incidentally. Certainly NOT saying I'd like to see him emerging from the waves in speedos though, JODER! (Look it up Spanish-Eng dictionary). It can't be denied, however, that there is a 'frisson' of the Craig there. Anyone agree?

On another theme, I'd be delighted to show Scott around La Nogalera in Torremolinos! Dark places, you're on your own though mate!

Have been living in Madrid and Malaga for 10 years, and this is my first contact with the outside world! Love being here; what's not to love about my free tan, natural blonde hair and sea-view, but have missed British radio, tv, culture sooo much. Hablo Espanol tambien!

Glad to be back.

LOVE YOU,

Nx

From the thread title, and the layout/style of the post, I thought this was spam at first. In a nice way :)

Hi and welcome, good to hear from you in sunny Spain.

Okay original poster, it's off-topic but tell us more about yourself. How did you find out about Radio 1 in Spain and what does your user name mean?

Ooh i can tell you about his user name.

I assume it means King Tuts Wah Wah Hut. Its a famous music venue in Glasgow, where Oasis were spotted by Alan McGee

Smoke signals of course, we don't have much technology down here in these parts.

Sorry, truce...? Less sarcasm.

Was brought up in London, went to Uni in the fantastic city that is Glasgow (hence KingTutsWWH, could've been Volcano though), then moved to Spain. Always been sadly obssessed with new music. Scott's humour is a bonus.

Ah, don't worry about the sarcasm, it's perfectly normal here. Just don't be too mean, we're actually a nice bunch of people, despite what Chappers says!

Welcome to the site, by the way. I'm Kelly, Unofficial Mills' resident crazy fangirl. :)

Give the girl a lolly!

Thanks for noticing Stacey. King Tuts, Barrowlands, Del Monicas, The Art School (where I was a barmaid for a while), The Arches and the QMU are all places that shaped my life. I miss Glasgow a lot. Not the climate though.

Expect it's changed a fair bit. The Volcano's been demolished I hear. Shame.

I'm a 'she' by the way.

Hello Kelly, thanks for the kind welcome. At least SOME people can be civil!

Hi Tim, Think there might have been volcano under castle in Edinburgh loooooong ago - talking Ice age-ish. Glasgow Volcano was amazing club where Bobbie Gillespie DJ'd every Sunday night and I watched the lovely Euan McGregor filming the club scene in Trainspotting. Showing my age now!

Nope, sorry. In a huff now. Going to bed. Have to sleep off the effect of those elusive mushrooms(?), and think up some more spam for Jono.

Buenas noches

    • 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 ?
