I was suprised at the amount of people my age who don't know who the Chancellor of the Exchequer is. I have a fair idea of who most people are, but up until recently I thought Sinn Fein was an actual person.

Oh and I never knew who John Simm was until a few weeks ago. I've seen him in things but never put the name and face together.

Haha! Oh god, that's hilarious! Seriously, if some of the people that lived near me read that, they'd probably collapse laughing. Sorry, I shouldn't laugh. I had no idea who John Major was until a few weeks ago!

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought that. I was put right at the age of about 11 though by my dad, who knows everything.

There's loads of TV personalities I've never heard of. I'd never heard of (Dr?) Gillian McKeith before she was on X-Factor with Moyles and the chances are I won't have heard of most of the people on any celebrity TV show you care to name. I also hadn't heard of Barry Scott of the Cillit Bang adverts until last year. A lot of the time I just pretend to know who these people are while looking them up in Wikipedia. I blame my parents, for not bringing me up with TV properly. I've only ever watched about 1 TV programme with my parents.

When it comes to politics though, I am pretty knowledgable because my family are into that kind of thing and I read the papers.

Gordon Brown ring any bells? Doesn't smile much, and wants to take over from TB...

I did A level Economics, so I had to know that.

Aside from celebrities, what about around the work place? Especially at school. I often wonder what half the people around there do. I think they make up job titles for people at school like some bloke sorting 'community relations'

Not to be confused with John Prescott, who does basically nothing except play croquet and have affairs. He's the huge fat one.

This is like a proper political education lesson! I know basically nothing about TV presenters and celebrities of entertainment though so I might need them explained to me.

In the Hall I live in at University (can't say which one) we had, until February, a Warden. I have no idea what the purpose of the Warden was, except to get grumpy if people walk on the grass or get dropped off on the wrong side of the Hall in a taxi. Anyway, the Warden has been removed on kiddy porn charges (it's not official, but we have heard from reliable sources). Now it is obvious just how little purpose he has. There's already a Hall Manager, and annoying woman who runs the place on behalf of the corporate profit-making side of the University, and a Senior Tutor who hands out fines to people like my neighbour. So the Warden has no purpose, that I can see, and we're much better without one. I only saw him about twice anyway, and can't actually think of what he looks like.

Until Big Brother I hadn't heard of Donny Tourette. Then again, I doubt many other people had either...

I had and so had a lot of people on the Camden music circuit. Towers have a very loyal band of followers, almost cultish. They have a record deal and had a TV show on Bravo, sort of rockumentary. I swear Jono bad mouths Donny just to annoy me...

I'd never heard of highly influential blues guitarist Stevie Ray Vaughn until this year, I'm embarrassed to admit. Also could not name any captains of England at any sports or Prime Ministers or Presidents of non-European countries (except the tragedy that is Bush that is). :oops:

UM is a nice place

LOL It was as in "There's a coffee shop down the road, wanna go for a drink"

My friend is male and they met on a buddhist retreat last year.

My friend said that he is so down to earth and just like a regular guy. I am sure they swapped numbers but my friend denies it and any time I have tried to get hold of his phone to look he is so on to me ;) (He probably has him under an Alias anyway)

      Yeah he's on more than usual including this Sunday and then 3 more shows in May according to the above. Makes me think it's James for the weekend shows also

      For some reason there is 'Summer on Radio 1' listed on Sunday 2nd June, could this be replacing M&M until July?

      Jordan North's first Capital Radio breakfast show

      By coffeeandgin · Posted

      Yep am very much Capital Breakfast now. Jordan, Chris and Sian are a great trio and it's got that feel of the old shows Jordan and Chris used to do on Radio 1. It doesn't take itself too seriously but is packed full of content and slick. With Greg he's great but 6 years in you've probably heard it all before plus frankly I can sit through the Capital Playlist a lot more easily than the Radio 1 playlist (where some of the inclusions and omissions can be quite baffling at times). Plus after things like the Oscars or Met Gala or if there's a particularly big TV show or film or popstar then Greg won't half wang on about it at times. I guess it's partly to be expected with it being a Breakfast show on a young station but it can feel very London bubble and get tired.

      Jordan North's first Capital Radio breakfast show

      I honestly never thought in a million years I’d move from Radio 1 to be a regular Capital breakfast show listener. But it’s got pretty much everything I want - 3 really genuine, entertaining mates having a laugh, playing silly games and it all sounds great. I became a big fan of Chris from his days with Scott, became a Jordan fan on Going Home, and Sian Welby is newer to me but is loads of fun too.  It’s great and I’ve shocked myself by transferring my listening at breakfast. For me Greg’s show now feels very tired and it’s time for something new. But with Jordan gone that’s unlikely to happen anytime soon. Greg’s had a great run and I’m a fan - but there’s no new ideas now. I still listen to Radio 1 at other times - but this show feels like very serious competition for Greg.

      The eighth floor

      By Lily Georgia · Posted

      They have built four new studios to increase capacity, alongside the existing six.  Bearing in mind that some of the output of R1, 1X, R2 & 6M comes from elsewhere, and Asian Network is gradually moving all output to Birmingham, this should be enough!

      How do they manage to cater for 6Music and Radio 2 on that floor? Did they adapt it?

      By Bluestraw · Posted

      I think we've all figured out now how much you like it @AndyK77 😂 Personally while I think it's by far the best show on the Capital schedule and better than its predecessor, it still has the shortened songs and other commercial-radio aspects that remind me why I'm a Radio 1 fan. No matter how well this has worked out for Jordan, and all credit to him for landing the job, I can't help but feel that a Jordan and Katie show on R1 breakfast would have been so much better!

      A few weeks in and I am actually loving the show and Jordan is a nice mix of his old chaotic self and dare I say it a slick jock.

      Rylan and Scott

      By xxladybarefootxx · Posted

      I really like Rylan, and as much of a fun idea it would be to have Scott and Rylan together, I think Rylan is too much of a main character.  Scott needs a side-kick rather than a full on co-host I think. That’s why he and Chris worked so well, Scott steered the show, and Chris was the perfect person to have alongside him.    I don’t religiously listen to Rylan’s show, but when I do catch it, it’s perfect weekend energy. He has a very warm presenting style too, but something makes me think he and Scott together every day would be a bit too much.

      So pleased for Scott on his best entertainment show win. As much as I miss his R1 style, he clearly puts so much into his shows, well deserved and it’s a big two fingers up to all the abuse he has had since joining R2
