I've met Hayseed Dixie. And one of them kissed my hand. So there. :bah:

Oh and I got the Hives' autographs when I was at the V Festival 2 years ago as well, but they were being miserable buggers so I didn't hang around for too long.

So save the last dance

For me my love 'cause I

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

Not nearly as many as you Jono :P

|When you say "met" does that encompass everything from brushed past in a club through served in a shop, talked to at a party, dated, did it with,went out with before they were famous?

And can we count tenuous connections like "I know someone who knows someone who delivers groceries to their house?? :D :D

UM is a nice place

I've met Fred MacAulay (he signed my school homework diary :D) and Michelle McManus - I suppose they aren't proper celebrities, but Fred has slept in the same room as Colin Murray :D:D:D

Any tips on where/how to meet celebrities?

I have never seen any famous people when I have been in London.

I even made a point of walking the whole length on The Kings road once and still nothing.

I do have a very good friend who is an agent though and so I like to experience celebrity through her. She is Jodi Albert's agent and often goes out with Jodi and the Westlife boys. Also her best friend is Naomi from Eastenders and I have a picture of her at a party stood next to DanRad ;)

Kurt Cobain and Dave Grohl in scabby student council office when they played QM Union Glasgow Uni 1992. Saw it freeeee! Don't know how that concert was ever pulled off, but feel v fortunate to have been there. Lovely men.

This is most impressive

Have tonnes more, but then I'm old.

Just cos they're famous....doesn't mean they're any better than us, so what's the fuss?

I know that Keith Chegwin comes into where i work about once a month to record voiceovers for TV ads. He even sponsored my boss to run the London Marathon this year!!

Never actually met him though.

I Spoke to Scott Mills about 3 years ago when he was covering breakfast and did "Tedious Half Hour" which was really cool. I've also seen Chris Tarrant in a little village called Woolhampton which is about 10 mins down the road from me.

      Radio 2 Schedule Changes

      I must have missed that yesterday, sorry! Scott did make the same tongue in cheek comment on today's show about Rylan. It's a shame Rylan isn't the go to cover for Scott, I assume his commitments away from R2 prevent that. I enjoyed his last cover stint. Spoony is the go to stand in for the mid afternoon slot (he's covering again week after next while Scott's off getting married).   In that case, I think you're right!

      Not that last minute. Scott was talking about it on his own show yesterday, saying he and Rylan have a deal where they cover each other's shows but Rylan only covers Scott when he can be bothered!

      Sorry I should have been clearer, I meant daytime weekday. Weekend shows would count as a 'step up' from overnights for OJ.

      If we're counting the overnight slot, OJ Borg regularly covers weekend shows.

      The only weekday R2 DJ who would ever cover a weekend slot?!

      What I assume is a very last minute change... Scott Mills is in for Rylan today.

      Radio 1 Schedule Changes

      By TMD_24 · Posted

      Radio 1 at Parklife will be presented by Vicky and Nat. Nat is currently listed to present her usual Sunday show on that weekend but I imagine that will change and someone else will be doing it instead. The Radio 1 presenters at Download will be Daniel P Carter, Jack Saunders, Alyx Holcombe and Nels Hylton.

      Going Home with Vick, Katie and Jamie

      By R1Fan1 · Posted

      He’s definitely gotten better and the show has sounded fine this week. I think it been at its best when it’s been Katie and Jamie or Vick and Katie. Vick and Jamie are ok together, but I do think the show sounds better when it’s Vick and Katie and therefore I still don’t really understand the point of the trio.    Jamie is, however, a lot better than Danny Beard!

      The RAJAR coming on later this year reflecting later summer to autumn will be interesting to how it reflects Matt and Mollie in afternoons to the revised changes on radio 1’s new music slots and the schedule re-shuffling Radio 3 introducing a new slate of programmes. Then, later on this year have speech radio stations having domestic political coverage of the election but also America’s presidential election.

      Going Home with Vick, Katie and Jamie

      By xxladybarefootxx · Posted

      I actually caught snippets of today’s show, and I found it much better than the last time I listened. I have made it no secret that I like Jamie on the radio, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed Matt & him together last year. People have criticised him for not being relatable, but I have to agree with the comment above that I have always found him a naturally warm person to listen to. Maybe the going home set up was something that needed settling in and things are starting to take shape.  It must have been difficult for him joining an established duo in Vick & Katie to begin with.  Jamie was great on something songs today, fully engaged in the caller and sounded like a real presenter. Maybe he is doing as a lot of us hoped and really learning as he goes, how to do it properly.

      Agree with this. The anti-Jamie feeling was IMO quite influenced by the negativity around him replacing Jordan, since Jordan was exceptional and also universally loved. When people mention Danny and Jamie in the same sentence about bad hiring decisions I almost choke - Jamie may not be perfect but he's several leagues better than Danny already and has bags of potential. Danny is poor and has shown zero potential...

      Jamie started 4 March, and the figures only going up to 31 March, so it isn't reliable. But it has shown the numbers have dropped in afternoons compared to last quarter. It looks like it's Capital's gain.
