Good for you Jono!

I'm a teacher, but if one of my students had this opportunity, first I'd ask how many tickets they had...take me please! I would certainly give them another few days extension for an event such as this!

Choose A, B or C

A) Lie and blag emotional/psychological problems (normally works well)

B) The dog ate/ Captain Jack and the Daleks pinched my composition

C) Tell the truth, and explain how much it means to you (even print off this thread, if you need to highlight its importance to you).

Good luck

Nx:)

You must go to the Big weekend. What are the real consequences of not handing in this piece until Wednesday maybe?;)

Write on the bley train, don't get too tanked up, Fax them it! Not advising taking your laptop to a music festival, probably not a good plan.

Don't know what decision you made Jono - you may be on your way up? I'm an ICT Teacher and as the coursework should have been with the Mod on Tuesday 15th May if you don't hand it in on Monday then it probably won't go off I'm afraid. What is really important is that you put something into each section - it doesn't matter how good your database is if you miss out bits of the documentation you will lose serious marks! How much have you got left to do?

If it is not a lot I think the suggestion to come up for one day is the best with your laptop to do it on the train. Then I would get it emailed or faxed to your mum first thing Monday to get it printed off/ taken into school.

Well it doesn't look like I'll be going, but I thank all involved for the tickets. It's a very kind gesture - and proof Unofficial Mills' community spirit is still alive and well.

As much as I'd love to have gone, I've got it all set to record, and will be having a huge coursework weekend.

The money I've saved from not going will go back to the website, and I'm pretty sure we can get a Scott Mills livechat going soon...

Peace be with you etc.

Sorry you didn't get to go Jono... now get off here and do your coursework! :bah: This is coming from the girl who should be revising right now...

Peace be with you etc.

Where did that come from? I just remembered that John sent me a text saying just that a few weeks ago, and I asked him what it meant. He just commented that I obviously wasn't listening to Scott, but didn't actually explain it!

    • OJ Borg is in for Trevor Nelson on the Rhythm Nation tonight (with Phill Williams on overnight). He's also in for Michael Ball for the next two Sundays (12th and 19th May). Ros Atkins (BBC's Analysis editior) is in for Jeremy Vine on Thursday. Another new name to Radio 2 is Oliver Hides from BBC Radio Wales. He sat in for Owain Wynn Evans yesterday and he's in again this Thursday (9th May) and Bank Holiday Monday (27th) Spoony in for Scott Mills from Tuesday 28th till Friday 31st May.  
    • Thought they would make it easier to get to this event. There's been no communication from the council or organisers about travel, even though there's talk of train strikes. Smaller councils have done a better job. 
    • They do sound good together, but I'm not sure Rylan will want the extra commitments. 
    • I have accepted Chris is unlikely to join Scott's show, and that Chappers has moved on, but I still think he could do with a co-host. The most logical solution, I think, is Rylan. He appears more often on his show than not, and they are great together. Radio 2 could lose Rylan's Saturday show and extend his reach by appearing during the week. I think they'd be great!
    • Tattoo took a while to grow on me. I couldn't see the fuss until weeks after. We have a split household here where the war on Gaza is overshadowing an enjoyment. I'm hoping for a protest of some sort. 
    • I've heard that the staging is very impressive.  That and him being "known" might prevent an embarrassing result.  I'm a terrible judge of Eurovision though as Tattoo is still so very meh to me.
    • Feels like after the success of Sam Ryder we are going back to our old ways. Olly Alexander's song is pretty weak. Anyone fancy our chances this year? 
    • The more time goes on the more you think if they'd actually put some thought into it it should've been Vick & Katie from the start. A proven pairing and Katie ended up on the show anyway - whereas Katie's even mentioned she was only asked to join after the Jamie announcement And even by Going Home standards on time off, it's quite funny that a few months in we still haven't had a full week of the supposed line-up - and that's with a 4-day week.  
    • I heard something about what is your favourite wood? Wtf 😂
    • Was the same vibe on the Easter Monday show they did too. Just random questions and the like…. Katie is definitely the glue around making the show listenable. 
    • Vick and Jamie together are quite… awkward. Random discussion seems to be at an all time high without Katie. Maybe it’s just that there’s a lack of features today.
    • Jamie not even knowing about the big weekend day and the fact he starts the show at 14:00 just says everything.
    • I still haven’t forgiven Radio 1 for signing Laing. Vick and Jordan was good, you could hear the chemistry on air 
    • I just want to add though that I am beginning to enjoy the show a bit more now that it’s settled in - I think Jamie (when he’s there) has calmed down a bit and then the new features that have been progressively added over the last couple of weeks have been good too.    I still don’t think it’s a patch on Vick and Jordan together, but it is now a show that seems like it could have legs into the future and once Matt and Mollie start in July, I could see myself sticking with R1 all afternoon.
    • I think it’s a slimmer line-up and seems to fall short in previous years where it seemed almost double that I know Raye is booked to perform and is a headline name. I think the issue with a station like capital they are dealing with a rather lacklustre year for pop and theres no real big pulls for pop festivals that are an easy sell out right now. I think Capital has had seen it’s Capital Ball’s as for any generic pop music listener I don’t know whether Bradley Simpson, Aitch and Paul Russel have the universality to play in a stadium even Sugababes think it would be better if they chosen a smaller outdoor location or Wembley arena.
