I know its a little early, but fathers day is on the 17th June. I actually have no idea what to get. My dad birthday is on the 18th too, double presents :(

So if everyone could just post what they got their dad, then i could nab some ideas and then my dad will think im super original! Ace.

So, what y'all getting? (thats cheap).

Father's day then Birthday.

You should buy him a pair of something... glasses, sunglasses, cufflinks, earrings, socks, trousers, gloves, shoes, handcuffs(?)... you get the gist.

I always get my dad a nice bottle of wine, that way I can benefit too.:D

Handcuffs? :shock: I dont know what you do with your dad! (gross)

Wine, i wish he liked that :( Hes a beer man, classy. At this rate he'll be getting a 24 pack of Tennants.

Euggghhh pleeeease! Just so the nice men in white coats could take him away peacefully. Doesn't everyone think their dad is mad?

I have absolutely no idea what to get my step-dad. We got him a Homer Simpson bottle opener last year, but he still has that, so he doesn't need another one. Thing is, everytime we ask what he wants, he always says not to worry about it. THAT DOESN'T HELP.

Fathers Day is on my birthday again..... :(

I think I'll just get my dad a card and leave the rest up to my sister to sort out. My dad thinks it is commercialised anyway so we don't have to get him much.

My dad said he wanted a motorbike, so whatever I get him will be rubbish in comparison, so I've put it this way- "What do you want that is either under £20 or can be stolen off the street?"

Yeah, i asked my dad last night what he'd like. His reply went a little like this: "Since its fathers day and my birthday kinda all on the one weekend, you could get me that 50" telly i was looking at". Yeah, dream on dear. Whether i but it or not, he'll get it sooner or later because my mum will be fed up of saying no. I dont know where the hell he thinks we're going to put it, the house is small enough already. In his poor little mind, i think he thinks we live in some sort of mansion.

Anyhoo, i should really sort out where im going to get money from first before even thinking about presents.

I got my dad some socks and a personal chocolate slate and fudge from Thorntons. Then I got him a card from Clintons with a "super dad" theme and it had a badge too, it was very glittery thats why I liked it :) It said in it "compared to you the other dads are pants" hehe

      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 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.

      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.

      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.
