Howdy Mike!

Eurgh, I just had a thought that Mickey from Radio 1 is the sort to wear women's undies! Watch out Becky!

Please, let's not get into this again. :| You'll end up making someone physically sick. Although...

I've only queued in a shop once - it was for a pair of underpants following an unscheduled overnight stop. I finally reached the front, handed over the box, only to spot, as the cashier scanned the barcode on the back, that I'd picked up a male thong by accident. Too ashamed to cause a fuss, I paid and left.

With no choice, I wore the offending garment the next day for the journey home from Manchester. This meant riding for 200 miles on a motorcycle wearing what amounted to a personal bandsaw under my leathers.

From here. :D

I've got hiccups :(

I think we would all like to, what with all this crap weather.

Too true. My gorgeous best friend is holiday repping out in Fuerteventura at the moment, if anyone wants to go and see her then feel free! :D

Andrea Britton. Any relation to Fearne Britton?

Chopper made himself sound young then. "It was my name at school, before I came to Radio 1". Yeah like you instantly went from school to Radio 1. That makes him sound 25!

I want to do a 'latests posts in Your Views' sort of thing somewhere on the website. Not sure it's possible though. I think Your Views is seriously underrated, and needs to attract more visitors.

Convieneant that Chopper is now called Twanger in that link.

From Urban Dictionary:

"1. twanger

One who twangs, masturbator, jerk-off, w*nker."

I like the way Scott introduced it like a Live Lounge track with a load of silence

I do agree with you there, I voted for Your Views as my favourite thread in the UM awards. I like it because it's where everyone gathers together and it just so random sometimes. :)

Is there nothing like the text box on the R1 homepage you could use?

Oh dear god... what was that song?! Bless him... it's the thought that counts and all that!

    • 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.
    • Nat in for Dean with Vicky as well that day.
    • So the end of weekend afternoons this week - new show is July 1st.
    • Arielle is in for Greg on Monday 27th May.
    • 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.
    • Do these audience figures reflect Jordan leaving and Jamie replacing him?
    • I think Jamie is really starting to settle into the role well. He comes across as really warm, and genuinely invested in the listeners when he’s talking to them which is nice. I think he’s building a really great relationship with Vicki and Katie too. His recent great company podcast is great too, where he has quite a deep chat with someone new each week. He’s clearly a very genuine person and I think he has some real potential.
    • Most probably. But do wonder what the future of the relax themed programmes will be when they officially wind down that service.
    • I think it's just to replace Wind Down presents... which was in that timeslot, and I'm guessing Chillout Anthems was just a buffer since it'll still be played at 06:00 on Sundays.
    • With listening on the U.K. for the industry in general it is good overall as most stations reach is on the up and shows radio to be more sustainable and stable outlet than linear televisions channels. This RAJAR I think with the increase shift to DAB+ the BBC will be able to say it has it’s audiences for the proposed new stations it wishes to launch and think the new innovative ideas that it seems Jack himself can take credit for on the new music show think the younger under 30 gen z demographic could increase se in that time-slot. 
    • Conor Knight is in for Sam & Danni on Saturday 8th & Sunday 9th June. It's Radio 1 at Parklife, 13.00-16.00 on Saturday 8th & Sunday 9th June. Matt & Mollie are in for Greg from Monday 10th to Friday 14th June - it's just Matt on the Thursday. It's Radio 1 at Download, 13.00-16.00 on Friday 14th June.
