You don't really get to talk to any one. Well you could, but everyone is discussing texts, e-mails, talking to Newsbeat, deciding what music to play, finding clips, finding out when songs end, timings, content, etc. I only tend to speak when I think I've got something slightly useful to say.

Hi kids.

You alright? Just been on drinking spree with TOTDS and Scott. Fun times!

Anyway, I'm just wondering, based on a pub discussion we had. What would you do for a partner or love? TOTDS said his partner at the time had go to a Bruce Springsteen gig for three hours with him even though she despises it.

I'm writing this purely because I'm a bit tipsy, and we'll all forget this conversation in the morning

Did anyone hear Greg say thanks to this site this morning. How sweet :)

It was about 6.45 I think...

Bless Greg! I've not heard his shows this week because of sleeping at 5am, but I'll be listening again to that and clipping it.

When you get the approval of this site you know you're going places!

I had to call back some people who had Bob's and codenames in their phone yesterday. You'll be surprised how many people are "driving" or "working". I usually hate using phones, but I think I did it quite professionally. The nicest guy was actually the person who had put their bit on the side as "voicemail". Some fools on the text was like "that's stupid, when does voicemail ever ring you back...?!" Haha.

Much enjoyed sitting in with the Mills show actually. I know what I'm doing is nothing like what they have to do, but still, even the tough bits seem enjoyable.

Bird poo lady last night was opening five sachets of tomato ketchup, but appeared to have nothing to dip them in. Maybe it's what she uses to wash her hair with...

make out like you are employed there.

Oh I couldn't do that. I'd go mad doing as little as some of these people do. It's like "does any one know when the Avril live lounge was... does anyone know when Daniel Radcliffe's on" and it seemed to only be who knew.

Oh well I've labelled 250 mini DV tapes. I've been of some use. Maybe you can help me try to decipher what might be on these tapes.

I've got a "Master B'Ton 1" and a "Hedcam D'load PR1" and "Handicam FRYWA"

It's Will's archive, he didn't do filming then as he was producer of Moyles then.

And I don't think there's any show archives here. Although we might hear some stuff when they do some things for 40 years of R1

as i imagined. where do they record radio 1 then? and where is all the stuff stored? yeah i would love to hear some old mnl and moyles stuff on 40 years of radio 1. but they will pobably just replay the whole 'dj's go home' crap from 2005 or somthing.

on the grid.

    • 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.
    • 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.
