Ooh I'm going shopping today. I don't know why that's relevent or why I remembered it suddenly.

I usually don't remember what I'm doing that day until about an hour later than this - oh to be young again!

Did you enjoy the ending of HP Grace? Was it better or worse than you expected?

Ha ha spoiler for the Simpsons now!

Haha, a bloke tried to plagiarise Jane Austen's work, and only one of 18 publishers realised when he put it under a fake name.

Well at least the BBC aren't keeping secrets from us all these days!

It was bloody good, a lot better than I expected.

Don't say I didn't warn you..

I expected Harry to die, but he didn't (well, he was killed but survived it, if that makes sense).

Although it seemed like she killed a lot of characters for the sake of it.

I think there's a budding role for the one that doesn't speak in Harry Potter.

Seriously when is the Simpsons going to leave the news? The newsreaders must have such an easy ride using those stories.

I don't know the characters but I know what it's like to be crazy for a series of books :). I read Wiki (Jono's suggestion) and found out who dies, it does seem a lot of characters to get rid of but then it's the last book so there had to be a big conclusion I guess.

Really going to shower now. Will try to comment later - still listening with the door open.

Maybe that's a new way to send people mad. Play ringtones and door bell noises over songs to see how annoyed people get.

Is it out of the blue for Westwood to play the suicidal song? Is that his sort of music? I'm sure I tuned in and he was playing that on Saturday.

(1) Ah, run around naked in the city on Fridays.

(2) Something to do with saying "I'm a wonka".

(3) Laura's Diary poem... I don't know... Anthony the piano teacher?

(4) Oh it's sport, I don't remember that cack.

(5) The woman from River City

I thought I did alright there. But clearly didn't impress Grace who has clearly fallen asleep :P

I think it's worth playing the 'argh' noises on my phone to my parents to wake them up.

Yes, I may be the slightest bit slow this morning.

Arggh, I just tried to pick my mum up and she mistook it for a hug, and crushed my skull into her collar bone. :(

Well don't try to pick your mum up then!

8 o'clock already. My eyes hurt!

Anyway I thought Scott was paid to like the Number 1, and rave about it. He does the chart show.

So Grace, was Ron the jokster in the book again this time? Did he have you in laughing fits?

My hair’s gone wrong, the “make your skin look younger” serum isn’t working and I have a spot which is taking the wanting to be young again thing too far!

Loving Scott so much though – it makes up for all the horrors of morning – almost.

Joel went missing? Oh yeah I heard about the looking for a Kebab thing – also that Joel woke up next to a baseball cap and a box of records and shouted “Noooooooooo!!”

    • Now in it's third week, the new Capital Breakfast Show seems to be settling down well and there are more of the informal, random Jordan topics appearing.  Though it is clear he wants to be seen slightly differently. It really is a very decent listen.
    • Just Vick and Katie on Wednesday (and presumably Thursday as well).
    • Unless people can provide a source for this information then it should be treated as false.   Why would Jordan sign a contract with the BBC in the autumn when he agreed a deal with Global?  He could have left in August and not had to deal with the BBC.  Vick who doesn't really like Global why would she recommend him to go there and then warn him in her post to be careful?   It's been whispered from October that Roman was thinking of going.  Roman and Jordan have the same management team.  Why would they put Jordan in a place where he would have to battle with the BBC.  They could have agreed a deal with Global for Jordan in the summer.  They might have had to pay first couple months but they would do they to secure him.  If they had known about Roman wanting to leave they could have paid Roman off to get Jordan on air quicker.  Global would also not had legal around BBC contract to deal with and would not have had to pay the BBC to release Jordan.  None of what people say makes sense and if it did happen the way people say then BBC are not the stupid ones.  It really is not a good look to be talking with Global for 6 months, to then sign a contract with a the BBC, continue to talk to Global behind BBC's back after signing and then couple of months later want to leave and to throw a hissy fit as the BBC are not giving you what you want when you want it. That not a good light for Jordan or his management.   
    • Wow, surprised he signed a new contract in September but it says a lot about Jordan that he continued to a very high standard throughout last summer/autumn if this was all going on in the background. 
    • They knew Roman wanted to leave early last year but wasn't officially announced but he gave them time to sort replacement. Found and offered Jordan a deal in June or July and needed time to get Jordan out of Contract at bbc and roman to do notice  Jordan had dinner with Katie Vick and Arielle to ask advice and all said he should go.   
    • And they told Radio 4’s Feedback that it was an ‘experiment’ to ‘look at the best way to serve young listeners’ but reaffirmed that 280 hours commitment.
    • I doubt he wanted to go to Global if a slot before he found out kemp was leaving.
    • We're hoping to get some answers in the coming weeks
    • From what he's saying on the Pod he's been trying to get out of r1 for a while. Looks like he needed to wait for a show on global to be available. Jordan had bbq last summer with most of thr global execs and he's referenced the deal was in place then. Obviously the hold up was r1 being stubborn
    • All seems to be back to normal this morning.
    • Indeed and Jordan was already friends with Sian Welby, Will Manning and Jimmy Hill.  
    • It's great to see those friendships still thriving. I think the days of Radio 1 DJs and Capital DJs being unable to co-exist is long over. You used to either be firmly BBC or commercial, and you don't get the sense that's the case anymore. 
    • Maia Beth will be presenting the Radio 1 Happy shows from the 27th April replacing Katie.  https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001ydkr
    • Vick and Jordan together on Insta (with Ariel’s) in Ibiza. You do imagine Jordan’s ex colleagues have a very different attitude to him than management. Comments on Help! And very subtle comments on Capital Breakfast suggest Jordan was frustrated with Radio 1 / BBC management.  
    • I can name quite a few people on this forum who would be better presenters than Danny.
