Nope, I've still gotta wait another year and a bit for that... should be good though, I study both French and Spanish so I might get the chance to go to both France and Spain.

So save the last dance

Wow, I do German and Spanish. I'm still nto sure if I'll be taking the both of them next year. I'd love a B in spanish but I only started it last year, for GCSE, so I'll struggle, I'm only targetted a C. I've been doing German for 5 years, so I'm taking that definately.

Don't you get confused? French and Spanish are pretty similar, my friend does those two and kept mixing them up in her oral exams! Teacher didn't seem to point it out though.

With French and Spanish I'm actually not that bad... I'm doing Portuguese as part of my Spanish degree (it comes under "Hispanic Studies) and because about 75% of Portuguese words are basically Spanish words with one or two letters taken out, it's Spanish and Portuguese that I tend to get mixed up more often.

And when one of my college mates was doing his AS Spanish oral exam last year he ended up speaking about four different languages by mistake, haha. He said something in French, apologised in what he thought was Spanish but was actually Italian, and then apologised in English... or something along those lines.

What about wishing everyone else luck who's unfortunate enough to be doing exams at the moment, Jono...?

Ugh, I hated maths exams, I seem to remember the one I had to do for GCSE being particularly vile. And it didn't help that it was the hottest day of the year on the day we did it. :(

I sat mine earlier in November and it was freezing! I think I'd prefer exams over winter though, it's too hot at this time of year, bleh

Good luck to all indulging in GCSEs at the moment. For me when you know what you're doing, they're the best days of your school life.

Oh deffo, unfortuantly no-one would sing some Ive had the time of my life today :\

My first exam is a week today. I've got a huge stack of books which I have been flicking through all day but I haven't really done any real revision. I know it's only the first year, and they don't count, but still I feel like I should work for exams, just because that's how I managed to actually get to uni. I just can't settle on one thing for long enough to do any actual work and playing online games seems so much more tempting.

What, no school? Saying goodbye to people? You've got it easy, you've just got to remember the last two years of what you've learnt! They were happy days for me.

It's weird how schools seem to call it "RS" these days, when I was at school I always knew it as "RE"... oh well, random observation. Good luck anyway though, I can't see it being too difficult, haha.

I go to a catholic school, so it's complusory, right until the end, which I find unfair really. We only study the roman catholic relgion at GCSE too, I think I'd be a lot more interested if we looked at other beliefs too. I'm not a fan of RE at school at all -.-

We have PSHE lessons in RE too, but that's usually when we want relaly old 'educational' videos, to make us think.

Although we watched a more up to date video recently about drunk teenagers

We were all made to take "short course" RE for our GCSEs which basically meant that we ended up with half a GCSE in RE... it was supposed to combine with short course IT to make a whole GCSE but then our IT teachers decided to put us all in for the full course anyway so we ended up with half a GCSE in RE on its own. Seemed a bit pointless really.

      Changes to Radio 2 socials

      I mean I've been growing our engagement on Facebook in my department, there's still an untapped audience there. Also, as you alude to, the number of community groups has grown a lot since lockdown. I'd love to hear more about their thinking. If this had been Radio 1's strategy I don't think anyone would have disagreed.

      I think they must’ve been slowly killing of their social media presence I know for Radio 2 and 6 they do have dedicated unofficial social media groups so there is an audience. All Request Friday and features like that has a place on social media as can get requests via comment sections but I think Facebook struggles to know what it is these days.

      I just think it's more about what they're doing. If all you've got is a DJ dancing to Beyonce's latest hit for thirty seconds or Sara Cox reading out the All Request Friday number in a funny way it's not really what Facebook prioritises. I think it's great that studio interaction, but it does lend itself to Instagram and TikTok more. But I honestly believe there is a place for Facebook with the Radio 2 audience. The trouble is Radio 2 have barely used Facebook for the last year so there doesn't seem to have been a strategy there.

      Agree, all I'd see on x was medical professionals from other health trusts having a very carefully worded pop at each other, mixed in with a clip of jeremy vine with a camera on his helmet, a very strange place indeed! I imagine they have some data to back it up, but is the r2 audience really using tiktok?

      I get not putting resources into X which these days is a strange mix of angry political debate and adult content only. But you'd think Facebook was still the most popular social channel amongst Radio 2 audiences.

      Radio 2 seem to have decided that their strategy is just short video, so it does probably make sense with Instagram and TikTok. But I find it hard to believe there's not longer form content that wouldn't suit Facebook better.

      These late announcements are so lacklustre. It's not quite like the time they announced Harry Styles last minute!

      Think it may have been better to include Radio 1 in this and 1 xtra ultimately focus on boosting a BBC Sounds social media to bring the multi-generational content marketed to a broader audience through one singular channel and having a separate social brand skewed to younger audiences maybe they should consider just having a @BBC @BBCSounds  @BBCSport @BBCNews @BBCFresh (youth brand) social media acounts national.

      Although a lot of their target audience do seem to be moving across to Instagram now.

      I suppose it's because not a lot of people use Twitter (or X) so maybe it's not worth their time, surprised about Facebook though.

      Surprised to learn Radio 2 and 6 Music are moving away from X and Facebook, I would have thought there's more appeal in Radio 1 doing that instead. Their target audiences still use Facebook, and it's still a key way to reach a good mix of audiences. Agree about X though, don't see any need for it. https://radiotoday.co.uk/2024/05/bbc-radio-2-and-6-music-quit-facebook-and-x-publishing/

      Danny Beard on weekend afternoons

      By ianwilk1999 · Posted

      On the weekends theme @Bluestraw said this in the chatbox but I was listening live to James cusack's show yesterday and agree it would be a travesty if he doesn't feature in the weekend plans. Both the greg james fb page and users on digital spy are saying similar. Imagine that, being both part of the LGBTQ+ community but able to appreciate good presenters in 2024.
