We just had a mention off of Greg. "Playing that for Jono and all the kids at Unofficial Mills". Haha, he knows when I'm listening

:shock:

Let's hope it will be Kate Nash at #1 this week. I'm not bored of Timbaland but nice to have some variety...

Looking forward to the Retro this afternoon in the sunny-sun-sun.

This was the beginning of my love for music. So many memories in today's retro. Before the Spice Girls I was never much of a music person. Well I say that, I'd never really discovered it.

The Plain White Ts song - its almost like Simon and Garfunkel are back. Guess it's a matter of personal taste whether you think that's a good thing or not.

Don't understand why people bought Amy MacDonald but not Tiny Dancers :confused:

UM is a nice place

OK, am I just seeing things or is the "Spider Pig" song from the Simpsons movie in the top 40........? :confused:

So save the last dance

For me my love 'cause I

I see you as an angel freshly fallen from the sky...

Nihal sounds so tired and emotional :D

"I can't even string a sentence together"

Listening to him on Radio 1 from Zante just now I realised you meant drunk :D

And there was I thinking the poor lad was drained after all his hard work being Edith's and everyone else's bitch.

UM is a nice place

I, erm, might have done an evil cackle of glee when Rihanna went in at number four.

Went in at Number 4? Didn't no one tell you it was at Number 1 for ten weeks? She now has two tracks in the top 15!

My friend at work kept telling me how amazing Russell Brand is on Radio 2, and it's where it's all at. I kept telling him Scott Mills is where it's at, so I thought he'd find Flirt Divert texts of interest.

"haha brand is boboboboing legend that was hilarious had me laughing out loud!!!!! how can u deny that its not worth tuning in on him on a sat evening!!"

Hmmm, i'll get him listening eventually...

Oh no, you know when Scott was talking about things that make you emotional? Like the bisto advert and stuff? I actually got emotional at Moyles' first Comedy Dave baby jingle this morning :P

I quite like it that Dom spent his holiday in the town I went to school in :D

Damnit, was it just me hoping that Eve girl on the One Life would fail her exams today. Maybe it's just me :D

Ah well, afternoon, it's 4pm... who's on board?

Feels odd hearing Scott on during a suitable time for once! I almost half expect the voiceover to say 'Sara Cox'.

Completed a newspaper column today... on football... I'm sure the people of Norfolk are going to love the way I slagged it off. And updated my personal website.

It fills me with so much confidence when the nearest date some friends can meet up is in three weeks time.

i also hate football, not.

mika, not very good for my ears. i am not a fat girl, so i dont need to hear this. it sounds like he threw this together while he was on acid.

on the grid.

Yes well I'm bored out of my mind of hearing it. Even the feminist style columnists in the Eastern Daily Press managed to write a whole page about it.

I've also been trying to hatch a plan to try and get a rare species of animal in Norfolk. I'm thinking an elephant could turn up in town, or a dolphin appears on Cromer beach. Anything for some publicity.

Maybe I'm losing the plot a bit these days...

    • Tara Kumar is in for Alyx on Sunday 13th July.
    • Conor Knight & Lauren Layfield are in for Matt & Mollie on Monday 14th July.  Matt is solo on Tuesday 15th July.  Jerry is in for Mollie between Wednesday 16th & Thursday 24th July.  Maia Beth is covering Future Pop on Wednesday 16th & Wednesday 23rd July. On Sunday 27th July the Chillest Show is reduced to an hour, and 20.00-21.00 is a BBC Proms special with JADE. On Thursday 31st July 18.00-20.00 in place of Jack's show it's the Dance Party Warm-Up with Danny Howard (ahead of the Ibiza weekend).
    • Dean McCullough in for Greg w/c 4th August. James Cusack on EB.
    • Well looks like Mollie is off all month now so presumably a personal matter. 
    • Intrigued why Matt & Mollie aren't presenting breakfast on Monday, with James in for them instead (which has happened before).. or even James given a chance to present the breakfast show?
    • Sam & Danni seem to be down for Breakfast on Monday. James Cusack on Going Home. That’s another new name in the list of “people who have hosted Going Home in 2025”.
    • Wednesday, surely? But this is another mess, as this weeks Summer press release said it’ll be Sam & Danni no Jamie from the 28th - so it’s actually a whole week earlier!
    • Jamie Laing’s last show before his summer break will be on Wednesday 16th July.
    • I worked out once Scott spent 3 months of a year off his own slot in the Moyles days and more like 4 in Grimmys days, six weeks of his own holiday and projects, six covering Grimmy plus some ad hoc days 
    • Back on topic, I think there's quite a few of the current Radio 1 presenters who would be able to adapt to Radio 2's style in the future. It's more of question of how many of them will actually end up there. With much of R2's line up changed over the past couple of years, it's quite possible we won't see much movement there, and R2 management might even decide to look elsewhere to bring in new presenters in future.
    • With OJ covering on bank holidays. She is the best person for the job however... they're going to end up with a situation like Scott covering R1 breakfast back in the day, where she spends quite a bit of time off her own slot covering Breakfast, plus her own holiday and other commitments. She's been filming for something recently which has meant she's been off several days a week since May. She was off last week, on breakfast this week, OJ is on Mon/Tues next week, then She's off the following two weeks.
    • Looking back at this I would say now that Sara is the main cover - I think she has been reestablished as it now 
    • Purley on the R1 Dance station.. Someone on DS said don't expect to see any changes to the schedule on the new stations however if they are taking on Capital Dance with this, which they clearly are, which has live presenters 7am - 10pm except for the 11am mix then they'll surely have to have a proper scheduled set of shows. At the moment Arielle is the only "live" per say show and only "live" a few days a week with earlier shows being repeated Thursday Friday and Saturday. Connor and Charlie are clearly pre records but was this only for the time it was online only and they have already got a schedule ready to go on day 1? also of note is that Charlie is taking over a podcast as well as starting a new project with podcasting which makes me wonder if she is about to step back from Dance Anthems all together to concentrate on those and Connor takes over? So you could have Arielle doing 9-12 weekdays live then someone else 12-3 and Connor live 3-6 on R1D and doing Dance Anthems on a Saturday. 
    • As none of the Going Home Team aren't currently on the air, that's a bit if an issue. Considering most of the Dance DJs will be out there, I'm surprised none of them are being utilised to host the 1-4 slot that weekend.
    • Going Home presenters have done the last few years ?
