I think an appropriate song for Josh might be "the wheels on the bus go round and round" -- stop getting your mum to pick you up, you're 14, you can make your own way home! (depending on the quality of public transport in Josh's area).

It does make me feel quite old, although it's a nice feeling not to be back at school at the beginning of September.

Haha that's quite true. How American, parents turning up in their flash cars.

I don't see the point of the IPCC getting involved in this, if you live by the sword, you die by the sword.

They have to investigate any case where someone is killed by the police, no matter what the reason. I suppose it's good to think that the police can't just shoot people dead and not be held accountable in some way, like they can in many countries. They also have to investigate if anyone dies in custody.

It is quite American, being picked up in a car by your mum, reminds me of the video for Stacey's Mom.

The last film I saw was The Simpsons, before that it was Harry Potter and before that it was You, Me And Dupree - but that one's a year ago now! I don't normally go much to the cinema - it's way too expensive!

How is it in England, are you allowed to bring your own drinks, snacks...?

At my local cinema (Vue) I can take food in, or buy it at hugely inflated prices there. At my friend's local cinema though (CineWorld) couldn't take in food, but the tickets were at least £1 cheaper and both cinemas are in London suburbs. The last film I saw at the cinema was Harry Potter, involved a really long walk to get there, about an hour and a half of walking, but the good thing is, we missed the adverts (and a couple of showings).

Don't think so, no. I did however sneak in a great egg sandwich from Morrisons, and I supposedly stunk the place out :D

One of my friends and I once tried to sneak in some snacks etc, but they asked us to hand everythin in at the entrance. When they saw the snakcs we just said: "It's not for the cinema, it's because we're having a sleep over tonight..." After that we only had money for 4 lollipops because we had spent it all on the snacks... :(

    • I must have missed that yesterday, sorry! Scott did make the same tongue in cheek comment on today's show about Rylan. It's a shame Rylan isn't the go to cover for Scott, I assume his commitments away from R2 prevent that. I enjoyed his last cover stint. Spoony is the go to stand in for the mid afternoon slot (he's covering again week after next while Scott's off getting married).   In that case, I think you're right! 
    • Not that last minute. Scott was talking about it on his own show yesterday, saying he and Rylan have a deal where they cover each other's shows but Rylan only covers Scott when he can be bothered!
    • Sorry I should have been clearer, I meant daytime weekday. Weekend shows would count as a 'step up' from overnights for OJ.
    • If we're counting the overnight slot, OJ Borg regularly covers weekend shows.
    • 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.
