everybody who is over 30 who i have spoken to seems a bit confused about this minor thing, i just tell them my result was good. as i gather they used to take their theory and driving tests all on the same day, the instuctor just used to ask some random traffic questions before you took the test.

i will be driving on the motorway later as well which is quite a scary thought.

on the grid.

thanks all.

i think i am getting more and more used to it as time goes on. the last three nights i have been out trying to adapt to night driving, which is easier for me becuase there aren't as many cars on the road. but i have just being going 2 or 3 miles away from my house, places that i know. i need to go on the motorway on my own to be honest, but i need somewhere to drive to. i think i'll go at night the first time, pick a place and take the satnav with me.

on the grid.

Some motorways are difficult at night, they dont all have street lights, so you have to be careful and aware of everthing around, sure you will be fine...

Pfft, you should try driving in to Glasgow, its like wacky races and its everyman (or woman!) for themselves. Its a nightmare for people cutting from one lane into another.

I don't mind the drive to Glasgow but as soon as it goes 5 lanes and as you said becomes like wacky races that's when I get scared! ha ha. I love driving on the motorway tho!!! I just love driving full stop :D

Just the hour, I just have a tendency to look at the gear stick instead of the road when changing gears!

Everyone does that I am sure! You find you spend your first few lessons worrying about what is going on inside the car and not noticing what is going on outside it! Once you start doing it all in your stride you'll laugh when you look back!!!

You've still got a couple of lessons of doing absolutely everything wrong and deciding your never driving again to look forward to!!! ha ha

Whilst you have my congratulations for passing your test (My sister passed on her 7th time!), my views on driving are well documented but for clarity's sake I shall repeat them here.

There are two kinds of people in the world: those who sit in the front and drive and those who sit in the back and tell the people in front where to drive.

I place myself firmly in the latter catagory. I have people to do all the important things in my life.

Sometimes here, sometimes not.

      Greg's time on breakfast

      By onlyME · Posted

      On July 8th Greg will surpass Grimmy's tenure on Radio 1 breakfast (5 years, 319 days) as the second-longest breakfast show presenter. He has already passed Tony Blackburn and Sim Mayo. I'm not sure if he will make Moyles' record of 8 years, 253 days, but he certainly still seems fresh and full of ideas!

      Studio usage for new schedule

      By Lily Georgia · Posted

      I guess we'll have to wait and see when the new schedule kicks in, although I could see Scott staying where he is.  Assuming that's the case and there are no other moves, there would be several available studios for Matt & Mollie - 82C or 82E of the 'old' studios, and 82M or 82N of the new ones.

      The BBC commissioning brief mentions it is a 'mid morning show' for Radio 1 Dance https://www.bbc.co.uk/commissioning/radio/documents/comm_brief_r1_dance_morning_show.pdf

      Nothing to apologise about, I was just intrigued on how DS and UM react

      Radio 1 Schedule Changes

      I would be pretty confident that if they keep avoiding using James Cusack on that slot over the next few weeks, then it will probably be him that gets the show permanently!

      That’s two names who probably won’t be doing that slot permanently then.

      I stand guilty as charged as the DS poster.... It was I Okay, so yes Connor has good energy and does the show well, I take it back, however, my last experience of him he spent every other link saying "It's Connor Coates in for the ledge that is Charlie Hedges" and then he started saying "Clem Douglas" - again after critisising that I see she is styled as that sometimes The point I was trying to make was, yes we know it's Charlies show, we know she is a ledge, and we know she is not here today, no need to keep reminding us Regards R1 dance, I suspect Arielle is pointed at the drivetime slot to go against Mistajam unless we know it is breakfast that will be live ? Apologies to Connor and anyone offended by my comments, was just going on my past experience of Mr Coates, who seems to be a very competnt presenter

      Studio usage for new schedule

      By Lee E · Posted

      I know we have discussed this before, but can someone shed some light hoping @Lily Georgia can help Since the Wogan House closure, and 1-330 from Manchester, studio 82A (Mills) has been used by Scott's R2 show, in fact i note that him and Grandad Nelson are from there now days The question I have is with 1-330 coming from London again soon, who is getting a new studio? will Scott move to one of the newer ones down the corridor or will he remain in 82A and M&M get a new studio They cannot use 82D as that is used for drive, and currenlty 82A is in use by Scott from 2-4pm In the old days it used to be 82A for Greg, Scott, Annie and 82D Adele, RMC, Drive, Jack I note that Jack is in a brand new studio so maybe M&M will come from that one as well, maybe the same one as Vine uses?

      Producer Amy moving to Radio 1 Breakfast

      By coffeeandgin · Posted

      Very pleased for producer Amy - it's no coincidence many of the best shows in recent years have had her working on them. You can tell her & Helena are a great production duo and that the whole Matt & Mollie team are a really close-knit unit in general. Some lovely speeches by both Matt & Mollie too to end the show on Sunday.

      By coffeeandgin · Posted

      Echo what most have said here. Connor has great energy which is important for that sort of slot and the shame for him is that the dance line-up is so strong that there's no obvious 'in' for him to get a regular slot -Danny, Sarah, Pete Tong, Arielle, Charlie Hedges, Jerry and Charlie Tee are all great in their slots. A live show on Radio 1 Dance really feels the obvious way to get a proper foot in the door at Radio 1. Although to be fair to the DS critic I think it was just the one poster and can very much hear Connor in my head saying 'in for the legend that is Charlie Hedges'.
