Who's ill then?

Recommended Posts

I have once again caught a virus doing the rounds at the moment. Probably the worst one I've had this winter too (I sound like I'm specialised in them now!)

Headaches, colds, sweats, chills, sore eyes, chest pains, non-stop sleeping, not had more than a few slices of toast in four days, fainting and a chesty cough.

Rubbish! Not how I expected to start 2008. I'm guessing I'm thankful that it wasn't the winter vomiting bug. So anyone else want to share their their tales of sick bugs with me?

I had that between Christmas and New Year and gave it to my missus as well, she had a week off sick.

No food, too hot, too cold, skin aching, breathing toubles. Sounds like we had the same thing. It was a nightmare.

May I recommend some asprin and a lot of chicken soup (Heinz) as the best remedy.

I'm slightly sniffley and housemates hannah and katie have the dreaded pox so are in bed claiming there ill. I think its just an excuse to get out of there turn on the cleaning roster.

Are you the man of the house?

I have a nasty dry cough, chest feel's like it's going to explode, throat is sore, bunged up nose, cannot sleep because of constant coughing.

The thing is for 2 month's i took vitimin c tablets so i did not get a cold.

This is the first time for year's that i have had a cold !!

Oh I hate that, when you feel like crap but not crap enough to warrant taking the day off so you have to be at work/school/college/whatever feeling like rubbish.

I'd rather be full on ill, at least then you get a day off rather than some half arsed illness.

Luckily, I haven't been full on ill, but I keep getting what feels like the start of flu. I think it's just that I'm not getting enough rest, but it's really irritating; I'm not ill but I don't feel completely well.

Oh my god, i thought it was just screwed up nervous system playing tricks! I have the same thing, I feel really light-headed, my legs feel really light and my concentration and brain skills go out the window. It really is quite an odd thing to have.

I called in sick the other day at work because of it, and then got reported as i went to boots opposite work to get lemsips... might be getting a disiplinary :( i wish i kept the receipt.

I'm avoiding everyone I can in order to not get this winter vomiting virus, it sounds horrible. With no bathroom at the moment, and only 1 between 5 of us normally, we'd have serious problems if we got that. Not to mention we've all got important exams we can't miss.

Having said that, I rarely get ill around this time of year, in fact I can't remember a time I've been ill after November or before February, I'm more one for getting ill in spring and autumn.

    • 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.
