Well, I'm going ice skating next week. It's my first time ever doing skating and will be an outing with my work colleagues, and I sense I'm going to be making a fool of myself. Has anyone tried it, is it easy and does anyone have any tips?

Stay nearer the outside of the rink then when/if you fall over you can use the side to get back up. My mate went ice skating the otehr week with me and she went out ito the middle and fell over and was there for a good ten minutes trying to get back up.

Its not too hard as long as you have goo balance. Just have fun.

I used to do it for PE, and the main thing is confidence. Staying near the edge if you've never been is common sense, but you'll learn a lot quicker if you go round with someone else. If you feel yourself falling too far backwards then lean forwards and vice versa, and my personal tip is if you do fall over, clench your fists (the thought of blades over fingers doesn't bear thinking about).

I used to go ice skating as a kid, I found that holding onto the edge for the first half hour or so is a good idea, then you gradually get more confidence and can go further away, but it always took several hours for me to get anywhere near the middle.

Someone got shot dead recently at the ice rink I used to go to, so I'm not sure I want to go there again. If I can persuade my housemate to come along, we will try out the National Ice Centre here, but he's scared because he knows someone who works there and is worried he'll embarrass himself.

Two or three years my sister and I went ice skating because a nearby moor had frozen and everyone in the town went there to skate.

W had one pair of skates so we couldn't do it at the same time and then decided to film each other.

The films with my sister became rather good, she didn't fall or anything. The films with me ended up quite comical. I fell all the time, and sometimes it looked really, really strange.

None of us had ever been ice skating before, and I guess it depends on weither you're talented or not. My sister was, I wasn't.

But I had fun anyway, it doesn't really matter that I made a fool of myself.

Just enjoy yourself :)

First ever time I ice skated was when the ice rink at Perth was just opened, Vaguely remember it was Berlin "Take my breath away" that was on the jukebox at the time, it turned out I was reasonably good considering it was my first time on the ice, no doubt if I tried to skate again I would be awful.

I just have images of myself breaking an ankle or something whilst stopping, thats why ramming the barrier to stop can sometimes be less painful? :P

If you feel your going to fall down grab the nearest person to you.

I grabed a bunch of school kid's and i managed to stay upright till i got to the edge. They looked shocked but i did thank them as i flew toward the exit.

I love skating.

Funnily enough, I was just thinking the same thing... ;)

Once went out with someone that skated in the Olympics, until someone bashed into her at an ordinary ice rink and in the tumble ruined her legs for good with their skates. Don't think she ever skated again. A cautionary tale perhaps.

Been a few times. Not for me.

I hesitate to say I prefer Strictly... :*

I've only ever been ice-skating once, and that was when I was really young. I don't remember being much good at it! Hahaha!

But yeah, stay near the outter-edge, I think. So you can hold-on to the side if you don't feel balanced or confident enough. And try to remember to keep your fingers in if/when you do fall-over.

On the other hand, you could just all go right out there together and make fools of yourselves just for the hell of it. Afterall, it's just a bit of fun, right? And if you're all falling all-over the place then it'll give you a few laughs whilst you're there and later when you come to telling others all about it.

:P

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

      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

      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.

      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'.

      I remember hearing Amy first on Scotts show and she was great on that, the daft quiz questions always made me smile. It's really nice to see the hard work has paid off for them all.

      Actually the worst tends to be those who comment on Radio Today news stories. People who haven’t listened to younger oriented radio stations in years who say things like “who?” about any job going to any presenter aged younger than 50.
