My parents. My mother hasn't stopped arguing with us and my dad since Friday. Now she's considering leaving us.

I have a feeling this thread is just gonna run and run....

This is one of my favourite poems; and yes I do know it by heart (arrogant me?) hope it makes you smile Jono:

This be the verse

They f*ck you up your mum and dad

They may not mean to, but they do

They fill you with the faults they had

And add some extra, just for you.

But they were f*cked up in their turn

By fools in old-style hats and coats

Who half the time were soppy-stern

And half at one another's throats.

Man hands on misery to man

It deepens like a coastal shelf.

Get out as early as you can,

And don't have any kids yourself.

The late, great Phillip Larkin.

'To disagree with three-fourths of the British public is one of the first requisites of sanity'.

I've been in your position, and I know it's not the nicest feeling in the world, but eventually everything falls into place, even if it isn't how you thought it would.

What sucks in my life? Schoolwork, although I'm trying to not let that get on top of me, and my dad's not been very nice recently, but again, I'm just focusing on other things.

It all being my fault that my housemate didn't go out, despite her knowing people who would be there, because of the piles of work I haven't even started yet.

What a stupid idea, fancy me thinking that I'd need to do some work for my presentation on Tuesday and have to read all these books for this week... It's only my final year, that doesn't count.

There/ They're/ Their. Different words.

...my housemate ate the last double chocolate muffin last night which was a wee bit annoying when I went for it this morning. Although she is cute so generally gets away with minor food infractions like this.

This is exactly why I label my food. If I buy milk or something, I write my name on it. Mind you, this doesn't stop my taid from nicking it, so generally its down to whoever drinks / eats it first. It's often a close call. I take my food seriously...

Talking of which, I made a bloody gorgeous curry last night :D

*Note to all non-welsh understanding people: Taid = Grandad*

The most heroic act is the one that no-one knows about.

The NHS. I was told I could go to my local hospital, no quibbles, and get an appointment. I've used the online appointment website and it says I can get one in a hospital miles away any time I like, but none at my local hospital.

Oh and my sister got the hospital times mixed up for her appointment about her brain scan. They got really arsey, however it was there fault for rescheduling it. They said "if you'd turned up for your appointment you'd not need another". Well duh. Now she has to wait till July.

I have a boyfriend of 6 months and I've fallen for another guy. Now I'm swooning over both of them. Heaven save me. Oh, might I add that this other guy is older? A lot older, like, eleven years older? I swear my life is turning into a soap opera.

Be carefull!!!!!!!.... its not just you who could get hurt here!!!

Talking from the voice of experiance, to go to your boy friends place and find him not alone really isnt nice.:(

But if swooning is as far as its gone thats okay we are all aloud to do that hahaha! ;)

Friends are the family we choose for ourselves

oh dear, as Pinky say's there's no harm in looking as long as you dont act on those feelings whilst in a relationship. As for dating an older person I cant say I have any problems with it, Linda my fiancéé is 9yrs older than me and we have been doing out for around 9yrs now without any problems :D.

Being a toyboy isnt too bad :P

    • It’s not necessarily the fact that Jamie is posh. It’s that the show seems to be really keen to play on it. Within 10 minutes of their first show they were playing voice notes from his Celeb mates. Compare that to Vick and Jordan’s first week in September 2021; their first links were about Jordan’s awkward encounter with his plumber and Vick slapping a roast chicken.    And then on Monday this week, Jamie is sulking (exaggerated sulking admittedly) about something, this ultimately being that another of his celeb mates has cancelled his appearance on their show, and they’re literally reading out texts such as ‘I’m sure this is going to be relatable to the entire population.’
    • That’s a last minute change!
    • Jordan, Greg, they’re down to earth. That’s what makes them resonate so much with listeners.  
    • It's a bizarre thing though....it would be nice to hear a few more tracks from the past 10 years mixed into daytime. However, at the other extreme, I find it odd how often really old tracks come up on Anthems and even the likes of Soundsystem Party and Dance Anthems.   The odd throwback is great but sometimes it feels too much.
    • I do like Cat Burns but it’s a good point about the many artists on future artists and other specialist shows. If they manage to launch the ‘Anthems’ like sister station hope they make changes to the stations playlist.
    • Some shows do play some songs from pre-2018 regularly. Mainly Matt & Mollie and Radio 1 Breakfast. Also don't forget the shortened Anne-Marie - Ciao Adios which gets played every 26 seconds. 😂
    • I hate reverse snobbery and I post this reluctantly as we shouldn't hold Jamie's background against him, but I do think many listeners will find it hard to identify with Jamie.  One of the things that made Jordan so popular was he sounded like the mate you go for a pint with who always has a great story to tell.
    • Absolutely - life would be dull if we all liked the same things  
    • Dean in for Greg on Tuesday.
    • While it maybe doesn't the power it once has (where being on the A-List was a big deal), It's a big part of the station and I felt probably deserves it's own thread. Have to be honest I haven't been hugely enamored with the playlist in recent times. Radio 1 seem quite heavily wedded to it in weekdays (at least Monday-Thursday) which can lead to the station being repetitive if you listen throughout the day. Even a station like Capital who are known for their limited playlist seem to throw in some older tracks and artists ever so often whereas if it's not Something Songs, 10 Minute Takeover or Anthems you often struggle to hear a song from before 2018. The repetitive nature has been a thing for a while though to be fair - I recall early 2021 in particular it felt like Tiesto's 'The Business' and Olivia Rodrigo's 'Drivers Licence' were played every other hour. Also certain Radio 1 favourites seem almost guaranteed a slot on the playlist even if they don't actually appear to be wildly popular with the target audience to justify it. I get it with your Dua Lipas, Calvin Harrises, Fred Agains  and Olivia Rodrigos as they're all very popular but less so if it's say Cat Burns, Aitch, Royal Blood or Mabel. Which is fine to an extent as Radio 1 has often focussed on promoting new music but then you have great music by other new artists that just never makes it to the playlist as a result.
    • Yep I really struggled with Matt & Jamie which was a shame as otherwise really like Matt. Unfortunately it comes across on-air whether it's actually try or not that Jamie doesn't know a lot about radio and doesn't seem particularly desperate to improve either or if I'm being generous he's playing an act - neither of which particularly appeals. The everyman act can sometimes work but you need to have that natural likability and appeal for it to do so in the way that way Chris Stark did. I mean even towards the end of his stint with Matt Jamie was struggling with getting the Whatsapp number right which is a basic.
    • Have to say even if there is a good reason for Jamie to be off on Thursdays the optics of them a month in still not be able to do a 'normal week' of the scheduled team for a brand new show isn't great. And if Jamie was meant to be away on Thursdays clearly nobody let whoever runs BBC Sounds know. Who would've guessed from the Vick & Jordan days though that it would be Vick who's the everpresent so far (just kidding Vick - really rate her as a DJ and I know she has a lot of other engagements outside of Radio 1).
    • Sorry explain what you mean there please? Danny is unlistenable?? 
    • I dunno if it is me but even Vick and Katie don't sound as good in that slot alone as they did before. Maybe I have just fallen out of love with it all.
