Returning to work tomorrow. It's becoming a Nazi state. Finger print scanners to sign in?!

Also, Vodafone. I need to access my uncle's account as his line rental is £75 a month! We can't afford this but at the moment they've not received the letter we sent from him and the amount is piling up :(

The idea of finger print scanning at work to sign in. It's invasive and it means I will now have to clock out at 11.00pm each night. That will mean an extra 10 minutes work by the time we've closed the shop and turned the lights out. I find it unfair and it's open to more abuse than the current system.

Forcing us to 'give them our print or not get paid' was an unreasonable threat and we were not explained how the system worked or what it would do.

I have since researched this and wrote a letter of complaint.

Tell them finger print scanners are unhygienic and will lead to more absences due to staff catching each others' illnesses.

I got soaked at lunch time and spent the entire afternoon with wet jeans and wet feet. Then I got wet again on my way home and had to queue for 20 minutes in the supermarket just to buy bread and milk for my mum.

My mother has a compulsive food-buying problem.

It sounds silly but it's really serious. She did a full shop at Sainsburys 2 hours before Ocado delivered a huuuuge amount of food. We'll never eat even half of it and it's a horrible waste. It's impossible to find anything in the fridge because there's an avalanche every time it is opened and it's a pretty big fridge. There's a whole drawer full of bread that will go mouldy.

Every day she insists on someone going out and buying a loaf of fresh bread from Sainsburys, one of the bakery ones. She'll maybe eat 1 or 2 slices, she might not even touch it, then it goes stale and goes in the bin. It makes me feel sick just to think of how much waste there is in this household.

There is no use suggesting anything, she just gets stressed and angry and then sulky. She won't go to the doctor because the doctor will tell her she needs help with her mental health problems. We don't know what to do any more.

Boys.

The boy I like is moving to Greece for a year

My gay best friend is going all the way to Edinburgh for uni and is going to Spain for Christmas with his boyfriend to meet his family

My straight boy best friend keeps on asking me for help with his girlfriend because he's afraid he's not worth it. He so is.

I miss speaking like we used to to the other boy I like, but we have nothing left to talk about because we talked so much in the beginning, so even though we're having fun, I wonder if that's all it is now.

My therapist is too gorgeous for my own good. I'll be like that girl off of House who asks Chase to kiss her.

Stupid boys.

Oh, and my book just fell down the back of my bed.

I had that problem with a girl I liked. We talked loads and loads to start with and then eventually we just didn't have anything to say to eachother. We both decided to cut it off from there, but we're still pretty good friends and talk alot again now :)

Hope everything works out for you :)

I read a book on M.E last night and I think it pretty much confirmed things for me. From the rashes to the lack of balance to the trouble standing up to the exhaustion to the thirst. These were all additional things that I'd not thought about before but seem to contribute to my illness.

I really need to drink more water. I was shopping on Sunday and those bley bright lights in changing rooms were not my friend! :(

Oohh, those ones that make you look really bright white? Like on this:

It's about thirteen seconds in. We did a case study on it in Media, the bright lights are shocking!

    • Less so with 5 Live. But with Nihal, Nicky Campbell and Mark Chapman get what you are saying.6 Music does have that with Huw Stephens, Mary Anne Hobbs, Gilles Peterson, Marc Riley and Mark Radcliffe
    • Agreed, Martha seems to quietly taken over as host of the Tuesday Bass and Big Beats show that Annie Nightingale did would be good to have some promotion to be done for her show. Agreed with this on bank holidays on a Radio 1 dance day inpaticular would be quite good to have Sarah Storey, Jaguar, Jeremiah Asiamah, Charlie Tee and Martha presenting. I always felt that in Christmas and New Year previously having Victoria Jane to do a Future Soul take over playlist.
    • To be fair to him, this week and next week he’s on his podcast tour which was arranged well before he started on R1. After that I would guess he’ll start being on everyday? 
    • It’s Jamie’s dream of a lifetime to be a full time Radio 1 presenter apparently, but he can only do it 2 or 3 days a week. 
    • Radio 1 generation meaning??  Today's 10-30 yr-olds? I doubt it. They'll still know Pete Tong though, because he is rhyming slang!
    • There was a time when everyone knew Zane Lowe or Annie Mac or Judge Jules or Dave Pearce or Annie Nightingale. Does the Radio 1 generation know the current bunch?
    • Looks like it's off to Preston! 
    • Would be nice to give more presence to the specialist shows over bank holidays. Surely the best way to promote new music credentials over anthems? As much as I accept it's very popular.
    • Peak radio 1 ! I agree with Bluestraw there was huge presence by specialist presenters then , certainly something I think radio1 could do more of now. Remember the takeover where specialist DJs would swap into main shows for a week? Or do we recall In New DJs We Trust, the competition on Chris moyles show where the winner would get a DJ set at radio 1s Ibiza weekend, and that is how Danny Howard’s radio career starters
    • Yeah. He started on R1 in the late 90's when they used do the 'Sessions in the Nations' where they used to split for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. He then moved to daytimes, firstly on weekends in 2003 then they replaced Mark & Lard on the mid afternoon slot in 2004.  Then he moved to late evenings as a specialist DJ.
    • Thanks for sharing that - I don't think I've seen it before. Didn't realise that Colin Murray off of Countdown and R5L used to be on R1! Several other current R2/R5L/R6M names there too.
    • 29th April has updated to show Dan back as presenter but still Nels in for Alyx on Introducing Rock. 6th May schedule has updated to show that the Radio 1 Big Weekend Shows will now be the following: 6am-10am 10am-2pm 2pm-6pm 6pm-8pm Still no presenters listed.
    • Where do we think Radio 2 in the Park will be this year? Personally I'm thinking Swindon after Scott's clue of it having many roundabouts and since Big Weekend is at Luton I can't imagine they'd go to Milton Keynes.
    • Yeah, I feel like they need a big push on Jack to cement him in his new position. But it shouldn't just be Jack, you've got Sian and Alyx for instance, who are relatively new faces.
    • Now in it's third week, the new Capital Breakfast Show seems to be settling down well and there are more of the informal, random Jordan topics appearing.  Though it is clear he wants to be seen slightly differently. It really is a very decent listen.
