I forgot how hilly Nottingham is!

Really? I think it's quite flat. Although the university is damn hilly, I agree there.

What currently sucks in my life is the fact that I can't really make proper frieds with anyone at uni as I don't live in halls, and even though I love my flat, and the fact I can actually revise without drunken people interrupting me constantly, as well as the fact my boyfriend is being lovely, and the fact I'll have more money than anyone at uni not renting a flat, I still hate it that I'm missing out on so much :( I have spoken to a lot of people over the past two days, but not enough to make friends with them. I am probably gonna go out tomorrow night, but it's gonna be me and a bottle of vodka before I actually meet someone. My friend came up last weekend and we went out a couple of times - I made friends with some people there but they are not actually at the university - just some locals.

Otherwise, it's annoying that it takes me 1.5 to walk to uni! Good thing I'm doing law which equals lack of lectures :) Pretty much.

Oh, and I'm not a fan of the people doing my course - they are either geeky or arrogant :P

I'm done now.

Most places are surprisingly hilly once you're on a bicycle. By 'hills' I mean slopes really so that includes bridges that go over railway lines, rivers, canals, dual carriageways etc., of which there are a lot in this part of town. The University is very hilly too but luckily as long as you're not in a Hall at the bottom end of campus, you never really have to go to most of it apart from in Freshers week and for exams.

Where abouts is your flat, like which vague direction? The buses are reasonably priced if you get a bus card, can get ones just for term time.

I think you might like Cookie Club or The Social on a Wednesday and Rock City on a Thursday, they're good 'alternative' nights.

I don't know many law students - maybe there's a reason for that :P

Oh and what sucks in my life is I can't seem to sleep past 9am, I haven't managed to in several weeks, even though I didn't go to bed till after 3am.

Wankers who try to start fights with my friend just because he's 6'3. Ruined our night. This big bloke came up ot jimm and chucked his drink over him. No reson for it at all. Then he asked him to take it outside and tried to punch him. Still no reason. Then my fridnd escaped upstairs anf this ugy came up to me and said "where's your firedn?" and I said "I don't know" and we managed to avoid him AFTter that but so stupid and pointless. So we went home because my friend was wet and cold.

I had a few too many which id why this post is so badly wirtten. I apologise.

Feeling as if someone is constantly punching me in the stomach. Going to the doctors about it later (this also sucks since I hate doctors). My mate has been looking after me though and was the one who phoned the doctors to make me an appointment.

oooooo i know the feeling! i have to make an appointment later i feel like i am being stabbed!

My mates have completely stitched me.

Again, i'm sat at home. I'm getting sick of looking at these 4 walls. Getting sick of my parents (they drink, a lot), Getting sick of being unemployed and having no money, getting sick of certain people who lead you up the garden path then just leave you there... (Tara and Grace will know who i mean - Someone from my former job). Sick of other people ignoring me.

To be honest, i don't know where i am anymore. My mates aren't interested, i saw a couple of them earlier on and they just said hi and carried on walking the other way. since then i've found out they've gone out with all my other mates.

I'm bored of being a no-one.

Argh.

I think I may be leading a boy on. He's lovely, but no. :confused:

Same, actually. Oh, and I've somehow managed to end up spending an evening with him soon going to see a band I don't even really like, just because everyone else has found excuses not to go.

As long as I stay away from the alcohol, things should be ok. My life is complicated enough already.

I got a bit too drunk last night (I'd had a bad day AND it's Freshers') and lost something for the first time. It happened to be my wallet. With my dad's credit card in it :|

Aww I'm sorry to hear that Mike, Paula and Heather.

Heather, are you feeling any better at all though? I hope you do get better soon, it seems you've got ill at the weekend, something I always seem to manage to do, when it's a lot harder to get to see a doctor.

Paula, if you were at a club give them a ring, they might have it, if not, some people I know have been Facebooked/emailed by someone who's got their wallet and has given it back to them or they'll give it in at your department. Someone I know lost their wallet twice in their first term and both times it was returned, someone else managed to lose their cards all over town and got some of them returned by people. I would cancel them though anyway to be on the safe side (oh and hope your student card turns up, cos it's not cheap to replace).

It's half 5 in the morning and I can't sleep. My throat hurts. I think I must have some kind of virus now because I can't eat anything without feeling sick but my stomach actually feels fine and my throat is really sore. I'm avoiding alcohol and taking paracetamol but I think it must be freshers flu. Great.

I collect special coins, like Euros or Danish kroners with different pictures than the usual ones, and I really like my collection. It's not big, but it's okay. I had 16 € (8 coins) and 120 kroners (also 8 coins).

Yesterday we were talking about foreign Euro coins, so I thought I'd find my collection, just for fun. I opened the glass and took out all the coins and realized that the Euros were missing. All of them. And I know for a fact that I didn't put them anywhere else - on the 25.7. I wrote on a piece of paper what I had in the glass. If I had removed anything, I'd have written it down.

So, the coins appear to have been stolen. And it must have been someone in the house who did it, and now I'm just really pissed off at everyone here, because no one wants to admit to have done it.

The thing is, I don't really care about the money. It might as well have been 6€ or 50€. I just want my coins back, because I really liked them. Chances are I won't get them back though - if someone took them they probably already used them.

I know it sounds stupid but actually began to cry when I found out because I know that it will take some time until I've got 8 special coins again :(

    • Although a lot of their target audience do seem to be moving across to Instagram now.
    • I suppose it's because not a lot of people use Twitter (or X) so maybe it's not worth their time, surprised about Facebook though.
    • Surprised to learn Radio 2 and 6 Music are moving away from X and Facebook, I would have thought there's more appeal in Radio 1 doing that instead. Their target audiences still use Facebook, and it's still a key way to reach a good mix of audiences. https://radiotoday.co.uk/2024/05/bbc-radio-2-and-6-music-quit-facebook-and-x-publishing/
    • Just wondering…has any DJ got the answer wrong yet? I’ve not heard one and they are pretty tough questions! 😆
    • On the weekends theme @Bluestraw said this in the chatbox but I was listening live to James cusack's show yesterday and agree it would be a travesty if he doesn't feature in the weekend plans. Both the greg james fb page and users on digital spy are saying similar. Imagine that, being both part of the LGBTQ+ community but able to appreciate good presenters in 2024.
    • Tara Kumar is in for Sian on Tuesday 4th June.
    • I think at least part of the problem is that a lot of Danny's act is based around Drag humour which (a) isn't for everybody (b) has to be so tamed down for daytime radio, it just becomes silly and (c) it is humour generally consumed on a night out with lots of alcohol taken!
    • Oh boy, if that's the case above then what are they trying to do at r1? If Danny was put into weekend afternoons that's one hell of a faux par and a big nail in the coffin. While ok, Nat and Vicky aren't about to blow the doors off and are only there as the fallout of d&v, but to then follow that up with Danny for 3 days a week. Come on. To go from a place where we had Katie followed by M&M to that. What happened to the prestigiousness of r1? Do they need reminding they've just lost Jordan? It's getting embarrassing. Like I said before, when I had people with 0 interest in radio whatsoever and it was in the background telling me to turn it off, you know it's bad. I saw a random friend from years ago even posting on fb with how has someone like Danny ended up on r1. Everywhere you turn its negative. Doesn't that multiply across the uk in what the r1 audience actually think of this presenter? I'm in the LGBTQ+ community and also r1 target audience but I don't feel I want to listen to this presenter because of that fact. Has some policy actually overtaken the true risk of driving audiences away? The fact is just how @coffeeandgin said, Danny has had chance since March with 2 shows a week and is still not up to the job. The odd podcast yes but certainly not to replace m&m! I've skipped through 10 minutes of this week to make sure I wasn't basing opinions on how it was before and yes it is the same level. When you had presenters like Scott who could keep it fresh despite how many years it had been, but then Danny sounds so out of date already, saying you could tune over to Rylan on r2... but then with a topic of "I want to know what have you missed out on?" I'm sorry?! What kind of local radio is that... it's meant to be radio 1 ffs. Terrible talking points, cringe, unfunny, and so bad on the radio it actually makes it jarring and makes people switch over.
    • I don’t think it will be September it will be a very messy schedule if that’s the case 
    • As a member of the LGBTQ+ community my position is exactly yours on female representation.  Yes I want representation but only on merit.   Even if Radio 1 would like more representation from this sector, there are stacks of better options than Danny Beard.  
    • I hope you're right! I remember some years ago hearing that the biggest show at a weekend was mid-mornings, but not sure if that's changed with the changing pattern of radio listening in general. Given the best show at the weekend (by a distance) is M&M, would make sense that's now the biggest slot.
    • Someone on here said recently weekend afternoons have a big audience. I think you'd want some of your biggest talent here. Which is why there was talk of a reshuffle. I couldn't personally see Danny in this slot if they decided to keep him. 
    • I understand that representation is important. And I can't speak for the LGBTQ+ community. But, as a woman in my mid 30s, I have seen a massive shift towards 'having more women' in every industry/organisation in my lifetime. I have always felt that it should be on merit and capability to carry out a role effectively, rather than just filling a role as a specific gender. Women can be fantastic at everything, but on a personal level I would not want to be hired, for example, as a firefighter  just because I was the only female candidate. I am 5 foot nothing and could not carry you out of a burning building.
    • If they were going to do this, wouldn’t it make more sense to keep Danny at 10.30am and move Nat and Vicky to 1pm? I feel the idea of giving someone a job largely because of their sexuality isn’t particularly good either…
    • Right so prediction time. I think “Summer on Radio 1” which is on the schedule for Friday to Sunday 1-4 from June sticks around longer than the other changes in July. I think that lasts until September which is when we get the new weekend afternoon show. I think they’ll want to give Danny longer on air to see if they improve. I can’t see that happening, so my guess is in September they move Sam & Danni to weekend afternoons (at that point they’ll have been on weekend breakfast for a full year), and they bring James Cusack in to do weekend breakfast.
