2 things suck today.......

1) theres great weather outside and I've got nobody to enjoy it with cos as far as I know all my mates are either at college/uni or workin :(

2) my car failed it MOT yesterday because of a sunstrip on the windscreen, yet oddly enough the same person issused a pass certificate last year with the same sunstrip on the car

(Please don't give me any stick for havin a sunstrip, I've heard it so many times before. I like it because it helped with sunlight, and had the logo of the touring car team I support and it made the car feel a little more like mine, hope that doesnt sound rude)

I drank too much last night and the club was really hot and crowded and I didn't feel amazing. And my housemate made me walk home in freezing fog, couldn't see beyond a few metres ahead, and I was wearing a short skirt and a thin top. It was quite a long way, took over half an hour.

It was fun round my friend's house but they were making me do shots of rum for some reason. Urghhh horrible. At least my 1pm lecture got cancelled.

I know the reason for a sunstrip failin an MOT (the wipers and apparantly obscuring visibility)

I'm not going to get into a debate with anyone over this, but the reason it gets on my nerves so much is its primarily on there to block out lower sunlight and it had been on the car for 1 year and 11 months (not long after I bought the car it went on) and the wipers function perfectly well, so well infact that I've not replaced them for as long as I've owned the car. As far as I'm concerned its health and safety rules throwing their weight about again and interfering in an area where simple common sense should suffce

Ah, we're trying to get my uncle's Ford Transit Tipper sorted for the MOT. Quite concerned whether it'll pass or not - spent so much money on something that really should have just been scrapped! I know nothing about stuff like that yet I'm left ordering the parts online.

are there shorter blades available for your car so the strip is legal before the re-test

Right. I spoke to my best friend this evening, and I've seriously screwed up. I've got a lot to do to make amends, But it's going to take time, because it seems to me as if he really dislikes me. And yet hes still giving me a chance... Even if it means I've got to do some serious work to make things right.

But hes worth it.

The student loans website is nearly as useless as the job centre.

I've been locked out of my Student Loans account for 2 years now. It kept telling me my Art ID was wrong. I did phone them and the Scawtish bloke said he'd unlock it for me and send me a new password in the post but they haven't. Last year I printed out all 60 or so pages of the form and filled it all in and gave it in in person. But I need to be able to log in to sort out paying it back or most likely, not paying it back for quite a while.

    • 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.
