Tell them to sod off DC.

i wish it was that simple. but the guy who got me the work there is telling me not to burn bridges with them, so what do i do?

i'm getting sick of this anyway, i might go and see if i can work for sky or cable or something. i did some tv tuning and ariel fitting around the home on wednesday and i enjoyed it to be honest! i might take a look at a new profession.

they tried to get me to do saturdays before i said i'm somewhere else, now they are trying to get me to another day sunday or wednesday. but i don't want to know. i felt unconfertable with the managements attitude, they were very cold. and that's before it filled up with gypsies and rats.

Well I can see why she ended it, most people would do. If he really felt that bad about her he wouldn't have strayed though. It can't be that bad for him to try and commit suicide, being dumped shouldn't do that. Maybe try to see if that's the only problem?

My neighbours suck. Friday - I decided to have a nice, quiet day, but .... not a chance!!

All of a sudden, BANG!! Shouting, glass smashing, people running everywhere!!

The police were up at my neighbours, to search their home, they wouldn't let them in, so they broke the bloody door down altogether!!!!!!

If she is everything to him then what's he doing with you? They both need their heads banging together if they both tried it just becuase she dumped him.

It's a selfish act to try to commit suicide, even though most people have probably thought about it even me a few times. But to split up and then both try it is just plain daft.

i agree with Steph, if she means everything to him why is he with you! sounds like he wants to have his cake & eat it,

you love him & so does she is that how you want to carry on? you have to think long & hard about what you want to do, you may regret it now but it would be over & done with, otherwise in years to come you could still be in the same situation that has consumed your life & you will regret it even more.

Oh dear Danni that does sound like a really messy situation. It's obviously not that easy for you to sort it out but Olly really does need to sort his head out. It is horrible when someone you care about is feeling suicidal :(

What sucks is that it's monday tomorrow and I'm on my way back to London when I'd much rather be in Nottingham.

I'd rather be in Nottingham right now too tbh. Stress is doing my head in, what with college and managing my flat, it's just too much!

I've just had to come back from Newbury because we're moving house again (the whole landlord thing i posted about before), but that's not what sucks. What sucks is that a very good friend tried to commit suicide just before i went down there 2 weeks ago.

Part of me resents my dad even more after this whole fucking thing over the last 6 months since we moved, it feels like i'm useless up here, and part of me feels so, so guilty and like a rubbish mate.

Danni I guess he thinks he can keep stringing you along despite this new girlfriend. He is being extremely selfish and seems to enjoy messing people around. It's been said many times before but really, you would be so much better off without him in your life. It hurts, but there are times when you have to get somebody out of your life when they're only doing bad things to you, no matter how much you care about them. Best of luck, you deserve someone so much better than this who can be happy committing to one person.

tell olly to get fucked. i don't know how it keeps happening danni, but you keep getting the wrong men. spend some time single going out with friends, but if you do need someone try looking for someone who is not suicidal and then maybe the depression wont spread and cause problems.

What sucks?

Drama School sometimes feels like more stress than it's worth, time is going so fast, and we're so stupidly busy that it becomes very difficult to do what other uni students do, lounge around getting drunk!

Also, Scott Mills: The Musical feels like a lifetime ago! (apologies for being so inactive on here at the moment, as stressed before, life is more hectic than I would like at the mo)...

Oh well, rant over. I hope you're all well and happy. And Danni - you deserve someone committed and loving, just like you.

    • To give Dance Anthems some credit the 'Classic Anthems' do these days seem to have some fairly recent tracks from the last 2-3 years thrown in. I do think dance they can get away with a bit more as tracks from 10-25 years ago seem to be pretty timeless and as popular as ever. Though having more 'Classic' Anthems than current anthems on Dance Anthems does seem a bit for a supposed new music station. It wasn't a criticism of any of those specific artists to be clear. More just that it's as if Radio 1 just pick particular artists as their chosen ones whose new songs will always make the playlist come what may (which often includes those mentioned) while others while they get 'off peak' play never come close to the playlist even if the music absolutely fits Radio 1 and has an organic popularity. Absolutely get them wanting to champion new music but often they only really do it to a certain point and with certain artists.    
    • But he is posh, the opposite to Jordan. Not down to earth. You’re right, the show does play on it. If I’m honest, I stopped listening to Going Home, the day Laing started. Sam and Danni were better. 😂
    • 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??
