What sucks in your life?

Heather that girl sounds horrible. I feel sorry for you because I had so many housemate troubles in 2nd year. She should have apologised for that random bloke walking into your room and cleaned up after him at the very least. I'd like to hope that he was drunk. And he should have taken one look, said "oh sorry it's not the bathroom" and left your room. Bringing randomers home is one thing but thinking it's fine for them to wander into your flatmates' rooms at 4am is completely out of order. Do you have any other flatmates? I know it's upsetting that she's said these things about you and Rich but it sounds like you might be better off without her living there (although to be honest that's likely to be an empty threat, unfortunately).

We did mock GCSE exams before Christmas, but I was ill, though I still did them. Now we've got them back, I got a D in Biology, and now my predicted grade has been changed to D from A* even though I got A*s in the other modules. ...And you need to get a C to get into college, and you're meant to tell them your predicted grades. I want to take Biology, but I don't know what they'll think when they read my report that says I'm not conscientious anymore. It wasn't even a real exam! UGH!

Ohai.

You'll be invited to an interview with college, and you'll be able to explain the grade discrepancy there, I'm sure you'll be absolutely fine. Maybe take along some biology work/coursework which demonstrates your understanding? This won't be the first or last time that the college has heard of a problem like yours, don't worry too much. Good luck. :)

My best friend has just been diagnosed with epilepsy :( .

Oh no :(

My brother has epilepsy. He's okay, he's learned to live with it and with the medication, but it's still not nice. Like, I think he would like to take the driver's license, but he can't because he sometimes gets these epileptic seizures. It doesn't happen often, but in order to get the license he's not "allowed" to have any for a specific period of time.

Anyway, he's been living with it for years now, and he's alright - he really doesn't have many of these fits. He's "used to it" now, more or less. It sucks, but I'm sure your friend will be okay :)

Yesterday was rather dramatic. I was alright until about a 11 yesterday morning, but then after that, it all went wrong. I can't remember much of what happened next, I know I was in the quiet room at college with my friend Iain, and I was on the floor, totally deranged and wanting to die, and throwing all my stuff around, bashing my head against the wall and telling him to fuck off. and swearing a lot according to him. I only know that stuff cos of him. and then I was talking to the college nurse. Shes called my GP, I've got to see him on Monday. I've scared everyone shitless and I'm probably going to have some bad news on Monday.

I mean, I should of seen this coming on Wednesday, I really wasn't right then either. I think it's safe to say now that I'm in a lil bit of trouble here...

I'm pooooorly. But well enough to feel okay enough to do things and moan about it a lot.

Also, I am a fricking spazz and left my prescription at the Geek's so now I have to trot around the countryside to his house then to town and then to mine then back to his when he's done work otherwise he can't get in his house because I'll have his keys.

There/ They're/ Their. Different words.

Being in the dog house with my friends.

Havent had a proper night out in a long time cos my main friends either lost interest in going out or had no money to do it. I met a friend of a friend who is always up for going out it seems, and she asked me if i fancied it last night so I went out. Problem is I was also out with someone who my main friends really hate and she was seen in my car and to cut a long story short I got a text havin a go at me for goin out without my usual crowd, accusing me of using them till I found other people to go out with.

Not happy, and actually quite hurt

Er.... maybe change your friends?? Good grief.

I'm not entirely sure whether it was meant as a joke because if it was genuine anger its not like her, she doesnt usually get pissed off with me. 1 of my other friends who was with her last night gave me a call not long ago to talk about doin somethin today and he didnt seem pissed off or even mention I'd been out last night.

Part of me thinks it might have been cos she was jealous she couldnt go out, I'll possibly be seein her later on today anyway so if she says anything I'll remind her than I always said I missed going out and its alright for the others cos they're in relationships but I won't meet anyone by sitting in their houses every weekend

have you been on those naughty sites again!?

I was foolishly updated windows and it caused loads of registrys to cock up. Seems fixed now though yey! Took me bloody hours.

Agreed. Fancy wanting Scott's house as a B&B as well. The cheek. The absolute, undiluted cheek.

It was said mainly because he was on the radio I imagine, wonder how many texts if any came in saying he could stay?

    • 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.
    • Agree with most of this above. Listening to only vick and katie today, I was thinking that it doesn't need Jamie. Its very jarring how sometimes he's there and sometimes he isn't. I don't think it needs to be a trio. Surely there are bigger problems at the moment, Danny on a pretty big slot on the station is literally unlistenable.
    • Yes, the length of the time on the station does help as with Annie Mac she did what dance specialist DJs kind of get a bit more favourability with the evening listeners who start out on something specialist. With Annie Mac she did years on dance before going to the flagship new music specialist programme with giving opportunities to new DJs and curating the playlist and having something different from Clara’s more music daytime show where she had to work with the playlist. Had she done more time doing a specialist show later on in the schedule it may have oddly made the moment bigger. Think sometimes what has helped create such a unique sound in presenters and personalities like Annie Mac, Jack and Grimmy for example starting out doing a late show with looser format. Think for the next Jack, Annie and Clara’s of the station do need to have a late live slot and do hope when radio 1 relax is shut down that maybe they change the power down playlist for something with bit more freedom.
    • She is a good broadcaster no doubts but am of the same page with feelings mutual.
    • Clara was always a decent, competent and even good music radio presenter. But equally, she never provoked really strong emotions in me that I must listen or must switch off.
    • Jamie is definitely very divisive though.  Some people's "radio comedy gold" is other people's "unlistenable".  I have liked Matt and Mollie, Matt on his own, Mollie and Jordan etc etc.  But couldn't listen to Matt with Jamie. No hate on Jamie but I just don't like his sense of humour.
    • The dynamics of this are interesting.  Jordan works best with people he knows and he already knows Chris and Sian so from day one it should sound fairly natural.
