What sucks in your life?

Theres evidence to suggest I have autism/aspergers. After Watching Embarrasing bodies tonight, I took a test which can help determine where you are on the autistic spectrum. I came back with a very high score.

it's something I've dwelt on before, especially when AC, who has aspergers, lived with me. It's normally diagnosed in childhood, but considering how messed up my childhood was, I wasn't diagnosed with even my dyspraxia for a very long time.

I'm not thinking about this too much, but I'm going to make an appointment with my GP to explore this.

I did that test and came out with 45 I think, which was very high! My little brother has dyspraxia and aspergers so I guess i wouldn't be surprised if I had either to be honest and I have always thought I was dyspraxic.. I suppose i better do the same..

Had too deep a sleep....having some difficulty getting going this morning....

The sleep of the living dead. Had a dream about the lady who does the taxis in Coronation Street. The one with the blonde hair. Basically we were down the beach together, she had suitcases, and she was leaving to go sailing for the day.... leaving me behind, feeling a bit sad. Hmmmm

Also apparently there were fireworks outside the building where I live between the hours of 0000 - 0200 hours, and I never heard a thing.

I'm sorry to hear about your loss, Alan. My granddad died this November, and my grandmother died November 2006 (I think...). Both times, we knew it wouldn't be long until it happened, but that doesn't make it any better.

Sorry to hear about that Alan, I've just seen. Hope you're doing okay :).

What also sucks is the news I've just found out about Bernie Nolan!

Quite sinister really that she's the third sister to contract the disease. Wishing her all the luck and strength.

Bored. Don't feel like reading. Well, not the book I have with me. Want to play forza but it's at my house. Can't sew because the artificial light here is horrible. Geek is being geeky. In one of those horrible moods where I can't decide what to do. Very annoying final fantasy music is very fucking annoying.

I may have to resort to violence.

I'd go home but the food is here. Which I also can't eat till he's done being geeky.

Jeez. Is it July yet? At least then I'd be able to do what I feel like doing.

There/ They're/ Their. Different words.

Not so much my life, but I fell so sorry for Danny Miller! If anyone (not that you would, because you lot obviously have lives, unlike me) watches Emmerdale, you would know that this year it has been the best it has ever been, with the whole Aaron's gay storyline. They were up for more awards than any other soap. Danny Miller, the actor playing Aaron in Emmerdale was up for more awards than any other actor! Danny Miller won nothing. Emmerdale won one award. Eastenders won TEN. Hurmmpph.

Yeahh.. I sorta became obsessed with Danny Miller. When I wasn't on UM, I was on Aaron/Danny Miller sites & on YouTube channels dedicated to him talking about him and watching him on repeat.. *sigh*

Had a run in with some stupid useless arrogant moody little blob at work this morning, had a go at me for having one of my headphones in. This was long before the shop was opened I might add. She then proceeded to lecture me on health and safety and all that waste of time and effort.

This isn't the first time me and that bad mooded disgusting example of human kind have come to blows either, she was extremely rude to me last time she was in our store and I gave as good as I got. Surprise surprise, she went and whinged about me that time as well......

At my school we can listen to music through headphones in art and graphics, and that could be considered dangerous, what with the knives and chemicals, but we're still allowed. I don't see how it can affect health and safety in a shop, especially when it hasn't even opened yet. And one headphone? That's barely antisocial - you can still hear everything. Half my lessons are like that... She's just over zealous and pernickety in my opinion.

Ohai.

well this one is known for bein pretty anal about the slightest little things and apparently if I have them in it means I can't hear things like fire alarms, however I heard her moronic tones pretty clearly when she first spoke to me this morning. I got that bit in when I was "apologising" to her, told her I couldnt prove it but she'd have to take my word for it that I only ever have 1 in and its pretty low precisely because otherwise I wouldnt be able to hear things like a fire alarm. All I can say is thank god she's only filling in for someone else on maternaty leave because otherwise I'd actually have kicked her back to wherever it is she actually comes from

We got away with listening to music during the photography exam - but the department are pretty lax when it comes to that kind of thing. And a lot of other things really, but I'm not going to have a rant about that now.

My goodness, that's a pretty funky donkey!

    • So the end of weekend afternoons this week - new show is July 1st.
    • Arielle is in for Greg on Monday 27th May.
    • He’s definitely gotten better and the show has sounded fine this week. I think it been at its best when it’s been Katie and Jamie or Vick and Katie. Vick and Jamie are ok together, but I do think the show sounds better when it’s Vick and Katie and therefore I still don’t really understand the point of the trio.    Jamie is, however, a lot better than Danny Beard! 
    • The RAJAR coming on later this year reflecting later summer to autumn will be interesting to how it reflects Matt and Mollie in afternoons to the revised changes on radio 1’s new music slots and the schedule re-shuffling Radio 3 introducing a new slate of programmes. Then, later on this year have speech radio stations having domestic political coverage of the election but also America’s presidential election.  
    • I actually caught snippets of today’s show, and I found it much better than the last time I listened. I have made it no secret that I like Jamie on the radio, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed Matt & him together last year. People have criticised him for not being relatable, but I have to agree with the comment above that I have always found him a naturally warm person to listen to. Maybe the going home set up was something that needed settling in and things are starting to take shape.  It must have been difficult for him joining an established duo in Vick & Katie to begin with.  Jamie was great on something songs today, fully engaged in the caller and sounded like a real presenter. Maybe he is doing as a lot of us hoped and really learning as he goes, how to do it properly. 
    • Agree with this. The anti-Jamie feeling was IMO quite influenced by the negativity around him replacing Jordan, since Jordan was exceptional and also universally loved. When people mention Danny and Jamie in the same sentence about bad hiring decisions I almost choke - Jamie may not be perfect but he's several leagues better than Danny already and has bags of potential. Danny is poor and has shown zero potential...
    • Jamie started 4 March, and the figures only going up to 31 March, so it isn't reliable. But it has shown the numbers have dropped in afternoons compared to last quarter. It looks like it's Capital's gain.
    • Do these audience figures reflect Jordan leaving and Jamie replacing him?
    • I think Jamie is really starting to settle into the role well. He comes across as really warm, and genuinely invested in the listeners when he’s talking to them which is nice. I think he’s building a really great relationship with Vicki and Katie too. His recent great company podcast is great too, where he has quite a deep chat with someone new each week. He’s clearly a very genuine person and I think he has some real potential.
    • Most probably. But do wonder what the future of the relax themed programmes will be when they officially wind down that service.
    • I think it's just to replace Wind Down presents... which was in that timeslot, and I'm guessing Chillout Anthems was just a buffer since it'll still be played at 06:00 on Sundays.
    • With listening on the U.K. for the industry in general it is good overall as most stations reach is on the up and shows radio to be more sustainable and stable outlet than linear televisions channels. This RAJAR I think with the increase shift to DAB+ the BBC will be able to say it has it’s audiences for the proposed new stations it wishes to launch and think the new innovative ideas that it seems Jack himself can take credit for on the new music show think the younger under 30 gen z demographic could increase se in that time-slot. 
    • Conor Knight is in for Sam & Danni on Saturday 8th & Sunday 9th June. It's Radio 1 at Parklife, 13.00-16.00 on Saturday 8th & Sunday 9th June. Matt & Mollie are in for Greg from Monday 10th to Friday 14th June - it's just Matt on the Thursday. It's Radio 1 at Download, 13.00-16.00 on Friday 14th June.
    • Rajar looking healthy this quarter, with the numbers staying fairly stable. 
    • It's made it into the Daily Mail as another reason to bash the station. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13417631/bbc-radio-2-facebook-tiktok-instagram.html
