Regarding the girls kissing.... I wouldn't have an issue with this personally.... But, from your teacher's point of view, you are at school to learn, and even if it was male/female kissing, I'm inclined to think you should be asked to stop, and maybe keep it to private time.

I agree.

On one hand, from having friends who have been in lesbian relationships and an ex who claimed to be bisexual, I can totally understand how homophobic attitudes or perceived homophobia can hurt and upset the people concerned.

On the other hand however, if I read your original post correctly your friends even hug and kiss in the classroom? Thats not on in my opinion, whether it be a hertosexual or gay/bisexual relationship. People are entitled to be in any kind of relationship they want to be, but at the same time there are those of us out there who are not comfortable with seeing couples all over eachother and if it is within an environment such as a school I don't think its unreasonable to ask them to leave that for in private

Can't really stop her though. Meh.

If the teacher's stopping people doing something on the grounds of their religion, then it's probably classed as a hate crime (in this case homophobia) and is against the law.. The Head would probably be the best place to go about that...

i'm seeing things on facebook and it's bringing me back down and really hurting me. i'm going to have to log out and leave it for a while i think.

Yeah DC, that is ppossibly the worst thing about Facebook, something goes wrong and then you have a virtual record of everything. It's a disaster waiting to happen. Happened with me, and I've abandoned it now, just isn't worth it.

I'm going all serious I guess. I've completely lost control of my emotions again. I haven't been to college since monday, and I just don't want to leave my flat. It's driving me insane, literally. I really honestly dunno what to do anymore....

Been a while since I moaned so here goes....

Usually people having time off work would be a good thing but I've realised why I took hardly any in the last year. Had a long weekend last weekend, again this weekend, off next friday and off the whole of the week after, and I'm already bored. My friends are either skint or working so I don't think i'll be able to do anything with them. Fortunately I have free prints to claim from a camera shop so that'll keep me busy for a few hours on monday, and yes people I mean hours, got 300 of the things to claim.

A friend seems reluctant to tell me there is something goin on with another of our friends, He's been very cagey with everyone when it comes to talking about it but he's telling others a lot more than he is me. Apparently he's convinced himself I genuinely like the girl, when it actually started out as a joke which if I recall correctly he started. She's a nice enough girl, but not really my type and I only see her as a friend, but its nice to know the fact he thinks I like her wouldnt make him question getting with her. hmmmmmmm

I applied for a job with a local bus company back in November to be a trainee bus driver as I'm sick of my job and the shit pay, and wanna drive for a living. Got a letter a week later saying applicants were being looked at, and I phoned yesterday and was told that they're waiting to call me in for an interview which could be another 3 or 4 weeks away :(

I have the actual worst friends ever (apart from some weirdo named Fez who I love very muchly). It's been a week and I've spent my days in the library, etc. I have no social life, so my life now consists of glaring through eyes of resentment at evil ex friends on facebook, reading (I've read like, two books this week, and have four to finish by next week), homework (including extra homework I have made for myself) and early nights. Oh, and some Irish serial drama, named Raw.

Anyway, they hate me, and it's all going crap. I ended up crying in the toilets on Thursday for nearly half an hour. Meh.

Problem is, my mum has organised a birthday sleepover thing for me, and is buying pizza and etc, and lending me her chocolate fountain, and letting ALL my friends sleepover for the first time ever. So, I'm gunna have to invite them, and well... It's a few weeks away, but still.

Oh, well. I LIKE hiding in the library and reading and doing homework. It's fun.

OMASM. Radio presenters are like fruit. Matt is my kumquat and Scott is blatantly my orange.

i hit the gym today. for almost a year i've been hitting the gym 2-3 times a week which dosen't include swimming, which i got to 100 lengths on wednesday. it's about the only thing that's keeping me focused, when the summer comes i'll be doing more outdoor stuff.

you know i've been trying to sum it all up today, i don't think i can. but i was thinking how when people say 'there's plenty of fish in the sea', it's quite insulting. taking into account that i haven't even come across a stickleback on my journey.

Took my car to get a pre-MOT check done last week and got told theres several things it'll fail on. I've given the guy the money to get the replacement parts, and he said he might have been able to fix it yesterday or today, but I've not been given a call about taking the car round so I'm stuck waiting as he advised me not to drive it much because theres a serious problem with the steering :(

Its a friends brother (he's a mechanic) who is doing it, he's done work for me before and I paid for parts upfront so I don't doubt it'll be done, just fed up having a car I'm wary of driving anywhere now

    • 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.
    • 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.
