What sucks in your life?

Paranoid about my bike being stolen now after hearing about some stuff. I have two fairly good locks that I use but my bike is quite appealing to thieves, I'd say; it isn't cheap. I don't know why I'm worrying, the only places I go to and lock up is the pool and the library (but even then very rarely, I usually go out for a ride at the weekend). We have a lot of seat bandits where I live :(

I think a lot of people take their saddle with them, judging by the number of bikes without them in town.

I got two different types of lock, because thieves are less likely to be equipped to break both, so I thought I'd be okay, but then someone stole my dustcaps. What's the point of that?! All bikes already have them!

I also know someone who had their garage broken into and had their £500 bike stolen. They found bolt cutters around the corner.

Gah, stupid thieves. :x

Ohai.

I swear they mostly just do it out of spite rather than there being a need. I know a lot of bikes have a high resale value but stealing a £5 seat is just stupid.

i just can't get stuff off my mind, from when i wake up untill i go to sleep. been down and out since the start of december now, and i'm getting pretty tired of walking around with a false smile to keep everyone else happy. i've got a weekend away with friends coming up soon though, so hopefully that'll take my mind off things for a while.

I would HATE to do shifts. I swear I wouldn't even be able to speak!!

My cousin was down fixing the ceiling in our house. Whilst he was in, he noticed the ceiling is actually sinking.... so he thinks the wood underneath the bath may be rotting.

So while I have been gleefully having baths, the bath and I may have gone crashing down to a neighbours. Now, I've had to report this as a matter of urgency - so there will be a guy coming to assess the situation on Monday!!

My cold is really beginning to annoy me. My poor sore throat ... I have been up half the night spluttering all over the place, at the same time as getting a torrent of abuse off of angry Mills' fans - just because I didn't like something Mills said on the Show yesterday.

Get a grip, eh. God, the Internet world is one of insanity. At least I got 100+ new followers though.

Every cloud, every cloud.... let's sing it loud... o every cloud.

I applied for a new job ages back, finally got through the interview stage and driving assessments and a month ago I was told they would be contacting my referees. Phoned up today cos I've not heard from them since then only to be told neither referance has been sent back to them yet :(

Only slight consolation is I was told it won't affect my application at the moment cos I would be a couple months away from getting a start date anyway

Not impressed with censorship

    • 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??
