What sucks in your life?

Not really a big moan, but whever I see 1 of my friends she seems to be informing me of "gossip" which I don't know anything about nor have any interest in.

The other day she wouldn't shut up about someone who caught her eye over the weekend and I got the whole story there, including the details of the inevitible dramas. Yesterday I was getting all sorts of stories about how she'd been off on a date with that person and had ended up going back and having a lot of fun blah blah blah. At least she acknowledged that she tells me details about her love life etc and when I give advice its almost always ignored.

Don't get me wrong, shes a nice girl and I don't grudge her a love life at all. Its just she always seems to meet people who have baggage or ends up running into problems with them very early on. I've said to try and be single for a while and just have fun, but like I said, its advice which falls on deaf ears

I can see why though she doesn't try that though, being single sucks big hairy donkey balls...

I know it does, I've been single for over 2 and a half years and in that space of time I've had virtually no interest/attention from the opposite sex.

My problem is that this is almost every month, someone new will come along and she'll get really into them only for dramas etc to start very early on. I've lost count of the number of times I've said to her if shes having problems after only having just met the person then its not a good sign and mabey she should just call it a day. I know from experience the gay/lesbian world can be a rather bitchy and bitter place when things start to go wrong, possibly more so than the straight world.

I just think there comes a time when someone has to perhaps put a hold on getting involved with the emotions of a relationship and concentrate on enjoying themselves and having a bit more fun, be it the physical side of things or just having a good time with friends. Not that I'm saying give up on love and be only out for 1 thing, but just to take some time out, away from the stresses of relationships and enjoy being single.

I keep overthinking things and all I am now able to see is how I'm being screwed over constantly... all that is missing is the why, but then there is ALWAYS something vital missing, either something conveniently omitted from what I'm told (or sometimes a blatent lie)... such as why I'm apparently NOT ALLOWED to have ANY of the very things I might actually ever want in life, only stress, hassle and endless shit... when good things DO happen, I soon feel like I'm being punished with double doses of shit. What did I do to deserve that? and why do I bother continuing with any of it?

There's also that feeling I can't shake that even worse is coming... it's like living the NOTW thing...

No I'm straight, but I've had lesbian and bisexual friends and at 1 point I was very close to a lesbian couple, so close infact that I think the only time I wasn't doing things with them was when they were in the bedroom haha.

I'm no longer friends with the couple and they're no longer together either, but when I was friends with them, I would hear stories from them about other girls they knew, and when they had fall outs and eventually broke up it was rather bitchy and bitter, more so than any straight relationship I've ever seen.

Perhaps its unfair for me to throw gays into the same catergory like I did to begin with, as my experience is just with the lesbian side of things, I just assumed it might have been similar there as well.

Dating sites... if you don't meet anyone, you can at least get a good laugh at the strange profiles on there.

I know it doesn't help much when you have a broken heart though :(

Umm well I don't have a job any more, but that's the thing with temping, I'll hopefully get something new soon. I'm struggling a bit with insecurity about things at the moment. That and I feel like I'm going to pass out sometimes. I actually did pass out while I was in Australia, not really sure why, so the dizziness worries me when it comes on.

I thought/hoped this weekend would sorta help with the way I've felt lately... what should have been a good weekend has gone spectacularly south and made me feel even worse and reminded me of the endless pain, so yeah... thanks life. I give all and all I ever GET lately is pain. If it's not physical it's emotional and I'm bloody sick of it. The Moral of my life seems to be NEVER have hope, because it will ALWAYS be crushed. Every. Goddamn. Motherfucking. Time.

It's not so much a feeling of being under a cloud (or if it is, it's a big one that stretches far beyond the horizon) but more like being suffocated under a really big pillow... all I know for sure is that if that continues, I'm just going to let it ALL end... sick of the uphill battle and it's already sapped the strength I had. This is where I quit now. I hate this whole situation where I'm Right and there's nothing Left for me...

I'm about to change jobs (driving test permitting) and its not really felt that strange till today. My manager mentioned at work this morning that this may well be my last week, and its only now started to feel very real.

Having said that i'm becoming increasingly nervous about the theory test as well. I was told i have training for a week then have to sit it. I've not touched anything on hazard perception simply because i don't know what cdroms are up to date. I assume the hazards will be similar for a bus as to a car, but with the obvious extras like bridges/tunnels and narrow roads thrown in.

I just keep having to try and remind myself that the personel department have told me that its only a small percentage of drivers don't actually make it through their training.

Well, it's summer and all that.. wooo! But I have to babysit my brothers for the rest of the week, and for a few more weeks.

So far today, one tried to kill the other, there's been 2 arguements and now the littlest is saying that he hates the other, and refuses to come into the house until the other one leaves. And none of them will have lunch, and the one in the garden is still in pjamamas and won't get changed because he doesn't want to go into the house etc. etc

I was meant to go out with my friends today, but i'm stuck at home with the devil children. Story of my life.

    • 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?? 
    • 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.
