I would like to extend a massive FUCK YOU to the arseholes who descended on Edinburgh today for a "protest".

My first Saturday out on a bus on my own and it couldnt have gone any more stressful. The great unwashed were apparently originally told they weren't allowed a protest, I believe it may have had something to do with Muslims and 9/11 so I can see why it wasn't allowed. However they decided to pitch up anyways, never seen so many police in my life in 1 area of the city.

The hold ups, and chaos which followed was (as a driver) almost unbelievable, for a good 2 or 3 hours I was hearing radio messages every 10 minutes telling what services to go where as certain routes were closed. Personally I was 1 of the re-routed drivers which was stressful enough. Add to that the fact that the protestors then came down the opposite side of the road I was on shouting and bawling which was a bit uncomfortable, and then to see something kick off in my rear view mirrors which lead to the road being shut and I believe I might have been the last vehicle, or certainly 1 of the last, to be allowed through a police block before the road was closed. All of this was getting a bit much for 1 of my passengers as well, she came up to my cab asked if we would be alright where we were, I reassured her about the unbelievable police presence around the bus and that it had several CCTV cameras which genuinely do record. Even though I said all that she still got upset, I could hear what sounded like crying coming from close behind me.

Oh, and when I got out the area of the city center, I still had people moaning because I was running so late and there didnt seem to be any other buses nearby either. The main bulk of it all happened early afternoon and by late afternoon all roads etc were re-opened but the effects on times/delays were still being felt till after 7pm.

Lucky you !! Hope you enjoy it !! :-0

I feel very low this morning, and the high winds aren't helping with my mood. Apparently it is to get worse later.

I wish I hadn't worn my work jacket earlier, there was a point where I may as well have unbuttoned it and used it to fly to work...

I knew nothing of this strike till yesterday night on my way home from work. I'm very confused by it because I don't understand any of it, but I've ended up becoming a member of Unite through my work so I don't know whats gonna happen (I didn't feel like I had much choice in the matter because literally every single person in my depot is a member). I'll be voting against strike action because I never believe it solves anything but I don't know if it'll be worth not striking because of the hard time I would more than likely get from others should I be seen as a strike breaker :\

Got a rejection letter back from a job I applied for yesterday... It said the usual crap :

"Sorry.... on this occasion you have been unsuccessful" .... I was pretty pissed off so I sent back an email with the word GOOD in really, really big letters ... And I mean BIG LETTERS.

Won't hear from them again, I reckon

O, and I spent a full five mins. looking for my glasses and they are on my face.

Finding myself at a whole new low now... screwed over by fucking life and stupid Circumstance YET AGAIN? WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK? I have nothing left to hold on to here, and any time a tiny glimmer of good comes along, something happens to kill it...

How many times do I have to be hurt or let down by how many people before something I do about it makes a damn bit of difference?

Sure there's a light at the end of the tunnel, it's the express train coming right at me.

Told ya before privately... you need to be a lot more selfish - why not try it this weekend, or when you have time off. Do stuff just for you and f* everyone else.

Fuck's sake, today is going SO FUCKING WELL. First this morning I nearly get run over by some utter TWAT in an L Reg bleeding Volvo going through a red light, then some twat screwed up at work... AGAIN so I didn't have everything I needed, trains were packed with luggage so I couldn't get all the way through, seems a manager was aboard and has now fucking reported me because I couldn't get through... and another manager is making threats and false accusations.

I HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF THIS SHITTY DAY IN THIS SHITTY PLACE... wouldn't be such a problem if every bloody work day wasn't like this...

    • Fair play to Jordan north who’s got himself to 5th least distracting, but Greg has managed 8th MOST distracting, and Rickie who is 12th most distracting.
    • 29th April has Alyx Holcombe in for Daniel P Carter on the Rock show and Nels Hylton in for Alyx on Introducing Rock. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Monday 6th May (May Day Bank Holiday) schedules are completely different. Looks like it's a Countdown to Radio 1's Big Weekend day. Changed timeslots in the morning as well with no presenters listed. 6am-10am (Breakfast slot changed from 7am-10:30am) 10am-1pm (Mid morning/early afternoon slot changed from 10:30-12:45pm) 1pm-3:30pm (As normal) 3:30pm-6pm (No Newsbeat) 6pm-8pm (Replaces New Music Show) Rest of evening schedule as normal.
    • What does that even mean? 😂
    • Not sure what it really means, but Scott Mills is one of the least distracting DJs according to new research. https://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/cars/article-13283609/Most-distracting-radio-podcast-hosts-driving-revealed-Mark-Wright-Chris-Evans-list.html It says Radio 1 though, which is not only inaccurate, but also I can only imagine it applying to his Radio 2 show. How many sounds effects did he used to play on Radio 1, ha.
    • I would rather do the new music show than the breakfast show early starts, being cheery and entertaining isn’t my vibe and being hip and on trend. With new music it’s a different kettle of fish that could get my teeth into and enjoy researching and planning of the show and coming up with ideas and making my mark in away that I don’t think I have the ideas for a breakfast. I don’t see how it could be alienating but I enjoy the niche and speciality of expertise that new music shows gives it’s good spot of giving you the headlines and setting the agenda of mainstream music.
    • Absolutely, Jack is such an incredible broadcaster already, incredibly entertaining with such brilliant music knowledge and his excitement is contagious, I've never really listened to New Music Shows like Future Sounds but I'm instantly invested in new music due to his show, as I'm sure many others are too.  yes the effects are a little strange but after listening back they're strangely charming when you get used to them. 
    • Jack has smashed it He was born for this show, he said he’d been dreaming of it and you could tell. Such passion and energy as always with Jack but in a show that can grab people’s attention and drag them down the rabbit hole of new music if you had a keen interest in discovering new music but haven’t in a while, new music shows can be alienating with no familiarity until you ‘get into it’ - the new show has ensured you can ease into to get back into sync . i love the Zane influences - he will be the forefront of where every emerging and returning artist wants to be with this show . Very excited for this chapter
    • Oh I though they were nbh studios   
    • Yes, I feel that unless it’s for a special sessions with a large ensemble band that for live sessions going out live on the radio. Never saw why they haven’t used the live lounge studio and feel that room could be used more.  
    • Interesting now Zane has for apple interviewed anything from an artists that have charted and doing less interviews with new and emerging talents chatting to Shakira, Usher, Kelly Clarkson and Shania Twain. Yes, that is a positive thing about Jack Saunders. Although I don’t mind it from time to time for a presenter to be honest and spill an unsavoury opinion about music on the station like Annie did with Fall Out Boy.
    • Interesting Jack mentioned they've got new studios at Maida Vale; you'd think, with the move to Stratford, they wouldn't bother update the studios so close to the end...
    • I assume it's meant to appeal to a TikTok generation
    • Yep Jack is very much Radio 1's modern day Zane Lowe - but with the bonus that he does feel a bit a bit more open-minded and open to chart stuff than Zane was. I could never imagine Zane being a chart host the way Jack is - I always had the sense if Zane didn't approve of your music taste he'd make you well aware of it.
    • I will still call them sessions as feel with gigs it makes you think of a live tangible means of going to listen to a band play music and not virtually tuning in via the medium of radio.
