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...

    • The shows surely being driven for him so all he has to do is talk between the tracks and he can’t get even get that right 
    • I thought the same to that comment, the license fee is going on me babes 
    • What with Jamie Laing, now him. Is it time for a new Head of the station?
    • He also just said coming up we have brand new segment, I thought they were a band 🤣 how did this man get on Radio 1? Aled needs his head testing. It’s an insult people who deserve to be on the radio 
    • Of all the times not mention capital it's probably now? Jordan is flying on breakfast with chris & sian and there's a presenter on friday and saturday that doesn't know who a main r1 artist, tldp are. Mentions capital which surely has to be a big no no given recent events and then says the licence fee goes to me. Talk about vom. We can't have it on here no more as it's that unlistenable and I'm about to switch back for m&m, but this is a Maya Jama x50 level mess of a show. Forget fading the microphone down, the entire show needs fading down
    • As positives go, at least Danny said what the last song played was and upcoming song played was. Plus I guess in that link are perhaps ideas for content (asking listeners to come up with bands from things around them, things that have happened to them this week). That's where's the positives end. It comes across as no thought has gone into what Danny will say next. It gives me proper flashbacks to some Jamie Laing links (especially that one show where he was unexpectedly solo). It's ironic that for all the duos and trios on the station - the one show and DJ that is positively crying out for another DJ to help show them the ropes is left all solo. At least with Jamie Laing they learnt their lesson and he's not been left solo since.
    • How he was just faded out at the end of the link reminded me of the Oscars music fading you out 
    • RPReplay_Final1713612277.mp4   You’re welcome
    • At a time when Radio 1 has surely lost listeners to Capital at Breaktast you’d be trying to protect the station so people switch back.  Certainly yesterday I didn’t switch back to Radio 1 at all.
    • Was abysmal…Surely Danny can’t be a contender for anything permanent when the new schedules are locked in I.e Matt and Mollies slot 
    • Alexandra Burke creating the phrase 'Elephant In The Room' whooooooooo
    • Zane Versus.... Whooooooooo. Do You Do Fridays? WhooOOOooo.  
    • The Capital Breakfast show is right up my street so far - such a fun listen. You've both been great on Radio 1 and are sounding excellent again on Capital A few quickfire questions: You've both been part of some great pairings on radio and on podcast - what goes into making a duo or trio work and sound great on air? Also, Chris - were there ever any discussions about you moving over to Radio 2 with Scott or had the Global offer already come first? Also how do you both go about managing that split between your radio 'you' and the private 'you'? You share a lot on air but also there's some understandably some stuff you keep private (famously Jordan doesn't 'talk about those things'). And how do you make sure if you're having a miserable day or are a bit low that it doesn't come across too much on air?    
    • What a nightmare link at 11.15am this morning. Spent 30 seconds waffling about the name of The Last Dinner Party as if he’d never heard it before, then started mentioning Capital and the license fee, and how it’s been used to pay for him to be there, and was then cut off by the start of the next song.
    • Have been reading this all week. She's such a brave woman. Just got to the chapter where she explains why she missed Scott's leaving event at Radio 1. She talks about leaving Radio 1 because her mum's health got worse, and wanting to quietly leave radio at 44 just how she first arrived on the airwaves at 18. Worth a read!
