Work, I want to stay in bed, or do something fun :(

Getting up at 0720 and leaving at 0745 to get to work, then do nothing until 5 then getting home is no fun.

there aren't many interesting jobs about at the moment >_<;

No.

Did she give a good reason?

I hate people who keep you hanging on (excuse the lyrics) and then let you down. Sixth form and late high school was all about that.

I know, and for some reason I always seem to be friends with people like that :S

It's fireworks night but I'm at home so won't be able to go see any displays apart from whatever I can see out of the window.

Oh well, fireworks are the same every year anyway.

I'm still trying to get interviews with several people but they're all still avoiding me and I've just spent £36 coming back to London for nothing really and going to have a crap dissertation without any interviews and will get a crap degree result :(

Pretty much everything to do with university sucks at the moment. I like actually being in Strasbourg but hate the uni, the organisation is terrible and the lecturers seem incapable of giving you straight answers as to what work you're actually supposed to be doing. The fact that I'll essentially be spending the next 6 weeks of my life revising things I'm not interested in for modules I don't like is also getting to me, as is the fact that everyone else seems to be having a whale of a time on their years abroad and going on road trips every weekend, whereas I'm stuck in my prison-cell room in a crappy hall doing revision day after day.

Anyway. Moan over. Just needed to get that off my chest. The one plus point is that I go home 6 weeks on Saturday... even that still seems like ages away though.

So save the last dance

For me my love 'cause I

I see you as an angel freshly fallen from the sky...

Slippery slope fallacy :D It's always like that, you think you're going to fail everything and suddenly the solution appears out of nowhere. You'll do fine. How long are you staying in London for? Most people find it difficult to say no even when they don't want to be interviewed so keep trying.

Oh dear :S I wanted to apply for a year abroad but I'm not so sure anymore... 6 weeks isn't that long, you'll be fine :)

Well people are actually ignoring me. One of them is the motoring correspondent for a well-known London newspaper. Journalists are notoriously difficult to get hold of but I've phoned him and emailed him with no response. My dad's PDA isn't working so he can't find me the phone number for the person in the police. And the cyclist guy just isn't getting back to me and I don't know where he works so I can't go and pester him. I am in London only till tomorrow or Friday, I need to get back to Nottingham really. Still, I got some useful books for my modules from the local library here.

being single again hmph....

ahwell

i have these really painful insoles i have to use which a consultant gave me. they really hurt my feet...

Sorry to hear about your newly single status. Still, it has some advantages.

My friend went to a consultant last week and got some insoles because apparently he walks funny and his dad does too and it's damaged his dad's joints so he is wearing the funny insoles to correct how he walks.

I'm watching Brief Encounter... didn't think it would be that interesting really but it is quite good and it's distracting me from doing my essay anyhow.

thats the reason i have them insoles. so uncomfortable

I suppose singledom does have advantages but i prefere not to be in that status. i dunno, i know this really great guy who likes me and i like him but i am gonna wait a bit.

Good luck Mike.

My train was late arriving today because it was waiting for a platform. So I missed my seminar. Or at least would have have been pretty late.

The dentist this morning! I was terrified, and it was only the "check-up" stage. I have to have 3 fillings, and a tooth built back up. I went to a new place. I note at least they have R1 as background music, which will make me feel a bit less nervous. I had asked to be sedated, but apparently it takes at least a month to be seen, they have to see your medical background, and you need to have someone with you to help you home. So, I'm gonna go through it non-sedated on November 25th. Groan.

Concentrate on the music Viv. I've had horrible things done at the dentist and find that it helps to just shut my eyes and concentrate on whatever's on the radio, or just any tune that's in my head.

I've just got back to Nottingham and 2 of my housemates just got back from a fieldtrip in Wales. The toilet is leaking and the fridge/freezer is broken so all of our food is going to defrost. Brilliant. The agency and the landlord are rubbish at getting things fixed quickly.

My week at home was a bit of a waste too as I didn't manage to interview anyone because they're all ignoring me and being unhelpful so my dissertation's a bit f**ed.

Having a massive row with my dad in which he told me he didn't like the person I'd become. I'd finally calmed down (he's got a fucking cheek) and wanted to relax to my iTunes library. The first song on shuffle? Daddy's Gone by Glasvegas....

Aww Grace I'm sorry to hear about your argument with your dad. He probably really regrets what he said, even though he may not want to admit it at the moment. Kirsty is right, dads do find it difficult to cope with the thought that their little girl is growing up.

Mike, I hate it when I get woken up early and I'm hungover, makes it feel 100x worse.

I've got to go to campus soon and read through a 63 slide presentation and time it to see how long it takes. It'll probably take waaay over the 40 minutes it's supposed to take. I hate group work and I'm not really sure why I agreed to do some of the presenting. I don't like talking in front of large groups of people, but I suppose that's why it'll be good experience and practice.

Sounds like you've just outgrown him, and he's threatened at the moment.

My mum tells me to this day I'm a "total embarassement". I just ignore it. :-)

Going to town, but my silly stupid overly-annoying flatmate wants to come too. We're leaving in ten minutes and she still hasn't washed, had breakfast or got dressed yet. I strongly dislike. I have assignments and want to make a start on them, not sat around waiting for her all day!

'Twas exactly what I thought. Problem is if you do, you might have to put up with her being in a strop for the weekend.

    • Tara Kumar is in for Alyx on Sunday 13th July.
    • Conor Knight & Lauren Layfield are in for Matt & Mollie on Monday 14th July.  Matt is solo on Tuesday 15th July.  Jerry is in for Mollie between Wednesday 16th & Thursday 24th July.  Maia Beth is covering Future Pop on Wednesday 16th & Wednesday 23rd July. On Sunday 27th July the Chillest Show is reduced to an hour, and 20.00-21.00 is a BBC Proms special with JADE. On Thursday 31st July 18.00-20.00 in place of Jack's show it's the Dance Party Warm-Up with Danny Howard (ahead of the Ibiza weekend).
    • Dean McCullough in for Greg w/c 4th August. James Cusack on EB.
    • Well looks like Mollie is off all month now so presumably a personal matter. 
    • Intrigued why Matt & Mollie aren't presenting breakfast on Monday, with James in for them instead (which has happened before).. or even James given a chance to present the breakfast show?
    • Sam & Danni seem to be down for Breakfast on Monday. James Cusack on Going Home. That’s another new name in the list of “people who have hosted Going Home in 2025”.
    • Wednesday, surely? But this is another mess, as this weeks Summer press release said it’ll be Sam & Danni no Jamie from the 28th - so it’s actually a whole week earlier!
    • Jamie Laing’s last show before his summer break will be on Wednesday 16th July.
    • I worked out once Scott spent 3 months of a year off his own slot in the Moyles days and more like 4 in Grimmys days, six weeks of his own holiday and projects, six covering Grimmy plus some ad hoc days 
    • Back on topic, I think there's quite a few of the current Radio 1 presenters who would be able to adapt to Radio 2's style in the future. It's more of question of how many of them will actually end up there. With much of R2's line up changed over the past couple of years, it's quite possible we won't see much movement there, and R2 management might even decide to look elsewhere to bring in new presenters in future.
    • With OJ covering on bank holidays. She is the best person for the job however... they're going to end up with a situation like Scott covering R1 breakfast back in the day, where she spends quite a bit of time off her own slot covering Breakfast, plus her own holiday and other commitments. She's been filming for something recently which has meant she's been off several days a week since May. She was off last week, on breakfast this week, OJ is on Mon/Tues next week, then She's off the following two weeks.
    • Looking back at this I would say now that Sara is the main cover - I think she has been reestablished as it now 
    • Purley on the R1 Dance station.. Someone on DS said don't expect to see any changes to the schedule on the new stations however if they are taking on Capital Dance with this, which they clearly are, which has live presenters 7am - 10pm except for the 11am mix then they'll surely have to have a proper scheduled set of shows. At the moment Arielle is the only "live" per say show and only "live" a few days a week with earlier shows being repeated Thursday Friday and Saturday. Connor and Charlie are clearly pre records but was this only for the time it was online only and they have already got a schedule ready to go on day 1? also of note is that Charlie is taking over a podcast as well as starting a new project with podcasting which makes me wonder if she is about to step back from Dance Anthems all together to concentrate on those and Connor takes over? So you could have Arielle doing 9-12 weekdays live then someone else 12-3 and Connor live 3-6 on R1D and doing Dance Anthems on a Saturday. 
    • As none of the Going Home Team aren't currently on the air, that's a bit if an issue. Considering most of the Dance DJs will be out there, I'm surprised none of them are being utilised to host the 1-4 slot that weekend.
    • Going Home presenters have done the last few years ?
