I've seen The Kooks today and I couldn't get their autographs or pick.Some people asked the security when would The Kooks leave the stage and he said 3 minutes later. And after 3 minutes we were asked to get out of the concert hall.

By the way,the concert was below my expectation because there was no climax at all.

A bit gutted anyway..:(

I've seen The Kooks at the Uni of East Anglia. I was really disappointed and they didn't talk to the crowds either. Yet at Radio 1's Big Weekend there was a great atmosphere. Seems they can't cope with smaller gigs.

YEP. And I was standing in the front roll with 2 amplifiers in front of me,it was really loud and I covered my ears all the show. I saw Luke stared at me for few times...

When Luke came down the stage and someone pulled his jeans off and we saw part of his...:D.I even took a photo of it ( I didn't know that until I saw that photo in my camera,but that was really unclear).

Having to go back to my normal department tomorrow night.

Eddie Halliwell not being on Radio 1 tonight... I liked his show.

Reading in the local paper about people who were in my year at school getting really, really good A-Level results.

Feeling like a failiure.

The school not giving me proof of an ICT qualification (which I do have), so I have to do ICT at college now, until I can prove that I've got a GCSE in it, which knowing my school could take months to get. :(

I watched What's eating Gilbert Grape today and was in floods at the end of the movie. Still on quite a low.

And then I was on the phone to one of my closest friends who's moving up to Edinburgh next week for uni and I know I'm not going to see him as much as I want to.

Just took my kitten to the vets for his injections (he's growing up so quickly, he's 14 weeks old already!) and the vet told me he's got a heart murmur that should have righted itself by now but now they just have to keep a really close eye on him. Poor Charlie. He's getting extra big hugs off of me to make him feel better. Am sure it'll work.....

I went to WHSmith today and bought a lottery ticket (my mum decided we should all get them, as it's a rollover) and the girl on the till ID'd me. Very embarrassing.

If I look 15 or younger, I want my half price rail fares and free bus travel!

My mum seriously panicking about me going to uni. She seems really on edge and snapping at everything I do (including only losing 3 ums points in maths... Results day was fun :|). Everyone's moving away now. My brother and his family are moving to Swindon in September, my sister's just moved to London and my dad is moving to the Middle East for business. My mum was planning to move either to London or the Middle East but she doesn't want to leave Birmingham anymore.

But... The other day I saw in her internet history she was looking for places in Norwich, so I brought it up and she had a right go at me saying that I purposely applied to places far away from home so I could do whatever I wanted without her knowing. She only knows about one of my serious mess ups and I changed everything about myself to make her happy, but she still thinks I'm an idiot.

*sighs* I don't know anymore. She said she hated how much I text my friends, but she won't let me go out when I want to see them or let me use my computer to talk to them online.

Sometimes I think she should be the one in therapy.

Most of my friends are on holiday at the moment. I've got hardly anyone to talk to on MSN or whatever.

I barely know anyone who uses MSN now. Either that or everyone blocked me. I guess it's the Facebook effect.

Me neither. I end up barely using it myself during term times. But I do still have a few friends who use it, about 2 people I talk to from school and a few others I know from online, plus I talk to my friend from uni on it because we're both bored at home. Most people I know seem to think they're too old and busy to use MSN regularly.

Tara that sounds really bad, I hope you manage to escape your mother and get some space of your own. While I can see that she's worried about being left alone when everyone moves away, following you to uni isn't the right solution.

Thanks Lucinda. It's slowly sorting itself out and my dad is having a word with her now. Pointing out how I'm much less of a failure than my brother and sister were when they were my age seems to be working, though it's probably not the best method.

Another thing. Went to LaSenza today and my friend was getting measured so I thought I might as well get measured too.

I'm now eligible for reduction surgery on the NHS... Because that's a milestone every girl wants to reach... I don't look it because I have a small back size, but still... Gutted.

I don't know what to do. I went on a date yesterday with this guy, which was lovely. I got home and spoke to one of my male friends, who I really like, and he's shown he kinda likes me. He asked how my date went, and I told him how it was lovely and everything, and he got all upset with me. We kinda argued about it, and the argument ended with him telling me that he was all upset with me because he loves me. The guy I went on a date with yesterday asked me if I still want to meet up with him, which I kinda do, but kinda don't. Now I know that this guy does love me, or so he says, and I kinda love him too, I don't want other guys. I can't even have the guy I love though, for other reasons. This sucks.

Chris, being single rocks. It's totally the only way to be. Admittedly I didn't think so at 20 either but when you're 25 you'll see what I mean. You don't have to consider anyone else, you don't have to worry about anyone else, you can come and go as you please with whom you please and you don't have to answer to anyone. Your spare money after bills is your own, you can sleep completely diagonally in bed after wrapping yourself completely in your duvet and snuggling into both pillows at once without anyone whinging at you. You don't get into a row for ogling a random girl's chest, you can watch football and go out with your mates as much as you like without ever feeling guilty about it...

What's not to love?!??!!

The thing that currently sucks in my life is the fact my cat is whinging like a spoiled brat and I can't understand why....

My supposed best friend talking to me once and hardly replying to any texts over the entire summer because she is spending all her time texting my stupid brother who she is going out with.

Thanks ever so much for just dropping me.

There/ They're/ Their. Different words.

    • It doesn’t look like he’s doing any Mondays from now on? He’s not on the next 3 at least. So the schedule currently is: Monday - Vick and Katie Tuesday - Katie and Jamie Wednesday and Thursday - Katie and Jerry
    • That's correct. Vick according to the schedule is Mondays only for now and Jamie is Monday-Tuesday with the schedule both saying he's in and on not in on Wednesdays. 
    • Absolutely LOVED the 1tros! Listening back to this brings back lots of memories! Thank you for posting 
    • Spoony in for Sara Cox on Wednesday 25th February.
    • Emil has posted a story on Instagram saying good luck to the returning team next week. Vick, Jamie and Katie are all tagged. So all three likely back together on Monday.  Vick also been back filming Country File today. 
    • Scott opened Thursday by immediately clocking the pace of the inbox, saying it was “one of those mornings where you can tell people have woken up ready to talk.” Ellie Brennan and Tina Daheley were both in studio, with Scott checking in on them and joking that “we haven’t even warmed up yet and you’re all already in full voice.” The early links were light, with Scott narrating what was coming up and reminding listeners they were heading into “a proper Thursday show.” There were quick resets, music breathing space and familiar back-announcing, with Scott repeatedly acknowledging how fast messages were landing and half-laughing that “this is already a lot before seven.” Ellie noted that voice notes were stacking up unusually early, while Tina commented that people seemed keen to respond to each other as much as the programme. Motherhood chat, but not a phone-in The main theme emerged around motherhood and social media expectations, introduced by Scott reading a listener message about feeling like she was “constantly failing compared to what I see online.” Scott paused on it, saying “this comes up a lot, doesn’t it,” but was careful to keep the show moving rather than letting it settle into a single-issue phone-in. Ellie talked about how curated feeds distort reality, while Tina pointed out that “nobody posts the day where everything went wrong.” Scott reframed the discussion several times, reminding listeners that “you’re hearing highlights, not real life,” before deliberately breaking the run with music and a reset, saying they’d “come back to this — but not all at once.” Voice notes, relief and shared laughs As voice notes came in, the tone varied. Some were reflective, others lighter, with Scott reacting in the moment rather than letting each one sit heavily. When one mum admitted she didn’t enjoy every moment, Scott replied simply, “you’re allowed to feel like that,” before immediately moving on to the next message to stop it lingering. Ellie noted quietly that a lot of messages ended with apologies — “sorry if this sounds awful” — which Scott picked up on, saying, “you all keep apologising — you don’t need to.” He then undercut the intensity by joking that “this has turned into group therapy before 7am,” before laughing and playing a record. Listeners responded to each other as much as the show, which Scott acknowledged on air, saying it felt like “people talking to people rather than just talking to us,” while still steering the programme forward. Pause for Thought and breathing space Pause for Thought slotted neatly into the running order, continuing the theme without deepening it. The speaker focused on compassion, comparison and letting go of unrealistic expectations. Scott thanked them afterwards, saying it “fits with what people have been saying this morning,” and deliberately left a short pause before moving on. Ellie observed that the slot felt like “a natural breather” in the show, which Scott agreed with, before resetting the mood with music and lighter links. The handover Scott handed over to Vernon Kay by briefly outlining what the morning had been about. Vernon picked up on the listener response, saying it sounded like “one of those shows where people really got involved.” Scott agreed, replying that “they really did today,” and mentioned the volume of messages still waiting.
