I agree, Roy, and it's maybe going even higher - to 70 - who's gonna survive that one?!

Well, I have no hot water until Monday - brilliant. Luckily the shower is still OK, but it's annoying. It is apparently "not an emergency".

Raising the retirement age to 66 sucks!! They want us to work till we drop dead so they dont have to pay out anything in pensions. It also means less opportunities for school leavers and new graduates, PAH!! :x

The thing that annoys me is that they have reduced the amount of years of contributions you pay towards the state pension BUT you still have to pay whilst your working. So for me I only have to pay 30 years worth, been working for most of last 13 years and am currently. still have 29 years if retire at 65 and no waying of not paying NI Conts. By the way won't get my state pension till am 67 when checked it about year ago. Got to read up on budget to see all the other stuff:cry:

The raising this pension age is just ridiculous. By the time you get to 65 most people are running out of steam, and just want to stop and spend time with family/friends, grandchildren. Or have time on their own.

Also, many people will have timed their private pensions to be released at a certain time, now they need to rethink everything.... Their whole lives basically to re-suit all this.

my mums lost her job, but it's not like my folks have any big debts to pay off. so it could be worse. and my dad's job is doing well, so it can be covered.

thing is, i think i'm going to be down a job if friday nights get any worse. if i do lose it, i'll have to sell my car to get money and it'll break my heart.

I know what you mean. I just put mine on ebay today. Its taken like 4 months to do it because i dont want to see it go, but it cant stand any longer. its heartbreaking

take control

i've only had it since the spring though, hardly broke it in yet! :(

mind you, it might not even come to that if i can find other work to replace the lost funds.

What sucks? Well, homework, idiots at school and my crappy bike. I wish I had a road bike, then I'd be able to own everyone else on the road. I'd be able to go so fast....

Never mind.

Being £20 down because I had money on the Dutch winning tonight, however I do get some pleasure at the childish comment left by my lesbian, girl-stealing, idiotic workmate and her equally idiotic perma-tanned f*** stain sister about being glad Spain won because of a bet that was on. So childish..........

The rain is really beginning to annoy me too...

Today, I am slightly cross, but am going swimming later, which should cheer me up!! Woo!!

Send the rain to Switzerland... I was on a farm the last two weeks and they're all waiting for rain; it hasn't rained since about 4 weeks..

My fridge is broken.

That's pretty cack. You'd better start eating FAST!

I have been ill for days now. I don't like to complain in life but I'm having a crappy day and I just feel like a moan....so there it is!

Sorry to hear this. Sending you big hugs.

I have a totally incapacitated with backpain and painkillers Timsk in bed. Not feeling too hot today myself either.

We're all falling to bits. Getting old...

I don't even know if this works, being on my phone and all....

I hate being in "The Hudd" travelling backwards and forwards to the hospital twice a day, doing nothing else and being exhausted all the time. I thought when we got him back home it'd be fine, but then he was rushed in again, and these problems were all caused by doctors' mistakes in the first place, on top of his original illness. Hmph.

I'll be back on here properly on the 3rd. There'll be loads of stuff to catch up on. The only day I listened to Scott was the day the signal went, then my batteries ran out.

:(

Oh, and happy birthday to those who've had one. :)

Ohai.

Get well soon my little geeks! It's rubbish feeling ill - I have a sore throat starting and it's not fun :(.

However, next weekend I shall be in Leeds to see Starman so all will be well by then, fingers crossed!

Boohoo to the sore throat.

Hahaha starman will be hilarious, did you see Andrew Stone on BB?

I woke up this morning and it has gone already, yeees! Haha no I didn't, what was he doing in there?! I forgot to watch :(. Starman tickets are only £7 each, what a bargain!

    • 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 ?
    • Nat and Vicky are being sent to Ibiza this year. They’ll be live on Friday 1st August from 1-4pm.     
    • Since Radio 1 Dance and Anthems have been allowed to broadcast on DAB, do we think they’ll be a proper schedule of shows like on Radio 1 Dance with the morning show and Dance Anthems at drive time. Maybe Lauren Redfern, Tyler Selby, Chrissy Cameron or Matt Hallsworth will be scheduled on named shows like Hits Radio 00s or Capital Anthems rather than the generic ‘Radio 1 Anthems’ show. Obviously it would probably cost more to produce actual shows on the station however.
