The daffodils are out all over campus, most of them have come out in the last week. I am looking forward to the clocks changing, since I am boycotting Easter this year, it will give some meaning to the day.

Probably less, aversion to religious festivals, more (I THINK) she isn't allowed chocolate for medical reasons.

Poor Lucinda. I'm not that keen on chocolate, but always have a bit on Easter Sunday.

Yep, that's why. My housemates keep buying Easter eggs and consuming them, despite it still being a few weeks off. I can't eat chocolate and I'm not a religious person, and I don't have a job to have public holidays from, so it has no meaning or purpose for me. My mum said she'll get me something nice that can't be eaten though, so it's not all bad.

i think it's starting to look better already, it was nice and sunny when i cleaned the car earlier. the light is lasting till around 6 and not long from now it will be 7. the latter end of last year went slow but since 2008 started it's going faster towards better weather. bring on the floods!

I really hope we don't have a summer like last year. I'm not sure I can cope with all that rain again. I'm sure they were some sunny days, but I was probably stuck indoors writing my dissertation and/or working!

Another month and not only will it be Easter, but we'll be putting our clocks forward to British Summer Time. Not often do the two events overlap, but hurrah for brighter evenings!

I prefer the wintertime.Its much easier to justify spending ones entire time on the internet when the nights are dark.Maybe one day if I ever get a life I might actually enjoy the summertime.

they should change it to daylight savings and leave it that way, so we get more light at winter and summer. in the winter, most people at work all day from the early hours until around 5pm hardly get to see any light.

      Radio 2 Schedule Changes

      I must have missed that yesterday, sorry! Scott did make the same tongue in cheek comment on today's show about Rylan. It's a shame Rylan isn't the go to cover for Scott, I assume his commitments away from R2 prevent that. I enjoyed his last cover stint. Spoony is the go to stand in for the mid afternoon slot (he's covering again week after next while Scott's off getting married).   In that case, I think you're right!

      Not that last minute. Scott was talking about it on his own show yesterday, saying he and Rylan have a deal where they cover each other's shows but Rylan only covers Scott when he can be bothered!

      Sorry I should have been clearer, I meant daytime weekday. Weekend shows would count as a 'step up' from overnights for OJ.

      If we're counting the overnight slot, OJ Borg regularly covers weekend shows.

      The only weekday R2 DJ who would ever cover a weekend slot?!

      What I assume is a very last minute change... Scott Mills is in for Rylan today.

      Radio 1 Schedule Changes

      Radio 1 at Parklife will be presented by Vicky and Nat. Nat is currently listed to present her usual Sunday show on that weekend but I imagine that will change and someone else will be doing it instead. The Radio 1 presenters at Download will be Daniel P Carter, Jack Saunders, Alyx Holcombe and Nels Hylton.

      Going Home with Vick, Katie and Jamie

      He’s definitely gotten better and the show has sounded fine this week. I think it been at its best when it’s been Katie and Jamie or Vick and Katie. Vick and Jamie are ok together, but I do think the show sounds better when it’s Vick and Katie and therefore I still don’t really understand the point of the trio.    Jamie is, however, a lot better than Danny Beard!

      The RAJAR coming on later this year reflecting later summer to autumn will be interesting to how it reflects Matt and Mollie in afternoons to the revised changes on radio 1’s new music slots and the schedule re-shuffling Radio 3 introducing a new slate of programmes. Then, later on this year have speech radio stations having domestic political coverage of the election but also America’s presidential election.

      I actually caught snippets of today’s show, and I found it much better than the last time I listened. I have made it no secret that I like Jamie on the radio, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed Matt & him together last year. People have criticised him for not being relatable, but I have to agree with the comment above that I have always found him a naturally warm person to listen to. Maybe the going home set up was something that needed settling in and things are starting to take shape.  It must have been difficult for him joining an established duo in Vick & Katie to begin with.  Jamie was great on something songs today, fully engaged in the caller and sounded like a real presenter. Maybe he is doing as a lot of us hoped and really learning as he goes, how to do it properly.

      Agree with this. The anti-Jamie feeling was IMO quite influenced by the negativity around him replacing Jordan, since Jordan was exceptional and also universally loved. When people mention Danny and Jamie in the same sentence about bad hiring decisions I almost choke - Jamie may not be perfect but he's several leagues better than Danny already and has bags of potential. Danny is poor and has shown zero potential...

      Jamie started 4 March, and the figures only going up to 31 March, so it isn't reliable. But it has shown the numbers have dropped in afternoons compared to last quarter. It looks like it's Capital's gain.
