It took nearly 2 hours to get to work when its normally less than one! :rolleyes: Stupid diesel spillage! At least it didn't take us 6 hours like last time! Any body else come through blackwall tunnel????? :P

If you click on any of the YouTube videos on the front page it takes you to Rick Astley (the biggest viewed video on YouTube for all the wrong reasons!)

Also myspace were quite amusing today... even though it's clearly not true.

I got caught hook line and sinker today. On This Morning they said the new fashion is Cheek Key trousers, where your bum cheeks are exposed.

Posh and Joss Stone were said to be wearing them.

D'oh. I've not been caught out before.

I was about to say no, i've been fooling today but (until 5 minutes ago) hadn't been fooled myself. My friend just said to me, after forgetting completely about the release of the Leeds festival tickets yesterday, "my cousin has spare tickets!". I got excited thinking we were going. It was a cruel cruel April fool.

Does it matter what day it falls on? It's still April Fools Day whatever the day.

Yes... It would certainly get boring if it was a Sunday and you were stuck with your family all day, where's the potential in that. There'd be no daily newspapers and there'd be no daily television to do their big tricks. No one would be in the offices and it'd be quite dull.

Do you not get newspapers on weekends..?

Here we have The Observer and the Sunday Times on weekends, oddly enough though no one reads The Times or The Guardian in the rest of the week. Weekend newspapers tend to have more planning put into them. All in all, this year's was pretty lame.

Well maybe the broadsheets have more interest, but that's not the same with the tabloids, who usually do the April Fools' tricks.

The Sunday Newspapers have a lack of humour. They're more bothered about scandal than reporting what's really happening. There's no local newspapers on a Sunday either. So I imagine April Fool's Day would go a-miss amongst all the scandal and lies reported.

      Is big weekend the only place to get long boi merch? It's sold out! I'd love to have got my hands on some.

      Considering the price of some festival event for a small portions can be pricey but it isn’t too bad that could get it with chips and other roast dinner bits. I think when you are billed as a touring high profile DJ there’s always a risk of playing out familiar tracks from other artists in the mix. Especially on a line-up with Chase and Status and Rudimental who will be playing pretty much all tracks written, produced and released as their DJing names.

      Who presented Party Anthems on stage?

      Lots of adverts for Matt and Mollie around the place, alongside the rest of the weekday lineup, but no mention of Dean and/or Vicky. Although I notice those two are doing the photobooth today, as is Danny Beard…

      Yesterday was excellent pretty much all day. You can tell a lot of work has gone into the festival and the set up was really good. The ground is fine for anyone worried, I wore old trainers and they’re still fine today.    Merchandise is available for some high prices. If you’re going for Longboi merch get it early as they sold out within the first couple of hours.    The photo booth is also good and we met Vick, Katie and Jamie for a few seconds and got a photo. If you’re doing this get there 15-20 minutes before the advertised time as they’re only 30 minute slots. It’s right next to the main stage so you can see everything going on there from the queue anyway. Most of the acts we saw were excellent. Becky Hill and Ella Henderson were brilliant live. Rudimental and Chase and Status were absolutely incredible. Nathan Dawe wasn’t great, played 3 of his own songs then dodgy remixes of Marvin Gaye, Dolly Parton etc. Went to Dimension halfway through which was must better. Saw 15-20 minutes of Eric Prydz which wasn’t really my thing but his staging was excellent.  The DJ sets in between everything were pretty good, especially Matt and Mollie and Charlie Hedges. Sam and Danni were a welcome change as they played indie anthems for a while although I think they may have just been the pre recorded anthems they usually play on weekends (still better than Nathan Dawe). Food was good, but pricey - £15 for my main meal of roast pork, stuffing, chips and Yorkshire pudding. I was surprised they were selling multipacks of Madri and bottles of wine, especially the latter as people were walking around swigging from glass bottles in the middle of the crowd then dumping them on the floor… the rubbish was a mess at the end of the night. Probably one of the best live music events I’ve ever been to, a real credit to the station.

      While there were some technical issues (tracks temporarily cutting out, mics not working at first for radio listeners, 'studio team' sometimes jumping in at quite random intervals) Party Anthems on stage seemed to work well and I sort of wonder why they haven't done it before. I guess it depends on when gates open but if gates open around 1/2pm then no excuse not to do it- it's a DJ set which they have loads of across the weekend and acts as a warm-up so the crowd are hot for the first main act.

      They mentioned on air that it's before Joel Corry's set.

      The two larger studios either side of the Live Lounge are 82A (aka 82Mills) and 82D.  The 4 smaller ones nearby are 82B, C, E & F.  The brand new ones are nearby on the 8th floor and are 82K, L, M & N.  All of the London-based R2 and 6M shows are coming from the 8th floor, some in the new studios and some in the original ones.  Obviously there are a lot of shows that come from elsewhere in the country such as Birmingham, Salford and Cardiff, but any in London come from the 8th floor.   In terms of R1 at the moment:   82A - Greg James, Danny Howard, Jeremiah Asiamah 82B - Early Breakfast Mon-Fri, Dan P Carter, Sarah Story, Charlie Tee 82D - RMC, Going Home, Future Artists, Future Pop, Rave Up, 13.00-16.00 Fri-Sun 82E - Official Chart, Chillest Show 82F - Dance Anthems, Kenny Allstar, Indie Show 82N - New Music Show Salford - Dean & Vicky, Danny Beard, Nat O'Leary, Life Hacks Cardiff - Sam & Danni
