How frustrating, Orange have a £30 service plan offering unlimited texts and I was happy with that. Now they have a £15 service plan of the same thing, but I can't downgrade.

Oh boo to frustration. I'm on T-Mobile on my dad's business account, so I can't really help you re different plans.

I've sent them a snotty e-mail. I don't see why I should pay £15 extra when all I do is text. I have 600 minutes a month, and all I need is about 100 which makes this package ideal.

Now I have the start of a migraine as I'm going a bit dizzy :(

I don't really like Brown but I hate Cameron and the Tories even more!

I fine Brown very uncharismatic. For that reason I hope someone else gets in at the next election, or at least with local elections he falls flat on his face.

I think the lady from National Express was flirting with me on the phone when I booked my tickets for the Big Weekend. She kept making rubbish jokes and laughing a lot.

At the end of Sam Sparro it always sounds like someone has the microphone turned up and someone is tutting waiting to speak. It must just be on the record then!

Callum is seeing Franz Ferdinand at Latitude in August. I imagine I won't hear the end of that one...

Oh my gosh! Franz Ferdinand! Haven't heard these guys in years! *memories of Glasgow art school are coming to me* Good times.

What's Glasgow art school. And don't just say an art school.

Oh dear, the smell of cleaning fluids is starting to get to me, I think I could do with a sit down. :|

We haven't heard anything from Franz Ferdinand in a while have we?

Third album out soon.

Is Scott going to New Zealand to interview Wing.

How about Mad World off of Gary Jules. Got him to Number 1. He ain't doing much. Ah, DJ Casper is going back a bit isn't it!

Hotel rooms are tight in Maidstone? I couldn't find one bloody hotel! The bed and breakfast looks well nice though. I hope they're friendly people. I'd laugh if I was sharing the place with Jo Whiley or something :D

jono how about she shares with you? ;)

You'll have to ask Catherine about that one. If she gets hit by a bus then by all means, yes.

She could sing me to sleep. Do you think she's like theatre students and sing with jazz hands on long journey/planes?

    • What I assume is a very last minute change... Scott Mills is in for Rylan today.
    • 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.
    • Nat in for Dean with Vicky as well that day.
    • So the end of weekend afternoons this week - new show is July 1st.
    • Arielle is in for Greg on Monday 27th May.
    • 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.
    • Do these audience figures reflect Jordan leaving and Jamie replacing him?
    • I think Jamie is really starting to settle into the role well. He comes across as really warm, and genuinely invested in the listeners when he’s talking to them which is nice. I think he’s building a really great relationship with Vicki and Katie too. His recent great company podcast is great too, where he has quite a deep chat with someone new each week. He’s clearly a very genuine person and I think he has some real potential.
    • Most probably. But do wonder what the future of the relax themed programmes will be when they officially wind down that service.
    • I think it's just to replace Wind Down presents... which was in that timeslot, and I'm guessing Chillout Anthems was just a buffer since it'll still be played at 06:00 on Sundays.
    • With listening on the U.K. for the industry in general it is good overall as most stations reach is on the up and shows radio to be more sustainable and stable outlet than linear televisions channels. This RAJAR I think with the increase shift to DAB+ the BBC will be able to say it has it’s audiences for the proposed new stations it wishes to launch and think the new innovative ideas that it seems Jack himself can take credit for on the new music show think the younger under 30 gen z demographic could increase se in that time-slot.
