i got chatting to someone on this website and quite like him. i won't make him blush and name him, but i was wondering do you think it could work whether it's just friends or in a romantic way? (and if we do meet i won't be cooking him pasta!) :D :kiss:

Not "love" necessarily... It's easier to get to know people. I can admit that I have fallen for someone I met online (he went to the nearby boys school, timing issues meant we could never meet properly).

It's easy to fall in love online actually... You have time to think about what you're going to say, so you don't end up looking like a retarded fool. But then meeting in person can become a real downer if you are a retarded fool.

It depends. I never used to believe in love at first sight, but then I found myself falling hard and fast with one guy.

I met my girlfriend through myspace. She added me and we got chatting. I think you can often tell if someone is right for you, it's often whether the other person can work that out about you.

I met Hannahisgreat through Unofficial Mills, and I'd consider her a good friend. Certainly if I need a geeky chat about Radio 1 I turn to her. We went to the Christmas parties at Radio 1 together as she's quite close to London. After a year of talking it didn't seem that weird.

I've been in a case or two where the person on the other end of the line doesn't want to meet you and it just seems to turn into lust based on drunken chats. It's not a good situation to be in, as it appears you're loving someone and they're just lusting. It's not something to be proud of.

PS. Oh, and what happened between the Chaos and Danni romance?

Seriously I wish people would stop falling for me all the time. :P

I think while it is possible to fall in love with someone you chat to on-line. You have to remember that people CAN be different in real life...not always but they can be.

Sometimes here, sometimes not.

I don't think you get any points for being honest about being a 50 year old perv though :P

I think it's possible.

I met my best friend online - aaaages ago. We would never be a couple as he lives 2000 km away from me and I've only seen him twice but we always had a thing for each other and we don't really like it when the other person gets with someone else :) (although he quite likes me current boyfriend, so I'm safe) So yeah I suppose it depends on the distance...

I've made some great friends through the internet, most of whom I've never met. I think it is possible to fall for people online, definitely. I find I am more confident talking to people online and tend to get into deeper conversations more quickly than when I meet people in person.

I got to know my current best friend/friend with benefits better through MSN messenger when we had a very long chat one night despite living only a few hundred metres apart from each other. Before that, I'd only really talked to him in passing and we didn't know each other that well.

Oh dear, tragic mental images of Andy B being Lucinda's FWB! ;)

"This takes me back to days in the war..."

No offence Andy but absolutely not!

My 'FWB' is someone I met in person through uni.

Yes, I have met Andy B, and several other people from this site.

And what's that then? What benefits? You mean they claim disability allowance or something?

Edit - HANG ON! - WHADDYA MEAN "Absolutely not!" - I'm bloody gorgeous me!

Sorry but I'd never date a smoker.

I can't help thinking a friend with a good job would be better than a friend on benefits... (have a look at your signature Jono.)

    • 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. 
    • Conor Knight is in for Sam & Danni on Saturday 8th & Sunday 9th June. It's Radio 1 at Parklife, 13.00-16.00 on Saturday 8th & Sunday 9th June. Matt & Mollie are in for Greg from Monday 10th to Friday 14th June - it's just Matt on the Thursday. It's Radio 1 at Download, 13.00-16.00 on Friday 14th June.
    • Rajar looking healthy this quarter, with the numbers staying fairly stable. 
    • It's made it into the Daily Mail as another reason to bash the station. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13417631/bbc-radio-2-facebook-tiktok-instagram.html  
    • I expect that the axing of Chill Out Anthems may be related to the decommissioning and shutfdown of Radio 1 Relax. I assume soon BBC could announce or make official when it’s going to be shutdown
    • The next RAJAR will be putting a lot of pressure on Aled. Will his decisions over Danny Beard and Jamie Laing and to lose Jordan North pay off? If not, it is likely bosses will be looking for his successor.  I am interested to know what fans of the station think?  Ian Chaloner who worked for Greg, Scott and Grimny before rising through the ranks must stand a chance. He is now mainstream editor.  An outsider choice but Greg's former producer Chris Sawyer would be great. He has the creativity and has held the ship well on breakfast. Although I know he is no longer with them.
