:o Of course it's not a physical act, it's all about emotions. I cannot believe that people actually ENJOY one-night stands. Then again it's not something I've tried so I can't really talk.

It's not really a one night stand though, is it? If it's a friend I guess there is a certain amount of emotion in it. Not that I'm condoning it here.

Yeah I know, I was referring to sleeping with people in general as opposed to sleeping with your friends.

Actually when it comes to it I find it difficult to have friends of the opposite sex without there being some sexual tension in there at some point. This opens up the whole When Harry Met Sally debate. Having fuck buddies is just one way of dealing with the issue.

I think sex is both a physical and an emotional act. Some people are better than others at separating the act from the emotions.

I find it quite difficult to be friends with girls (as most of the time they annoy me haha :D Gutted as I go to a school for girls :P). I have quite a lot of male friends but for some reason people don't believe there are no emotions involved when you're friends with a boy.

I do. I mean I have a mate who I see as more than just a mate but most of th guys im friends with are just that - friends.

But do they see you as just a friend?

I have fairly recently lost a friend over this because he couldn't deal with me not liking him in the same way that he likes me.

Another male friend was getting a bit touchy-feely last weekend when he'd had a few beers. I think he's just lonely and frustrated though.

Good point Lucinda. I certainly was able to separate the two in my first year at Uni. I considered most of my 'boyfriends' from that time as F buddys really.

I have quite a few male friends with whom the issue of sex honestly doesn't get in the way of our friendship. Mind you, lots of them are gay. Right fag hag me...

I haven't needed an F buddy for quite a while. When you're in a good relationship it shouldn't be necessary really.

Just for the record I have never had a 1 night stand but I have had one or two people in the past who I could call up and if they were available have some fun with. We didn't really do anything else together so we're not friends in that sense. Buddy's is a good word. Like drinking buddies. People you only see in the pub. These were people I mainly only saw mainly in the bedroom.

And yes I'm great at separating the act from the emotion when I want to.

I also have friends of the opposite sex that I'd never dream of sleeping with. They're more like sisters to me and i'm not from Norwich!

Sometimes here, sometimes not.

Most of them do actually. It is possible to just be friends. I know a lot of people who disagree with this but I have also worked with a lot of guys and am in a course where most of my coursemates are male and am friends with them all without wanting to sleep with them all and most of them dont want to sleep with me.

Does anyone actually believe in friendship between boys and girls?

I would... but recently most guys I know have been flirting with me quite heavily.

I definitely used to. Girls are too bitchy for me and I get on really well with lads.

Going to an all girls' school, being seen talking with a guy means that you're sleeping with him though...

Practically all the guys at my college don't seem to be able to flirt, its bizarre.

:S

That or they are in a relationship. Finding a decent, single bloke seems impossible sometimes.

I know what you mean. It never seems to be 100% friendship. One of my best friends was madly in love with me. 2 of my good friends are my ex's. I had one friend (whom I miss quite a lot) with whom I was very close with, too close. In the end he couldn't just be friends with me, and I felt quite sorry for my boyfriend who did not like us being friends very much, although he didn't complain. So we stopped being friends. I haven't seen him for a year... Just to clarify, we were never FWB, I DID have a boyfriend after all. But yeah after that I sort of stopped believing in friendship between boys and girls.

Argh going to an all girls' school is awful. They call us sluts on the hill for some reason :( And everyone is indeed very bitchy, it's unbearable sometimes.

Flirting is EASY! How can they not do it? The main problem with London is not so much finding someone decent but rather finding someone decent who lives vaguely in your area. I'm trying to fix my mate up lately and whenever we go out we can always find the people but they always seem to live on the opposite side of London to us. There's no-where good to go out where we are.

haha :D Is it a baseless accusation or is there a reason for it? There are two or three girls in our school who look and act very desperate and that's probably the reason for our name.

Well, considering there's 35 girls altogether... It is quite well founded. I haven't really added to it, but most guys from the nearby boys school have had a go at a fair few girls here.

      Going Home with Vick, Katie and Jamie

      By R1Fan1 · Posted

      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.

      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.
