Definitely. I like to have an opinion on things. It's never right to express an opinion on something you have never tried - people do it all the time and it's incredibly annoying. Experiencing those things makes you much more credible.

No. There's a lot of things I'd be prepared to try but some are just plain stupid and dangerous. As far as foods go, I'm unable to try as many things as I'd like to because of health problems. As for sexytime, like Grace, I think there are some very horrible sounding things out there that people do, some of which are also (for good reason) illegal, so no.

Hmm it's a difficult one really. Everything is a big word. I mean I wouldn't want to try sniffing coke from a steering wheel in a car doing 180 that I was attempting to steer with my feet.

That said I learned a long time ago that it's better to regret something you have done rather than something you haven't done. Plus forgiveness is easier to obtain than permission.

I don't think there are many things I've had the opportunity to indulge in that I've turned down and I'm fairly confident I've tried more things than most people.

As far as food goes i've eaten some weird stuff and wouldn't turn anything down. I'd even like to try Fugu one day. Activities are different, I go with my gut instinct on it. I've no fear of anything other than dying a horrible painful death.

As for sexytime I think you can probably work out my attitude to it but suffice to say I've never used, sandpaper, electrodes, my cousin or attempted to asphyxiate myself. You should see my purity test score on facebook. It's very low.

So would I try everything once? No. I would however try most things if I've not already done them.

Sometimes here, sometimes not.

Oh wow that's actually one of the main rules in my life :) Luckily I only have one regret.

I love trying new and odd looking foods, (as long as they're cooked properly of course) it's amusing to look at everyone else's faces as they look at you feebly and in shock.

But i agree with Andy, to say 'everything' is a bit ludicrous, i definitely wouldn't try smoking or taking any nonsense drugs that are inevitably going to reduce the length of my life.

      Summer on Radio 1

      By Marcus17 · Posted

      Right so prediction time. I think “Summer on Radio 1” which is on the schedule for Friday to Sunday 1-4 from June sticks around longer than the other changes in July. I think that lasts until September which is when we get the new weekend afternoon show. I think they’ll want to give Danny longer on air to see if they improve. I can’t see that happening, so my guess is in September they move Sam & Danni to weekend afternoons (at that point they’ll have been on weekend breakfast for a full year), and they bring James Cusack in to do weekend breakfast.

      If Aled decides to give Danny a full time role, even as part of a duo / trio, it'll be the most disappointing decision of his tenure. The fact Danny is still on air and hasn't been quietly moved on 'due to a change in plan' is bad enough!

      Danny Beard on weekend afternoons

      By coffeeandgin · Posted

      I'd say Danny has been given a fair hearing - and hasn't been up to par. You don't want Radio 1 to be a closed shop - but not being able to usually get the Whatsapp number right should be a dealbreaker. Errors happen even to the best DJs at times but if you can't get the Whatsapp number right you really shouldn't have a regular role on the station. But if they really are that desperate to have Danny on the schedule full-time then pair him up with somebody who can actually handle the technical side. You think of all the capable DJs who are in duos and trios and then you have just have a rookie like Danny left solo.  The LGBTQ+ point too I have to say if true as a gay man feels a case of proper discrimination. It's good to have LGBTQ+ representation for sure but the key thing is that the DJ is good at the end of the day and say in 2021 there was loads of LGBTQ+ talent on Radio 1 in Scott, Grimmy and Adele Roberts among others but at the end of the day they were strong DJs entirely there on merit. And even now there's still LGBTQ+ talent on Radio 1 who are there primarily because they're bloody good broadcasters. Danny is not one of them.

      There is a reason you don't know who is doing weekend afternoons yet. The plan is still to see how Danny Beard's trial goes on weekend mornings. Newspaper clippings have demonstrated Aled has been keen to push Danny Beard at the weekend and to give him a fair hearing. The plan looks to be to wait and see whether he improves in the next few weeks. The bosses still want more LBGTQ+ representation on the station.

      I think they should just bring that back as was. It's been nearly 20 years, so do it with a whole bunch of new DJ's.

      I think this year has taught us we know nothing 🙂 Nobody would ever have credibly predicted Jordan leaving and all the changes that followed.   I have another interest outside radio and it is exactly the same - the stuff you never expect to happen is exactly what does.

      Summer on Radio 1

      By ianwilk1999 · Posted

      Yeah they make the weekend shifts go so much quicker. Like today, the piece about Matt falling asleep in the cafe was funny, it's clear to see why they're going to weekdays. It could well be they were thinking of Danny for it and like you say have decided against that, or like I said at the start it's James Cusack and the slow down on the announcement is him getting out of his contract. Remember he works for radio 1's main rivals. I think it's quite telling that he's doing more r1 cover than usual, tomorrow and then a further 3 weekend shows in a row

      I suspect they’re gonna tie the announcement into something, or they’ve changed plans. I know we’ve said it as a joke but I wonder if Aled was planning on giving it to someone like Danny Beard, but he’s decided against that after the last few weeks. Seems clear to me, though, that if Jordan hadn’t left, then Katie would’ve taken Dean and Vicky’s slot and Matt and Mollie would’ve stayed on weekends, which probably explains why they haven’t picked a replacement yet. If it was going to be the obvious choice, I.e. James Cusack, surely they would’ve announced it by now..?

      Yep think they mentioned that this is their penultimate weekend of shows but then they will also be on air during Big Weekend and they mentioned they'll be doing 'Party Anthems' on stage during Big Weekend which sounds intriguing. Will miss Matt & Mollie on weekends - they in particular have made that Friday afternoon slot their own - but they'll be great on weekdays. Do wonder if 'Summer on Radio 1' is just a placeholder name until they decide on who will cover the interim. While it's obviously not the case it does feel like they've forgotten there's that weekend afternoon slot to fill given no permenant presenter has been announced for it yet.

      And Arielle mentioned in her Instagram post that her final early breakfast show is the 27th of June - the Thursday before Glastonbury

      When Matt covered breakfast on 22nd April, he said their new show was starting in 10 weeks, so that’d be the 1st July.

      Would love for it to be like the Summer Friday Thing that me and @DC were remisincing about recently. Lots of events going on that could easily form part of it.  https://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/summer/cardiff/thursday/1.shtml
