Yup, looks like it all went down for a couple of minutes.

It seems to choose the wrong moments to be going down at the moment!

No you cannot be driving with no shirt on until the beginning of June. If it was me I'd rather none of them did, as it's always the fat ones with moobs.

Hey there!

I'm cooking dinner so I'll leave again in a minute - but expect me back after 6 .

Just wanted to let you know that I haven't forgotten you ;)

Good good... I didn't feel like shouting at my mum for switching off the router, which she always tends to do for some insane reason.

My router turns itself off :rolleyes:

People shouldn't be allowed to drive around without shirts any time of the year, bleurgh.

The chuggers stand outside the exit doors of Morrisons. You can't really avoid them. They wanted me to sponsor a dog, but I'm like "well I don't want to sign up to pay money every week to a dog!". I'd have been happy to give £5 as a one-off, but not weekly!

I love living in Birmingham for this exact reason. We're all expected to be thugs, so it's perfectly acceptable to walk right past them ignoring them.

After all, you don't really know if they're just beggers or actual charity people.

Buy stuff from a charity shop if you feel you have to be giving. :D

I'd say most people give a fiver or less a month to charity...

Just goes to show how lovely and generous (and gullible) Scott is, doesn't it really?

Imagine what his poor mum is like. She gives credit card numbers out to people on ebay!

That's true. Birmingham people are great. They don't say anything to you in shops so you're in and out in seconds.

I have gotten very good at dodging the charity people. i rarely get stopped anymore.

They aren't interested in my Spanish bank cards. Lucky me. Not that I don't approve of charidee, but they can be a little 'hard sell'!

Except in La Senza the people on the till are always talking to each other. Takes forever. However, elsewhere it's get in, get out. Done.

When were you in Birmingham then, eh?

Just give to established charities - those people outside supermarkets often have "admin costs" that swallow 98% of the donations. In other words you are giving £20 directly to the person. What makes me mad about that sort of scam is it's moral blackmail targeting the nicest, kindest people.

UM is a nice place

    • https://youtu.be/A_Cycjg5_9A?si=NiLTFeiTNWBExFoR   As barmy as Sam Ryder has now gone, as shown in this video. I'd still rather it than that bland Olly Alexander record. 
    • I like Scott, and I listen to Rylan's show every week... they do sound great together on Eurovision etc but.. as for a daily show together, I don't think it would work. Rylan would probably have to reign it in a bit which would lose his appeal, otherwise it may become too chaotic, in my opinion. That Saturday slot is perfect for Rylan, his rapport with Sally Traffic and Lottie is great. I suppose it comes down to cost as well and if he would want a daily show?   Radio 2 are clearly happy with Scott's show, and considering he's just won Best Entertainment Show at the ARIA's, I can't see them changing much.  
    • A win for Scott which is fantastic after the last few years he's been through! 
    • Am I outnumbered for not wanting to work in radio? It feels like there's a lot of geeks that want a job in the industry here.
    • Thought Sam and Danni were robbed of an award.  
    • OJ Borg is in for Trevor Nelson on the Rhythm Nation tonight (with Phill Williams on overnight). He's also in for Michael Ball for the next two Sundays (12th and 19th May). Ros Atkins (BBC's Analysis editior) is in for Jeremy Vine on Thursday. Another new name to Radio 2 is Oliver Hides from BBC Radio Wales. He sat in for Owain Wynn Evans yesterday and he's in again this Thursday (9th May) and Bank Holiday Monday (27th) Spoony in for Scott Mills from Tuesday 28th till Friday 31st May.  
    • Thought they would make it easier to get to this event. There's been no communication from the council or organisers about travel, even though there's talk of train strikes. Smaller councils have done a better job. 
    • They do sound good together, but I'm not sure Rylan will want the extra commitments. 
    • I have accepted Chris is unlikely to join Scott's show, and that Chappers has moved on, but I still think he could do with a co-host. The most logical solution, I think, is Rylan. He appears more often on his show than not, and they are great together. Radio 2 could lose Rylan's Saturday show and extend his reach by appearing during the week. I think they'd be great!
    • Tattoo took a while to grow on me. I couldn't see the fuss until weeks after. We have a split household here where the war on Gaza is overshadowing an enjoyment. I'm hoping for a protest of some sort. 
    • I've heard that the staging is very impressive.  That and him being "known" might prevent an embarrassing result.  I'm a terrible judge of Eurovision though as Tattoo is still so very meh to me.
    • Feels like after the success of Sam Ryder we are going back to our old ways. Olly Alexander's song is pretty weak. Anyone fancy our chances this year? 
    • The more time goes on the more you think if they'd actually put some thought into it it should've been Vick & Katie from the start. A proven pairing and Katie ended up on the show anyway - whereas Katie's even mentioned she was only asked to join after the Jamie announcement And even by Going Home standards on time off, it's quite funny that a few months in we still haven't had a full week of the supposed line-up - and that's with a 4-day week.
