The girl that was on talking about her boobs? Yeah, she's a member here. She read everything you lot said and went from elated to very, very sad in a matter of moments. Congratulations on making her feel like shit, that was really nice of you.

This place used to be nice - the people were lovely and there was a really friendly feel to it. Now it's just plain bitchy. No wonder half the regulars don't post as much - it's just not a nice place to be anymore.

In fact, it's like Moylesworld point two.

It happens to me too when I'm dancing. Always hitting my eye with my wanger.

I thought you were talking about your boobs :shock:

Anyway, I didn't think the comments were that bad? They didn't intend to insult anyone, did they?

Wahey! Groove Armada are the best!

Edit: Just read last pages.

I don't think anyone should be offended by the previous comments. The caller obviously thought she had an amusing enough story to get it on the radio. It is a strange thing to happen to be honest. Why do you think she got on the show?

UM is a place for friendly banter, and I'm sorry if it upsets anyone, but I have to deal with 'ageist' comments all the time - like water off a duck's back!

I'd agree with that. You go on Scott's show to be mocked a bit, and we all take the pee out of each other on here, we don't mean it. I can't see anything wrong with that, but we've all had our case and I think the case is closed.

Jo Whiley just mentioned she'd rather streak on stage with Madonna than repeat the tambourine incident. Just before Entertainment News at 12pm. Sounds like a clip Scott could use.

Is it just me or does the backing vocals for Hot Chip's Wiley cover sound just like Dom off of the news?

I HAVE to see Hot Chip now, they sound amazing. My new favourite band I think.

Now that Hot Chip have sung Wearing My Rolex I finally understand what the song is about. :)

As to what Kelly said, I'm sorry the girl was upset but I don't think any of us can really be blamed. She went on the show and told that story, we only typed out what thousands of people would have been thinking or maybe even discussing in their works canteen.

UM is a nice place

yes, sorry kelly and her friend that they were hurt by our comments but unfortunately there doesn't seem to be much wrong with it. they simply reflected scott's comments and you set yourself up to be joked about when going on his show. your views wouldn't be the same if we stopped doing what we're doing :)

Haha, I love how Jo Whiley makes subtle hints to my e-mails. "A few people are asking about my tambourine incident..." and "Scott Mills from 4pm who will probably be making use of my streaking comment".

Well I'm happy, Radio 1 have given me two standard tickets for Saturday's event and two press passes for the Sunday event.

That's brilliant news. I hope you realise that you are there as the UM Ambassador. You'd better not go about enjoying yourself, forgetting to take pics for us, getting drunk and embarrassing the whole site!;)

If I'd have shut my mouth I could have taken a few more of you as there was a little confusion about who was giving me tickets. Don't worry, Catherine will keep me on the straight and narrow.

You caught me tucking into my cornetto ;) Welcome along... How we doing?

I hope the Big Weekend involves topless lovelies throwing water over each other off of The Sun.

The only problem is the Big Weekend has meant unnecessary extra money spent on new clothes. Shorts and summer shoes aren't in my wardrobe at the moment... Coats and boots I can do.

Cornetto!? What flavour? If it's strawberry then I may have to ninja it away from you.

It was indeed. It's gone now, all that remains is the mess on my trousers, but I sense you won't be going there!

You eated it all and didn't share with meee?? So mean. *sobs*

Haha, you gave me a giggle. Thankies!!

Though, be careful what you jest; I'm in a stupidly silly mood these last few days due to the lovely sun and the fact I'm finally moving and gonna take control of my life (that others have tried to mess-up for me previously)!!

The sun makes me sooo happy and hyper though. I'm solar-powered, you see.

    • 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. 
    • 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.
