What's your definition of the word "cool"? Is it someone like 50 Cent? Zane Lowe? Bruce Willis?

My personal definition of "cool" has to be Keith Murray (W.A.S.). I mean, have you seeeeeeen him :D I absolutely adore boys like him. No a*se, cool hair, indie clothes, random sense of humour, intelligence. Simply - cool ;)

To me, The Kills seem to epitomise "cool". They exude "cool"ness through their music, how they dress, how they walk, talk. It's not a kind of cool that I'd like to be, it seems like they're trying too hard.

Me personally, the kind of "cool" I like is people like Wheatus, and I suppose also Keith Murray of WAS, who aren't the typical "cool" kind of people but seem like fun people. Paul Smith of Maximo Park is very cool in my opinion, he's not afraid to be different and he's got loads of energy when he's on stage.

Most things on Radio 1 I'd consider cool. I think anything Mills or Moyles mentions is rather cool, and in terms of music I'd say anything Zane plays is something acceptable as someone that likes indie.

As uncool as it is to say it but the coolest people I know are my parents. My dad seriously lives his own life the way he wants to. Does whatever he likes on the spur of the moment and get's through life using his own natural talents.

My mum is cool in a very understated way. Normally she presents a very typical mum face to the world but she's lived an amazing life. As a child of the sixties she's done things that would make even my head spin (she snogged Led Zeppelin (The whole band) when they played a tiny venue in Portsmouth before they were famous) She's just got back from partying in Vegas and whenever I see her she's always bought me some really cool clothes that are the dog's knees. She knows exactly what I like clothes wise which is extroverted and unconventional (Just like everybody else) and she throws the most amazing parties as well.

I'm not cool but mummy and daddy are!

Sometimes here, sometimes not.

Cool: fashionable and attractive at the time; often skilled or socially adept; "he's a cool dude"; "that's cool"; "Mary's dress is really cool"; "it's not cool to arrive at a party too early"

There you go. :P

That is a questionable definition though at best.

Mills is cool, Moyles ain't, You need to look half decent to be cool. Zane Lowe is too cool for me.

But Moyles is the one that everyone is talking about. You don't go to work and hear people saying "did you hear what Zane played last night". Chances are you will with Moyles. To me that's cool.

In my opinion the coolest person on earth is Ilco van der Linde. (I spam forums about him hehe) He's a Dutch activist who organizes massive youth events for charitable causes, is behind the Liberation Day music festivals in the Netherlands, and is the founder of Dance 4 Life, a worldwide HIV awareness youth movement. That guy is amazing. http://www.dance4life.com/en_4life/en_4life_initiators

Cool people are out there making an impact on the world. Thats what I think is cool.

    • There was talk on my Big Weekend group from the council about them waiting for Ticketmaster to send an email out. They said they've been waiting a week. Maybe they're waiting for train strike confirmation first. 
    • It’s on Saturday and Friday that week too. I guess this would make sense, as it gives them roughly 6 weeks off weekends until they start the new show?
    • Yeah he's on more than usual including this Sunday and then 3 more shows in May according to the above. Makes me think it's James for the weekend shows also
    • For some reason there is 'Summer on Radio 1' listed on Sunday 2nd June, could this be replacing M&M until July?
    • They seem to be using James more for cover now makes me think it will be him getting weekends eitjer breakfast or 1 till 4 
    • Yep am very much Capital Breakfast now. Jordan, Chris and Sian are a great trio and it's got that feel of the old shows Jordan and Chris used to do on Radio 1. It doesn't take itself too seriously but is packed full of content and slick. With Greg he's great but 6 years in you've probably heard it all before plus frankly I can sit through the Capital Playlist a lot more easily than the Radio 1 playlist (where some of the inclusions and omissions can be quite baffling at times). Plus after things like the Oscars or Met Gala or if there's a particularly big TV show or film or popstar then Greg won't half wang on about it at times. I guess it's partly to be expected with it being a Breakfast show on a young station but it can feel very London bubble and get tired.
    • Ore Olukoga is in for Arielle on Tuesday 14th May. James Cusack is in for Danny Beard on Saturday 1st June. James Cusack is in for Nat on Sunday 2nd June.
    • I honestly never thought in a million years I’d move from Radio 1 to be a regular Capital breakfast show listener. But it’s got pretty much everything I want - 3 really genuine, entertaining mates having a laugh, playing silly games and it all sounds great. I became a big fan of Chris from his days with Scott, became a Jordan fan on Going Home, and Sian Welby is newer to me but is loads of fun too.  It’s great and I’ve shocked myself by transferring my listening at breakfast. For me Greg’s show now feels very tired and it’s time for something new. But with Jordan gone that’s unlikely to happen anytime soon. Greg’s had a great run and I’m a fan - but there’s no new ideas now. I still listen to Radio 1 at other times - but this show feels like very serious competition for Greg. 
    • They have built four new studios to increase capacity, alongside the existing six.  Bearing in mind that some of the output of R1, 1X, R2 & 6M comes from elsewhere, and Asian Network is gradually moving all output to Birmingham, this should be enough!
    • How do they manage to cater for 6Music and Radio 2 on that floor? Did they adapt it? 
    • I think we've all figured out now how much you like it @AndyK77 😂 Personally while I think it's by far the best show on the Capital schedule and better than its predecessor, it still has the shortened songs and other commercial-radio aspects that remind me why I'm a Radio 1 fan. No matter how well this has worked out for Jordan, and all credit to him for landing the job, I can't help but feel that a Jordan and Katie show on R1 breakfast would have been so much better!
    • A few weeks in and I am actually loving the show and Jordan is a nice mix of his old chaotic self and dare I say it a slick jock.
    • He must be in his element. At Eurovision and a Gold award!
    • I really like Rylan, and as much of a fun idea it would be to have Scott and Rylan together, I think Rylan is too much of a main character.  Scott needs a side-kick rather than a full on co-host I think. That’s why he and Chris worked so well, Scott steered the show, and Chris was the perfect person to have alongside him.    I don’t religiously listen to Rylan’s show, but when I do catch it, it’s perfect weekend energy. He has a very warm presenting style too, but something makes me think he and Scott together every day would be a bit too much.     
    • So pleased for Scott on his best entertainment show win. As much as I miss his R1 style, he clearly puts so much into his shows, well deserved and it’s a big two fingers up to all the abuse he has had since joining R2
