I have a strong fear of mould (I've never heard that word before, but it's in the dictionary...). Like, if there is one bad apple I can't eat anything that's been near it. And if I open a box and the food in it is old I freak out. Really bad.

Also I'm afraid of heights and (this is where it might get a bit weird) stairs. If they're longer than let's say 10 steps, and "open" I don't like it at all.

And I think there's one more thing... let me have a think...

Oh, just remembered. I'm scared of elevators. That fear is stronger than my fear of stairs. I'd rather walk 50 stair steps than use an elevator. The one in the local Danish library is okay, but that's the only one I like.

It's not just because I'm slightly claustrophobic, I don't know why I don't like them...

i vomitted grated cheese and can't eat it ever since that :(

There is this bread that I used to love, but then it happened twice that there was mould on it when I had it in my lunchpack and now I can't eat it at all.

I'm afraid of mould too. Can't touch anything that's been near anything slightly mouldy. *shudders*

There's these Arabic foods which every single Arab apart from me loves. One of them is this rice and chicken dish, but the sauce the chicken is cooked in has pomegranates in it, and I don't mind pomegranates, but I actually have to leave the house if someone's making it. And there's another one which uses apricots. I hate apricots anyway, but I can't be anywhere near it. Absolutely horrified of it.

I can't eat Babybel. My friend gave it to me to try and as I was about to open it he said he'd got too hot and mouldy. IT STUNK! I will never touch it again.

My cat is very very scared of our vacuum cleaner. It's really fun, because if it's standing around somewhere in the house he runs as fast as he can if he has to go past it. And we like to tease him with it, too. Haha.

That's really mean!

But my friend's dog is afraid of the ironing board because it fell on him when he was a puppy. He actually quivers around it.

I know, but he's just such a wimp. He's scared of so many things.

Exactly the same with our dog, except he's terrified of our ironing board! It's hilarious, he always hides under the sofa and although you can see half of his bum, he still thinks no one can see him ;) He's scared of sooo many things - at the park he only "hangs out" with the very little dogs and he's evern scared of them most of the time!

Needless to say, he's a labrador.

Just remembered one more thing I'm scared of, which is probably the weirdest of my fears.

See, I love to sail. I love when we go to England/Scotland or Norway/Sweden, because it means we get to sail, which is great. I want to go on a cruise someday, actually.

But when I'm looking around on Google Earth, I'm really scared of the water. If I want to look at something in the US I switch to Firefox while it's over the water.

Also I'm not too keen on documentaries about fish and other animals in the water. I'm simply scared of deep water. Don't know if it's because I can't swim, I don't think so.

It's a shame I can't watch the video because I'm outside the UK. Oh well...

Oh boo. You're not missing out on much. Mine won't load! So much for 'minimal buffering'.

I watched the German show "Schlaag den Raab" the other day. Seriously, I think "Beat the Star" is a lot more entertaining. How long is one show? Because they spend like 2 or 2½ hour on each "Schlaag den Raab", commercials every 20 mins or so. I hate that.

    • I agree Scott has always been a good standalone presenter, but always better when with someone. When chappers left the radio one show it felt a different show and Chris joining was what it needed and brought new life. for the format of the radio 2 show Scott’s show fits well with the station but again, there’s the huge gap between radio1 and 2 As been said already old radio2 listeners feel it now feels too young with latest changes, yet old radio1 listeners still feel radio 2 feels too old. The inbetween stage demographic of too old for radio 1 but too young for radio 2 is still not catered for radio 2 was left to grow old with its audience for too long and to change things up now feels to try and change a brand image the right thing to do is leave it as it is and cater for that 1.5 demographic which I’m sure the new proposed 00s and 10s station will do if approved. Problem is it’s so overdue that by the time it gets off the ground these listeners are already likely to be lost and the changing image of radio2 likely to lose what it stands for as a brand with the “it’s too young now “  moving to boom and the “ it still sounds old “ crowd not able to move with their favourite presenters like Scott so finding themself on capital a radio 1.5 would have been perfect for Scott and Chris, seems unlikely but this is why I think who branding of bbc radio needs a rethink if these new stations get off ground
    • Bank Holiday Monday Schedule 6am-10am: Arielle Free in for Greg 10am-2pm: Dean & Vicky (No Rickie, Melvin & Charlie) 2pm-6pm: Vick & Jamie (No Katie) 6pm onwards: As normal.
    • Dare I say they've sounded great this past week?  Very much gelling.  Maybe less pressure?  Seem to be having a genuinely good time and not forcing things.
    • I'm in the minority in my workplace, most of them love country music.  Me, the American, does not care for it.  That said, I haven't haaaaaated some of the country adjacent stuff that's been on the R1 playlist.  
    • The Eurovision semi finals are on from 8 to 10pm on Tuesday 7th and Thursday 9th May with Richie Anderson. That means Sara Cox in on till 8 on those days.  Saturday 11th May is Eurovision 'Super Saturday... 1-3pm Your Ultimate Abba song with Gary Davies  3-6pm Michelle Visage's Eurovision All Stars 6-8pm Eurovision Request Party with Owain Wynn Evans 8pm Eurovision Grand Final with Scott Mills and Rylan Clark  
    • It is funny because everyone thought Matt was on the way out, now he's been described as the heir to Mills.
    • Some similar names to Big Weekend.  Sabrina Carpenter, David Guetta, Perrie, Bradley Simpson, Jax Jones, Caity Baser, Benson Boone, Rudimental. David Guetta is a good name. 
    • Still Scott for me. I'm not too much into the 70s and 80s radio 2 play but do love the injection of 90s and 00s. Then Radio 2 push for all this country stuff and it not a UK thing, and I frankly don't like it. Scott's show as in features, hit and miss. I like the music police bit, but it feels like someone needs to join him. It's a shame Chappers is so busy with sports, as it feels like it could do with someone like him jumping on to help. Or a new partner. Radio 1, take or leave. Matt and Mollie are OK from what I've heard and share a good connection, but it's the playlist that throws me off. They could bring back Chris Moyles to do that show, but as soon as something like Headie One comes on with that casino keyboard produced crap. It would still be switched off from me. 
    • Reading through this thread, I don't feel quite so alone now, in thinking that Scott Mills on R2 is not a good 'fit' (even less so than on R5).  I can't quite explain why this is so - I just know it to be so.
    • Arielle has been on holiday for the last 2 weeks getting married / honeymoon.  It'll be live from this week onwards.
    • CassKidd is in for Sian on Sunday 5th May.
    • The brought to tiers feature was also very good from them. I did wonder which DJ's were going to get picked out of the hat, that could have gone one way or the other and the caller said they were very opinionated lol. Correct decision putting katie in god tier!
    • The extended Dua Lipa track from M&M was very funny. I'm hoping Matt and Mollie and Scott have a good relationship a bit like Greg and Zoe collaborate on-air sometimes.
    • Gary Davies in for Vernon Kay tomorrow (Monday 29th April).
