Where? When? I was looking for tickets earlier today but they are only showing English dates on ticket master:cry:

100% recommend it. Every track is brilliant, I love them! Went to see them in April and they were fab.

At Leeds Festival, I can't remember which day they're on though, but I can't wait!

Edit: They're on on the Saturday! I've just checked.

I know someone who makes up multiple other halves. Last October, the other-half-maker-upper said that she was bringing her "boyfriend" to an 18th party we were all going to, but after a while she said he wasn't coming, but he'd come to the next one...but he didn't come to that one either! No-one ever saw him, and the photo on her phone looked like she'd taken a picture of a random dude out of a magazine...up until now, she's made up about five different ones...all of whom we have never met..

Why do you think people feel the need to make up other halves? Is it insecurity, fear of being a failure if they're single, being a total nutter?

Have to admit I did once.....I was about 8 years old though and I only kept it going for about 2 days. hee hee.

Oh I had at least 3 when I was 8. Only problem is none of them knew about it.:D

Hahaha!! Awesome question.

I guess it depends on the person.

I know someone who says she's married on her Facebook profile just so she doesn't get hassled by guys there.

I don't see how people showing these fake pictures get away with it.

Oh dear, I can talk...once when I was about 4, I had a diary given to me as a present, and I filled all the days up in it, pretending to be busy with days out with my imaginary boyfriend...I've just remembered!

I did something very similar when I was about 7. I got a 'Wuzzles' address book and I used to write the names and numbers of my pretend friends from America......I remember calling them Chad, Buddy etc!

Btw Emma, you must have been a very intelligent child writing a diary at the age of 4, hahaha. I'm thinking this was last year;)

I remember The Wuzzles!! :D

What happened to stories on tape! CD or download? Pfft.

I still remember my awesome Teddy Ruxpin bear. He used to take cassettes and he'd tell the stories and sing along, etc.

    • I must have missed that yesterday, sorry! Scott did make the same tongue in cheek comment on today's show about Rylan. It's a shame Rylan isn't the go to cover for Scott, I assume his commitments away from R2 prevent that. I enjoyed his last cover stint. Spoony is the go to stand in for the mid afternoon slot (he's covering again week after next while Scott's off getting married).   In that case, I think you're right! 
    • Not that last minute. Scott was talking about it on his own show yesterday, saying he and Rylan have a deal where they cover each other's shows but Rylan only covers Scott when he can be bothered!
    • Sorry I should have been clearer, I meant daytime weekday. Weekend shows would count as a 'step up' from overnights for OJ.
    • If we're counting the overnight slot, OJ Borg regularly covers weekend shows.
    • The only weekday R2 DJ who would ever cover a weekend slot?!
    • What I assume is a very last minute change... Scott Mills is in for Rylan today.
    • 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.
