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.

    • 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.
    • Rajar looking healthy this quarter, with the numbers staying fairly stable. 
    • It's made it into the Daily Mail as another reason to bash the station. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13417631/bbc-radio-2-facebook-tiktok-instagram.html  
    • I expect that the axing of Chill Out Anthems may be related to the decommissioning and shutfdown of Radio 1 Relax. I assume soon BBC could announce or make official when it’s going to be shutdown
    • The next RAJAR will be putting a lot of pressure on Aled. Will his decisions over Danny Beard and Jamie Laing and to lose Jordan North pay off? If not, it is likely bosses will be looking for his successor.  I am interested to know what fans of the station think?  Ian Chaloner who worked for Greg, Scott and Grimny before rising through the ranks must stand a chance. He is now mainstream editor.  An outsider choice but Greg's former producer Chris Sawyer would be great. He has the creativity and has held the ship well on breakfast. Although I know he is no longer with them.
