Paula is the Judith Chalmers of Unofficial Mills. Never known so many holidays in a year.

I think I'm going to Greece in June but I might go to Bali instead... The flight is more expensive so I haven't decided yet. And my mum might be taking us abroad in the summer but you never know with her! And if my dad can sort it out I'll be doing work experience in Switzerland. I don't normally go abroad that often, usually about twice a year :P

It was all foggy and overcast this morning and all miserable. I was quite disappointed as I wanted to enjoy the sunshine now the dissertation is finally out of the way. I went to Makro with my friend (and pretended to be another friend who has a Makro card but didn't have time to come) and when we got outside, it was all sunny. I'm going to go for a walk in the sunshine, probably just to the shop, but it means it hopefully won't be too cold tonight when we're out.

It was also very very cold in the morning. We haven't had much sun recently - the only fully sunny day was two days ago. How disappointing :( Today the sun was out for about an hour and now it's gone so it probably will be cold when you're out :P I hope Plymouth will be a bit better as I intend to go cycling every day.

Not so inept with my telephone skills like I thought! Managed to get my dad cheaper home insurance by about £30 and threatened to leave AOL (wasn't really going to!) and have got the same unlimited downloads package we paid £24.99 a month for just £14.99 a month. Credit crunch savings :D

did that with sky too, blagged them that virgin was offering less and they lowered the price. you feel guilty for doing it in a way, but it's better for them to have you paying a little less than to lose you completley to a rival.

It's the oldest trick in the book and it always works.

Sunshiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine :D

I've just been out and bought some grapes to treat myself as I need to celebrate being free of the big D somehow. We've got the windows and the back door open and it's lovely being able to look at flowers and grass and trees and birds rather than concrete and roads and cars.

I'm going out tonight with a couple of friends. Don't plan on drinking, just enjoying the music. Then on Monday I'm going home and we're going to go to the zoo next week. Good times.

The head of the English department at uni is going to write a reference for me. I'm on my way to being an actual English teacher! So excited. Scared, but excited!

are you going to be the type that goes insane at kids when they do wrong? you'd fit in at my old school, full of misbehaving kids that don't want to be there.

    • 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.
