My parents finally allowed me to have a computer in my room! And they even gave me their old one, because they don't use it anymore. The only problem is, that it is very slow and I can't use proxies, but everything else is okay. Woooo!!

:D Timsk and I are off to Menton, south of France for a week this Sunday. Will be meeting up with my Pop and bro. and friends. Taking bikini in the hope that it's warm enough to swim. Love swimming in the sea. Fingers crossed.

Zut alors! Gonna watch my silly brother gamble in Monte Carlo too. Hehe.

PS. Sorry to hear about au pairing Sigrid.

Sooo... Today I had the day off (except cleaning and packing my things in the morning) so I thought I might as well go into London and see if I could meet Scott Mills. After all, this might be my only chance ever to do so.

So I went to the Radio1 building and was there at about 4.50. And just outside on his bike, talking to someone else, was Greg James. I didn't plan to meet him, but I did have his card in my bag (I went to the studios on the bank holiday but obviously I didn''t meet anyone so I just got all the cards instead) because I thought there was a slight possibility that I might meet him too - after all he's on just before Scott. So I had my picture taken with him and he signed my card. He was very nice, but so so tall (and I'm quite little, so I thought it was kind of funny).

Anyway, I asked the security guys if Scott was on (I knew he was, but I just asked anyway) and they said yes, but he comes out every once in a while and he'd probably come out in 5 minutes, so I could just wait for him outside.

I went outside and waited, and waited, and waited... And after an hour he finally came out, and I went up to him. He actually remembered me from UM when I said my name, and I told him I'd been too busy lately, so he told me to "get back on there".

Anyway, I had my picture taken and he signed the card (I told him my name with the English pronounciation and he knew/remembered how to spell it).

Then I told him that while I'm here I don't get to listen to Radio 1 at all, because the girls I look after listen to some other station, and he was quite "outraged" by that - he said "What are they doing?!".

So all in all, he was very nice too - and very orange ;)

Such a great way to end my time in London. I have now seen and done everything I wanted. Except Madame Tussaud's, I still need to go there...

That's a lovely story, Danish Girl.

Don't worry about the au-pairing. Looking after someone else's kids is blooming tough (have done it myself).... and never again either!!

Good luck!! Any pictures though, please? :-)

I LOVE the security guys! They're so nice and absolutely friendly. :)

Lovely story, any pictures?

They really are. I first went to the buildings on the bank holiday Monday (silly me, forgot that Scott wouldn't be on) but then I had a nice chat with one of the security guys, he told me a lot about the different DJs and said that I should just take one of each of the cards. Just all of them :)

How do I insert pictures, should I make a blog?

    • 29th April has updated to show Dan back as presenter but still Nels in for Alyx on Introducing Rock.
    • Where do we think Radio 2 in the Park will be this year? Personally I'm thinking Swindon after Scott's clue of it having many roundabouts and since Big Weekend is at Luton I can't imagine they'd go to Milton Keynes.
    • Now in it's third week, the new Capital Breakfast Show seems to be settling down well and there are more of the informal, random Jordan topics appearing.  Though it is clear he wants to be seen slightly differently. It really is a very decent listen.
    • Just Vick and Katie on Wednesday (and presumably Thursday as well).
    • Unless people can provide a source for this information then it should be treated as false.   Why would Jordan sign a contract with the BBC in the autumn when he agreed a deal with Global?  He could have left in August and not had to deal with the BBC.  Vick who doesn't really like Global why would she recommend him to go there and then warn him in her post to be careful?   It's been whispered from October that Roman was thinking of going.  Roman and Jordan have the same management team.  Why would they put Jordan in a place where he would have to battle with the BBC.  They could have agreed a deal with Global for Jordan in the summer.  They might have had to pay first couple months but they would do they to secure him.  If they had known about Roman wanting to leave they could have paid Roman off to get Jordan on air quicker.  Global would also not had legal around BBC contract to deal with and would not have had to pay the BBC to release Jordan.  None of what people say makes sense and if it did happen the way people say then BBC are not the stupid ones.  It really is not a good look to be talking with Global for 6 months, to then sign a contract with a the BBC, continue to talk to Global behind BBC's back after signing and then couple of months later want to leave and to throw a hissy fit as the BBC are not giving you what you want when you want it. That not a good light for Jordan or his management.   
    • Wow, surprised he signed a new contract in September but it says a lot about Jordan that he continued to a very high standard throughout last summer/autumn if this was all going on in the background. 
    • They knew Roman wanted to leave early last year but wasn't officially announced but he gave them time to sort replacement. Found and offered Jordan a deal in June or July and needed time to get Jordan out of Contract at bbc and roman to do notice  Jordan had dinner with Katie Vick and Arielle to ask advice and all said he should go.   
    • And they told Radio 4’s Feedback that it was an ‘experiment’ to ‘look at the best way to serve young listeners’ but reaffirmed that 280 hours commitment.
    • I doubt he wanted to go to Global if a slot before he found out kemp was leaving.
    • We're hoping to get some answers in the coming weeks
    • From what he's saying on the Pod he's been trying to get out of r1 for a while. Looks like he needed to wait for a show on global to be available. Jordan had bbq last summer with most of thr global execs and he's referenced the deal was in place then. Obviously the hold up was r1 being stubborn
    • All seems to be back to normal this morning.
    • Indeed and Jordan was already friends with Sian Welby, Will Manning and Jimmy Hill.  
    • It's great to see those friendships still thriving. I think the days of Radio 1 DJs and Capital DJs being unable to co-exist is long over. You used to either be firmly BBC or commercial, and you don't get the sense that's the case anymore. 
    • Maia Beth will be presenting the Radio 1 Happy shows from the 27th April replacing Katie.  https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001ydkr
