i don't really know if this rocks or sucks, i guess it isn't both yet.

but there's this girl who works behind a bar in a pub i go to quite often. i've been going there years, and she's been working there for about a year. but it's only recently i've started to really fancy her. i've started to talk to her more often, stuff like where she goes out, what time she's on till etc... although it may be small talk it just may be a way in.

problem is that i'm not sure if she's single. i know she had a boyfriend when she started there who used to be there every now and again, but i haven't seen him for ages. i have her on bacefook but it dosen't say if she's single or not! just my bloody luck if she's taken, and if she is i'll stay away. but i can't tell! and i'm sure she was glancing over at me last weekend when i was in there.

You found out anything else about this girl DC?

well yesterday i was walking down the street with my friend and he said that he saw her ex drive by with another girl in the passenger seat, i wasn't looking so i missed it. but as i mentioned before i haven't seen any clues of them together for quite a while, so it's very likely that she's single right now.

i spoke to her on sunday for about 10 minutes, just general chit chat stuff but she seems pretty responsive and wants to talk to me. no short answers as such, it was quiet in there at the time but custom came in so i left her to her job. i know i need to take it a step further if i want her, but i don't know if i should hang on a bit longer for her to become more interested or something. i have lost my touch over the last few years with this kind of thing to be honest, i just don't want to move too fast or slow.

Just wait till she hears you're pro Bin Laden - she'll be on your doorstep every day!! :hahaha:

Anyhow, I had a SMASHING weekend. Saw "insidious" at the cinema, which is the BEST horror movie in the World. I have never seen a better movie... and as to the ending, well totally didn't see it coming. 100/10. WOW.

Girl in row behind me had to be hilariously helped out the cinema by boyfriend propping her up!!

:hahaha:

I think you should just go for it DC, sometimes you have to take chances in life - even if things don't work out at least you'll know where she stands and whether or not she's interested in you in that way. Best of luck to you. :)

Absolutely.... every time I talk to someone they normally respond. *

* - the above is dry humour.

Haha! You should do stand up.

I really hope you go for it with this girl dc. It sounds promising. Have confidence in yourself. There are plenty of us on here who do, and that has been earned.

cheers. i'm not quite sure when i'll see her again, most probably sunday i presume, but she can work different hours sometimes i think. i'm hoping the place is quiet so we can get chance to talk more. as i said before, she made the effort to come over to me and have a drink with myself and my friend who was there last sunday after she finished.

we'll just see what happens i guess.

Throwing hammers at you counts as a response I guess...

I think I'd rather have that as comms with DC some days !! :hahaha:

I have a new Orange Rio, which is I LOVE already.. a big difference from my last phone - reception is so much clearer, I can read my hotmail, tweet, facebook, get the weather... I need to get some help with getting onto UM at some point in the future, when I have the time.

Just imagine... the all new "Viv at midnight".

    • It’s not necessarily the fact that Jamie is posh. It’s that the show seems to be really keen to play on it. Within 10 minutes of their first show they were playing voice notes from his Celeb mates. Compare that to Vick and Jordan’s first week in September 2021; their first links were about Jordan’s awkward encounter with his plumber and Vick slapping a roast chicken.    And then on Monday this week, Jamie is sulking (exaggerated sulking admittedly) about something, this ultimately being that another of his celeb mates has cancelled his appearance on their show, and they’re literally reading out texts such as ‘I’m sure this is going to be relatable to the entire population.’
    • That’s a last minute change!
    • Jordan, Greg, they’re down to earth. That’s what makes them resonate so much with listeners.  
    • It's a bizarre thing though....it would be nice to hear a few more tracks from the past 10 years mixed into daytime. However, at the other extreme, I find it odd how often really old tracks come up on Anthems and even the likes of Soundsystem Party and Dance Anthems.   The odd throwback is great but sometimes it feels too much.
    • I do like Cat Burns but it’s a good point about the many artists on future artists and other specialist shows. If they manage to launch the ‘Anthems’ like sister station hope they make changes to the stations playlist.
    • Some shows do play some songs from pre-2018 regularly. Mainly Matt & Mollie and Radio 1 Breakfast. Also don't forget the shortened Anne-Marie - Ciao Adios which gets played every 26 seconds. 😂
    • I hate reverse snobbery and I post this reluctantly as we shouldn't hold Jamie's background against him, but I do think many listeners will find it hard to identify with Jamie.  One of the things that made Jordan so popular was he sounded like the mate you go for a pint with who always has a great story to tell.
    • Absolutely - life would be dull if we all liked the same things  
    • Dean in for Greg on Tuesday.
    • While it maybe doesn't the power it once has (where being on the A-List was a big deal), It's a big part of the station and I felt probably deserves it's own thread. Have to be honest I haven't been hugely enamored with the playlist in recent times. Radio 1 seem quite heavily wedded to it in weekdays (at least Monday-Thursday) which can lead to the station being repetitive if you listen throughout the day. Even a station like Capital who are known for their limited playlist seem to throw in some older tracks and artists ever so often whereas if it's not Something Songs, 10 Minute Takeover or Anthems you often struggle to hear a song from before 2018. The repetitive nature has been a thing for a while though to be fair - I recall early 2021 in particular it felt like Tiesto's 'The Business' and Olivia Rodrigo's 'Drivers Licence' were played every other hour. Also certain Radio 1 favourites seem almost guaranteed a slot on the playlist even if they don't actually appear to be wildly popular with the target audience to justify it. I get it with your Dua Lipas, Calvin Harrises, Fred Agains  and Olivia Rodrigos as they're all very popular but less so if it's say Cat Burns, Aitch, Royal Blood or Mabel. Which is fine to an extent as Radio 1 has often focussed on promoting new music but then you have great music by other new artists that just never makes it to the playlist as a result.
    • Yep I really struggled with Matt & Jamie which was a shame as otherwise really like Matt. Unfortunately it comes across on-air whether it's actually try or not that Jamie doesn't know a lot about radio and doesn't seem particularly desperate to improve either or if I'm being generous he's playing an act - neither of which particularly appeals. The everyman act can sometimes work but you need to have that natural likability and appeal for it to do so in the way that way Chris Stark did. I mean even towards the end of his stint with Matt Jamie was struggling with getting the Whatsapp number right which is a basic.
    • Have to say even if there is a good reason for Jamie to be off on Thursdays the optics of them a month in still not be able to do a 'normal week' of the scheduled team for a brand new show isn't great. And if Jamie was meant to be away on Thursdays clearly nobody let whoever runs BBC Sounds know. Who would've guessed from the Vick & Jordan days though that it would be Vick who's the everpresent so far (just kidding Vick - really rate her as a DJ and I know she has a lot of other engagements outside of Radio 1).
    • Sorry explain what you mean there please? Danny is unlistenable?? 
    • I dunno if it is me but even Vick and Katie don't sound as good in that slot alone as they did before. Maybe I have just fallen out of love with it all.
