Going to a workshop at the Royal Institute for ​British Architecture next week and just found out it just a few doors away from Radio 1. We're allowed to do what we want once the workshop is over so Im hoping I'll be allowed to potter off down there and see if I can meet Mr Mills and the team! Would die if I got to meet Chris Stark.

And I won't sit down,

And I won't shut up,

But most of all I will not grow up <3

I have now officially been to Radio 1! Was a rather splendid moment in my life. Didnt meet anyone as it was packed full of Jessie J fans and Paps waiting for her. http://instagram.com/p/QFs5wqK5vJ/ did get a photo of the #teamgrimmy sign though and afterwards we found a Nando's just down the road so went for some delicious lunch! Going again in October though so hopefully I'll meet some of the DJ's (hopefully Scott, Beccy and Chris) then :)

And I won't shut up,

Red dwarf is back tonight, AND, I took a small victory over a cold call from a personal injury solicitor type company.

Now normally I wouldn't condone giving someone abuse when going about their job, as I have have been on the receiving end of it when just trying to do my job so I know its not nice. HOWEVER, when it comes to injury solicitors or PPI claimback companies my opinion goes completely out the window. Long story short I told someone this evening that if they didn't want me to "tear through" them they should hang up the phone immediately, and when told they would remove my records from their database I was in the middle of telling him that I suggested he did he hung up. I'm taking that as a win for me!

Not impressed with censorship

    • 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.
    • Agree with most of this above. Listening to only vick and katie today, I was thinking that it doesn't need Jamie. Its very jarring how sometimes he's there and sometimes he isn't. I don't think it needs to be a trio. Surely there are bigger problems at the moment, Danny on a pretty big slot on the station is literally unlistenable.
    • Yes, the length of the time on the station does help as with Annie Mac she did what dance specialist DJs kind of get a bit more favourability with the evening listeners who start out on something specialist. With Annie Mac she did years on dance before going to the flagship new music specialist programme with giving opportunities to new DJs and curating the playlist and having something different from Clara’s more music daytime show where she had to work with the playlist. Had she done more time doing a specialist show later on in the schedule it may have oddly made the moment bigger. Think sometimes what has helped create such a unique sound in presenters and personalities like Annie Mac, Jack and Grimmy for example starting out doing a late show with looser format. Think for the next Jack, Annie and Clara’s of the station do need to have a late live slot and do hope when radio 1 relax is shut down that maybe they change the power down playlist for something with bit more freedom.
    • She is a good broadcaster no doubts but am of the same page with feelings mutual.
    • Clara was always a decent, competent and even good music radio presenter. But equally, she never provoked really strong emotions in me that I must listen or must switch off.
    • Jamie is definitely very divisive though.  Some people's "radio comedy gold" is other people's "unlistenable".  I have liked Matt and Mollie, Matt on his own, Mollie and Jordan etc etc.  But couldn't listen to Matt with Jamie. No hate on Jamie but I just don't like his sense of humour.
    • The dynamics of this are interesting.  Jordan works best with people he knows and he already knows Chris and Sian so from day one it should sound fairly natural.  
    • Have an amazing birthday Scott!  Looking forward to Tuesday! 
    • This has to be a joke right. This is so Scott Mills 🤣
    • Greg's shoe live and Jordan on catchup so can skip ads
