Won wristbands to meet Tyler James off of The Voice! Met him on Saturday! He was very nice but it was a bit awkward for a while when I had to ask someone to go get a pen from another room.. Lols

Oh, and he was performing (miming :P) at Silverburn with Des & Jennie from Capital Scotland's breakfast show!

Seems my story will be going into the press next Wednesday *fingers crossed* anyway. :-0 That said, by next Wednesday, I won't exactly be little Miss Popularity !! I am rather tired today, but exposing local scandals can be draining....

The scandal is to do with my landlord who has had tenants that keep setting the properties ablaze - if it ever happens during the night, the building will be sky high. They are now saying they are taking the situation "very seriously" (d'uh). However, they have said all this before .... And so, I went to my MP then to the press. With the spotlight right above their heads, it had BETTER be taken seriously now.

Update: photographer has been organised to go with story which it seems WILL be published next Wednesday - I think I will be the talk of the town.

My neighbours, btw, appear to be completely incoherent. The last time I went along to my local police station, fell over on some rocks, and almost wound up in the sea..... when I went to the pool afterwards, some neighbours were floating about on boards, completely oblivious to everybody and everything.

If this doesn't work, it's down the C.A.B., then down the legal route/NATIONAL press. In the words of the "Carpenters" (band from the 70s)... "we've only just begun...........!! "

This will probably look like I'm starting an argument, but I actually can't be bothered with one so thats not my aim. However, what exactly does this have to do with you?

Are we talking about a building where the same landlord owns more than one property within it or something? I am very tired as I write this, I'm just not really managing to get my head around someone going to the press on their own landlord thats all.

It is really is perfectly simple. Yep, the landlord has control over more than one property. Basically, they are being negligent towards other tenants, and putting us into unnecessary danger / anxiety. There are up to six young children in the building. If we don't do anything, we and they will be killed if there is a gas explosion because of a fire.

I have already had to copy a file I have on this in my hotmail to my friend in London who is gonna go to the police if there is some major incident !!

Hopefully we will be able to finally move house in 2013 before something THIS drastic happens. We need to make moving a COMPLETE mission from now on....

The current situation: My MP informs me the landlord is denying any complaints by residents. However, once this news goes into every paper on every shelf in East Ayrshire, North Ayrshire, West Ayrshire and South Ayrshire, they won't be able to deny complaints any longer.

I know putting your own landlord into the press is slightly drastic, but they really backed us into a corner - they need to get their act together and review their allocation policies. If I (we) can stop some major incident, I think we should do it. I've finally managed to get the backing of another (male) neighbour now. 'Bout time !!

And.... who knows?! Maybe just one of these days I may just be able to log on here feeling just a little less stressed?! Or not feeling like I am about to lose my actual life? Who knows, eh. Gotta just keep on going !! HA!!

Trust me... You are NOT the only one saying that.... but it's a choice.... do nothing.... tenants get killed (or seriously injured, and lose their homes). Do something.... you gotta a chance of the entire system of allocation policies being reviewed.

I ain't gonna be popular though, by any means.

Ordered a jacket online on Friday night, and there was a postman at my door first thing today handing me it. This was a rather pleasing development in a morning that was fast heading down a very frustrating path arguing with people over facebook regarding a TV license.

    • Less so with 5 Live. But with Nihal, Nicky Campbell and Mark Chapman get what you are saying.6 Music does have that with Huw Stephens, Mary Anne Hobbs, Gilles Peterson, Marc Riley and Mark Radcliffe
    • Agreed, Martha seems to quietly taken over as host of the Tuesday Bass and Big Beats show that Annie Nightingale did would be good to have some promotion to be done for her show. Agreed with this on bank holidays on a Radio 1 dance day inpaticular would be quite good to have Sarah Storey, Jaguar, Jeremiah Asiamah, Charlie Tee and Martha presenting. I always felt that in Christmas and New Year previously having Victoria Jane to do a Future Soul take over playlist.
    • To be fair to him, this week and next week he’s on his podcast tour which was arranged well before he started on R1. After that I would guess he’ll start being on everyday? 
    • It’s Jamie’s dream of a lifetime to be a full time Radio 1 presenter apparently, but he can only do it 2 or 3 days a week. 
    • Radio 1 generation meaning??  Today's 10-30 yr-olds? I doubt it. They'll still know Pete Tong though, because he is rhyming slang!
    • There was a time when everyone knew Zane Lowe or Annie Mac or Judge Jules or Dave Pearce or Annie Nightingale. Does the Radio 1 generation know the current bunch?
    • Looks like it's off to Preston! 
    • Would be nice to give more presence to the specialist shows over bank holidays. Surely the best way to promote new music credentials over anthems? As much as I accept it's very popular.
    • Peak radio 1 ! I agree with Bluestraw there was huge presence by specialist presenters then , certainly something I think radio1 could do more of now. Remember the takeover where specialist DJs would swap into main shows for a week? Or do we recall In New DJs We Trust, the competition on Chris moyles show where the winner would get a DJ set at radio 1s Ibiza weekend, and that is how Danny Howard’s radio career starters
    • Yeah. He started on R1 in the late 90's when they used do the 'Sessions in the Nations' where they used to split for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. He then moved to daytimes, firstly on weekends in 2003 then they replaced Mark & Lard on the mid afternoon slot in 2004.  Then he moved to late evenings as a specialist DJ.
    • Thanks for sharing that - I don't think I've seen it before. Didn't realise that Colin Murray off of Countdown and R5L used to be on R1! Several other current R2/R5L/R6M names there too.
    • 29th April has updated to show Dan back as presenter but still Nels in for Alyx on Introducing Rock. 6th May schedule has updated to show that the Radio 1 Big Weekend Shows will now be the following: 6am-10am 10am-2pm 2pm-6pm 6pm-8pm Still no presenters listed.
    • 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.
    • Yeah, I feel like they need a big push on Jack to cement him in his new position. But it shouldn't just be Jack, you've got Sian and Alyx for instance, who are relatively new faces.
    • 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.
