Back to work on Sunday and sticking a massive middle finger up to xmas by working right through till the 29th. I loathe the way the UK changes hours because of what is a religious event and being forced to have the day off because of it, but this year due to what I'm now doing it means I can actually to go work and treat is as best I can like any other day.

I wrote this elsewhere in relation to xmas but its probably worth pasting it here too.....

Christmas is the main event in the christian calendar. I am an aethiest and have no time for religion. For the most part I can get by without any religious things creeping in, except I can't escape this one. I don't appreciate having a religious event forced upon me but I have to put up with it. Sadly all my friends take the view that I'm a scrooge and should be getting into the spirit, without any respect for my desire to lead an entirely religion free life.

Its also a horrible time of year for some people for personal reasons as well. I know my Mum and an Aunt in particular don't like this time of year as one of my Grans was killed in a car crash shortly before christmas a few years ago, and a couple of years later a cousin had a seizure one morning and also died. My other Gran died shortly before christmas several years ago as well so I don't think its a particularly great time of year for my Dad either. I know it really bothers my Mum being expected to "get into the spirit" of it, because it just shows a complete ignorance for peoples personal lives.

When the notice went up at work looking for volunteers to work over xmas and new year, I was the first to get my letter in saying I was interested. I had a feeling it would be at an overtime rate because it was xmas day but even if it had been at the standard rate I wouldn't have been too upset about it, also got a special request in to do a certain route that day because it goes up to where I used to live and I don't do that one because its operated by another depot

I have to agree with a lot of this. I have experienced upsets and deaths of family members at this time of year as well.

I used to believe more in religion, but I think this current "tenancy" situation has caused me to revise my views. What kind of God would put people (vulnerable) or otherwise into danger time and time again. But then, another part of me thinks ... with existence on planet Earth comes the free will to make decisions, so is it God's fault?? It is very confusing.

Today, despite all I have said above, I wound up in a church - makes no sense at all really, but when do I ever make sense!!

:hahaha:

:hahaha: LOL.. it DOES really !!!!!!!

Seems you can get your msp to raise matters for you - housing = devolved matters.

Other matters are called "reserved" and are for UK parliament... So Cameron must have overall power?!

Seems you can also get a petition going with the Scottish Parliament. Fascinating this... the more I know, the more I want to know. :hahaha:

Met Joe off of playing Scott in Scott Mills The Musical today! Been talking to him on twitter for a while now and when he announced he was gonna be in a production at one of my local theatres I decided to toddle off down there to watch him! It was brilliant. Met up with him afterwards, such a lovely guy. Sadly couldnt stay for long though as he had to say goodbye to some of the child actors whos last night it was and I had to catch the train home.

And I won't sit down,

And I won't shut up,

But most of all I will not grow up <3

Received letter via MSP... the landlord's practices may be stopped pending further investigations. Jesus. Need to wait.

In the meantime, received word about another property and cousin and I are off to view it this avo. Think we would be best moving forward.

I need to photocopy the correspondence and put it through my neighbour's door in the dark. What a carry on. At least if we can get this resolved, and I can move house, I never need to deal with him again.

Save me from myself.

    • 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
    • Vick and Jordan together on Insta (with Ariel’s) in Ibiza. You do imagine Jordan’s ex colleagues have a very different attitude to him than management. Comments on Help! And very subtle comments on Capital Breakfast suggest Jordan was frustrated with Radio 1 / BBC management.  
    • I can name quite a few people on this forum who would be better presenters than Danny.
