tell us more, where did you get that from? how does it work?

It's a 160GB box from Top Up TV. You don't have to use it for Top Up TV though - just Freeview.

It just downloads occasional promotional shows like the National Lottery Xtra which you can delete but it's great for me as I don't have a huge archive of shows - just a few TV shows a night I watch and delete later.

It's a reconditioned box from TUTV themselves but for £30 I couldn't fault it.

You can also get three months free of Setanta Sports 1.

I had dinner in Wetherspoons and we won £1.50 on the Itbox playing Deal or no Deal then I played pool in Rileys with the boys for a couple of hours and I won a few games. Not a bad evening. We didn't go to a club because we're still tired from being ill all week.

Tomorrow night we're going to be doing some painting, making fancy dress costumes for monday night, when we are going to be dressed up as playing cards, 10 of us, for a 7 legged bar crawl, so 6 people at once will be tied together which should result in rather a lot of injuries but will hopefully be quite amusing.

That sounds amazing! We've got a dress-up event on Monday too - ours is "School Disco" themed so I've had to get my mum to send me my tie in the post.

Well this doesn't exactly 'rock', but it made me smile. Whilst clearing out my email account this morning I found unopened replies from Scott and Zane which I hadn't even noticed before.

I really need to be more organised.

Woo, congratulations! I was going to apply to go but never got round to it...

Its not too late to apply Emma. You should it looks like it will be a great experience.

Ill be going at some point next summer but I don't know when yet or even whereabouts in the states I'm going. That depends on what camp I get placed at.

    • For some reason there is 'Summer on Radio 1' listed on Sunday 2nd June, could this be replacing M&M until July?
    • They seem to be using James more for cover now makes me think it will be him getting weekends eitjer breakfast or 1 till 4 
    • Yep am very much Capital Breakfast now. Jordan, Chris and Sian are a great trio and it's got that feel of the old shows Jordan and Chris used to do on Radio 1. It doesn't take itself too seriously but is packed full of content and slick. With Greg he's great but 6 years in you've probably heard it all before plus frankly I can sit through the Capital Playlist a lot more easily than the Radio 1 playlist (where some of the inclusions and omissions can be quite baffling at times). Plus after things like the Oscars or Met Gala or if there's a particularly big TV show or film or popstar then Greg won't half wang on about it at times. I guess it's partly to be expected with it being a Breakfast show on a young station but it can feel very London bubble and get tired.
    • Ore Olukoga is in for Arielle on Tuesday 14th May. James Cusack is in for Danny Beard on Saturday 1st June. James Cusack is in for Nat on Sunday 2nd June.
    • I honestly never thought in a million years I’d move from Radio 1 to be a regular Capital breakfast show listener. But it’s got pretty much everything I want - 3 really genuine, entertaining mates having a laugh, playing silly games and it all sounds great. I became a big fan of Chris from his days with Scott, became a Jordan fan on Going Home, and Sian Welby is newer to me but is loads of fun too.  It’s great and I’ve shocked myself by transferring my listening at breakfast. For me Greg’s show now feels very tired and it’s time for something new. But with Jordan gone that’s unlikely to happen anytime soon. Greg’s had a great run and I’m a fan - but there’s no new ideas now. I still listen to Radio 1 at other times - but this show feels like very serious competition for Greg. 
    • They have built four new studios to increase capacity, alongside the existing six.  Bearing in mind that some of the output of R1, 1X, R2 & 6M comes from elsewhere, and Asian Network is gradually moving all output to Birmingham, this should be enough!
    • How do they manage to cater for 6Music and Radio 2 on that floor? Did they adapt it? 
    • I think we've all figured out now how much you like it @AndyK77 😂 Personally while I think it's by far the best show on the Capital schedule and better than its predecessor, it still has the shortened songs and other commercial-radio aspects that remind me why I'm a Radio 1 fan. No matter how well this has worked out for Jordan, and all credit to him for landing the job, I can't help but feel that a Jordan and Katie show on R1 breakfast would have been so much better!
    • A few weeks in and I am actually loving the show and Jordan is a nice mix of his old chaotic self and dare I say it a slick jock.
    • He must be in his element. At Eurovision and a Gold award!
    • I really like Rylan, and as much of a fun idea it would be to have Scott and Rylan together, I think Rylan is too much of a main character.  Scott needs a side-kick rather than a full on co-host I think. That’s why he and Chris worked so well, Scott steered the show, and Chris was the perfect person to have alongside him.    I don’t religiously listen to Rylan’s show, but when I do catch it, it’s perfect weekend energy. He has a very warm presenting style too, but something makes me think he and Scott together every day would be a bit too much.     
    • So pleased for Scott on his best entertainment show win. As much as I miss his R1 style, he clearly puts so much into his shows, well deserved and it’s a big two fingers up to all the abuse he has had since joining R2
    • There are a lot that share your sentiments. People have made comparisons to the different takes to Ukraine. 
    • It's a big 'No' from me (Israel-Palestine). No further comments.
    • A joke about pirates: ‘but we’re not jumping ship, like someone else’
