What I find worrying is how hard they found the exam.

I know I'm not the best judge because maths is my subject but I don't get how some of them did so badly... Like 1%... no way..

Oh yeah just because you're a maths boffin!

It's not like they did the foundation paper. They did the higher paper which is instantly a fail for anything under a B/C.

If they'd done the foundation paper it would have been a heck of a lot easier. But without any revision I'd have no clue how to measure the side of triangles, quadratic equations and finding the circumference of a circle.

We're also just going by the one paper. You will have done coursework and another paper :P

Well I did say that I wasn't the best judge!

I thought some of them did the intermediate paper.

I now actually fear the day I forget all of my maths..

2 X pi X R?

You asking me or telling me?

Maybe they should have done the foundation paper. It kind of makes people who did that paper sound like they were worthless because the DJs didn't do well in a higher paper.

Although if they managed a C in the foundation paper I guess they can sit smugly :)

...like, you get a U? Oh God, I was on Higher for my maths. This explains a lot.

Yes, that's why you have the choice to which paper you get entered into, or the teacher does. I did the intermediate paper where it's much easier to get a B than in the Higher paper. There's also a foundation paper where it's easier to get a C.

It's unfair if you are perhaps a C grade candidate as you get stuck with hard questions on a higher paper. So they put you on the foundation paper where there are more C grade questions.

I never got the choice, it was just a given that we were all doing higher tier because we were in the top class. I am going to kill my old maths teacher. I know the basics, and can do a fair bit of algebra, so I would've been so much better on the foundation exam.

Ooh, plastic surgery talk! It's like Desperate Housewives!

finding the circumference of a circle

"Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee, around the circle is Pi x D. if the area is to be declared please remember Pi R squared."

Ahem, we had to learn that in year nine.

Don't say that about braces, I want mine off as soon as possible! I'm known as "brace face Grace" to pretty much everyone.

Scott, that sounds so attractive.

I've had temporary teeth and they came out in an apple. It's not nice. Root canal involves having your teeth being filed down too. It's not nice.

Actually I am squirming at the thought. I think it's a worse thought that having your wanger cut off.

Yes well you've just had your exams. Whereas I was in Year 9 six years ago. Five years since my GCSE exams too. You'll soon forget it ;)

I knocked my front two teeth out when I fell off my bike. Temporary teeth for a bit and then they built them up. Although I'm told one day they might go weird and they'll have to be taken out again :(

Afternoon!

I found the time to come and chat to you, woo :D

Welcome along Sigrid!

Haha, guys, if you had to pick, and you could only keep one (the other one being filed off with no anaesthetic), would you keep the teeth or the wanger?

I still remember that!

And about a million others.

There really is no incentive for me to learn how to ride a bike.

He's just a living reminder of me! I was going down a hill, couldn't work out how to do my bike breaks, pulled the front breaks, and went over the handle bars and slid along the tarmac.

I'm going for tea... it's bad memories!

      Scott v Matt and Mollie

      By xxladybarefootxx · Posted

      I quite quickly gave up on Scott’s show on R2 as I realised it wasn’t my kind of vibe. I do listen to the Scott Mills weekly to catch up, because I still think Scott is great, but there is just something missing (for example, he played out some clips recently of the old sleep recording app from the R1 days, and didn’t play ‘go and open the window Garry’ - or if he did, it didn’t make it to the podcast.) I don’t see them changing it now or making it any ‘younger’ than it is.   Matt & Mollie in the afternoon is something that I’m really looking forward to. They are such an interesting and funny listen. It has given me a different dilemma though, as 1pm has been the perfect time for me to catch up on the Capital breakfast show and takes me perfectly to the end of my working day, so now I’ll probably have to forego listening to that and stick with R1 for Matt & Mollie. These shows need podcasts because it’s already giving me fomo.

      Even for the older Radio 1 listeners (of which there are still quite a few) Scott’s show doesn’t feel quite right.  (That’s nothing on Scott who sounds good but more the station sound and content). Since moving to Capital Breakfast I haven’t been listening to much Radio 1.  I always found the shows outside of Breakfast and Drive more wallpaper due to my working day and the show content of RMC and Dean and Vicky so Capital is just background noise to me after enjoying Breakfast.

      I love Scott but if you're a 20 or 30 something that enjoyed his last few years of Radio 1 the Radio 2 show just doesn't translate. Stars from Neighbours or 90s singers just aren't my cup of tea and I can't get enthused about some has been at Radio 2 in the Park or some country music countdown.  Until that changes I will probably more likely listen to Matt and Mollie.  The Steve Wright fans think Radio 2 has turned into Radio 1 but it has a long way to go to win over the older R1 audience.

      Radio 2 brought in Scott to bring the afternoon audience age down, but I feel with Matt and Mollie replacing Dean and Vicky they're going to be competing for a similar audience. Will Scott's show evolve to bring in more listeners or do you think they will be comfortable with the audience they currently have?

      Yes I'm the same with 6Music. Huw Stephens offers something different.

      They are an answer. I do listen to 6 Music quite a bit but kind of feel like it isn’t for me unlike the New Music Fix Daily, Huw Stephens who I’d happily listen to. Think it’s a generational thing and music preference. But it’s like how 1 Xtra cut down Snoochie Shy’s nightly show to just Monday and with Wednesday and Thursday with just playlist programme. I just miss the days of having more choice of that time of night.

      Practically speaking, Riley & Coe on 6Music is the answer to that problem - but I get your overall point.

      Yes and thats the huge selling point after 6pm as always has been in the evening. As when I started listening to radio 1 about eleven twelve years ago its the station that got me into music new and familiar artists and bands. I think the issue with a lot of the new music shows being crammed in length of the shows and not all is live there’s less chance for a presenter to tell you about the band or artist or have the impression of chatting to the listener by reading out texts and emails or including voice notes. I’m really enjoying Jack Saunders’ new music show as thats how you do a show like that on Radio 1 good mix of genres but from 10pm onwards you don’t have the presenter chatting to the listener or that live feel as sometimes you need at that time.

      Given one of yesterday’s ‘bangers’ was Noah Kahan’s Stick Season, I doubt it.

      How has it been working early mornings as a parent, Chris? Is it harder to juggle than the 1-4 slot?

      I still think Dua Lipa could make the line-up. She's in the Live Lounge soon. Would be a scoop if they had two of the key Glastonbury performers.

      But if Radio 1's big selling point is new music it's strange. Clara fell a bit flat in comparison to her predecessors because she wasn't shaped in the same way as Annie or Zane.
