I guess when you're young like some callers they won't consider it too serious anyway. Particularly the one talking to someone in Spain at the age of 13.

I've only heard the last half hour of the show, so am not totally up on what's going on. What I've heard from Aled so far is as good as ever. Has he drunk all of his units of alcohol for today already though?;)

He certainly seems to have been drinking a fair bit today. I hope he's not fallen off the bandwagon! Perhaps he's drunk a little and not eaten ;)

There seems to have been back to school offers going on since July. I'm glad I don't have to worry about that anymore. It used to really haunt me!

Why does this guy feel the need to talk about his sexuality? I would hate to meet someone who said they were gay in this first introduction. He shouldn't hide it, but don't boast about it either. Just subtly hint it.

Yeah my friend who is gay was worried about coming out when he was at school, he didn't want to be known as "Gay James" (not his name but you get the idea). He didn't want it to be the distinguishing feature of him like being gay is for Graham Norton. In the end people found out and no one was really that bothered although a few people made jokes about it. I think there is something to be said for people who are gay but don't want it to be a big deal, not all gay people feel the need to be flamboyant about it.

Yeah. I think this guy was concerned about it, but you should show your real side before worrying about your sexuality. Sexuality isn't going to change who you are. It's good that he wants to come out to them as it were though.

Argh I understand this exactly. My mother tried to make me do all sorts of things and never wanted me to do Geography at all. She also didn't want me to give up History after AS.

Ultimately though, it's your life, stick up for what you want to do.

It might well not help, but try pointing out that you're not in a gutter shooting up heroin!

I was lazy and ended up doing just the two. In hindsight, I think I may have had the ME back then in my last year of college as I was getting shattered for doing very little. It could have been laziness though. Either way it did thankfully pan out for university as they were rather accepting. Proof it's not always about your grades.

My parents want me to do four A-Levels but I only want to do three :(

I chose to do 4 because it have me more flexibility with my uni offers, but I only had 3 free periods while my friends had 14. The found it easier to get their heads round the work load and so they got pretty high grades for their own standard. I know I could have got straight As if I had time to keep on top of the work but it exhausted me.

It depends how competitive the course you want to do at uni is also.

Ah, changing friends. Especially that are doing dark stuff. Always happens...

I don't know how old that texter is. But I think you're always going to lose a lot of friends around the college years. They change and start doing stuff you don't want to do. There's peer pressure and you either get involved or you back away.

I see it so much. I found some of my friends too immature and others too mature. I think you end up at college with just a few good friends compared to the amount of friends you had at high school.

I had no complaints... as hard as it was.

I'm looking forward to going to university a year later. It's my sister's age group and to be honest they seem no different to my year group. I think I'm better at talking to younger people anyway, although there'll no doubt be plenty of mature students there too.

My college was different. It was a sixth form. I think a general college would be more accepting. Like the one we have in Norwich.

I took a year out and had no problems whatsoever with relating to my peers when I arrived at Uni.

College would be different though, don't you think?

We know you love your toy boys anyway :P

No accident and emergency this week? Shame. Always educational that.

Probably not, provided she can be sociable. Dunno, I enjoy nattering away with all you anklebiters.

You get a lot of younger teachers these days anyway. If she's like the girls at my college she'll flirt with them and spend break in their rooms. Haha.

Thoughts out loud again, Aled. Haha. Ah... seems I'll be going to bed with Jacko. First time for everything ;)

Heh. 'Da Bank Holiday'. Gosh, he's smooth!

      Radio 1 Schedule Changes

      Radio 1 at Parklife will be presented by Vicky and Nat. Nat is currently listed to present her usual Sunday show on that weekend but I imagine that will change and someone else will be doing it instead. The Radio 1 presenters at Download will be Daniel P Carter, Jack Saunders, Alyx Holcombe and Nels Hylton.

      He’s definitely gotten better and the show has sounded fine this week. I think it been at its best when it’s been Katie and Jamie or Vick and Katie. Vick and Jamie are ok together, but I do think the show sounds better when it’s Vick and Katie and therefore I still don’t really understand the point of the trio.    Jamie is, however, a lot better than Danny Beard!

      The RAJAR coming on later this year reflecting later summer to autumn will be interesting to how it reflects Matt and Mollie in afternoons to the revised changes on radio 1’s new music slots and the schedule re-shuffling Radio 3 introducing a new slate of programmes. Then, later on this year have speech radio stations having domestic political coverage of the election but also America’s presidential election.

      I actually caught snippets of today’s show, and I found it much better than the last time I listened. I have made it no secret that I like Jamie on the radio, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed Matt & him together last year. People have criticised him for not being relatable, but I have to agree with the comment above that I have always found him a naturally warm person to listen to. Maybe the going home set up was something that needed settling in and things are starting to take shape.  It must have been difficult for him joining an established duo in Vick & Katie to begin with.  Jamie was great on something songs today, fully engaged in the caller and sounded like a real presenter. Maybe he is doing as a lot of us hoped and really learning as he goes, how to do it properly.

      Agree with this. The anti-Jamie feeling was IMO quite influenced by the negativity around him replacing Jordan, since Jordan was exceptional and also universally loved. When people mention Danny and Jamie in the same sentence about bad hiring decisions I almost choke - Jamie may not be perfect but he's several leagues better than Danny already and has bags of potential. Danny is poor and has shown zero potential...

      Jamie started 4 March, and the figures only going up to 31 March, so it isn't reliable. But it has shown the numbers have dropped in afternoons compared to last quarter. It looks like it's Capital's gain.

      Do these audience figures reflect Jordan leaving and Jamie replacing him?

      I think Jamie is really starting to settle into the role well. He comes across as really warm, and genuinely invested in the listeners when he’s talking to them which is nice. I think he’s building a really great relationship with Vicki and Katie too. His recent great company podcast is great too, where he has quite a deep chat with someone new each week. He’s clearly a very genuine person and I think he has some real potential.

      Most probably. But do wonder what the future of the relax themed programmes will be when they officially wind down that service.

      I think it's just to replace Wind Down presents... which was in that timeslot, and I'm guessing Chillout Anthems was just a buffer since it'll still be played at 06:00 on Sundays.

      With listening on the U.K. for the industry in general it is good overall as most stations reach is on the up and shows radio to be more sustainable and stable outlet than linear televisions channels. This RAJAR I think with the increase shift to DAB+ the BBC will be able to say it has it’s audiences for the proposed new stations it wishes to launch and think the new innovative ideas that it seems Jack himself can take credit for on the new music show think the younger under 30 gen z demographic could increase se in that time-slot.
