I was so glad I managed to avoid it... until today :| I think I've got it.

Anyway the best tip I can give you is don't cough in your lectures. You'll be hated :P Although literally everyone has been coughing in our lectures - it sounds almost artificial.

I remember in first year some of the lecturers getting angry with everyone coughing in lectures. If you're coughing loads, don't bother going.

Drink lots of water, get lots of sleep, but also get out and about and get exercise and fresh air during the day time.

I've not managed to get it yet this year which is pretty amazing as I've been out 5 nights in the last 8 and not slept much. I'm hoping it won't catch up with me.

Exactly the same.

My throat was hurting yesterday but I assumed it was from 2 nights of gigs and yelling. I got quite a lot of sleep last night but now my head hurts and my throat hurts and I can feel that the glands in my neck are swollen. I'm back in bed now. It's really annoying because I'm supposed to be going to 2 different birthday events in town tomorrow night and I want to be able to drink. Still, I knew I had this coming, I've been overdoing things and I always get freshers flu.

That's the same as me - same symptoms like a bad head, sore throat and I'm soo cold. Is this fresher's flu then?

I've just been out and bought some Lemsip :)

Yep I have this and i'm not even a fresher :(

I blame our new housemate as she is a. Plenty of generic Tesco brand lemon flavoured cold remedy for me.

i might look at doing something in college next year, i've been involved with radio for nearly 5 years. so i will probably know the drill if i take anything along those lines, it's just being bothered to sort it all out and get into that routine. then maybe if i take something up i'll probably feel i have a little more meaning in my life again.

on the grid.

I got fairly lucky, i did get it around Monday but with the expection of Tuesday night where i was really bad, i only got a slight case of it and i was still well enough to make an appearance at all events.

I didn't drink alcohol for 2 nights, got lots of fresh air, drunk a lot of lucozade and hot drinks, ate fairly bland foods like crackers and got a good amount of sleep.

And now i'm feeling fairly good. :) Not that i'm rubbing it in or anything! :P

Just for the record: Binge drinking is not big and it's not clever.

However, I did indeed imbibe 7 shots of tequila, on top of the 3 glasses of wine I had before I left home. I remembered on shot number 7 to order a glass of water as well, thus was not as dehydrated as I was last time and felt significantly less ill afterwards. I didn't plan to drink so much but I felt rubbish and stupid after seeing people from school so getting drunk seemed like a good solution.

      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.
