Freshers' Flu

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.

I thought I'd avoided it too..until today. Urgh, I feel like death.

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.

    • I see Katie (and Mairead) were out with Jordan tonight.  I don’t listen to the show any longer, I am shocked they are allowed to mention Jordan.
    • At least I do not ask stupid questions…😂
    • I suggest you follow the other DJs too if so, you will learn the hardest working will go further 🤣
    • A simple check on his instagram would answer all your questions , he’s on tour with his wife and the team behind his podcast. I suggest anyone to follow the radio presenters, you will learn a lot about their other jobs and work commitments. 
    • Where is Jamie? It felt like he was settling in when Vick wasn’t on but he’s not been on since last Tuesday now. They’ve not even mentioned him, in fact they’ve mentioned Jordan more than they’ve mentioned him in the last two days.
    • Scott's show is on the road next week, live from Malmö in Sweden on Wednesday and Friday, ahead of Eurovision. As he's doing the semi final coverage on the TV on Tuesday and Thursday alongside Rylan, Gary Davies sits in for him on those days.
    • I don't feel there's so much overlap between M&M and Scott's shows. M&M is of a similar calibre to Scott & Chris on R1, with genuine laugh out loud moments and usually a show packed full of real interesting content. Scott's R2 show is IMO a shadow of the stuff he did on R1 (not his fault, he's doing exactly what station management want), with music and content to appeal to a much older audience.
    • To be fair, Scott & Chris would've still been fine on Radio 1. It was mentioned at the time that Scott's move was very much on Radio 2's part rather than Radio 1 wanting to move them on. That's the one problem that Radio 2 has, trying to appeal to such a wide demographic.. it's the perfect listen for many, but equally a turn off for many others. I think they have the balance fairly right.     
    • I agree Scott has always been a good standalone presenter, but always better when with someone. When chappers left the radio one show it felt a different show and Chris joining was what it needed and brought new life. for the format of the radio 2 show Scott’s show fits well with the station but again, there’s the huge gap between radio1 and 2 As been said already old radio2 listeners feel it now feels too young with latest changes, yet old radio1 listeners still feel radio 2 feels too old. The inbetween stage demographic of too old for radio 1 but too young for radio 2 is still not catered for radio 2 was left to grow old with its audience for too long and to change things up now feels to try and change a brand image the right thing to do is leave it as it is and cater for that 1.5 demographic which I’m sure the new proposed 00s and 10s station will do if approved. Problem is it’s so overdue that by the time it gets off the ground these listeners are already likely to be lost and the changing image of radio2 likely to lose what it stands for as a brand with the “it’s too young now “  moving to boom and the “ it still sounds old “ crowd not able to move with their favourite presenters like Scott so finding themself on capital a radio 1.5 would have been perfect for Scott and Chris, seems unlikely but this is why I think who branding of bbc radio needs a rethink if these new stations get off ground
    • Bank Holiday Monday Schedule 6am-10am: Arielle Free in for Greg 10am-2pm: Dean & Vicky (No Rickie, Melvin & Charlie) 2pm-6pm: Vick & Jamie (No Katie) 6pm onwards: As normal.
    • Dare I say they've sounded great this past week?  Very much gelling.  Maybe less pressure?  Seem to be having a genuinely good time and not forcing things.
    • I'm in the minority in my workplace, most of them love country music.  Me, the American, does not care for it.  That said, I haven't haaaaaated some of the country adjacent stuff that's been on the R1 playlist.  
    • The Eurovision semi finals are on from 8 to 10pm on Tuesday 7th and Thursday 9th May with Richie Anderson. That means Sara Cox in on till 8 on those days.  Saturday 11th May is Eurovision 'Super Saturday... 1-3pm Your Ultimate Abba song with Gary Davies  3-6pm Michelle Visage's Eurovision All Stars 6-8pm Eurovision Request Party with Owain Wynn Evans 8pm Eurovision Grand Final with Scott Mills and Rylan Clark  
    • It is funny because everyone thought Matt was on the way out, now he's been described as the heir to Mills.
