Beccy's sneezing theory


Recommended Posts

can you actualy sneeze by looking at a bright light as becky from the show thinks she can.

That's really not healthy as you get black shapes floating around your vision. And in what situation would you find a practical reason where you wanted to sneeze?

if you know you are going to sneeze but for some reason aren't sneezing - looking at a bright light makes you sneeze.

if you're not going to sneeze looking into a bright light won't do anything.

Ahh that'd explain alot. So we don't have to risk migrains to test the theory.

I've also heard putting your finger under your nose prevents you sneezing, not sure why it would though...

But I does, I always use that. Well, the sneeze will come a bit later anyway, but you can prevent it for the moment. It's not enough to put your finger there, you have to sort of push it against your upper lip right under the nose. You're not supposed to "close" the nostrils or anything. If you do it the right way it works :)

Looking into the light has always helped me get out that sneeze that just seems to be "stuck" :) In fact if I'm indoors for a while and walk outside, I usually sneeze at least five times.

I've only ever met one other person that did the same thing, so I'm glad to hear there are more of us out there :B)

It can be. But I think it would be worse to stand there with an odd look on your face and scruntching your nose up saying, "I have to sneeze", and never actually sneezing :)

Plus, your nose gets all itchy. And thats never fun in public :oops: lol

I always thought that it was just looking up that helped you sneeze when you couldn't. Opens the air ways and all that.

I think this theory has come from another one, that looking at the sun helps you sneeze - maybe its because the sun makes you shut your eyes (needed for sneezing, otherwise your eyes would pop out) and by looking up, the snot / discomfort moves back down your nostrils, so aggrevating the problem, making your body react.

I love a good sneeze. Infact, I've started saying "Aaa tish ooo" when I do one, I've no idea when this started, or why I do it.

    • Yeah they make the weekend shifts go so much quicker. Like today, the piece about Matt falling asleep in the cafe was funny, it's clear to see why they're going to weekdays. It could well be they were thinking of Danny for it and like you say have decided against that, or like I said at the start it's James Cusack and the slow down on the announcement is him getting out of his contract. Remember he works for radio 1's main rivals. I think it's quite telling that he's doing more r1 cover than usual, tomorrow and then a further 3 weekend shows in a row
    • Nat in for Dean with Vicky between the 28th-30th May.
    • I suspect they’re gonna tie the announcement into something, or they’ve changed plans. I know we’ve said it as a joke but I wonder if Aled was planning on giving it to someone like Danny Beard, but he’s decided against that after the last few weeks. Seems clear to me, though, that if Jordan hadn’t left, then Katie would’ve taken Dean and Vicky’s slot and Matt and Mollie would’ve stayed on weekends, which probably explains why they haven’t picked a replacement yet. If it was going to be the obvious choice, I.e. James Cusack, surely they would’ve announced it by now..?
    • Yep think they mentioned that this is their penultimate weekend of shows but then they will also be on air during Big Weekend and they mentioned they'll be doing 'Party Anthems' on stage during Big Weekend which sounds intriguing. Will miss Matt & Mollie on weekends - they in particular have made that Friday afternoon slot their own - but they'll be great on weekdays. Do wonder if 'Summer on Radio 1' is just a placeholder name until they decide on who will cover the interim. While it's obviously not the case it does feel like they've forgotten there's that weekend afternoon slot to fill given no permenant presenter has been announced for it yet.
    • Zoe Ball is back on the breakfast show on Monday.
    • Just listening to matt and mollie at work and heard them say it's their second to last show on weekends
    • And Arielle mentioned in her Instagram post that her final early breakfast show is the 27th of June - the Thursday before Glastonbury 
    • When Matt covered breakfast on 22nd April, he said their new show was starting in 10 weeks, so that’d be the 1st July.
    • Would love for it to be like the Summer Friday Thing that me and @DC were remisincing about recently. Lots of events going on that could easily form part of it.  https://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/summer/cardiff/thursday/1.shtml
    • I'm guessing there is also a stack of weekend events like Glastonbury
    • I think more likely it'll just be a temp presenter for weekends 1-4 to give Matt & Mollie time off, plus time to plan and pilot the new show.
    • Yeah I don’t think they’ll be anything that drastic - maybe a week or 2 of cover on early breakfast etc, but maybe just having that weekend afternoon slot covered over the summer means they can put someone on from September who maybe isn’t available until then? 
    • But they said the main changes would happen in July.

    • I wouldn't be surprised if they do this around June time: 05.00 Ore Olukoga 07.00 Greg James 10.30 RMC 14.00 VKJ  That'll probably happen (for my guess) from the 17th June. And for weekends: 07:00 Sam & Danni 11:00 Gregor Davidson 15:00 Charlie Hedges Maybe Fridays aswell: 07:00 Greg James 11:00 Gregor Davidson 14:30 Jack Saunders
