Can't wait 'til December so I can get my decorations up and have some Christmas fun!!

Me neither, but I'm patient enough to wait - I don't play christmas songs yet (well, I may have played one or two a month ago - but that was only to annoy my parents. and I may have played some on the piano this Sunday, but again, only to annoy the others...)

But the first of December - or the first advent Sunday (30.11, I think) - I'm ready with the decorations.

I love Britt Bendixen off the Danish strictly. She hates to criticize the contestants, and she's always like "You made a lot of mistakes, but you're such a cute couple and your dress is beautiful". And even if she gives really bad grades, like 2, she says it with a big smile :D

I'll be up all night on the 30th, waiting for that second when it becomes the 1st of December, and away I'll be!! Tree up, decorations everywhere, music going, everything!!

And the cards'll be written later that day, and any shopping I may have already done will also be wrapped that day too. Any shopping I'll have left to do will be done bit-by-bit though so it keeps the Christmas flowing and full of fun!!

I get to buy my tree in two weeks and I can't wait!!

Haha, amazing.

Last year I went to Aarhus on the 30th, and on the way home we listened to the Now Christmas CD I had just bought. When we reached the border, we stopped because my mum had to get over in her own car (we had picked her up from work and gone in my dad's car from there). We turned off the CD and they were playing Last Christmas on the radio. It turned it was exactly midnight and the radio now felt they could play Christmas songs as well.

Talking about book signings... I was absolutely gutted I left Scotland on the day Alan Carr was signing in Waterstone's. I'd have loved to meet him in person :D

Aww, awesome!!

I have almost 200 Christmas songs on my computer (gonna find some more if I can) and I randomly decide I feel like playing a song or two - which then turns into an hour or two worth of them instead. XD

I get really bouncy and excited when I hear Christmas music or see Christmas decorations. Hehe!!

This Record of the Week is a snorefest :bored:

What?! I think it's such a feel-good song.

8th of December? I thought the UK were faster than us when it comes to discovering new music, but I've owned the single (and the album) for months now...

Hello. I've had a crap day, drank too much, not enough sleep and too much work. Tucked up in bed with the radio on and a cup of tea and some porridge now.

Chappers had better get some new pyjamas, don't want another wardrobe malfunction!

    • 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.
    • 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
    • The Summer on Radio 1 thing makes me wonder whether they might be doing something similar to last year again where they have a temporary schedule over the summer before introducing changes in September - maybe the new host won’t start until after the summer?
    • There was talk on my Big Weekend group from the council about them waiting for Ticketmaster to send an email out. They said they've been waiting a week. Maybe they're waiting for train strike confirmation first. 
    • It’s on Saturday and Friday that week too. I guess this would make sense, as it gives them roughly 6 weeks off weekends until they start the new show?
    • Yeah he's on more than usual including this Sunday and then 3 more shows in May according to the above. Makes me think it's James for the weekend shows also
    • For some reason there is 'Summer on Radio 1' listed on Sunday 2nd June, could this be replacing M&M until July?
    • They seem to be using James more for cover now makes me think it will be him getting weekends eitjer breakfast or 1 till 4 
    • Yep am very much Capital Breakfast now. Jordan, Chris and Sian are a great trio and it's got that feel of the old shows Jordan and Chris used to do on Radio 1. It doesn't take itself too seriously but is packed full of content and slick. With Greg he's great but 6 years in you've probably heard it all before plus frankly I can sit through the Capital Playlist a lot more easily than the Radio 1 playlist (where some of the inclusions and omissions can be quite baffling at times). Plus after things like the Oscars or Met Gala or if there's a particularly big TV show or film or popstar then Greg won't half wang on about it at times. I guess it's partly to be expected with it being a Breakfast show on a young station but it can feel very London bubble and get tired.
    • Ore Olukoga is in for Arielle on Tuesday 14th May. James Cusack is in for Danny Beard on Saturday 1st June. James Cusack is in for Nat on Sunday 2nd June.
    • I honestly never thought in a million years I’d move from Radio 1 to be a regular Capital breakfast show listener. But it’s got pretty much everything I want - 3 really genuine, entertaining mates having a laugh, playing silly games and it all sounds great. I became a big fan of Chris from his days with Scott, became a Jordan fan on Going Home, and Sian Welby is newer to me but is loads of fun too.  It’s great and I’ve shocked myself by transferring my listening at breakfast. For me Greg’s show now feels very tired and it’s time for something new. But with Jordan gone that’s unlikely to happen anytime soon. Greg’s had a great run and I’m a fan - but there’s no new ideas now. I still listen to Radio 1 at other times - but this show feels like very serious competition for Greg. 
    • They have built four new studios to increase capacity, alongside the existing six.  Bearing in mind that some of the output of R1, 1X, R2 & 6M comes from elsewhere, and Asian Network is gradually moving all output to Birmingham, this should be enough!
    • How do they manage to cater for 6Music and Radio 2 on that floor? Did they adapt it?
