I notice some people seem to ALWAYS have their phone on them yet they'll not reply to a text for hours or even days. This really annoys me and they're the people I tend not to text.

I'm more of an immediate texter as I like getting into conversations otherwise I'll forget to reply.

What sort of texter are you?

It depends who it is who has text me. There are some people I always text back straight away, some I reply after a bit and some days I just ignore everyone.

I don't see any point in getting irritated with people who don't text me back, if I wanted a reply straight away or it mattered that much then I'd just ring them.

There/ They're/ Their. Different words.

I usually reply straight away, unless I'm in the middle of something important like cooking or sleeping. It also depends whether an immediate reply is necessary or not. I don't tend to leave it days to reply. If it's from someone who takes their time to reply to me, I tend to take my time to reply, because I don't want to seem too keen if they can't be bothered to make the effort.

I send the most texts on a Tuesday between 11am and 1pm because I have a 2 hour lecture where my friends and I all text each other (the lecturer is that good...)

I reply straight away, it annoys me if i dont. If i get i text i pretty much stop what im doing and reply or if i get a text and I've got no credit i have to get some so i can reply asap.. i think its becoming like an OCD problem!

Although.. on things like facebook or emails it takes me days to reply.. i normally let them all build up then just send out all my replies at once. :)

Generally I'm not too fussed about replying to texts immediately, if they're important ones then obviously I'll be on the case straight away.

The mobile phone culture does rather bemuse me, however. I loathe the fact that people can get hold of me at whatever time, wherever I am. Mobile phones are a fantastic invention, but they bring with them a serious loss of freedom.

Hmmmm.

It depends who it is. If I like you, you'll get a reply pretty much straight away. If not, I'll leave it a few hours, but then I forget. It also depends on the circumstances, if people are going to be late to class, etc. then I will reply back right away to let them know I'll pass on a message.

It depends on the nature of the text. If it's a catch-up text from my friends back home I normally reply after a few hours or days - that way it's a never-ending conversation with some people. If it's something important or some shocking news I usually reply straight away. Usually ;) And if it's just to chat (gotta love unlimited texts) I also tend to reply straight away. For some reason most people complain about my not replying to them for ages - but it doesn't normally depend on whether I like someone or not; sooner or later, I will reply. What annoys me more than anything else is when people don't get back to you when they are expected to, i.e. when it's something you desperately need to discuss right now, or when there is an issue that has not yet been resolved.

Who phones when you can text?

My thoughts exactly. I get texts that say, "Are you there?" and when I reply, "Yes", they call. But of course, I don't answer. If you can tell me in a text, you don't need to call me, and if its too much for a text, I don't need to hear it :)

It absolutely infuriates one of my friends, but I'm not one for talking on the phone. Plus, it uses up my minutes ;)

Ahahah. I know what you mean, I hate talking on the phone, I only talk to people I know well, otherwise I'm just dying to hang up. And I sometimes don't answer when it's a number I don't know until they ring again haha (this has changed a bit recently though). The only people I actually call of my own accord are my mum, my dad and my brother (although HE is awful to talk to on the phone). That said, if I do answer I don't actually stop talking for hours.

      Summer on Radio 1

      By ianwilk1999 · Posted

      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

      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.

      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.

      By Dan18F1 · Posted

      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?

      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
