I got dumped by e-mail - although I'd already moved to Wrexham by that time and was an hour away from my ex, so he didn't really have much of a choice. I generally think that phone/e-mail dumping is acceptable if you're a long way away from the person in question. Text dumping on the other hand I've never approved of, as texts are very restrictive and don't allow you to explain your reasons properly to your partner.

So save the last dance

For me my love 'cause I

I see you as an angel freshly fallen from the sky...

Dumping via social networking sites = all time low. Jono would probably dump me on here ;)

I'm not on the computer all the time whereas I do always have my phone with me. I imagine if I got dumped by email I wouldn't know until a few hours later, probably after I'd sent lots of texts to said person in a perfectly happy way.

email dump? You may as well send a letter/telegram when it comes to people like me ;)

I dumped someone by text once, but in my defence I knew it was low but thought it was deserved. I was told when I was going to her house I was to walk in front of her because she had a reputation to keep up. Needless to say that particular "relationship" lasted all of 2 days

I've been accused of doing this!

What got me was that I never actually said it was over, it's only when I heard from a friend of my ex that I was all kinds of names under the sun,I asked what they were going on about and they enlightened me...

I shown the message that I sent which was "If we're arguing like this, then I can't really see the point anymore" so she asked "does that mean we're over" I said "We need to talk"... and that was it. Still, her stupidity did me a favour, I couldn't imagine being with someone as thick as a plank of wood for the rest of my life.

when i hear "we need to talk" i think a relationship is over.... usually cos that means it will be, from past experience.

Yeah, "we need to talk" are the most foreboding words anyone can hear in a relationship I think.

Reminds me of Flux by Bloc Party now. "We need to taaaaaallk".

I've never broken up with somebody over text or email but I have done it over MSN. I think it's fair enough because it allows time for them to think about their responses but also allows discussion in real time and doesn't restrict you to 160 characters.

I suppose it's sort of better to be dumped through virtual communication than waste money and time travelling to see someone, only to get dumped in person.

I dumped someone over msn but it wasn't exactly a significant relationship so I didn't feel too guilty. I also did it in a text once (or a multimedia, actually) but only because there was no other way to do it - I did intend to do it in person originally. I still feel bad about that but we've discussed it many times since then. Dumping someone is probably one of the worst things you'll have to go through when the other person is not expecting anything. I always try to do it in person though as most of the time it's something that needs to be discussed.

The ex used to say this a lot to me.

I distinctly remember 1 time when I woke up to a message sayin "we need to talk". When she got back from her driving lesson it turned out she had been havin a look through my phone and had noticed I had called another girl (who was a friend) the previous day. I was thoroughy £@%$£# off when I discovered thats what it was about, because like most people I thought those 4 little words meant the end

Thats exactly what i had to do recently because the ex didnt realise how horrible he was being and when i told him he laughed. he thought i was ok though and when i ended it, he totally didnt expect it. he then continued to guilt trip though...

If I was going to finish it, I'd have told her to her face, but it was our first argument in 6 months of being together, still I moved on and landed myself in a whole world of dump with my last GF.

I'm staying single for bit! lol

See, I always think that if I ever split up with my current boyfriend (hypothetically speaking) then I'll probably stay single for a while. After all we've been together for 2.5 years which is not bad for a teenage relationship (AND I'm in my first year of uni). But then again, I just know that I won't stay single as that's one thing that I really cannot do - I'm one of those who always HAVE to be with someone :P

      I must have missed that yesterday, sorry! Scott did make the same tongue in cheek comment on today's show about Rylan. It's a shame Rylan isn't the go to cover for Scott, I assume his commitments away from R2 prevent that. I enjoyed his last cover stint. Spoony is the go to stand in for the mid afternoon slot (he's covering again week after next while Scott's off getting married).   In that case, I think you're right!

      Not that last minute. Scott was talking about it on his own show yesterday, saying he and Rylan have a deal where they cover each other's shows but Rylan only covers Scott when he can be bothered!

      Sorry I should have been clearer, I meant daytime weekday. Weekend shows would count as a 'step up' from overnights for OJ.

      If we're counting the overnight slot, OJ Borg regularly covers weekend shows.

      The only weekday R2 DJ who would ever cover a weekend slot?!

      What I assume is a very last minute change... Scott Mills is in for Rylan today.

      Radio 1 at Parklife will be presented by Vicky and Nat. Nat is currently listed to present her usual Sunday show on that weekend but I imagine that will change and someone else will be doing it instead. The Radio 1 presenters at Download will be Daniel P Carter, Jack Saunders, Alyx Holcombe and Nels Hylton.

      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.
