Mother's Day '09


Jono

Recommended Posts

buy her a new hoover and tell her to get on with it.

That's pretty harsh! Ima getting my mum some flowers and my sister is cooking her a meal. We always go out to the same place and the other fat sister always makes a scene, so not going out there again for a bit!

Ugh, really can't stand Mother's/Father's Day - not that I don't love my parents, I'd just rather not have society pressuring me into proving exactly how much I love them on one day out of every year. As I'm not in the UK at the moment it kind of rules out buying my mum anything this year or even sending her a card, as they don't seem to do Mother's Day at the same time as us in Spain (although strangely enough it's apparently Father's Day in about 4 days' time). So I guess all I can really send her is an e-mail saying "Happy Mother's Day, there, I remembered".

So save the last dance

i got her one of these last year or the year before, a galileo thermometer:

but the problem is she already has the small one and the medium sized one (one of which i bought her last time). there is a large one but i don't think it would be right in the living room, it's way too big. plus it costs a lot to replace if you knock it over!

i might have a drive around one or two of the garden centres tommorow and see if i can find something there. but i don't have many ideas at the moment.

on the grid.

Unfortunately I no longer have a mum, consequently Mother's Day makes me feel very sad indeed.

It's all too easy to be cynical about things like this, but 'Mothering Sunday' is technically a day of the Christian calendar, it wasn't simply a date devised by Hallmark/Coca Cola.

I would say that all mothers deserve at least one day of appreciation a year. Give her your love whilst she's still around is my advice, I'm so glad I did.

I will be lighting a candle for my mother on Sunday, and helping to make a fuss of the Boyf's mum.

Nice flowers Jono btw, lovin' the thermometer dc and I don't know what Peggle is Bumbly, but good pressie as it sounds as though she likes it. A LOT!

I got my mummy a digital photo frame because she's going through a phase of trying to be totally down with the kids and into "new fangled stuff" (I already had to talk her out of a blackberry, and an iPhone.) She's getting flowers from me vicariously too, as I don't think my brother's even aware that it's going to be Mothering Sunday, he's in Canada and I'd rather like to spare my mum's feelings, so I'll just thrust them into his hands with instructions to be nice.

In Poland we don't celebrate Mother's Day until May 26th and my mum prefers to keep it that way. My brother always insists on doing it the "English way" but I think it's silly ;) It is however my mum's Name Day in a week so it looks like I still have to get her something...

I've got my mum a card and a book which I had to give to my sister so she can pass it on to my mum because I won't be home, which I feel quite bad about. I normally buy some daffodils too, but I'll have to get them when I'm home.

    • The shows surely being driven for him so all he has to do is talk between the tracks and he can’t get even get that right 
    • I thought the same to that comment, the license fee is going on me babes 
    • What with Jamie Laing, now him. Is it time for a new Head of the station?
    • He also just said coming up we have brand new segment, I thought they were a band 🤣 how did this man get on Radio 1? Aled needs his head testing. It’s an insult people who deserve to be on the radio 
    • Of all the times not mention capital it's probably now? Jordan is flying on breakfast with chris & sian and there's a presenter on friday and saturday that doesn't know who a main r1 artist, tldp are. Mentions capital which surely has to be a big no no given recent events and then says the licence fee goes to me. Talk about vom. We can't have it on here no more as it's that unlistenable and I'm about to switch back for m&m, but this is a Maya Jama x50 level mess of a show. Forget fading the microphone down, the entire show needs fading down
    • As positives go, at least Danny said what the last song played was and upcoming song played was. Plus I guess in that link are perhaps ideas for content (asking listeners to come up with bands from things around them, things that have happened to them this week). That's where's the positives end. It comes across as no thought has gone into what Danny will say next. It gives me proper flashbacks to some Jamie Laing links (especially that one show where he was unexpectedly solo). It's ironic that for all the duos and trios on the station - the one show and DJ that is positively crying out for another DJ to help show them the ropes is left all solo. At least with Jamie Laing they learnt their lesson and he's not been left solo since.
    • How he was just faded out at the end of the link reminded me of the Oscars music fading you out 
    • RPReplay_Final1713612277.mp4   You’re welcome
    • At a time when Radio 1 has surely lost listeners to Capital at Breaktast you’d be trying to protect the station so people switch back.  Certainly yesterday I didn’t switch back to Radio 1 at all.
    • Was abysmal…Surely Danny can’t be a contender for anything permanent when the new schedules are locked in I.e Matt and Mollies slot 
    • Alexandra Burke creating the phrase 'Elephant In The Room' whooooooooo
    • Zane Versus.... Whooooooooo. Do You Do Fridays? WhooOOOooo.  
    • The Capital Breakfast show is right up my street so far - such a fun listen. You've both been great on Radio 1 and are sounding excellent again on Capital A few quickfire questions: You've both been part of some great pairings on radio and on podcast - what goes into making a duo or trio work and sound great on air? Also, Chris - were there ever any discussions about you moving over to Radio 2 with Scott or had the Global offer already come first? Also how do you both go about managing that split between your radio 'you' and the private 'you'? You share a lot on air but also there's some understandably some stuff you keep private (famously Jordan doesn't 'talk about those things'). And how do you make sure if you're having a miserable day or are a bit low that it doesn't come across too much on air?    
    • What a nightmare link at 11.15am this morning. Spent 30 seconds waffling about the name of The Last Dinner Party as if he’d never heard it before, then started mentioning Capital and the license fee, and how it’s been used to pay for him to be there, and was then cut off by the start of the next song.
    • Have been reading this all week. She's such a brave woman. Just got to the chapter where she explains why she missed Scott's leaving event at Radio 1. She talks about leaving Radio 1 because her mum's health got worse, and wanting to quietly leave radio at 44 just how she first arrived on the airwaves at 18. Worth a read!
