Humour is a coping mechanism when people dont quite know what to do for the best.

I believe people are getting too worked up about this. It will affect people, but probably only a small minority of people.

People must not stop living there lives when something like this comes about

take control

Doesnt attack the old apparently... anyone under 45

That's really interesting, I heard an NHS quote saying it was mostly the old who would be effected. How weird. I wish the government would get their facts straight. :confused:

On the other hand, they're sending information leaflets out within the next week instructing people what do in event of a pandemic, so hopefully that will at least prepare people.

To be honest I've read it up a bit on the internet and like to know what's happening with it in the news, but I'm not very concerned about it. I'm just waiting for a newspaper to announce dead set it going to occur. Big Brothers not that far away is it?

:yeahthat:. The way the media are stirring it up, you'd think it was War of the Worlds again.

Best bit of it all for me was the BBC News Channel at 2pm. Some reporter was outside the school in Torbay, someone walked past the camera, had a gas mask on and was throwing his hands around in a state of panic before walking off camera. The reporter just paused and continued.

I can only hope it turns up on Have I Got News For You this week.

I don't think anyone knows - in Mexico it's mostly young adults.

This is worrying people because in 1918 it was young adults it mostly affected, they think because their immune systems over-reacted to it.

My housemate now thinks they're going to cancel music festivals because of it and is sad because he thinks Glastonbury won't happen. A little premature to panic about that, I think.

I spoke to my mum on the phone last night and surprisingly she didn't mention the swine flu threat. I bet she's panic buying though.

A joke or a serious question? Seems to lack smileys. It goes up to level six if you were being serious.

That was actually a rather witty, tongue in cheek Spinal Tap reference from Alan. You should see this spoof rockumentary Jono. It's very funny.

      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 Schedule Changes

      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.

      Going Home with Vick, Katie and Jamie

      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.
