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.

"Where can you go from there?"

"These go to eleven." We watched it in Media Studies, brilliant film. Nice one Alan.

I've seen the TV ad warning me not to sneeze and then wipe my hand on a lift button. Or not to press lift buttons or something.

I've never had proper seasonal flu (I won't touch wood, because it might have the virus on it) so I'm not too concerned about catching this because it doesn't seem to spread much faster. Apparently they have revised the death count due to this flu downwards in Mexico, it does seem more media hype than serious pandemic.

However, if it spreads and I catch it, I won't be so laissez-faire in future about these things.

Interesting to point out that 13 out of an estimated population of 65,000,000 people in the UK have confirmed Swine Flu. More people have a common cold, for gods sake!!

Didn't stop my university sending me a panic e-mail telling me to check my inbox every morning (I assume that's not a euphemism) to check the university isn't closed because of it.

Tulisa of N-Dubz is being treated in hospital for suspected swine flu.

The 20-year-old singer was travelling to Athens in Greece to visit family when she became sick during the flight, reports The Sun.

A spokesman for N-Dubz confirmed the star is sick, saying: "We are hopeful Tulisa will be given the all-clear and will be well enough to leave hospital in the next couple of days."

After fainting and suffering from similar symptoms to the virus, Tulisa was taken to an isolated ward in Pendeli, Greece.

A source tells the paper: "Tulisa is very poorly indeed. She has gone from a huge high of chart success and the tour to panicking about her health."

"Tulisa's family have been forced to wear masks and have only been allowed minimal contact. It is a terrifying time."

Wow the UK population has grown since I last checked! It must be those extra 5 million people who brought the flu with them.

My uni is recommending that I don't go to Mexico.

I'm still eagerly awaiting the Government Swine Flu leaflet that has apparently be sent to all of us. Sure there will be much fun to be had with it... paper plane construction, home made mask, makeshift tissue for when you get the snuffles? Who knows... the possibilities are endless...

      Summer on Radio 1

      By Jono · Posted

      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

      Summer on Radio 1

      By Lily Georgia · Posted

      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.

      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.

      By GregJames_fan · Posted

      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?

      Radio 1's Big Weekend 2024

      By Jono · Posted

      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?

      Jordan North's first Capital Radio breakfast show

      By coffeeandgin · Posted

      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.
