Diet Cherry Coke will be on shelves from 1st February, which is apparently very nice and has been in America for a good 20 years.

What's your favourite form of fizzy?

I love Dr.Pepper, but it after too many, it tastes weird. i like coke, and cherry coke too. but now, its annoyin because my school has decided to get rid of the old drinks (Dr.P, coke, Lilt, Fanta, etc) and replace them with new "healthy" drinks (ie - Dr.P Z, fanta Z, lilt Z, etc) which all taste mingin - so now, i just get hot chocolate most of th time. sumtimes i get a lilt though.

The most heroic act is the one that no-one knows about.

I like Mountain Dew. It used to be sold in England until about 1996, but it's still available in America, and some European countries, too. Luckily, I live in Harrogate, and RAF Menwith Hill, the spy base, is operated by Americans, and cos I know someone who works there, he gets me Mountain Dew and other goodies not available in England.

I also like Mr. Pibb (now Pibb Extra), another American drink, very similar to Dr. Pepper, Cherry Coke, Cherry Tango, Diet Pepsi, Dandelion & Burdock... actually, I like all pops, but Pepsi is better than Coke, just as Diet pepsi is better than diet coke.

It is too run by Americans. Just that British also work there.

I think he is a spy. :) Those golf balls monitor all radio and telephone communications - don't they?

Menwith Hill: Founded in the 1950s to monitor High Frequency radio communications, it has been operated since 1966 by the US National Security Agency (NSA), and has grown to become the world's largest spy base outside the US. Nominally a British Royal Air Force facility, only physical security and UK liaison functions are carried out by MOD personnel, the vast majority of the staff being British GCHQ and American NSA employees as well as U.S. military personnel. The base is known as the NSA field station F83.

I dont find that to be honest,all my dads work colleuges are lovley.I even go to school with quite a few of them inc americans.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying there's anything wrong with Americans, or that Americans are at the base or that they shouldn't "fit in" or anything My son's American so I really have no problem with that.#

I don't even care about what they do there. But lets face it, it's not exactly a secret that the US use it for monitoring communications. :)

      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
