This Sunday's Surgery will be all about .......... alcohol !!

Tune in this Sunday at 10 p.m. to find out more!!

Off-air Surgery advice line: 0800 110 100 : available 24/7 (all calls confidential).

Incidentally:0800 numbers normally cost you when you're using a mobile, however Radio 2 came up with the following Site on Friday, which may be useful for some of you: www.0800buster.co.uk

Basically, you dial 01237 20 0800, then enter the 0800/0808 number then press # to begin the call!! There are terms though:

"Disclaimer * “Free” assumes you receive inclusive minutes to UK landlines as part of your mobile phone contract. 0800Buster access numbers should be included in these free minutes, and should otherwise be charged at your provider’s normal UK landline rate. 0800Buster.co.uk accepts no liability for any costs incurred from using our service."

So wrong!

It isn't .... it's genius. Right, I'll get a little bottle of wine from TESCO this afternoon, and join in tomorrow night.

If you receive any bizarre texts, Aled, it's because of TESCO wine!!

ps: It's kind of ironic that the Surgery will probably be all anti-alcohol, and we'll all be "smashed" lol

On a less funny note, a 14 year old girl has just wound up in our local harbour last night - in the water - an alcohol related incident. Thankfully, she's OK and is recovering in hospital.

Aled, btw, has posted this from twitter: "Listener research time! For surgery please reply with ur answer to this: how many days a week do you have an alcoholic drink & how old r u?"

Right, so: Viv, 41 years old - It varies:

Some weeks = 0 alcohol.

Other weeks = 1 day = approximately 4 units maximum.

we should do it like this, each time Aled mentions a certain drink we have to drink it :drunk: , a bit like this below

<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHnBppccI0o&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHnBppccI0o&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

& it will all be R1's fault :hahaha:

I'm twenty and I only drink occasionally. By which I mean I'll go to the pub probably once every three months. I will feel pressured to do so on say New Year's Eve or a birthday party but I don't mind that, if I'm in a pub it generally means I will go all the way. "Just one..." doesn't seem to be in my vocabulary.

But I guess I only drink every so often it doesn't matter. Plus when I do drink it can have some negative effects on my stomach so I do try to avoid it.

See!! That line in your post "I feel pressured to do so".... that's the annoying thing where people feel pressured into alcohol just to please others or be sociable.

You're in a pub. I don't think I've ever seen anyone buy anything other than an alcoholic drink where I live.

The nearest socialable pub (which isn't for oldies) is in a town notorious for booze though. There's a real problem with binge drinking which is amazing for Norfolk because as far as everything else goes - drugs, violence and so on - we're pretty quiet.

You also have Prince of Wales Road in Norwich which to me is a no go area in Norwich during the evening. You've got people bottling people, stabbing and all sorts which I do not doubt is due to the number of pubs and clubs. The rest of Norwich I would feel reasonably safe walking around at night. Just not there - I would get a bus, it's just not worth it.

Although Jono is saying he does feel the pressure to drink on certain occasions - I think it is very admirable to hear a 20 year old guy saying that he doesn't always follow the crowd and go out and get smashed every weekend. So many people do just to 'fit in'.

Before I met my ex I was in the habit of thinking "these people were my school friends, I don't know them that well but they get drunk and so I'll get drunk too to fit in with them". I went to the pub when I could but luckily I work most Friday and Saturday nights and Wednesday nights which are the hot spot nights. It got to the point where I was like "why am I doing this? I don't want a life where I just socialise by getting drunk". It was just a darn expensive way to have a social life and seemed silly, particularly as people would only know a drunk Jono and not the real person I am in the day.

Also I'm supposedly a hilarious drunk and I think I'd just be a twat if I did that every week, I would probably get punched.

I completely agree, it is a very expensive way to socialise. I got to the point where I was getting so annoyed with myself for spending so much money on a night out that I could barely even remember the next day. What is the pint in that? Now I'd much spend that money on going out for a nice meal with friends - yeah we will often have wine with the meal but it's more on a level where we enjoy the taste of the wine with the food rather than drinking it solely to get drunk. Also now it's not a big deal if someone we're out with doesn't drink alcohol.

What a great typo!

Right, well I started my TESCO wine at around 8 p.m., which has unfortunately resulted in me being slightly bonkers by the time the Surgery came on. I have missed what next week's topic will be, as I fell asleep. This has annoyed me now.

BTW, did I hear someone who put vodka in their eye...?

      Greg's time on breakfast

      By AndyK77 · Posted

      It's amazing how stable that slot has been over the past 20 years - 3 presenters only. By comparison, the previous 20 years seen 8 or 10 presenters depending how you measure it.  (Whether you treat Kevin and Zoe as separate to Zoe and whether you count Mark Goodier's 4 months on Breakfast as more than just cover).

      Greg's time on breakfast

      By onlyME · Posted

      On July 8th Greg will surpass Grimmy's tenure on Radio 1 breakfast (5 years, 319 days) as the second-longest breakfast show presenter. He has already passed Tony Blackburn and Sim Mayo. I'm not sure if he will make Moyles' record of 8 years, 253 days, but he certainly still seems fresh and full of ideas!

      Studio usage for new schedule

      By Lily Georgia · Posted

      I guess we'll have to wait and see when the new schedule kicks in, although I could see Scott staying where he is.  Assuming that's the case and there are no other moves, there would be several available studios for Matt & Mollie - 82C or 82E of the 'old' studios, and 82M or 82N of the new ones.

      The BBC commissioning brief mentions it is a 'mid morning show' for Radio 1 Dance https://www.bbc.co.uk/commissioning/radio/documents/comm_brief_r1_dance_morning_show.pdf

      Nothing to apologise about, I was just intrigued on how DS and UM react

      I would be pretty confident that if they keep avoiding using James Cusack on that slot over the next few weeks, then it will probably be him that gets the show permanently!

      That’s two names who probably won’t be doing that slot permanently then.

      I stand guilty as charged as the DS poster.... It was I Okay, so yes Connor has good energy and does the show well, I take it back, however, my last experience of him he spent every other link saying "It's Connor Coates in for the ledge that is Charlie Hedges" and then he started saying "Clem Douglas" - again after critisising that I see she is styled as that sometimes The point I was trying to make was, yes we know it's Charlies show, we know she is a ledge, and we know she is not here today, no need to keep reminding us Regards R1 dance, I suspect Arielle is pointed at the drivetime slot to go against Mistajam unless we know it is breakfast that will be live ? Apologies to Connor and anyone offended by my comments, was just going on my past experience of Mr Coates, who seems to be a very competnt presenter

      Studio usage for new schedule

      By Lee E · Posted

      I know we have discussed this before, but can someone shed some light hoping @Lily Georgia can help Since the Wogan House closure, and 1-330 from Manchester, studio 82A (Mills) has been used by Scott's R2 show, in fact i note that him and Grandad Nelson are from there now days The question I have is with 1-330 coming from London again soon, who is getting a new studio? will Scott move to one of the newer ones down the corridor or will he remain in 82A and M&M get a new studio They cannot use 82D as that is used for drive, and currenlty 82A is in use by Scott from 2-4pm In the old days it used to be 82A for Greg, Scott, Annie and 82D Adele, RMC, Drive, Jack I note that Jack is in a brand new studio so maybe M&M will come from that one as well, maybe the same one as Vine uses?

      Producer Amy moving to Radio 1 Breakfast

      By coffeeandgin · Posted

      Very pleased for producer Amy - it's no coincidence many of the best shows in recent years have had her working on them. You can tell her & Helena are a great production duo and that the whole Matt & Mollie team are a really close-knit unit in general. Some lovely speeches by both Matt & Mollie too to end the show on Sunday.
