Hiss. You got there first!!

What's an "RT"??

Hopefully, this Surgery will be better than last night's, which was, for the first part - boring.

For the second part, very surface and lacking in depth.

How good a show would the Surgery have been had STRESS been the topic of the night, and proper ways of dealing with it!! Instead, you get a RIDICULOUS debate question:

"Do you have the right to be stressed?" This is just assinine. Of course people have the RIGHT to be stressed, just as much in this country as any other.

Stress, in the right quantity, can be a good thing, because it motivates us to get things done.

I think it's where people continually worry all day that stress becomes a problem.

Awful Surgery last night. Awful. 0/10.

Yeah, that's what it will be : Radio Times!!

I know what you mean, KTWWH. I had an impression of stress with the presenters last night. From texts not being read out properly, to the presenters seeming to snap at one another, it was quite annoying.

Also, I know the Show wasn't a proper surgery advice show last night, but the girl who 'phoned in with the £4,000 worth of debt was practically dismissed.

Unprofessional show. I was actually ashamed to be a listener last night.

Aled's bullying stuff (the TV show) will be going into all schools apparently... well done!! I think the Government may have decided this, or something like that. Heard this early this morning.

I think it's an excellent idea. The more it gets put out there, the more people they will help!!

The bullying stuff is now on iPlayer. I can't get the link to copy across to this Site though. Check out Aled's twitter for the information: www.twitter.com/ahj

I think you would find someone just getting out of bed in the morning patronising. :hahaha: Try the "ignore" option, then you won't have to read anything else!!

Mind you... then you'd have less to be upset about.

You must follow me on twitter: you'd be thrilled by the level of intelligence and fascinating tweets.

Of course not - I've just regularly found you patronising to others since reading your posts. By ignoring you, I would be being particularly narrow minded.

Mind you... then you'd have less to be upset about.

I'm not overly saddened by you being generally annoying.

I doubt it.

    • Someone in fact posted about it on digital spy and its still on his instagram. James put up a story his dad was in hospital this weekend but it sounds like it's gone ok. That explains that
    • Nikita Kanda is covering the weekend mid afternoon slot a few times over the next few weeks, as is Ore.
    • No sign of James Cusack at Big Weekend. Ore Olukoga and Nikita Kanda were there. Will they be part of the weekend line-up over summer? Even Joel Mitchell and Tinea Taylor made it. 
    • I don't know about that but somebody's messed up with the dates on the lanyards this year, they're all the wrong date!
    • Is big weekend the only place to get long boi merch? It's sold out! I'd love to have got my hands on some. 
    • Considering the price of some festival event for a small portions can be pricey but it isn’t too bad that could get it with chips and other roast dinner bits. I think when you are billed as a touring high profile DJ there’s always a risk of playing out familiar tracks from other artists in the mix. Especially on a line-up with Chase and Status and Rudimental who will be playing pretty much all tracks written, produced and released as their DJing names.   
    • Matt & Mollie I believe (and on the radio occassional studio bits from Jack Saunders, Sam & Danni and Maia Beth).
    • Obvs - Scott 2-4 and Trevor Nelson are also in 82A
    • Who presented Party Anthems on stage?
    • Lots of adverts for Matt and Mollie around the place, alongside the rest of the weekday lineup, but no mention of Dean and/or Vicky. Although I notice those two are doing the photobooth today, as is Danny Beard…
    • Yesterday was excellent pretty much all day. You can tell a lot of work has gone into the festival and the set up was really good. The ground is fine for anyone worried, I wore old trainers and they’re still fine today.    Merchandise is available for some high prices. If you’re going for Longboi merch get it early as they sold out within the first couple of hours.    The photo booth is also good and we met Vick, Katie and Jamie for a few seconds and got a photo. If you’re doing this get there 15-20 minutes before the advertised time as they’re only 30 minute slots. It’s right next to the main stage so you can see everything going on there from the queue anyway. Most of the acts we saw were excellent. Becky Hill and Ella Henderson were brilliant live. Rudimental and Chase and Status were absolutely incredible. Nathan Dawe wasn’t great, played 3 of his own songs then dodgy remixes of Marvin Gaye, Dolly Parton etc. Went to Dimension halfway through which was must better. Saw 15-20 minutes of Eric Prydz which wasn’t really my thing but his staging was excellent.  The DJ sets in between everything were pretty good, especially Matt and Mollie and Charlie Hedges. Sam and Danni were a welcome change as they played indie anthems for a while although I think they may have just been the pre recorded anthems they usually play on weekends (still better than Nathan Dawe). Food was good, but pricey - £15 for my main meal of roast pork, stuffing, chips and Yorkshire pudding. I was surprised they were selling multipacks of Madri and bottles of wine, especially the latter as people were walking around swigging from glass bottles in the middle of the crowd then dumping them on the floor… the rubbish was a mess at the end of the night. Probably one of the best live music events I’ve ever been to, a real credit to the station. 
    • While there were some technical issues (tracks temporarily cutting out, mics not working at first for radio listeners, 'studio team' sometimes jumping in at quite random intervals) Party Anthems on stage seemed to work well and I sort of wonder why they haven't done it before. I guess it depends on when gates open but if gates open around 1/2pm then no excuse not to do it- it's a DJ set which they have loads of across the weekend and acts as a warm-up so the crowd are hot for the first main act.
    • They mentioned on air that it's before Joel Corry's set.
    • When is the set for Greg and Tom? I’m having trouble getting on to Insta and Google is not helping.
