Hmmm lovely.

Any new features planned for after the holiday, and do you think there'll be a new style of jingles after christmas (ha ha, not far off!)?

[Chongster]

Do you have anything nice planned for your 2 weeks off? Planning on visiting good old Cymru?

So Sorry Chris for being a Pain!
I'll do better to be a little bit more pleasent!

Ok then I'll be more serious then!

Aled I have just recently became a DJ in my City's Hospital.

What I do is:
* Deal With Requests off of Pacients.
* Go Around the Hospital Wards to make sure the pacients have
earphones that work correctly.
* Make doubley sure all of the Audio (I.E. Music, Interview Clips
Etc.) has absolutly no swering or anything like that in it.
* Edit the Swering bits out, if its somebody talking then I would cut the
bad bits out to make it a little more P.C. If it's the CD with the swears
in it I would then Re-Record the Music on a seprerate Disk (for our sole
use only) and put censor bleeps over the bits that could caus offence!
* Talk On a Mic.
* Play Music.
* Wright The Tracks I had played on a Listings Sheet.
* Read the News and Sport, (Sometimes)
* Try and make the show I am doing as Interesting as possible so
no-body will be too bord and turn-off to go to sleep.

What Advice do you have for somebody who is doing all of those duties and who has just gotten into the Radio Industry?

Hi FunnyDave

To be honest the advice Rachel sent you is the best advice I could give. You're on the best route to getting good experience and as she said it may do you some good to look at the OneLife pages http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/onemusic/workr1/ some of colleagues have written advice there.

Thanks Very Much Aled!

Can I just apologise for before and I'll be a little more adult-like in future!

Thanks again Mate!

You contribute so little to this forum (take a look at your recent posts) - and despite a warning continued to be as annoying as ever.

Rejoice. "tombugler" has been banned.

Now, back on topic ... ASK ALED.

Aled, random story:
The kids at my school saw my Say No to Wogan badge and t-shirt and decided to shout it out of a taxi window every evening, until last night the police pulled them over, and now they could face going to court.

Sadly I laughed at that... Wogan fights back.

Are we able to pass this by betti for confirmation if you can face court for shouting out of a taxi ?

[MC]

I think we should. We need to fight for the right to say no to Wogan.. or something.

Betti?

[Adam]

Police in Norfolk have nothing better to do.

[Jono]

I know. That's what the driver of our bus said, because we all had to be warned. Ironic because the windows aren't ones that open on our bus... But still.
