They're either all the same, or the ones which are different are just MORE annoying. It's amazing how a majority of the voice actors on them are so terrible, with cringey voices. Commercial radio adverts annoy me a lot.

If its one thing that annoys me, it repetition.

Compare this tracklist to the average day on Radio 1 :D http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00njjyl#segments


I know, 6Music is far superior, however the one positive about it having a lower amount of listeners is that the censorship is virtually non existant compared to Radio 1 (Jon Holmes for example, if he said some of the "double entandres" that he says on 6Music on Radio 1 instead he wouldn't have lasted 5 months on the station, let alone five years.)


Haha tell me about it! George Lamb played a clip on his show today of when they had some Norwegian guy on who was translating things for them. He translated one thing which ended up as 'c*ntz' or spelling thereabout.

When it actually happened, he did a quick apology and carried on with the show. Now he plays the clip with no apologies or regrets! Brilliant :D

Yeah they seem to get away with a lot more on there, on one of the Jon Holmes shows one of the team said that the past tense of a Twit was a Twat, which if it had happend on Radio 1 there would have been a big Daily Heil campaign to get him taken off air however being 6Music no one complained. Used to happen on XFM as well when Ricky Gervais used to be on & shit or bollocks used to get said by mistake several times.

FM 2010 is out, and the network game i started with my friend last night is already threatening to bring back my stupid sleeping pattern of getting in bed at 1.30am

edit. over the last 5 months i've managed to force myself out of a 3 year pattern of sleeping at stupid times in the morning, and got into being in bed before 12, and waking up at 8. i really need to keep it...but FM is so good...

Somebody broke something that belonged to me and has replaced it - as my birthday present. Nice.

Well, reasonably - I have lovely new perfume so someone loves me. Either that or they want to cover up what I normally smell like.

Being groomed by a recruitment consultant for a position as a copywriter with an online games marketing company. If i am offered the job...should i shelve my masters' plans - or take the exposure to the workplace?

At the moment i think they're going to offer less than 20k - which wouldn't convince me to abandon the masters...but i don't know.

Go with the Golf mate, the prize money for The Masters is quite significant I believe, more than £20k anyway.....

What kind of job would you want in a year's time and what would the employer be looking for :- experience or qualifications. How about taking on some freelancing during your masters.

i would inevitably be given a few opportunities for placements throughout the degree.

ideally i'd want to be involved in commercial copywriting, working in conjunction with a graphics designer to create adverts for an agency. don't want a freelance future.

i don't know about the qualifications vs. experience debate...that's why the decision so tough :(
