Loose Women

London EyeYesterday I had a fantastic and gob smacking awesome time with my media group in London. It took along time to get to South Bank, London from Oxford though. On the coach journey in the way in, James pissed off a white van man by taking a photo of him without turning the flash off, but as the traffic hardly moves fast in London.. He got out and started banging the coach window. It felt like something out of The Inbetweeners. I found it funny for some reason.

Once we arrived to the South Bank, we had a hour to spare which mainly was spent taking photos and drinking soft drinks at the bar. It was the first place I found which serves eggy bread. I was so tempted to order it but I didn’t have anytime to spare. I love to have a life style that involved going out to these places regularly.

When we arrived at the studios, there was guys with headphones with a mic. I had laugh with them when a posh sliver car nearly ran me over. Once we checked in, it was a case on waiting outside in a line right against the studio building. After half an hour outside, we got in. I didn’t think that we would walk though different sets but we did where one of them had the car from ‘Back from the Future’.

GaffitiBehind the Loose Women set had loads of duck tape to repair it as got wore out after the much usage it gets. I didn’t know how much lights that are involved for shows. It makes the set looks really different without the lights on. It was really good show and I really enjoyed doing the clapping etc. During one of the breaks when they do Q&As, somebody wanted to steal a mug. So when the show finished, a runner quickly carried the mugs away in a basket. BTW, they don’t drink tea or coffee, they drink bottle water.

The rest of the day was good aswell. Walked right next to the London Eye to get a McDonalds. The express line was really fast aswell. I was surprised how far down you have to walk to get to the toilets though. The rest of the day was mainly buying fast food. lol

Anyway, I need to do gym.

Lazy

At the start of the two weeks off college I thought that I would be able to get all outstanding work finished by the first couple of days and the rest of the week doing what I want. It turned out that I did nothing work wize and just lazed about the whole time off. I just didn’t have the motivation and was so stressed when I finished the term. I feel alive again and I’m sure I get back to speed with the work over the weekend.

My final major project idea has already changed. I was going to do a radio doc on Creative Commons music but now I hope to one on bowel transplants and to interview the second person in Oxfordshire to have a bowel transplant. Exciting stuff..

Not receiving the love tonight

Took near the Abby

Took near the Abby

I don’t like valentines mainly for two reasons. One reason is that I am single and its always been that way for me though I suppose I’m in the early stages with the whole relationships thing. It rubs in your face that you won’t be kissing anybody tonight. The second I just think it a fake day made up as a excuse to go out and I don’t see why you need one. You can have a romantic time at any time of the year and I don’t see why you should be forced into it by the shops on a certain day. But I suppose I’m not that positive because I don’t have a reason myself to be about it.

I went to see Keane last night at The O2 which is in London for the international readers out there. They were fantastic and I had a really enjoyable night out with my family all together for a change. We was intending on getting there by train however we wasn’t sure when the last train was, so we took the Oxford Expresss which a coach that took us to Victoria station. From there we caught various Tube trains to get arrive there. The rest of time there we be posted in a separate post sometime later on when i’m more awake.

This week I will be over at Stoke-on-Trent from tomorrow evening which will be a mini holiday for me. I will be on the student radio, eating out, and doing all kinds of exciting stuff whilst I’m up there. I am taking my laptop with me however the wifi in the house I’m staying at is quite dodgy.

Anyway I need to get my sleep as tomorrow a long long day. :P

Fox FM logo looks more like a fizzy drink

Fox FM 4x4Something have been annoying me.. Seeing this blinking Fox FM land Rover stalking me everywhere I go. Last week on the way of doing some drying with my mom at the laundry, the car was outside what used to be Wiggys World. (I loved the go karts that was in there) And today when I was at Tesco, the blinking thing is outside the place. I think the whole idea of the car is to peskter young kids to start listening to the station so they grow up listening to this so called local station.

In the photo I took you can’t really see it but they have attached these stupid flags to the car which look really out of place on it and odd. i like seeing things neat and this just plainly annoys me..

Old Fox FMThe reason I say so call local station is because apart from the news and the breakfast slot on it, nearly everything else is sourced from its parent network which goes to all of the other so called local stations. The logo is just a template which looks more like the style of what the new Pepsi design looks like than a radio station. I prefer this one, I loved that fox and I was so miffed what they got rid of the poor thing. I blame them fox hunters.

I won’t be too upset when the station gets re-branded to a even more generic ‘Heart Oxford’ as all its proper identity got stripped ages ago which is sad. Saying that I am not a proper expert of Fox FM as my hate of it content has meant that i heavn’t really listened to it much unless its been on in a mates car. I rather opt to KUBE radio as I can keep up to date all stuff Keele, and when on the move Jack FM, sometimes Oxford 107.9 but mostly national BBC Radio 1.
