Oh dear me. The goddamn awful thing that is Westlife have done a cover of the uncoolest song ever, Barry Manilow's Mandy.
Now I love this song, and I'm sure all Angel fans do too.... this leads to the horrible situation where I like a Westlife song. Stone me to death now!

Well the weekend was fandabbydozzy!!!
Well the weekend was fandabbydozzy!!!
Went down to Lboro on friday night and went out for a 'coupla' drinks leading to very little sleep and a very tired me for the Masterclass the next morning. However the masterclass was fantastic with really interesting speakers.
Nomination night was the biggy though and I appear to have transformed my slight cough into a killer bug through sleeping on a floor & getting absolutely wasted. I couldn't even drive back to Warwick until about 6pm last night I felt that bad!
The big news is that RaW has been nominated for SIX Awards. Yeah man.
Best Male - Chris Carter
Best Specialist Show - Chris Carter
Best Specialist Show - Charles Gill
Best Production Innovation - David Shipp
Best Speech Based Non Factual - David Shipp
And the biggie Best Station ! I'm so so happy especially about Best Station as that was my baby!
Whoohoo

Wow I’m being ridiculous rubbish
Wow I'm being ridiculous rubbish at updating this blog but I'm just SO SO busy. Yeah boring excuse I hear you cry, but really!!
Here's whats being going on:
1) Student Radio Association stuff!
Heidi & myself have been working every single minute of the day to try and make the student radio awards go to plan. Nomination parties take place this Saturday. I'm off to the one in Loughborough with RaW, and shall be joined their by demon, urn, lcr, lush & fly hopefully! Should be good and I'm meeting Uzma on Sunday for lunch so yay!
The awards themselves take place in November but nominations are the first big thing and there will no doubt be tears & smiles on Saturday night!
2) RaaaaaW
My 'beloved' radio station has been having its usual influx of new members. We were also on FM for 2 weeks which is very exciting but also very expensive! Grrh. We had our welcome meeting tonight and had some really good people sign up for things which is *ace*.
3) DJing ... (like a bitch)
UWSU have kindly got no other ents DJs this year except for yours truely. Thus I have been rotared with people of varying ability over the past coupla weeks, including Ed, Rik and Robbie G. And when I say rotared I mean every single event going. Since the start of term I've done :- 3 x Top B, 2 x Score, 2 x Welcome Party, 1 x Baby B, 1 x Freshers Ball, 1 x School Days . I think thats it! But its a hell of a lot :( New DJs should be appearing soon though so should be sorted!
4) That thing called a degree!
My courses all seem good just need to spend a bit more time on them. I particularly need to do my project specification which is in this Friday! Aaaargh.

…. And the Cooler Diner
....
And the Cooler Diner has finally been done over and turned into a very funky & surprisingly good fish and chip stylee take away called .. wait for it Battered!
Workwise I'm the only cheesy DJ left which is prooving a bit of a stress as I'm doing every single shift with people who have never DJed before. Fortunatly I've managed to get Ed from TSG onto the Ents rota now to do all the big shifts with me... School Daze, Top B etc, so that should improve things a bit.
Sunday Welcome & First Top B went down a treat. This years newbies seem very much into their rock/indie, so Crash on Friday should be very well attended. Bit annoyed I'm doing Score tonight as all my flat is going to Ikon :'( Cat's back for the freshers ball 2moro though (bootleg beatles yay!) so that should be a laugh.
Sports Fed was yesterday, and because when I started at Uni I only thought I'd be here for 3 years, I had to buy an extra years Sports Fed membership for £15. Grrh. And I never used it in the last 3 years. However this year I have joined Squash (I always wanted to learn), Ladies Cricket (recommended by cat), Mixed Hockey & Mixed Netball. I think the last 2 are mainly going to be for a laugh and a drinking circle really. Its really weird being in 4th year as most people you know have left, so trying to make new mates!!
And finally lecture wise - yes those other things you have to do at uni! My timetable is ridiculous - 12 hours in term 1, fine, ZERO in term 2 & 3. Oh well at least I'll do fab on my project hopefully!
TTFN!
