One of the best things about the radio course and University overall is that everyday is different. Especially compared to how I was last year.
Whenever I head back to the flat I feel as if I can lay back, then I immediately get asked to be elsewhere.
Tonight happened to be a visit to the Harrow campus gym where I managed to get quite a lot of audio of the caporeira class and an interview with the instructor. It doesn't sound too bad listening back to it although it could have easily gone balls up.
This was partly because I hadn't charged my batteries and we were thrown out of the main hall itself resulting in having to record the interview in the corridor plugging my Marantz into the one normally reserved for the drinks machine.
To make things worse, the plug for my battery charger has only two prongs and I'm not going to risk plugging it in after a dreadful experience I had in New York four years ago when I plugged my adapter into a socket with three holes when the plug only had two pins.
However I've managed to get some good audio overall and I'm hoping there's more to come.
On returning I watched tonight's extended edition of "Celebrity" where the two new arrivals Timmy Mallett and David Van Day rather stupidly fell for an obvious looking man trap resulting in them being trapped in cages for the night, with the rest of the camp refusing to give up their luxuries as a ransom to let them out.
Timmy Mallett has come across rather well so far, but David Van Day no stranger to reality television is still obnoxious as ever and really bitter.
Back in 2003 David, and Therese Bazaar appeared as Dollar in ITV1's "Reborn In The USA" where they were up against has-been bands and performers competing to relaunch their career in America. They got into a bit of a spat with fellow contestant Sonia which resulted in them being the first to be eliminated. The inevitable winner was Tony Hadley.
Returning to the jungle I demand those watching NOT to vote for Nicola to win, after seeing her refuse to give up her mascara as part of the ransom.
She really had it in for David on entering the main camp and I can see him nominated for a few trials pretty soon.
Robert Kilroy Silk was chosen for both of the trials in tonight's show including the live one involving the Jungle Gym. He managed to do really well in both of them proving that he's a still a good sport, whilst at the same time getting what many members of the public feel he deserves.
I'm not sure about everyone else giving him the nickname "Silksy" but I very much doubt it will stick with him after leaving the jungle.
What I found rather irritating was Ant and Dec telling everyone during the live trial not to swear despite the fact the show was being broadcast on a delay so anything they did say got bleeped.
A procedure used by the show since series 3 when John Lydon called the viewers "fucking c**ts" live on air after finding out that they hadn't voted him out.
I've never actually seen that outburst oddly enough.
Immediately after I watched this week's 8 Out Of 10 Cats where the guests included Claudia Winkleman and David Mitchell. With Claudia on the panel they obviously spoke out John Seargant leaving SCD resulting in a hilarious joke from David Mitchell about what he would do if he were to turn the tables on judge Len Goodman.
Team captain Jason Manford also came up with a brilliant line in the final round about London buses saying that "you wait for one... and then you get stabbed".
That could end up as one of the reasons against staying in London after University although there are very few of them.
