Random Rants - Friday 26th March

9.48 - simply because Ben Folds is a genius!


8.13 - Finally watched "Being John Malkovitch" last night. Utterly brilliant!

8.10 - Best line from the Heart Breakfast Friday song - "Jordan is writing a new book her publisher said. That means it will be autobiography 3, she's written more books than she's read!"

8.00 - This is briliant! http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=1229243

7.46 - We're talking on the show about the fact that a new survey has revealed that men are happy to admit that they cry quite often, at the cinema, even as guests at weddings. Jez can't remember the last time he cried. For me it was after seeing Hayley (my best friend and ex) after the operation she had recently. I always cry at films. Always. It's embarrassing!
Roo cries at the Dog Homes adverts on the telly. Oh dear!

7.21 - I'm following someone who is keeping track of their weight loss and he's publishing today that he's put on 500g. I was about to ask if there was any point but I make that about a pound? It's not good to be that precise on a daily basis is it? Surely that only serves to discourage you? I'm probably wrong.

6.57 - It appears that Christian O'Connell is doing a competition whereby the first 100 vans to the studio get free DAB radios. Brilliant if you're a van driving Absolute listener in Glasgow! (Twitter)

Read some “positive thinking” Blinkist thing last night before bed in the hope that this morning I’d be a tsunami of energy. I wasn’t but I did take from it a couple of ideas about surrounding myself with joyful sights and sounds and so I listened to The Fall on my drive in. My immediate boss (1) isn’t around and so I took the positive placebo and got stuck into my ever growing work list. I’ve been playing around with a desire to relive the 90’s and blog about it trying to convince people, the wider universe, that the 80’s were shite and the 90’s is where it’s at. I’ve had a radio idea fermenting, now thinking about blogging to go hand in hand with it. With that in mind I went on to the official charts website and started to listen to every album that charted in the 90’s in order. Three weeks in, pleasantly surprised by Loop and Jungle Brothers. More thoughts formulated after tea and a bit of work. I will expand once I’ve properly got a plan. One of my best friends from uni is coming d...

First World Problems Of A Very Lucky Boy

 I was a very lucky boy. When it came to leaving school I didn't just go wide eyed into the big bad world to see where it took me. I knew. Since being at least 8 years old I wanted to be a radio presenter. I loved listening to Manchester's Piccadilly Radio. I listened all day and all night. Timmy Mallett was my first favourite and when a lad called Mark Lupton from 2 years above me at St. Dunstan's won the top 10 singles on his show I was insanely jealous! My teenage insomnia was never a problem because it meant I could listen to ALL of the Late Night Funster Show, all the way through to 2am. I had a notebook full of ideas for features and would walk around Moston with my Walkman filling the gaps between tracks on whatever album I was wearing out with (eventually) perfectly timed links. In 1991, aged 15, I started my own weekly show on Northern Air Hospital Radio and from that moment I was regularly broadcasting, joining the hospital radio station in my uni town, the univer...
