Every morning the KLFM Breakfast Show runs a competition called Songanory, in which they tell the storyline of a song and listeners have to guess which song it is.....

Well, this morning the storyline was blatantly obvious, kid walks into a chemist trying to buy condoms.....I confidently texted my guess "Sell Me Some Johnnies You Old Bag" by The Lighthouse Family (not one of their better known songs admittedly, but this was 1999 and everyone had cottoned on that they were bland and rubbish by then) and KLFM wouldn't read out my correct answer! Instead they said the winner was someone who answered "House Of Fun" by some bunch of unknowns called Madness. Grrrr, I was robbed!

And that's the second time in a week that it's happened. Scandalous.

Last week the story was of a young man stuck in a cold, damp flat, wishing he was elsewhere, listening to police sirens and a band practicing in a nearby yard......obviously this was "Ernie (And He Drove The Fastest Milk Cart In The West)" by Benny Hill. Once again, texted in, the presenters announced the correct answer was "That's Entertainment" by somebody called The Jam. The Jam! Who would get anywhere with a ridiculous name like that! Anyone ever heard of this "The Jam"?

So. I will continue to try to beat presenters, surely one day they will actually get a song right!? Maybe not.....

Radio 1 Breakfast Show Duped!

Chris Moyles is having a day off after his Red Nose frolics last week, so Fearne Cotton and Reggie Yates are standing in. They've been getting listeners to phone in if they want the day off (like Moyles), then phoning their bosses to ask them to give them a free day off. With me so far? Well the first two attempts failed due to resolute bosses, the third try seemed to be going well. The "worker" was a lady called Sue who wanted a day off from her Peterborough firm. Fearne and reggie called her "boss" (also called Sue). Worker Sue's phone rang in the background......Boss Sue said "hello".....both Sues sounded exactly the same........Boss Sue did indeed give Worker Sue the day off, before the Radio 1 team realised it was the same person. Sue said "I gotcha" and put the phone down. It was radio gold....
