World's Most Offended

Perhaps I should have started my first post of 2010 full of 'happy new years', good intentions and plenty of 'brrr, isn't it colds'. But having received an anonymous 'letter' from one of dear readers, I just had to respond to it. Talk about missing

Um......

Well, ok, it's been a while since I posted anything on this blog. Actually, it's been about eight months since I last posted something on this blog. And all the usual excuses are there - busy, busy, busy. Life at Advertiser HQ has changed quite considerably

Out of Leftfield

Well I’ve now recorded three Mainstream and Leftfield shows for Future Radio. The third one is due to go out in the early hours of next Tuesday.   I’ve really enjoyed it, and now I’m a little bit gutted that Simon Mainstream will soon be resuming

Resolutions and radio

Happy new year! 2009 is almost a week old, and so far I've managed to achieve very little. The new year's resolutions are clearly going well… A quiet new year was spent proudly listening to hubby's radio show on Future Radio, which finished with Orbital's

Top fives of 2008

This may well be my last post of the year. And while 2008 will go down as one of the worst in living memory for a variety of reasons, there is still much I need to remember to celebrate. So with that in mind, here's a bunch of random lists and highlights

Video (Didn't) Kill The Radio Star

Long, long, ago, back in the mists of time - about 10 years ago - to be precise, I briefly dabbled with the idea of going into radio.   During my first year of university, I had to spend one semester studying print journalism, which I loved, and

Err....

Apologies for the slackness of my ramblings of late. I attribute my slovenness to the miserable weather, not having much to talk about, and being rather busy in that dull pre-Christmas way. I'm hoping to resume normal service once all the festive features

Coogan's run in Norwich

Booed, heckled and audiences walking out…   It was with a small amount of trepidation that I sat down to watch Steve Coogan’s long-awaited return to the live stage at Norwich Theatre Royal last night. Reviews of the tour so far had been luke warm

Right on the Munnery

When a show starts with a medley about the humble potato, and ends with the National Anthem, it’s safe to say you’ve enjoyed a pretty weird show.   But then Elizabeth and Raleigh: Late But Live is far from your average comedy.   The two

A fuss about nothing. Sorta.

So it’s happened then. I have now “celebrated” the dreaded milestone and officially become old. At least in my book.   Having dreaded turning 30 (see, I can say it now - 30!) for quite some time (since I was about 27), I found that the day passed

Turning hurty

This is quite difficult for me to type.   In one week, I will be ……   …In one week I will become….   No, that’s no good. This time next week I will be leaving……   OK, take a deep breath….   In one week, I will turn

Random happenings and musings so far this week

1)       I woke my husband up in the middle of the night shouting for help because I was stuck in a cave. Well, obviously I wasn’t. I just thought I was.   2)       How did we tell each

From Showaddywaddy to Sibelius

From one musical extreme to the other…   I love all kinds of music…except hip hop and R ‘n’ B. In fact, I like such a wide and diverse array of music that when people ask me what sort of music I’m “into”, I find it quite difficult to give a definitive

This week, I ha’ been mostly listening to Mozart

It’s been a while since I got hooked on a reality show. Normally, I just happen to catch the odd moments of your Big Brothers and your X Factors and thank my lucky stars that a) I can quickly switch it off and b) I don’t know any of those people.
