10 August 2006: Laura’s weather feet, Madonna and airport chaos

 

Good actual afternoon. It’s Thursday which means tomorrow is only bley Friday…

We joined Scott today on the quietest day ever, as everyone was stranded at airports across the country. Their mobile phone and blackberries were taken off them. Nobody knows each others number, so they can’t ring each other, and so it was quiet for Scott. Chappers was left to entertain those in the delays.

Weather maps of the future… and there’ll be rain coming from the north

Yesterday there was ground breaking news that Laura’s feet could predict the weather. They said it’d be rainy in the morning, and dry in the afternoon. But Martin the weather guy said in London it’d be dry in the morning and rainy in the afternoon. And considering it was miserable by the time of the show, it looks like Martin was right. Laura argued she hadn’t got it wrong, as most of London seemed to be claiming the weather was just how Laura predicted. Some of those places included Inverness, Cheshire, Oxfordshire, and Burnley.

There were more classic impressions today coming from Scott as Glyn off of Big Brother and the flying solo bird off of Mysteeq. Last night Big Brother housemates had to record their own voiceovers for Big Brother FM, and it looks like they could be Chappers’ replacement. Scott thinks Imogen would be a great replacement for Chappers, where he asks her lots of topical questions on the show, like in The Sun where they ask the Page 3 model what she thinks about the latest current affairs.

And it was a quite sporty show today. Chappers is going for a drink with the England manager tomorrow and was looking for someone to take, should he take Lloyd? Others suggested Laura, but she was quite confused as to what happened to the last manager. Chappers also had an amazing competition today. He was giving away two nights at the England cricket team’s hotel, time to watch the team practise, a Question and Answers session with some of the team, a skills session with one of the players, a mobile phone, and tickets to the first day of cricket… with an actual hamper! Faye from Middlesbrough got a call back and she won the hamper! (And the fantastic cricket prize too).

Madonna experiences the power of the Lord… Scott Mills

One caller on the way to tonight’s Madonna gig was wondering if Scott could get Madge to postpone the gig by a few hours. She made a desperate plea to her, who was obviously listening to the show in her dressing room, and by the end of the show her wish was her command.

And remember Darren and Joanne from the beginning of the week? Read the reviews (or download the podcast) to find out more about that. Today David Crout sent in a song about Darren and Joanne called ‘Do The Right Thing’.

Michael Jackson was chuffed with his exam results…

Whilst everyone’s hammering on about exam results, Laura’s sister is going on a gap year this autumn. She wants to go to Thailand and Australia and possibly somewhere else. Earlier today when talking to Laura she had raised £300 and doesn’t plan to work when she gets there. The team seemed to find the whole idea quite amusing. Scott reassured listeners the team won’t be answering the One Life phone line. Chappers reckons she could make Northern France.

Quite a quiet show today, and slightly disappointing. Tomorrow’s show includes the Wonder Years, as its only bley Friday!
