26 October 2005: Big Weekend, Standing to attention and Lost in Translation

 

Highlights from the show

Wednesday is here, and there's something exciting about the 26th October. Any idea? I don't…

David Walliams points out his next partner

Alrite Treacle?

In the new FHM Scott was rated '7' in the man test – apparently that's not good. After checking the magazine, one caller corrected him, he actually got a 2. He was one of the lowest scorers, along with Will Mellor who got a 1. Scott's not read the article yet – he got his points for snogging a bloke over 55 and being mistaken for a tramp.

Chappers: "Your mother must be really proud"

Speaking of charming men, Scott's got a new game for the team, to guess who David Walliams will next be linked with, after he was linked to Lisa Snowdon. David was all over Laura when he popped into the show with Matt a few weeks ago for Breakfast. Laura passed over a fiver in very loose change, and Scott and Chappers passed over a note. Chappers put his money on Cara the new one off of Eastenders, Scott went for Fearne Cotton, whilst Laura went for Abi Titmuss but he's 'been there and done that'. So in a quick move she put money on Sarah from Girls Aloud. George off of Newsbeat put money on Keira Knightley. Lots of callers wanted to join in including Laura (followed by a very delightful reconstruction of their encounter before)

Standing to attention

Well that's what Laura wants today's listener in Rate My Listener to do. He's Gavin from Yeovil, and he's in the army.

Also on the show

Watch out for Janice. She'll be on Crimewatch soon for her crimes with Bluetooth…

Lost in Translation

Yesterday the team rang some of the contacts on their mobile phone which they'd added and didn't have a clue of who they were. This included a Brian May lookalike, Janice Long, and Camp Man. Chappers still can't really explain while Janice was in his phone book, perhaps he thought it was Janice Battersby? Scott did Mr 'D' today, whilst Chappers did '!'. After giving them a call, Dan the dancer from the One Big Weekend in Birmingham answered. Scott said he'd give him a call after meeting him in a bar – yet another rather random person. But neither him nor Brian May yesterday got an 'I love you'. Chappers gave '!' a call and that turned out to be Dominic Byrne off of The Chris Moyles Show. Woops, you can tell there's some love between those two!

On tonight's Your Call you heard tracks like Green Day, Jamiroquai, Hard-Fi, Madonna, The Killers, McFly in the Live Lounge, Gorrilaz and Travis.

Tonight it was all about crap claims to fame. Scott almost hit Lawrence Llewelyn-Bowen's luggage trolley on Monday morning at the airport. On the phone one girl was excited as she'd just seen Abi Titmuss in TESCO (well every little helps), someone who had a crap claim to fame with someone in a pub. Another had met Scott in a pub and Scott had taken his phone number but failed to ring him back, another was off to somewhere that sounded like Kabul, and someone who'd seen Right Said Fred. Tonight's Most Wanted was The Darkness.

Say it with roses

Linda sent an e-mail to Scott, she suspected her boyfriend was cheating on her. He wouldn't let her see her mobile phone, and he'd changed his e-mail password. So what did Scott do? Laura rang up her boyfriend and offered them some flowers. But who would her boyfriend Todd send the flowers to? Sadly it wasn't very juicy, he wanted to send the flowers to Linda and there was no one else. They both ended on a nice note, but I'm sure there'll be a huge conversation tonight. Cynical people thought Todd had been listening to Radio 1 at the time. It was popular on the texts, so expect this feature to return to your airwaves soon. Do boys like being sent flowers? I'm not too sure, clearly the texts proved Scott wrong.

Also Tonight…

More discussion of 'ToneTag' on The Mills Pages. Chris called in with his new ring-tone, but Chappers wasn't impressed. He didn't feel he was taking it seriously.

My review seems a bit flat today, not sure why, sorry about that. It was a pretty good show tonight, although a little bit quiet. We didn't hear anything else about Jo Whiley but there’s more from Scott and the show tomorrow from 4pm.
