Capital Summertime Ball 2024

[Viv]

A new feature entitled "Radio's Toughest Quiz" (hosted by Miss Fearne Cotton) will be starting on Monday, 27th June 2011.

More details coming Monday.... woo hoo.

[MrDoovdeHaxorz]

Radio's toughest quiz? I bet it's a picture/visual quiz on the radio... (something I believe the legends Mark and Lard did years ago during their glorious tenure on Radio1 along with a few visual gags, all when there weren't constant webcams on all the time)

[Viv]

The songs are chosen by Aled, Freya and Matt for it (or something like this), so they are involved in some way!!

[MrDoovdeHaxorz]

What songs? #details

[Viv]

I dunno.... Sorry, I was up late this morning, because my phone was on silent, which caused my alarm to be SILENT. Very annoying. You would think a mobile phone would over-ride the silent profile, when it comes to an alarm going off.

That's why there's half a topic.

[MrDoovdeHaxorz]

I would guess it was probably vibrating instead when the alarm went off?

[Viv]

Er... no, it wasn't vibrating. I just happened to wake up, to see "stop or snooze" flashing at me? I just shouted the one word:

"IDIOT", and got up in a rage. *

* naturally, I would have been snoozing if it can't make any noise. I always thought that was the point to an alarm.

[MrDoovdeHaxorz]

so you *DID* wake up while it was going off? *confused now*

[Viv]

Well, woke up after it was going off. It repeats itself over and over.

It was set for 0721, and I finally saw it at 0736. D'uh.

Am I the only person who makes sense on here.

[TheEpicPlum]

I am completely in the loop.

What's the hell is thus quiz about though?

[DarkAngelMJH]

Made me laugh that she was on tape for the first one.

[capes]

who was on tape and what first one!??

[abertom]

Fearne took a day off at short notice so she played a message on tape saying it starts tomorrow and basically each of the team have to do something based on their fears

[rosie_posii]

That should be good, the fears one.

[capes]

Trust her to muck it all up.

[MrDoovdeHaxorz]

Yeah because NO OTHER DJ EVER has ever messed up... ONLY Fearne

[capes]

Exactly. Couldn't have put it better myself.

So far tina had to get in a crane and go to top of radio 1 building and touch a buzzer as afraid of heights. Dave did it today and he had to climb through a tunnel as he is claustrophobia. They win prizes, Tina got guestlisted at ibiza by pete tong and Dave got a Everton VIP package. Tommorow Chris,Dave And Dom have to do a challenge

[rosie_posii]

It'll only be Chris and Dom left, Dave did his already today. Aled's liking this whole buzzer thing isn't he?

[Dave1]

Not going to lie...

After all the build up, I have been so disappointed with this feature !

I thought the challenges might actually be....er....Tough?

I agree, but reckon Dom's task should remedy this situation. I've always thought I might like to do a skydive, but I would certainly need more than half a day to make up my mind as to whether I could do it or not.

Poor Dom's had this thrust upon him at the last minute in the middle of the show, with the added extra of emotional blackmail - so he can take his children to see Pepa Pig etc. He understandably both looks and sounds very nervous indeed.

Good luck Dom.

[rosie_posii]

I thought the challenges might actually be....er....Tough?

Well, if they're the things that you're scared of, then they're going to be tough.

If I had to stand on a wobbly bridge for half an hour, then that would be really hard for me. But to anyone else, it would sound easy.

[DarkAngelMJH]

I have to say, the dog thing would be a bit scary but easy overall. But skydiving?! No chance in hell.

[tweetie]

the skydiving and also the dog were scary. Poor Aled and the spider

[DarkAngelMJH]

As a person who also doesn't like spiders, I wouldn't have done that one either!
