Yeah, I can hear the McFly thing...

Well the photo kinda scared me a little, but actually the song's not so bad. I haven't heard the whole of the Embrace song, as I've only heard it played once and then I went into a tunnel (on a train) and missed the rest of it. This could be an anthem though :)

Thanks Bodspurs, Jono etc

Ok Ok so the shirts aren't up to date, well we are everyday skint people from a small town in Norfolk and that is what makes the song for us such a middle class peoples anthem. The whole thing happened in about a week, it was only recorded on Tuesday in a tiny little studio in Norwich that we could barely afford so please excuse the lack of up-to-date t-shirts as it has no bearing on our enthusiasm for England.

09/09 in Heaven is a fun, cheesy, tongue-in-cheek pop rock song that seems to be going down really well with the majority. As much as I like the official anthem as a song I don't think that a dreary anthem would motivate the team and this really all happened out of the blue; in fact we are all a bit shocked at the attention we've had so far!

MESSAGE FOR ALAN SUGAR, BILL GATES ETC: PLEASE FUND OUR DESPERATE NEED FOR T-SHIRTS!

Thanks to everyone for their great comments, hope the message above explains our situation. We are on the case with the t-shirts!

If you can take a moment to text into the show perhaps, just perhaps the song may get some airplay.

Love Manhug x

It took us ages to perfect our appearance for that picture!!! Glad you like it, it all happened perfectly to plan - if you can believe it then believe this: the record only cost us £50 to make!! And here I must plug Errol at www.plugstudios.co.uk in Norwich for his great production work on the smallest studio budget ever!

We had a cracking time in London outside radio 1 and had a great response from the public, though we did get moved on from Leicester Square by site security! The only other hick-up was Galactic Man somehow getting wedged in the door of the tube and getting a bit too !!!!ed! I have never seen so many saluting white van drivers in my life - these guys are a credit to England!

Just to update: for some reason those friends on myspace who have added the MANHUG anthem to their profies now appear unable to play them. Curious I am about this that I have decided to take it up with Myspace and to employ a music lawyer to see if any foul-play could be involved.

Anyway thanks for all your comments, keep listening and promoting the song to Scott Mills for us.

All the best

      I must have missed that yesterday, sorry! Scott did make the same tongue in cheek comment on today's show about Rylan. It's a shame Rylan isn't the go to cover for Scott, I assume his commitments away from R2 prevent that. I enjoyed his last cover stint. Spoony is the go to stand in for the mid afternoon slot (he's covering again week after next while Scott's off getting married).   In that case, I think you're right!

      Not that last minute. Scott was talking about it on his own show yesterday, saying he and Rylan have a deal where they cover each other's shows but Rylan only covers Scott when he can be bothered!

      Sorry I should have been clearer, I meant daytime weekday. Weekend shows would count as a 'step up' from overnights for OJ.

      If we're counting the overnight slot, OJ Borg regularly covers weekend shows.

      The only weekday R2 DJ who would ever cover a weekend slot?!

      What I assume is a very last minute change... Scott Mills is in for Rylan today.

      Radio 1 at Parklife will be presented by Vicky and Nat. Nat is currently listed to present her usual Sunday show on that weekend but I imagine that will change and someone else will be doing it instead. The Radio 1 presenters at Download will be Daniel P Carter, Jack Saunders, Alyx Holcombe and Nels Hylton.

      He’s definitely gotten better and the show has sounded fine this week. I think it been at its best when it’s been Katie and Jamie or Vick and Katie. Vick and Jamie are ok together, but I do think the show sounds better when it’s Vick and Katie and therefore I still don’t really understand the point of the trio.    Jamie is, however, a lot better than Danny Beard!

      The RAJAR coming on later this year reflecting later summer to autumn will be interesting to how it reflects Matt and Mollie in afternoons to the revised changes on radio 1’s new music slots and the schedule re-shuffling Radio 3 introducing a new slate of programmes. Then, later on this year have speech radio stations having domestic political coverage of the election but also America’s presidential election.

      I actually caught snippets of today’s show, and I found it much better than the last time I listened. I have made it no secret that I like Jamie on the radio, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed Matt & him together last year. People have criticised him for not being relatable, but I have to agree with the comment above that I have always found him a naturally warm person to listen to. Maybe the going home set up was something that needed settling in and things are starting to take shape.  It must have been difficult for him joining an established duo in Vick & Katie to begin with.  Jamie was great on something songs today, fully engaged in the caller and sounded like a real presenter. Maybe he is doing as a lot of us hoped and really learning as he goes, how to do it properly.

      Agree with this. The anti-Jamie feeling was IMO quite influenced by the negativity around him replacing Jordan, since Jordan was exceptional and also universally loved. When people mention Danny and Jamie in the same sentence about bad hiring decisions I almost choke - Jamie may not be perfect but he's several leagues better than Danny already and has bags of potential. Danny is poor and has shown zero potential...

      Jamie started 4 March, and the figures only going up to 31 March, so it isn't reliable. But it has shown the numbers have dropped in afternoons compared to last quarter. It looks like it's Capital's gain.
