Capital Summertime Ball 2024

[Jono]

<b>Hoff-a-doodle-doo! I'm back from The Fratellis in Norwich, and it was a hoot. With a slight headache, and feel very tired, here's my Scott Mills review...</b>

<b>Morning Banter</b>

Scott's feeling very tired this morning. His eyes are hurting too, from when he stuck a naan bread in his eye. Bizarre. But it isn't just Scott who's been a victim of the naan bread. Gail called in to say her brother slapped her around the head with naan bread, and it caused a cut, which is still visible two years later.

Following yesterday's training for Celebrity Scissorhands Scott has cuts all over his hand. He met Darren Day yesterday, but he didn't really speak to him. The bloke from Right Said Fred, had a back problem, and had to leave early. It's really all kicking off isn't it. Chappers thinks Scott will say nice things about each of them, so he's considering slagging every one off for Scott. He had to do a bob like Posh Spice hair bob on a mannequin. It's all about the Spice Girls this week...

As well as that, Scott went to the loo with the tiny microphone supplied still attached.

<I>Scott: "It'll be on YouTube any time now"

Chappers: "Oh so they film it as well?!"

Scott: "I forgot, it's only small!"

Chappers: "What is?"

Scott: "The microphone!"</I>

This incident reminded Scott of the girl from CNN who left her microphone on whilst she went to the toilet as a George Bush press conference went out on the air. Not only were we hearing George Bush, we were also hearing about her family affairs. Don't forget the guy who auditioned in Southampton for One Night With Laura, he too went to the toilet with his microphone still on. Many stories then came in with similar incidents. One guy did it after testing a radio microphone at a local bingo club. James called in and used to work for a Granada TV shopping channel, and he got off with the woman who did the jewellery. The only problem was her microphone was still on, and so the whole of the production team heard the whole thing.

It's all going off with Randy Gaylord. Rebecca e-mailed Randy to inform him about the feature and Randy has decided to revert back to calling himself Randall Gaylord.

<I>Looks innocent doesn't he? Wait until you read the card...</I></center>

<b>Flower Power!</b>

Meanwhile Scott wants to play a Florist Game they recorded last week that was very saucy. Scott and Laura adapted some saucy magazine and internet stories and called up the florist to put it on a card. The florist was shocked. But the BBC won't let him air it. They want to put it on the internet as they can't play it on the air. Chappers, the technical god, wanted to put bleeps over some words but he found it made it lot worse. Chappers thought it had sent Geek World (that's us) in to a state of frenzy, as many suggested we should have the exclusive of the file for visitors to download. Chappers felt we wouldn't understand the feature as it involved relationships. Cheeky git...

Meanwhile there's a phantom pooer on South East Trains. He waits till he's all alone and then has a dump. He's struck 33 times since August 2006, much to the disgust of Georgina who uses the service.

<b>Laura's Diary - Episode 7</b>

Last night Mary didn't get in till early hours. Today's extract comes from the 1st of September 1998. Laura was writing to Mel C today. She hoped Mel was alright, and complimented Viva Forever as a brilliant song. She congratulated the SGs on their Number 1 and informed Mel she's been a fan of their work since they started up. Despite being the humble age of 18, she claims she isn't any sort of stalker. She just heard on Live and Kicking that they like reading fan mail. She continues that the Spice Girls are inspiration to her, and if she's in a dillema, she asks 'what would the Spice Girls do?'. This time she's decided to ask them directly as it's more complicated. Laura explained about the mix tape with the U2 song, the mumbling of 'Charlotte', and then wanting to go to university a single person.

<I>Scott: "Do you think she's thrown it away yet?"</I>

Laura said she'd do anything to keep him. She knows he loves her, he just needs reminding. She left both her telephone numbers and said she'd love to meet up with them should they be in York or Glasgow. Finally she congratulated David and Posh on their 'baby spice'.

<I>Mel C. Laura's letter changed her life. Or was that the split of the Spcie Girls?</I></center>

So what do you think? Is Melanie C now the Dr Mark Hamilton of the 90s? And has Laura become the new Stan off of Eminem? Will she next be riding around with Ben in the boot of her car?

<b>Forever Friends?</b>

Lauren from Nottingham e-mailed Scott to ask for help. She found out her best mate was telling constant lies and wants to know whether she should ditch her. The general consensus was that she should tell her friend what's bothering her, and get well rid.

<I>Chappers: "That's what Mel C would do, they did it with Geri"</I>

Jay called in as he had a similar story. His best mate suddenly became very weird one day and started to criticise his style whilst copying it at the same time. Even his best mate's girlfriend said he looked quite alike despite it being him who started the trend! He found it weird, and so got rid of him.

<b>Endless Echoes... Echoes... Echoes</b>

Scott's found an amazing website called Endless Echoes where you can send a message up to space for $25. It will keep going and going. Suggestions for messages to send up included the X-Rated Florist Game - at least the aliens could hear it - or even the Jo Whiley rollercoaster soundbite.

<I>Scott: "Oh sod it, let's send Jo Whiley in to space, we could do it if all listeners club together"</I>

<I>"Have you downloaded our podcast yet?"

"Have you downloaded our podcast yet?"

"Have you downloaded our podcast yet?"</I></center>

Laura explained that the aliens have antennas to receive the message.

<I>Chappers: "I was gonna say my old relatives didn't die with an antenna on their head"</I>

<b>Record of the Week</b>

This week's Record of the Week is Booty Love and 'Boogie Nights'.

<B>Hoff Mania</b>

'It's quiz even better than the Price is Right' says Scott Mills. A blatant lie, but far better than the new edition with Joe Pasquale.

<I>The Hoff: "Why is it always you that sits in for Chris Moyles? Can't they find any one better?"

Scott: "Everyone's busy... Who would you like to do it?"

The Hoff: "Moira Stewart"</I>

Last night The Hoff was at a Russian Dancing Class, but as for today, he's got a mystery voice competition for us with a prize of Baywatch Nights on VHS.

Calling in today was...

<li><b>Angela off of Leeds</b> - She wasn't feeling too good, as she had a cold. She thought it was Ross Kemp and was hopelessly wrong. But all that's important is The Hoff loves her.

<li><b>Nikki off of Essex</b> - the typical Essex girl. She was on and had even brought the single. She correctly guessed Ray Winstone. She'll be the envy of the boy racers in Essex, as she now owns Baywatch Nights, as shown on Sky Travel.

So what's The Hoff up to for the rest of the day? Quite possibly collonic treatement, depending on whether Scott is confident enough to do it.

Nice show today, the banter wasn't bad, although there's only so many toilet stories that will make you laugh. The banter may have not been laugh out loud funny, but kept me interested. Natalie will have tomorrow's review online in the next few days...
