A snail goes into a pub. The snail then asks the bartender for a brandy. "No. We don't serve snails", says the landlord and kicks him out. One year later the snail returns to the pub. "What did you do that for?" asks the snail.

Why do mice spin? Because the higher the fewer.

It's not really a joke... I think it's philosophical off of exams in the 1920s. According to Google it's about steam engines.

I think they're making a point people will laugh along with things regardless of whether they understand or not...

1. The Nun joke is a little bit rude. Substitute "Where's the soap...." for "Wears the soap ..." and you may now understand it (think naughty things to do with the soap ...... !):*

2. Someone PLEASE explain the darn Mouse joke (I'm not intot he philosphical explanation, I'm afraid) - it's doing mine (and my Wifes) head-in !!

Thanx

It comes from an old engineering saying to do with steam engines:

The meaning has to do with the centrifugal governor on a steam engine - the

weight was called the mouse, and as the engine rpm increased the mouse

would rise due to centrifugal force. But as the mouse rose, the arm

would force the steam valve in the more closed direction, thus

reducing the rpm, that is, the higher (the mouse), the fewer (rpms).

So for a given setting of the mouse on the arm, the engine would run

at a constant speed.

So the riddle should actually be: How is a mouse when it spins? - The higher, the fewer.

Obviously due to the fact that this riddle is so old it has been open to misinterpretation over the years.

Bah, you shouldn't have given away the meaning of the nun joke, it's far more fun watching people try to work it out, haha. My dad got it straight away when I told it to him - what exactly that says about him I don't know...

So save the last dance

For me my love 'cause I

I see you as an angel freshly fallen from the sky...

I take it the mice joke, or at least the line about spinning mice had some regular useage in the 20th century.

A variation of it was one of the first things said by Tom Bakers confused doctor after he regenerated from Jon Pertwee in Dr Who in 1974. '....why is a mouse when it spins'?

You're showing your age there. You're not Chappers are you?

      Well looks like Mollie is off all month now so presumably a personal matter.

      Intrigued why Matt & Mollie aren't presenting breakfast on Monday, with James in for them instead (which has happened before).. or even James given a chance to present the breakfast show?

      Sam & Danni seem to be down for Breakfast on Monday. James Cusack on Going Home. That’s another new name in the list of “people who have hosted Going Home in 2025”.

      Wednesday, surely? But this is another mess, as this weeks Summer press release said it’ll be Sam & Danni no Jamie from the 28th - so it’s actually a whole week earlier!

      R1 to R2 transfers

      I worked out once Scott spent 3 months of a year off his own slot in the Moyles days and more like 4 in Grimmys days, six weeks of his own holiday and projects, six covering Grimmy plus some ad hoc days

      Back on topic, I think there's quite a few of the current Radio 1 presenters who would be able to adapt to Radio 2's style in the future. It's more of question of how many of them will actually end up there. With much of R2's line up changed over the past couple of years, it's quite possible we won't see much movement there, and R2 management might even decide to look elsewhere to bring in new presenters in future.

      With OJ covering on bank holidays. She is the best person for the job however... they're going to end up with a situation like Scott covering R1 breakfast back in the day, where she spends quite a bit of time off her own slot covering Breakfast, plus her own holiday and other commitments. She's been filming for something recently which has meant she's been off several days a week since May. She was off last week, on breakfast this week, OJ is on Mon/Tues next week, then She's off the following two weeks.

      Looking back at this I would say now that Sara is the main cover - I think she has been reestablished as it now

      Radio 1 Anthems Scheduling

      By Lee E · Posted

      Purley on the R1 Dance station.. Someone on DS said don't expect to see any changes to the schedule on the new stations however if they are taking on Capital Dance with this, which they clearly are, which has live presenters 7am - 10pm except for the 11am mix then they'll surely have to have a proper scheduled set of shows. At the moment Arielle is the only "live" per say show and only "live" a few days a week with earlier shows being repeated Thursday Friday and Saturday. Connor and Charlie are clearly pre records but was this only for the time it was online only and they have already got a schedule ready to go on day 1? also of note is that Charlie is taking over a podcast as well as starting a new project with podcasting which makes me wonder if she is about to step back from Dance Anthems all together to concentrate on those and Connor takes over? So you could have Arielle doing 9-12 weekdays live then someone else 12-3 and Connor live 3-6 on R1D and doing Dance Anthems on a Saturday.

      As none of the Going Home Team aren't currently on the air, that's a bit if an issue. Considering most of the Dance DJs will be out there, I'm surprised none of them are being utilised to host the 1-4 slot that weekend.
