Well...where on earth do I start today. Hmmm, that’s a toughie. I guess I should probably say first though that the opening couple of hours on today’s show were so dull I deserve a medal for managing to stay awake up until half time. However, once we hit that point it all kicked off big time. If you’re a regular at this place you’ll no doubt know about the huge drama of yesterday afternoon, when it was alleged that Mr Chris Moyles himself made a visit to the new site chatroom. He supposedly spent around an hour in Chat, promising to prove his identity by giving the folks in there a mention during half time on today’s show. This kind of thing is big news on here (no seriously it is) and last night the messageboard was full of rumours, debating whether or not the person in question was actually Moyles, or just some * imposter. Our Official Inside Show Source Aled (who posts on the boards) confirmed last night that it was indeed Chris, but when the subject came to the surface on the show today...he was claiming otherwise. I’ll run through what was said on the show and tell you what I make of it all as we go along, but I must ask you to concentrate carefully as it’s bloody confusing. Firstly Chris told Dave and Rachel at half time that Aled had phoned him up last night, simply to tell him that he’d spent the afternoon on chrismoyles.net (that’ll be us - hi), pretending to be Chris in the chatroom. He allegedly rang Chris to tell him to mention the people in Chat with him at half time today, thus making them believe that it really was Moyles and meaning that Aled would have completely drawn the wool over our eyes. However, why would Aled have told Chris this over the phone instead of waiting for work in the morning?, and two...why would he have told him anyway? We know Moyles has a go at Aled for being an “Internet geek” so you’d think the last thing he would do would be to go and talk to him about it directly. At first Aled disputed the fact it was him posing as Chris and said he was actually in Pizza Express at the time, when he got a call from a bored Moyles explaining what had happened. This sounds a far more likely scenario and Chris’s little laugh on second listen definitely makes him sound like he’s been caught out. However, he asked when he had ever been in a chatroom and I must admit that at the time I did actually believe it was Moyles telling the truth and not Aled. Now though I definitely believe it really was Chris in there. The discussion went on and it was clear that Dave and Rachel had not been told of what Chris really did, as they were genuinely having a go at Aled for posing as Moyles too...
Dave - You sad man
Aled - I’m falling on the sword here, I can feel this
Dave - Well there you go...
Chris - Are you? Who’s left that sword in here?
(Rach laughs)
Chris - Is it that bloomin Zane Lowe again?
Rachel - I haven’t filled in a form for that
(Chris & Aled laugh)

Dave told Aled to go for a walk and meet some real people, instead of chatting to folks like us lot on the t’internet. Chris butted in and said that Aled should do something constructive with his spare time like he does, i.e spend his afternoons playing Interactive Battleships on Sky Gamestar (and chatting on chrismoyles.net). The moment Aled started saying hello to the people who had been in Chat, it made it seem like it really was him on there yesterday. However Jones later revealed he’d read a transcript of the chatroom stuff with Moyles, which appeared (and has since been removed) from the messageboard, so he knew who had been on there and what they had been like to Chris. I also think Moyles would have told him off the air before the show about who was in there (he probably made a note), although I don’t know this for sure.

BOARD MEMBER MENTIONS AND ALED EXPLAINS INTERNET JARGON (BADLY):>>>>
Aled said that two people in particular had been vicious towards “him” in the chatroom yesterday - Lewis (now Sanitarium on the boards) and Mafro. Aled said these two needed to grow up and added that Lewis had a major problem on his hands. Dave said yeah, he was spending his afternoon talking to Aled.
Chris - Also, isn’t Mafro the baddie kid in Harry Potter?
Rachel - No that’s Malfoy
Chris - Ah well, same thing

Unfortunately this discussion completely crashed over my moment of glory though, as Aled said hello to moi. I wasn’t actually in the chatroom yesterday though (and am never), the initials “MC” stood for McQueen, who Aled also said hi to today...
Chris - Who, Steve?
Sidla, Tipsy Dipsy and Ice T also got mentions, with Chris referring to us all as geeks from Aled’s little computer world. I wouldn’t say geeks, just enthusiastic fans *cough*. I know that Aled would have got a bollocking from Moyles off the air if he’d gone on about the fact that it was really Chris in there, but I kind of wish he had done now to prove the point - and not leave us all still a little unsure. Aled said it was funny how Chris was chatting just like a newbie yesterday:
Chris (pretending) - What’s a newbie? Isn’t that the guy who makes the daily advert for the show?
(Aled laughs)
Dave - Ben Newby upstairs
Aled - No not Ben Newby here

Aled also tried to explain what “Lol” and “Rofl” mean, although this was obviously a signal for Dave and his comedy answers such as “really ordinary fat legs”. Aled plugged the full site address twice (much appreciated) and also added that if any newbies were to come on here then they shouldn’t ask what stuff like “lol” means as it annoys us (apparently). Dave again called Aled sad as he admitted that he does use chatrooms, but not ours. He also called him for having a webcam in his room and said “no further questions your honour”. Rachel joined in too, scoffing at his use of chatrooms...
Aled - Rachel, I’ll take you on there one day..
Dave - Blimey!! What a thought eh!
Rachel (laughs) - What a promise!
Dave - An offer you can’t refuse
(Chris laughs, starts Nina Sky and forgets about Rach giving out the CPC number)

THE MOYLES MINI OLYMPICS - GRAND FINAL:>>>>
Image
Today was the grand finale of The Moyles Mini Olympics then, and I can’t ever recall such an annoying bunch of idiots in all my life (oh - sorry I forgot Blazin Squad). The finalists were either dull and only spoke in one word answers (Peter and Matt) or just annoyingly * and trying to be funny (Charlie and Martin). All four were live in the studio, this after bonding in the pub with Jocelyn last night. After a quick game of “Lightning Reaction” as a warm up (in which Charlie was electrocuted), the finalists got down to the real business - The Mini Moyles Craptathlon 2004. The semi finals were drawn as Martin versus Charlie (Mon Vs Wed) and Matthew versus Peter (Tue Vs Thurs), with the events chosen being air hockey and Barbie Basketball respectively. Irritating Martin beat Charlie 2-0 in a Best Of 3 Mini Air Hockey contest, and Matt progressed through to meet him in the final after a 4-2 Basketball win over an annoyed Peter. Martin’s motto that they were all winners was really grating on Peter's nerves, so it was pleasing to see Martin get his ass whooped in the <s>Darts</s> sorry Javelin final, by 61 points to 46 (with 3 throws in hand). Matt therefore won the big trip for two to Athens to see the Diving, Athletics, Basketball and Taekwondo at The Olympic Games. Chris said it couldn’t have worked out better - Matt (the newlywed) won, and...well Martin lost. Hurrah, a great result for everybody.

BIG BROTHER, BUZZ OFF, JEAN JONES AND PAPER WARS:
Chris began with BB chat this morning, saying that Victor’s chat up lines last night had made him realise something. Victor is the new Chris Eubank - He’s Victor Eubank. Chris impersonated Victor with the parking ticket fine chat up line, but stopped when trying to do the “legs is the word of the day” line to Jules, who’d never heard it before.
Chris - and Aled will probably be there at Big Brother tonight, or tomorrow depending on when they do it these days
Aled - Indeed... Ahmed!!
Chris - What?
Aled - Ahmed!!!
Chris - Yeah alright, I think Aled’s gone mad already. 6:57, thank you Nemone, I’m Chris Moyles, good mornin..
(hits Scissor Sisters vocal)

Buzz Off today was the track Chris was going to play yesterday but didn’t, if you follow me. It was Kiss Me, Stephen 'Tin Tin' Duffy’s number 4 hit back in March 85, which to be fair went down like a fart in a crowded lift. Dave buzzed in on 1:06 and said he thought it was a very poor choice, that following Aled on bang on 1 min and then being followed by Rachel on 1:14. With the text vote leaning considerably in favour of Buzz Off too (63% Off, 37% On), Chris did what he normally does in such situations...and cheated. He said in a new rule Dominic now also needed to buzz, and what a surprise Dom was loving it...
Rachel - Oh you’re so old
Dom - Shut it Rach! I’m only two years older than you

Chris eventually got rid of it due to timings after 3 mins 27. Other music on the show today came courtesy of Lou Reed, Estelle, a bit of vintage Lionel Vinyl and a classic from Run DMC & Jason Nevins, which Chris had to annoyingly cut short. He also chatted about the picture of him on page 8 of today’s Daily Star, taken earlier in the week when he was doing arm muscle and elbow joint exercises in the gym (good mornin’).
Image
Rachel demanded Chris stop the show before 7:30 so that she could say hello to her mum Mrs (Jean) Jones, who was on her way to school for the last time today. No she wasn’t off to high school, she’s actually a teacher and is retiring. Chris ended this heartfelt message with a burp, which Dave thought was somewhat inappropriate. Dom asked Rach if people refer to her mum as “JJ”, although obviously not at school, but in her social circle.
Chris - What does she teach?
Rachel - Little children
(all laugh - Dave does his pig squeal laugh)
Chris - No, what subject?

Rachel had to explain to them all that primary school teachers have no specialisms and confirmed that no, her mum did not teach Electronics, Home Ec, Modular Science, Spanish, Politics or Media Studies. Chris said it was no wonder she was retiring in that case. You could tell it was a Friday and the team were close to their hols, as a big round of paper wars kicked off during the 8:30 weather and travel news. Dom was pelted with all sorts of paper from various directions (Rach was a woman out of control), and things got a little out of hand as Dave hurled a penguin (as in the biscuit not the animal) at Dominic’s throat. Dave apologised and said that no he didn’t want the penguin. Dom said in that case..
Chris - Are you eating a penguin on the air?
Dom (speaks with mouth full) - Sorry yeah I am eating
Chris - You are so unprofessional. Here we are trying to do the best show we can...(Dom & Rach laugh)...and you’re eating on the air
Dom - I’ve really let this link down haven’t I?
Chris - You have

CARPARK CATCHPHRASE...WITH ROY WALKER LIVE IN THE STUDIO!!!:
RUSSELL a lorry driver from Barking 2
MICHELLE a velcro sales exec from Burnley who’s sticking with her job (y'geddit?) 1

**(after the game had finished)
Russell - Have a good couple of weeks off Chris. I think I speak for most of the nation when I say we’ll miss you...(collective studio “aahh”)..cos Scott’s rubbish in the morning

(The busiest radio studio in the world - from top to bottom and left to right:
Aled, Jules, Rachel, Dave, Roy Walker, Joce’s head, Chris, Will and Dom out of shot)


**Yep, the real Roy Walker joined the team live in the studio for today’s Carpark Catchphrase. A big deal wasn’t really made out of it, although Roy was clearly on to plug his Tuesday and Wednesday night “Big Laughter Show”, which is running until October at Blackpool North Pier. Roy did his own live jingles, read out the clues for the third catchphrase and also did a completely live “he’s waving”!!!**

Daves Tedious Link
The Cure Friday I'm In Love - If you remove the last letter of Cure and replace it with an A, T, O and an R you get “curator”, which is somebody who works in a museum - Museums are a good place for seeing old stuff - Stuffing is not found in a museum, it’s found in a supermarket like Safeways or Asda - The word “Asda” is a palindrome, as are the words “kayak” and “racecar” - A racecar is something you might find in the pits, while pits of a different type might instead contain miners and coal - Cole first name Andy plays for Blackburn Rovers - Blackburn Rovers are managed by Graeme Souness, who used to be one of the worlds most famous moustachioed men - “Moustachio” rhymes with pistachio, which is a type of nut - Nuts are eaten by squirrels - Squirrels can be considered vermin - The word “vermin” shouldn’t be mistaken for Vernon, as in Vernon Kay who is actually a nice guy and certainly not a horrible rodent - Rodents are commonly caught with the help of cheese - Cheese can be made from goats - Goats like to live on mountains - and when you think of the word “mountain” in the context of early 90’s dance classics by bands beginning with the letter S, you think of Move Any Mountain by The Shamen - Which links us predictably to this Friday fun filled Tedious Link, The Shamen and Move Any Mountain

BLINDINGLY OBVIOUS FLAW
*Asda is not a palindrome, as backwards it spells “Adsa”. Dave said he was thinking of Abba for some reason. That’ll be Abba the famous supermarket chain then...

SCOTT FOR BREKKIE
Image
You probably know by now but Chris and the team are taking a two week break from Monday morning, with the one and only Scott Mills standing in until they return on Monday August 2nd. I dunno what Chris is doing, Aled is spending the fortnight in Wales, Rachel is going to LA for her cousin’s wedding, and Dave is gonna spend the two weeks in Homebase. Yep, he’s DIY Dave ladies.
Rachel - Oh don’t worry, I’ll send you a postcard Dave
Dave (very enthusiastically) - Ta

Dave will still of course be doing his shows with Chappers, which will appear here on the reviews page as per normal. Apart from those however, you’ll have nothing from me until Chris returns on August 2nd *cue the wild celebrations*. However, I may include a brief round up on Scott’s shows if people post enough stuff about it on the boards.
