Chris had a meeting with the big boss Parf Daddy last night at 7 o’clock. He said he thought it went well as he couldn’t remember any of it this morning. He had originally just gone for a liquid lunch with Rachel at 1pm but after bumping in to Dougie from Travis, he ended up spending the remainder of the afternoon in the pub...before his big meeting with the boss (ironically in a different pub).
Chris - I think the word this morning is delicate, right?
Dave - My word is perky...6:55
Chris - Mines delicate
Dave - Perky for me, it’s not like I was in the same pub as you...no way

That’s right, when Chris walked in to the pub where he was meeting Andy last night, who should he find there but his mates Dave, Jamesie, Alan, Tim and Chris. Dave said Chris was looking a bit tired when he walked in and Chris blamed it all on Dougie for getting him drunk. Rachel was lucky as she managed to escape early from the pub after Dougie started to scare her slightly. Chris had a (sort of) Guess Who from the pub after Rachel left. It was David Gray, although Chris wasn’t 100% sure it was him. Dave said it was probably one of his many looky-likeys and he said that he had a much better Bona fide Guess Who. It was Melinda Messenger, who he spotted in North London on Monday. Chris said she was almost his neighbour as when the bloke in the flat above him was selling it last year, she had a look around...
Chris - Imagine that
Dave - Blimey
Chris - Imagine her on top of you...ahh...erm, living upstairs...on the top floor
Dave - ...of the flats, I understand

Juliette went watching her beloved Port Vale play at QPR last night in Division 2 (they got beat 3-2).
Chris - Were you working last night?
Juliette - No, I went for pleasure...20 pound
Chris (laughing) - Well that’s what I’ve heard Juliette and I think its a bargain
Dom - There's the trail right there
Dave (laughing) - 20 pound for pleasure...7:35

Chris watched Back To Reality last night and saw the clip of Jade answering the phone to talk to him yesterday. He never noticed the way she laughed at the start of the call (hee hee hee) and he thought it was very funny. Chris said that laugh is the new “let’s get fit and get darncin” and he dropped it in to various conversations, jingles and songs throughout the rest of the show. Josie is the latest person to have been kicked out of the Back To Reality house and Chris is now supporting his mate Craig to win, Aled is backing Maureen (cos she’s welsh) and the show as a whole are supposedly supporting Jade. Chris said Aled’s new haircut makes him look very similar to the co-host of Back To Reality, Mr Richard Bacon. Today is Dominic and his wife Nicky’s third wedding anniversary and his auntie Jilly texted in to congratulate them. Chris asked Dom what he had planned to celebrate tonight. He said perhaps just a happy meal for two and then bed around half 8 or 9 o’clock. How romantic.
Dave - I always think that spontaneity is THE best romantic gesture
Dom - I do to
Chris - Yeah, but that's a rubbish nightclub...and why would you want to take her to Luton anyway?

CULSHAW AND CHRIS:
Jon *he’d be nothing without us* Culshaw was this mornings prime time guest on the show between 8 and 9 o’clock. Sure enough, it didn’t take long for Chris to ask him that question...
Chris - If it wasn’t for us Jon, where would you be?
Jon - Under a bridge somewhere drinking cider...
Chris - with Steve Penk
(Dave laughs)

John’s new ITV1 series The Impressionable Jon Culshaw started last week and Chris said that Jon had actually offered him a part in it....as a truck driver. He was impressed by Chris’s performance in the Radio 1 bin man ad then. Chris talked about last weeks show and in particular the scenes involving Jordan and Jodie Marsh (in a Les Dawson and Roy Barraclough stylee). Jon said costume lady Linda found out Jordan’s boob measurements and then made a bra full of lentils in that size. Jon said it was so heavy to wear that it nearly cut off the circulation to his arms. Chris liked the genius Ozzy Rules football scenes last week (eleven 5ft 9 Ozzy Osbournes staggering around on the Crystal Palace training pitch) and also liked the Premiership scenes featuring Tony Green, Tony Gubba, Jon as Des Lynam and the Channel 5 weather babe Lara Lewington as herself (loverly knockers). Jon ran through his usual voices - Lennox Lewis, Russell Crowe, Tom Baker, Ricky Gervais, Chris Tarrant, Obe Wan Kenobi and Dale Winton, which Dave still thinks is Jons finest impression. Jon also did the 8:30 weather as Trevor McDonald - Bong. He finished the trevor forecast (see what they did there) with the line “and now the weather where you are”. The Impressionable Jon Culshaw is every Wednesday night at 10pm on ITV1 and repeated Tuesdays at 9 on ITV2.
MEAN “QUIZ”INE
Dave may not be having much success with his new quiz show formats but fair play to him for still trying. He was back today with an ingredient based points game called Mean “Quiz”ine, note the poor pun on cuisine. Dave said this was one of his new creations but he did exactly the same game (different title) near the end of the afternoon show last year. A text came in saying Real Radio in Leeds have been doing it for weeks on their afternoon show as well. The rules are as follows - Dave reads out a series of 5 ingredients to a mystery dish and the contestants have to buzz in and guess the dish when they know it. The less clues you use, the more points you gain. It was Chris versus Culshaw inside Daves “virtual kitchen” (a poor bed of kitchen sound effects and chefs shouting). Jon said the kitchen sounded more like a prison.
DISH 1 - Spaghetti Bolognese
DISH 2 - Bangers and mash
DISH 3 - Scotch eggs
DISH 4 - Full English Breakfast
SCORE - JON 8 CHRIS 0
Despite him saying it was only a rough prototype and Jon saying it just needs a bit more flesh on the bones, Chris was less than complimentary about Daves latest creation...
Chris - That’s possibly the worst quiz you’ve ever done. You’re rubbish!!
Dave - Do you not think it’d work better on telly?
Chris - Dave, I would say that would work on television as much as...I don’t know, the idea of me doing a show from the upstairs of a bar nightly on Channel 5

Today’s Buzz Off had the potential to be the first ever Buzz Off tune to play straight through without anybody buzzing at all. It was Dude (Looks Like A Lady) by Aerosmith. After Chris told the team that Parfitt likes it when they buzz, they all quickly decided they’d had enough of the song. It was buzzed off just before the end on 4 minutes 16. Fake listener buzz was first on 3:54, Dave next on 4:04, Aled third on 4:06 and Rachel last but not least. Chris casually asked people who liked the song to text ACE to 81199 and 1200 texts came in within 30 seconds...proving that some people really do have far too much time of their hands (even at 20 past 7 in the morning). The Listen Again figures for the show are down despite the fact it is still the second most listened to show on The BBC Radio Player behind The Archers. You can access them anytime to Listen Again to via Chris’s Radio 1 mini-site with Chris suggesting that 3pm when Scott Mills comes on as being as good a time as any to start listening. With the Miami Winter Music Conference fast approaching and Radio 1 running those trails with the crazy Mexican fella on, Chris thought it was about time one of the biggest players in British music (and Moyles Show leg-end) was introduced to the breakfast audience...Mr Tony Byrne. Star of such afternoon show classics as Eh Eh Roadwatch, Chris thought the time was now right to let the morning listeners know Tony - and he asked them to text in “Tell Me About Tony”. Chris said he’d read a fact about him each day this week, with today’s being “he’s going to Miami”. These will be in-depth facts as you can tell. Aled had an overdue birthday card to give to Chris after 9 this morning, signed by two mystery celebrities. From their signatures you couldn’t tell who they were so after a brief attempt at Guess Who questions, the team decided to just randomly shout out guesses at a scared sounding Aled. This part was probably the funniest part of this mornings show. Aled said the card was not from Cannon & Ball, The Proclaimers, The Chuckle Brothers, Paul Young & Zucchero, Salt-N-Pepa, Sooty and Sweep, The Two Ronnies or Colin and Edith. Aled told Chris, Dave and Rach they were really going down the wrong track by guessing famous double acts....so instead they went for random double acts. Surprisingly the card also was not from - Lorraine Kelly & Chevy Chase, Kevin Lyttle & Linda Lusardi, Michael Aspel and Stella hugging*, Maria Whittaker and Alan Smith, Michael Parkinson and Betty Boo, Paul Gambaccini and Jo Guest or Carol Thatcher and Peabo Bryson. Dave found the last suggestion the funniest and was in such a state at 9:30 that Chris sent him out of the studio so that everyone could concentrate on serious news. The mystery card senders were actually Jennifer Aniston and Ben Stiller. A bit disappointing really compared to the names mentioned above and even Rachel said to Aled “is that it?”. Dom said it definitely was their writing as he watched them do it when he interviewed them about Along Came Polly last month.

AND A VOICE FROM THE PAST>>>.....was back live on the air at 9:40 today. Mr Will Kinder was in the studio and chatted briefly to Chris, beginning in typical fashion by back announcing Kylies Can’t Get You Out Of My Head wrongly. Chris said it was no wonder they got promoted to breakfast the day he left the show. Chris is still ending the show with the Dominic singing gag BTW (we’re on to day number 3 now). Dom said he wasn’t going to talk to Chris anymore after he cut short his latest attempt at murdering an Elvis classic.

Daves Tedious Link
Stereo MC’s Connected - Connected is how you might be described if you knew all the cool cats around town - Town is the opposite of country, as in Country File which is hosted by John Craven - John Craven shares the same surname as Beverley Craven - Beverley Craven plays the piano, as does Elton John - Elton John is a celebrity glasses wearer, as is snooker legend Dennis Taylor - Taylor is the surname that links Duran Duran stars Andy, John and Roger - Roger Whittaker is the world's most famous whistler - Whistler is the name of a ski resort - Ski resorts have runs - Runs rhymes with nuns, as in Nuns On The Run which was a film starring Robbie Coltrane - Robbie Coltrane starred as Cracker - The plural of cracker is crackers - Crackers are traditionally bought at Christmas - and Christmas is a time of giving, especially towards those less fortunate than ourselves, like the homeless and the hungry who often receive a hot meal at Christmas time from kind and charitable people in the community - and I suppose these kind people could all be described as Saints, or if you like you could say that they’re “All Saints” - Which links us to All Saints and Never Ever
