The show was a little bit football heavy this morning as Chris and Dave both went to a charidee football gala evening last night and had many a story to tell today. The evening was all in aid of Nordoff-Robins (which Chris said is an excellent charity) and was held at Grosvenor House in London - where Chris and Dave have both been before to not win a Sony award. Dave said “several times in fact”. The night had a slight Liverpool theme to it and was full of rich record company big wigs chucking their money around. Dave admitted that him and Chris did actually consume more fine food and booze than they paid for in raffle tickets. Chris disagreed (he paid 80 quid for a book of 12) but Dave thought that his £20 for three tickets had been a “more than generous” offer. Dave had frankly been more interested in the scantily clad chesty raffle sellers than in the auction last night, with him convinced that one girl in particular had had her norks enhanced. The girls were all from the same modelling agency and Chris was on the t’interweb this morning, trying to find the girl in question on their website. Later in the show (i.e when Emma was listening) Chris and Dave discussed the subject again.
Chris - I think the one who had the fake ones was nice...
Dave - I don’t find those attractive myself
Chris - Oh right OK
(Dom laughs - hits Usher vocal)

Chris and Dave were at a table last night with Leyton from BMG and that egotistical soon-to-be-daytime DJ, Mr Colin “motorcycle helmet” Murray. Colin is a Liverpool fan so was eager to bid for some of the main items available last night, including the sheet of original lyrics to Gerry Marsden’s You’ll Never Walk Alone. The bidding began at 2 grand though, so Colin said you could forget it. The most Chris bid was five grand for a celebrity golf day, although he did jokingly raise his hand at one point for a media package consisting of advertising blocks in newspapers and magazines and slots on commercial radio etc. The bidding started at 40K and Chris (for a laugh) stuck his hand up at £75,000. To his utter horror the bloke looked right at him and said “75 grand, thank you sir”, at which point Chris said he nearly crapped himself. Dave did say that Chris went a nasty shade of white. At 8:45, Dominic and Juliette took part in a huge round of Football Guess Who (all spotted by Chris and Dave last night). Aled didn’t take part in the game for obvious reasons. Jules and Dom correctly identified the following as being there yesterday - Kenny Dalglish, Paul Dalglish, John Barnes, Ian Rush, Sir Bobby Robson, Sir Alex Ferguson, Alan Curbishley and Big Sam Allardyce (who Chris said really is huge). The ones they didn’t get were Martin O’Neill, David O’Leary, Micky Adams, Steve Bruce, Steve McClaren, George Graham, Martin Keown, Viv Anderson, Les Ferdinand and Alan Shearer. Helen Chamberlain from Soccer AM and Sky Sports front man Richard Keys were also there (Keys was actually the MC - no relation). Many of the Guess Whoees mentioned above actually walked directly past the table at which Chris and Dave were sitting. Chris was just explaining that he was very tempted to shout something at Sir Alex, when he changed course mid sentence. Unfortunately for him he therefore said “I was very tempted to shag”. Dom and Jules picked up on this but Chris was unaware of his slip up, until he turned off the microphones so Dom could inform him of his misdemeanour. Chris said that with the girls giving out the tickets last night then yes he was thinking that, but that was a different story all together.

FOOTBALLERS LIVES:

With England playing a friendly in Sweden tonight and the new England away shirt out in the shops today, Chris had some very special prizes to give away after 8 o’clock this morning. They were a pair of Michael Owen Elite X football boots, a blue England goalkeepers jersey, a huge extra extra extra large England away shirt (that about 2 or 3 people can fit into) and the new away kit, with the shirt signed by twelve current members of the England squad. The only signatures Chris and Rachel could identify though were those of Gary Neville and Danny Mills, although Juliette thought she could also see ones from Danny Murphy, Michael Owen, Sol Campbell, John Terry, Phil Neville and Owen Hargreaves. Tom from Nottingham (a Nottingham Forest fan) and Simon from Warminster in Wiltshire (a Chelsea fan) were on the phones to battle it out for the England gear. They played Dave’s old game from the afternoon show to decide who won - Footballers Lives. Simon was dire and got beat 2-0 in the best of three game. The two mystery England footballers correctly identified by Tom were John Terry and Gareth Southgate. Tom therefore won all the England stuff, including the signed away shirt. If you’re wondering what the difference is from the last away shirt, then it’s just that the St Georges Flag is on the shoulder area and the single gold star is now above the badge, not on the sleeve.
Chris - So as we said before, England versus Sweden tonight in Gothenburg. Is that where Batman’s from?
Dave - No that’s Gotham City
Chris - Right OK

Chris said he had a dilemma tonight - should he watch the England - Sweden game or The Republic Of Ireland - Czech Republic game. Dave suggested Chris just came to watch the game down the boozer and therefore have the decision made for him. Chris said he probably would, but was put off by the fact that Dave’s wife Emma might be there. Dave said he is going to have to take her with him as it’s his third night out in a row this week. Chris said because of his divided England - Rep Of Ireland loyalties, last year he got sent separate pairs of shoes with the flags of both nations on. He said they were from a shoe designer who had the same England - Ireland problem (I actually remember him mentioning it on the air at the time - it was just after Dave had got back from his Comic Relief tour with Chappers). Chris couldn’t remember name of the bloke who sent them him so during half time today he asked Rachel to throw a few shoe designer names at him. He said she should know as she’s a girl. Eventually Chris remembered it was Oliver Sweeney, but Rachel had been annoying him throughout the link so he told her to take her ugly face out of the studio and go and do something constructive like put the kettle on or wash some dishes.
Dave (to Rachel) - Make tea not war
Chris - Make tea not talk
(Dave laughs)

Chris went back to the 80’s for today’s Buzz Off - to August 1984 in fact, for Like To Get To Know You Well by Howard Jones. Aled said he wasn’t much of a Howard Jones fan and buzzed it off after just 13 seconds. Rachel followed on 0:16, but Dave waited until 2:58 to buzz (Chris took it off at this point and ignored the listener votes coming in). Despite having it on 7-inch, Dave thought the track was a bit limp (I'm sure there's a gag in there somewhere) and had remembered it as having much bigger and better production than it did. Rachel was constantly telling Dave to buzz it off and Chris at last picked up on her annoying interruptions (she seems to do this a lot). Rache said Chris and Dave were both stuck in the 80’s. Even so, Chris said she needs to abide by the rules of the feature and not just demand it’s buzzed off cos she doesn’t like it. Chris played McFly and 5 Colours In Her Hair again this morning...but with a slight difference. Him and Aled met them yesterday and got them to record some alternative lyrics about “that saviour with five people in his team” (i.e Dave, Rache, Aled, Dom & Jules). The sound quality wasn’t great. Chris said after meeting them yesterday he felt so old. There was other new music on the show today in the form of Last To Know by Pink (a below par single for her), D12 and Eminem (fantastic - Andi Peters e-mailed in to plug their appearance on TOTP next week) and the new song “Fit But You Know It” by...The Streets. Now The Streets tend to be a band that you either love or hate (I happen to fall into the second category) and Chris wanted to get the listeners views on them. He said that he really wants to hate them because he thought their first single was an overrated pile of crap, but actually likes this new song and the previous one Don’t Mug Yourself. However, he said he thinks the songs are only great musically as the lyrics annoy him and he thinks Mike Skinner is a lazy lyricist. Chris said he was being brutally honest, something he doesn’t think enough people at Radio 1 are in regards to new music. Chris said people have Skinner marked down as some kind of musical genius when he is most definitely not. He saw a clip of The Streets playing live on Ear Candy the other week and said they were an absolute pile of bilge. Dave said he prefers the instrumental versions of their tracks and didn’t care whether they were offended by that or not. I’m guessing they probably would be. Chris opened up a text vote regarding The Streets on 81199 with the options GENIUS or RUBBISH. Dom and Rachel were in the genious camp, Dave and Jules in the rubbish camp and Chris and Aled in the middle. 70% of the 8000 texts that came in said rubbish. Chris admitted to being smugly pleased with himself and him and Dave then proceeded to take the pee out of The Streets' lyrics. Dave said Chris and Mike Skinner could meet up down the “rub a dub dub, get some grub, that’d be nice, with chicken and rice”. Chris asked what “lock down your aerial” meant. Dave said it was probably something to do with going in the car wash, like “push your rear view mirrors in” or “remove your roof rack”. Chris added the lyrics in his Mike Skinner voice. Dom said “owners use car wash at own risk”.

REVERSE-A-WORD UPDATE:>>>
With filming just a week away, Chris and Dave are now on the look out for two contestants to appear and play against each other in the Challenge TV pilot of Reverse-a-word. The five pairs of audience tickets have now gone, with the winners being Oliver from Preston, Dan from Essex, Jodie from Gravenhurst, Dan from Birmingham and Russ from Derby (who was on the phone yesterday). Greyhead Will Kinder has taken the executive decision that Rachel and Aled will appear on the show as team captains. Dave wasn’t happy that he (creative director and executive producer of the show) hadn’t been consulted prior to this decision being made. Nevertheless, he said that the build up to Reverse-a-word’s TV debut is now becoming tremendously exciting. Chris said that the ideal contestants they're after are the people who don’t mind finding their own way down to the Bayswater London studios, playing overly extortionate prices for food, being treated like muck and then being chucked out onto the street without even any sign of a thank you. So if that is you then follow the link to Radio 1 Online here and fill out the form to be a contestant.

Daves Tedious Link
Salt-N-Pepa Push It - Salt-N-Pepa are both commonly dispensed with the use of shakers - Shakers rhymes with Quakers, who are famous for making oats - Oates first name John is the musical partner of Daryl Hall - Daryl Hall shares the same surname as Jerry Hall, who has kids with Mick Jagger - Mick Jagger collaborated on the 1985 hit Dancing In The Street with David Bowie - David Bowie had an alter ego called Ziggy Stardust, in the same way that Barry Humphreys has an alter ego called Dame Edna - The only other famous antipodean dame is Dame Kiri Te Kanawa, who is from New Zealand, the same as Zane Lowe - Zane Lowe shares the same surname as Chris Lowe from The Pet Shop Boys - Despite their name, The Pet Shop Boys don’t actually own a pet shop - Pet Shop nearly rhymes with ketchup, which is what you might put on your burger - Berger first name Patrik plays his club football for Portsmouth and his international football for the Czech Republic - The Czech Republic is in Europe - and it was from Europe that the forefathers of many American immigrants came, and this is perfectly clear from the surnames of a lot of famous Americans, such as David Schwimmer and of course Eddie Van Halen - Which links us to one of the best Tedious Link tracks ever done, Van Halen and Jump*

* Dave was receiving much love on the text messages for his choice of Jump by Van Halen. One said that he was a god, which Dave thought was “unnecessary and slightly overstated”. Chris rewound the song to play the instrumental break again - keyboards, symbol crash, drums, guitar then vocals. Him and Dave were having a major air guitar moment while Jules, Dom and news editor Toby Sealey all played air keyboards in the news studio next door.
