We're On The Move


So please call us on our temporary number: 07717 828139


It's sunny and warm, and while we could be lazing in the park, or sipping Pimms as we watch the tennis, we're not... Instead, we're up to our eyes in boxes as we embark on an office move.

As a result, some of you might have had trouble getting us on the phone in the past couple of days. Until we've kicked the phone company into shape, it's probably best to reach us individually on the following numbers:

Jake: 07798 790681
Emma or Ellie: 07739 127361
Matt: 07717 828139
Alex: 07789 772467
Fran: 07717 818801

Thanks for bearing with us.

Arqiva Commercial Radio Awards


The Arqiva Commercial Radio Awards: a chance for commercial radio to celebrate their achievements in tough times, without Radio 3 popping up to spoil the party. And what a party?! Friday night's ceremony was the first time the awards had been held in the evening, and it's fair to say the experiment was a success... to the extent that one BBC executive, there on special invitation, was heard to utter 'these are better than the Sonys aren't they?'...

A-Ha's set went down a storm, and when, on talkSPORT winning Station of the Year (1 million>), Alan Brazil suggested everyone should celebrate, he wasn't ignored!

Kids Go Free


You can't move for special offers at the moment. If it's not a voucher code deal, it's 2-for-1 in the shops, but car manufacturer Mitsubushi is taking freebies to a new level in New Zealand, by offering a free goat to anyone who buys one of its Triton pick-ups.

The motor giant will run the offer until August in a bid to help boost the rural economy, and stave off the recession. MMNZ general manager of sales and marketing Peter Wilkins said: "Goats improve farm productivity by providing an environmentally friendly defence against noxious weeds and they’re a lot cheaper than toxic sprays." He added that there was also money to be made from their milk and fleeces.

Those who are less than enthusiastic about a new career as a goatherd can instead opt for a 'no-goat' package that includes an extended warranty.

Desperately sea-king a mate...


It’s a lonely hearts ad with a difference... a government official on Cocos Island in the Indian Ocean is seeking a mate for a single male dugong. ‘Kat’ appears to be the only dugong, or sea cow, in the island’s waters, and is said to be desperately searching for a mate. As a result, the island’s authorities are appealing to Australia’s government to help, with the idea of flying in a harem of females from the Northern Territory.
