"Hello, I can't take your call right now, bore off!"

Happy Mondays! For two reasons... 1) The band reformed today and 2) Apparently this is the happiest Monday of the year due to post-Christmas pay checks and summer holiday bookings. Anyone else struggling to believe this?

Perhaps I'm just a tad tired and grouchy. Muggins here stayed up till 4am watching wrestling - yes, wrestling - of the WEE variety. What a disgusting waste of £14.99 that was...

Boring / robotic voicemail messages was the main topic of the day in honour of Inane Answer Machine Messahe Day (who makes these up?). We attempted to turn Brighton's inane voicemails into INSANE ones, or at least hald-interesting ones. The two main culprits are the robotic "welcome to the O2 voicemail..." and "hi, this is Steve, leave a message". Why even bother, seriously? I changed mine to the classic wind-up where the message pretends you've picked up the phone and start a conversation - something I fall for hookline and sinker every single time.


Guy - of Breakfast Show fame - had a pretty good one, where he rambles on for a while about being too busy with "show business" to answer his phone. He wishes.


My favourite goes to my mum though, who is still getting to grips with the 'voicemail' technology and has thus had this message for a good 6 months...


Also today, we launched a new Album of the Week - Lana Del Rey and her chirpily titled "Born to Die". We'll see if the rest of the album is as uplifting as the two singles released thus far, but few can deny her haunting voice. And slightly intoxicated performances based on the below...



Finally, we talked driving, and it turns out women are in fact BETTER... at parking. By better, I mean more 'legally astute', insofar as they abide by the rules where as men just half-arse it and park wherever they can. Makes sense to me
