"He said if I don't hug him, he'll eat me"
On today's Sony Award Winning Show ('Best Show on North Street between 11 and 3pm, 2011') we celebrated National Bird Day.
First of all, I sent producer Jonno out onto the pigeon-infested streets of Brighton to find out the city's favourite bird. Secondly, we tested the bird-based knowledge of the city in our quiz "Name That Bird". Listen again, and play along below:
Also today, we talked about Simon Holt - a horse-racing commentator who accidentally posted a message to hundreds of followers on his twitter: "oh and by the way I want your hot body tonight babe xxx". It was meant for me, course.
What is it with horse-racing presenters making an ass of themselves (ass, geddit?) First, we had Clare Balding and her hilarious humiliation of a jockey, when straight after winning the biggest race in the world, she said 'Liam, just give us a big grin to the camera. No, no, let's see your teeth. He hasn't got the best teeth in the world, but you can afford to go and get them done now if you like.' To be fair, they are hideous...
Then we had John McCririck who, well, acted like John McCririck, since birth:
We asked for your most embarrassing accidental twitter/facebook incident. Funniest was from Dave who manages both his personal AND work twitter account (you can see where this is going) and he decided, for some unknown reason, to post up a photo of him wearing his wife's bra... to the work account. Fail.
Did remind me of a funny Shakedown-related story. Matt Priest who's my business partner and all round pimp, asked our web developers to "show him the ropes" on twitter. A few days later, feeling like the next Bill Gates, Matt decided to post up a story of a seagull massacre in Saltdean (again, why?!). Brilliantly, he posted it to the Shakedown account, and for a brief while some 1000 festival-goers were of the opinion that Shakedown was run by a bunch of bird-haters.
It is, but no-one needed to know.
