Fast, Free and Easy

Oh Valentines Day. How we hate you. At some point in our lives, we've all hated Valentines - a holiday created solely to make single people feel even more lonely by rubbing it in their face.

Today on the show we focused on two elements - celebrating singledom and setting up two single Brightonians for a date tonight.

The latter was particularly fun... We took all our entries in "Be My Juicy Valentine" and had one guy, Ross (who describes himself as fast, free and easy), choosing between two genuinely lovely ladies - Tara and Zoe. He had 3 questions to work out which was the woman for him, and they were good questions. Firstly, what would you take on a desert island? Tara's promise of rubbing suncream into his back gave her an early advantage, but Zoe pulled it back with her magical experience of swimming with dolphins. That seemed to swing it as Ross had shared a similar experience and chose Zoe.

Not sure why he's crying, reckon he's done alright for himself with Talula

I felt dreadful condemning Tara to a night of loneliness, but alas she turned down my offer of watching Desperate Housewives on catch up together. Never mind. Zoe and Ross are going to Gar's Chinese Restaurant for a date tonight and you can find out how they get on tomorrow at midday on the show!

Just as we were putting a positive spin on being a single pringle today, muggins here gets a Valentines Card delivered. A card that upset me for two fundamental reasons:

I don't know whether I'm more disturbed or angry...

1) Do NOT, under any circumstance, buy me a card COVERED in glitter. I'm not a huge fairy (*ahem*).
2) What is the point of sending someone an 'anonymous' card if you're not going to give them so much as the smallest hint of a clue as to who the hell you are. I may as well send a card to "E.T., C/O The Moon".

Incidentally, if it was you who sent it, do let me know, we could get to know each other. Mine's a White Zinfandel.

Have a lovely Valentines whatever it is you get up to. And remember, how can anyone love you if you don't even love yourself? No wait, that's not right. Bugger it... single = super. On that note, I'm walking into the sea.

Love is in the air! Or is that just BO?

Hello you and welcome to a brand new week of my blog!

Hope you had a lovely weekend. If like me you live relatively central in Brighton, you probably missed out on the snow and instead were treated with a brown slushy mess. Seeing photos of people North of the Dyke building snowmen has almost made me long for snow. Almost.

And as snow constantly threatens to hit Brighton, Valentines Day creeps ever closer. For single pringles its a depressing time of year. We have 12 months of loved-up couples bragging about their gooey affection on facebook, so Valentines is frankly just rubbing salt in the wounds. Well fear not desperately lonely people - I could find YOU love this year. Yes you!

I could be match-making you with your soul mate on the big day and then sending you to the gorgeous Gars Chinese Restaurant for a meal on us. To enter, just head over to our website to play "Be My Juicy Valentine". Just call me Cilla. No, go on...


Loz popped in for Sporting Briefs.Once again I predicted the Albion's result incorrectly (intentionally) thus forcing them to win. It's a bizarre logic but when the stars align, my anti-predictions have always proved true. Just ask Gus. No, go on...

I attempted to get Loz to enter Be My Juicy Valentine with no joy. A happily married man for many years, he's also got a shortage of single friends, instead choosing to socialise with other couples. I've got no idea what they get up to, but Loz does regularly lose his keys after these 'get togethers'...

Loz was always more of a Mercedes girl

 And my brand new Record of the Week is by Stooshe (rhymes with Tooshee). They're a new girl band with attitude innit. Watch out Little Mix - these girls are as vanilla as strawberry ice cream. i.e. not very.

Their song "Love Me" is the radio friendly version (think Cee-Lo's "Forget Me" and you won't be far off), and features the man who loves to... feature - Travie McCoy. Here's the song below:



If you think you could be a Stooshe fan, they're playing at the main event of National Student Pride at the Brighton Dome on 25th February which yours truly will also be DJing at. Last year I had the 'privilege' of standing behind Joe McElderry for his 20 minute set. Let's hope the views better this time.
