Chris was feeling a bit sniffly at the start of the show this morning. He was getting irritated by the fact that one of his nostrils was blocked up and the other one was unblocked. Dave said that they always switch over when you’re sleeping, although one texter said that this was untrue as they switch automatically every 4 hours. Cue a fascinating early morning discussion on blocked nostrils. Chris and Dave were tucking into some chip butties at five to seven. Chris didn’t know what was more ridiculous - the fact that they’d been sent chip butties at five to seven, or the fact that they were actually eating them. Dave said that they weren’t quite done properly though and claimed that he was getting indigestion. Yesterday lunchtime day producer Will gave Chris some preview copies of a few new Xbox games to take home and try out. Chris played on them all afternoon. They included a snooker game, an indie car game and an MTV Music Generator game. This allows you to remix certain tracks by changing all of the different elements within them - bass, BV’s, drums, vocals etc. Chris said it was a slow process but very fulfilling when you’ve finished. There are tracks on there from Snoop Dogg and Outkast, but Chris spent two hours remixing Get Busy by Sean Paul. Dave called him Fatboy Fat. Chris said that he should really have dubbed off his mix and brought it into the show to play on the air. My perfect remix of that track would be to lower all volume levels to zero and then leave it there - perfect. After his afternoon Xboxing, Chris lounged around and watched loads of telly last night. He thought Big Brother was hilarious cos Marco was crying his eyes out in the diary room. I didn’t see it cos I was out watching the new Harry Potter film...rock n roll. Not that I’d have been watching anyway of course because I’ve promised not to watch BB this year *cough*. Dave didn’t see the show either last night so Dom got Chris the audio of Marco crying and he played it out on the air. Chris thought it was funny that the camp Big Brother was the one Marco was chatting to. When Marco said that he felt a bit alienated, Chris said “you should be used to that by now weirdo”. My thoughts exactly. Dave said that if Dom was more camp then he wouldn’t be a million miles away from Marco. Dom denied it. Chris said Marco and Aled were pretty similar in their levels of campness though:
Aled - Oh come on, there’s camp and then there’s camp
(Chris laughs)

Dom said that if they were talking about lookilikeys, Mike Skinner on the front of this months Jockey Slut magazine is a dead ringer for Dave. Dave wasn’t having any of it. Jockey Slut is a music magazine btw and not some kind of specialist publication. Chris said he found the Marco clip funny cos he likes laughing at other peoples despair, it makes him feel better. His girlfriend Sophie said she saw a guy trip over the kerb the other day. Dave said that is always good cos people turn back in disgust at the offending paving stone as if it wasn’t their fault. Rachel said that she trips over a lot when she’s walking and it isn’t a laughing matter. Chris said it was and added that she only trips over a lot cos she’s ditsy and gormless. Later on he also said that she was ugly and sexist (surely a case of pots and kettles if ever there was one). This was because she told him to play Dido and referred to her song as “one for the ladies”. Chris said that that comment implied Dido records were only enjoyed by thirty year old ugly single women who secretly deep down hate all men. A tad harsh methinks. Buzz Off this morning was a bit of a disaster to say the least. Chris chose to play Grandmaster Flash & Melle Mel with White Lines (Don’t Don’t Do It), which hit it’s peak UK chart position of number 7 back in July 1984. Dave said he’d always thought the record was rubbish, even when Duran Duran covered it, and he was first to buzz off after just 33 seconds. The song continued on without any vocals and Dave asked Chris if it was a 12 inch mix. Chris thought it was the original. He couldn’t check it off the air beforehand cos the others would have heard it. Rachel buzzed on 1:19 and Dom on 1:24, mainly due to the lack of any singing. This eventually came in with just over a minute left so Chris used the listeners vote to buzz it off after 1 minute 50. Dave felt as though he’d been cheated out of a Buzz Off track and demanded Chris picked another tune from the NOW compilation in front of him. He started playing a bit of one...
Dave - It’s a democracy
Chris - No, it’s Frankie Goes To Hollywood

Chris took it off more or less straight away cos of timings, although Dave and Dom wanted to hear more. Chris played a trail and Snow Patrol and made his first station ID at 7:27 (that means the first time he said “Radio 1”). That means he did over half an hour of the show without mentioning what station he was broadcasting on, which is something I doubt you’d normally find on any station in the UK (particularly your local tin pot channels anyway).

GETTING READY FOR PORTUGAL AND WHEN DOM <s>MEETS</s> DOESN’T MEET BEN:
As the show hit the air today, the story about the UK’s air traffic control system failing was just breaking. Although it was only down for an hour or so, Chris was wondering what would happen if the team had to drive to Lisbon next week and not fly there. Rachel thought it would be too claustrophobic and a complete nightmare. Dave agreed, and added that they would need to set off now if they wanted to make it over there on time. This time next week it’s the big airport final and Rachel has been shopping for her suncream. She’s got factors 25 and 30, which Chris found shocking. As Dave would say “safety first”. Rach claimed that she was an English rose and would burn out there. Chris did a funny impression of what he thinks she’ll be like by the pool next week. With just over a week to go till England play France in their opening Euro 2004 match, the St Georges flags are coming out of windows and are on pubs and cars across the country. Chris said it’s really exciting when football mania strikes like that, but he doesn’t half get sent some crap merchandise. The latest piece is the official singing England lion, whose left paw you press to hear him chant “Ole, Ole, Ole, Ole, Ole, Ole, England!!!”. Dave found it quite disturbing and said it sounded like the chipmunks were chanting it.
Dave - If that’s the official product, imagine some of the muck that’s on the market. D’ya know what I mean?
(Dom, Jules and Chris laugh)

Chris played Ja Rule and fat arsed Lopez and got on to the subject of one of her ex Ben Affleck. Dom was meant to interview Ben today about his and J. Lo’s new film Jersey Girl, released in the UK on June 18th. Unfortunately though, Ben has the bronchitis and won’t be able to meet Dom today.
Chris - I hate the bronchitis
Rachel - Isn’t that where J. Lo’s from?
Dave - No she’s from the Broncs

guh huh. In Ben’s absence, Dom has been offered another member of the cast to interview. It’s not J. Lo though, nor that hot piece of ass Liv Tyler, it’s 9 year old Racquel Castro who plays Jen and Ben’s daughter in the film. Dom is meeting her later today, armed with his full set of questions for Ben. Chris said it will be interesting to hear her responses when Dom asks her “Do you miss Jennifer Lopez’s big fat bottom?” and “How was it for you working with Matt Damon on Good Will Hunting?”. Tune in tomorrow for the answers.

(Ben who Dom won’t be interviewing, and Racquel who he will)
Chris has got a photoshoot today (he couldn’t say what for) so is trying on a few new suits later. Dave said that slightly worryingly he can now fit back into one of his old suits. He thinks he needs a new one though. Chris said he should get a tailor to come and measure him up - not John, Roger or Andy Taylor though. Other stuff today included Chris dropping a pile of cassettes in the middle of a news bulletin, Dave and Chris thinking a trail for The Rock Show with Mary Anne Hobbs said “We’ll be having sex with Metallica” when it actually said “We’ll be having sets from Metallica” and Chris boring us all to death with more corporate Sport Relief stuff.

TWO NEW PARODIES:>>>>
It’s been quite a bit since Chris’s last parody, so it was no surprise when two new ones turned up on the same show this morning. The first was Chris’s take on the Eamon - Frankee saga that has now occupied top spot in the charts since about 1984. Finally it looks like we’ll have a new number one this weekend (admittedly that Mario Winans sh*te), but Chris saw it as a cause for celebration and sang a song in tribute. It’s not his best parody ever by a long way, but it’s sentiments are what I agree with most. I have transcripted the full lyrics by hand and in time I will transfer them onto computer and e-mail them over to Chris Harris, who’ll add them to the Lyrics page of the site. For now though, here’s the parody’s chorus:
(Chorus - sung by Moyles to tune of Eamon’s F**k It)
F*ck your songs,
They don’t mean sh*t now,
We don’t give a f*ck if you’re having a row,
It’s all so fake and we don’t believe,
So just f*ck off,
We want you to leave

Chris is not the first Radio 1 DJ to have done a parody of this of course. Colin and Edith have done one exchanging insults to each other (it’s quite funny) and you can hear it here or watch a specially made video for the song here.

The second parody of the day was Dale Winton’s unique take on 99 Problems by Jay-Z. If you recall last week, I thought Chris might get Culshaw in to record it but wondered if he was too big for all that now. I am glad to say the answer is no as Culshaw did record a version of it. Granted, it’s only 48 seconds long but it’s still funny. Same rules apply as for the above one - I will e-mail the lyrics over for Harris to put up on the lyrics page (give me some time though). The best line:
Dale Winton rapping - All I ask of you is one simple thing, get down yo mother and kiss my ring

WHERE’S ALED: DAY 11>>>>
ImageImageImage
(Aled and today’s winner Chris outside Belfast City Hall)
PASSWORD - “Aled, let’s drive to Portugal”
LOCATION - Outside Belfast City Hall in...(you’ve got it)...Belfast!!
CLUES - In a city, my flight time from yesterday was one hour and I’m standing next to some gates. Unused Clues - They finished building the Titanic here, the local library was established in 1788 and this city achieved it’s city status in 1888.
WINNER THROUGH TO THE AIRPORT FINAL - Spurs fan Chris Stevenson, a chatty electrician from Bangor. He spotted Aled in double quick time today, before he’d even stopped talking in fact. Moyles said finding Aled was made a lot easier by a clue Jones gave out on Jo Whiley’s show yesterday. Competition winner Chris said it had been the “outside some gates” clue that had given it away to him though. Earlier on, Chris (Moyles) misheard Aled when he gave out that clue:
Chris - Outside some what?
Aled - Gates
Chris - Oh, gates. Sorry I misheard you (Dave & Aled laugh)...I thought you had a few pals with you


A BRILLIANT EDITION OF CARPARK CATCHPHRASE:
NICOLA an account manager for a print company in Harrow 2
NOAH a painter and decorator from Bewd in Cornwall 1

**There was a few great great moments in today’s Carpark Catchphrase but here’s just a couple for you:
(Chris is asking the final question but stops cos a dog starts barking in the background)
Dave - Is that a dog?
Noah - Yeah it’s a dog...(continues barking)...they’re coming to get me I think, quick hurry up
Chris - What...”the dogs are coming to get you”?
Noah - Yep
(Chris plays Roy Walker Clip) Roy - It’s the wrong answer I’m afraid
(Dave and Noah laugh)
**

**(After Nicola has won)
Chris - Well done Nicola!! Congratulations, how do you feel?
Nicola - Erm, I dunno...I think I stole all of his answers really
(uncomfortable pause)
Chris - OK, “fine” would have done. Listen have a good day at work...
(Dave laughs)

Daves Tedious Link
The Charlatans North Country Boy - The Charlatans are fronted by Tim Burgess - Tim Burgess shares the same christian name as Tim Rice, who in turn shares the same surname as Anneka Rice, who used to present Treasure Hunt before being replaced by Annabel Croft - Annabel Croft is good at tennis, as is Tim Henman who is now through to the semis of the French Open - “Open” is a sign you might see on the door of a shop, as is “push” - Push It was a big hit for Salt N Pepa - Salt and pepper are collectively known as condiments - Condiments shares many of the same letters as “conditioner”, which is something that you put in your hair - Hair can be both thick and thin, and in that respect shares something in common with bread - Bread and fishes both featured in the bible, as did donkeys, frankincense, saints and apostles - and if you had a load of saints and apostles and then all of the apostles decided they’d had enough and wanted to go home, you’d be left with a group of people who were “all saints” - Which links us to All Saints and I Know Where It’s At

TEDIOUS LINK FLAW
*Kenneth Kendall presented Treasure Hunt, not Anneka Rice

- I’m also annoyed by yet ANOTHER repeated tedious link this year. Has Dave run out of songs or something? I Know Where It’s At is a good record but there’s loads more great records out there that Dave just seems to ignore, in favour of going back to his old reliable choices.

VICKY MARSDEN'S LAST SHOW ON RADIO 1
Vicky (by far the most underrated presenter on Radio 1) is doing her last show tonight before leaving the station. The new evening schedules leave no place for her so she's on from 2 till 4am (as per usual) tonight - please catch it if you can as she is very funny and much undervalued by Parf Daddy. Why the hell she's still on that stupid slot after 4 years I've no idea. Anyway, listen to Vicky tonight @ 2. Thank you please.
