Chris began this morning with a big rant about the weather. He moaned about the fact that despite all the weeks big weather warnings, people are still surprised when it snows. There was thick snow in London yesterday at 4pm. Chris got up this morning and “Ice Skated” in to work as the gritters hadn’t been out on the roads near his Brixton maisonette. As host of yesterdays Grit Awards, Chris felt slightly offended that there was no grit on his road when he awoke today. Chris’s advice to everyone was to stay in bed until Monday. I wouldn’t take that as the official word from The Met Office though. Chris told everyone to take care of themselves on the roads - friendly, caring thoughts out of the bottom of his heart you might think. Not really as he said the radios in the hospitals might not be tuned to Radio 1 so they need as many people safe and listening on the road as possible. Chris then decided to give some more “advice” to all the school kids listening. He told them to tell their parents that Sara Cox had said their school was closed on the radio. Chris said they wouldn’t get in to any trouble whatsoever. Rachel wasn’t happy with him, put it that way. Dave read out texts from people who had tried Chris’s masterplan. Ally from Cannock had told his mum his school was closed but was now grounded after she rang it up and found out it wasn’t. Chris asked for people to ring in and record messages (like yesterday), this time saying whether they had to or didn’t have to go to school. These included a bus full of kids cheering (while on their way to school ironically) and one funny one from someone called Mike who said his school had been closed today, but no-one had bothered to tell him. As tomorrows show is live from the Toon, Dom decided to read out a list of schools closed in the Newcastle area (over the Grange Hill theme tune of course). Chris’s Irish mate Rossy from Radio Aire rang him up (he didn’t say his name on the air but gave enough clues to who it was) to say he was listening. His show starts at 10 and he had overslept, Chris said a bit ironic as today is the day where people are supposed to make extra time for their journey, not less. After chatting about schools being closed, the team somehow got into a link all about college and university. Chris as we all know left school at 16 and didn’t go to either. Dave did go to college (in Warrington) but his results weren’t good enough to get him into uni. Dom went to uni in Bournemouth, albeit for just 2 weeks. He was offered a job in a radio news room so quit, £1000 in debt after buying a big hi-fi and big TV. The link then spiralled out of all control into chat about Ceefax/Teletext. Chris talked about the jokes pages and how you have to press reveal, Dave said the only number he needs to know is 302 on BBC Ceefax (the football section).

MOYLES LIVE FROM NEWCASTLE:

There was a big kerfuffle after 8:30 about who’s taking how many bags with them on today’s big trip to the Toon. Chris, Dave, Dom and Exec Joe have one each. However, Rachel has 2, Juliette has 2 and Aled has 3. Chris wasn’t happy. Juliette had packed hair dryers, straighteners, her make up, FOUR I repeat FOUR pairs of shoes (including some plimsolls + some wellies), one scarf, one pair of mittens and two coats, one for the day and one to go out in. Loads of texts came in reminding Jules that Newcastle is the non coat wearing capital of the world and she can’t wear any when she goes out. Aled was taking his gym kit, his Roy Cropper coat, 2 pairs of speakers (don’t ask) and a Newcastle United top (to wear while sitting in the front of the truck tomorrow). Chris said that wearing that top will endear him a lot to the local public, especially the ones in “a tiny village called Sunderland” where Chris was suddenly planning to send him. The team are catching a train up to Newcastle later today and will be doing the show live from the North East, tomorrow morning between 6.55 and 10 on Radio 1.

I’M A CELEBRITY GET ME OUT OF HERE:
Chris watched it with Sophie last night and had made a few observations. Chris noticed the fact that in the opening credits, each contestant holds a cheesy pose for the camera. The shot of Alex Best (the ex-wife of George, universally famous for his well known alcohol problem) shows her turning around with a drink in her hand and raising it to the camera. Chris called her a cow and a sick bitch. Next to face the wrath of Moyles was Kerry *no coincidence Atomic Kitten made it big when she left* McFadden. Chris asked what the point of her being there was if she can’t or won’t do any challenges cos she’s scared. Chris’s final target was the Andremeister. Chris and Dave both agreed he is a (door) knob but gave him credit for completing the eel task last night. Dave said he was covered in eel slime afterwards but you couldn’t tell the difference from the normal gel on his hair. Chris talked about the mini-wobbler Dec threw while Ant was reading a link last night. He apologised and said some bug had just been on his neck. Chris used his Sky Plus to full effect, rewound and watched again. He said you could see a * climb up his top and onto his neck as Ant was reading from the autocue. I’m going entirely off what Chris says here as I haven’t watched a second of the series yet (mainly because I’m normally writing these reviews when it’s on).

ZANE LOWE LIVE FROM NEW YORK CITY:
Zane had been rudely awoken at about 4am NY time to chat to Chris about his show tonight. Chris was pleased by the fact it’s cold and snowing over there aswell. Chris did his Westwood impressions again. Zane said he shouldn’t try and imitate the big dog as there is “Only One Big Dog In The Kennel”. Dave said that was Digby. The rest of the conversation was pretty dull. Zane just plugged his show live from New York tonight at 7, featuring The Stills, The Killers, The Yeah Yeah Yeah’s, Dave Grohl and The Beastie Boys. You can LISTEN AGAIN to Zane’s show from NYC if you miss it by following the link from the Zane Lowe pages at Radio 1 ONLINE. Today’s Buzz Off offering was only the third so far to have lasted the full way, deservedly so aswell. De La Soul - The Magic Number was the tune from 1989. Dave buzzed on 2:19 and Aled on 2:38 (both for the purposes of the feature as nothing was happening). Rachel buzzed on 2:53 but the song made it to the end as less than 2000 texts had come in. While the next song from Maroon 5 was playing, Chris was listening to A Roller Skating Jam named Saturdays by De La Soul in his headphones. Chris played Blazin' Squad’s latest offering of bilge at 7.45, dropping in the Tim Westwood clips from CD:UK. Ten minutes later he played “2Play feat Raghav & Jucxi” (also crap). Chris moaned about the fact that they are both ruuubbbish but Dave said “It’s nice to have some calypso sounds on an icy morning”. Chris played the new Beenie Man record again. Bob from Stoke texted in to ask if Beenie Man was on a diet as he keeps shouting out “salad” in the song. Very funny if you listen closely.

RACHEL WEIGHTWATCHERS UPDATE:
Yesterday was Weekly Weigh-in Wednesday for the brummie tea-maker. Chris played in clips from Oliver (like glorious food etc) while Rachel revealed this week she’s lost....absolutely nowt. She’s not put on any either (Dave said she was a “non-mover”) but blamed the fact she lost nothing on the big bacon sarnie she had the other day.
