Today was the day after the night before. It was the big Radio 1 Xmas party/Station photo at Pacha in London last night. Chris said the reason they had the two together was because the actual photo itself took so bloody long that by the time they had finished it, it was almost Christmas Eve anyway. Chris had a croaky voice but was OK overall (as were Rachel & Aled) but Dave was completely off the ball. Chris said Dave got to bed around 7 this morning but he would neither confirm or deny this. He did say he went straight to the spare room when he got in and it was obvious that him and Emma had some kind of falling out. Dave even had a packet of polo mints on his way home to try and reduce his alcoholic stench, but no avail. Aled went home early and Chris said ‘shockingly with a girl’. Aled wouldn’t comment further.

Chris and Dave were of course DJing at the party last night. They were first on at 9.15. Rachel and Aled both enjoyed the set but Rachel said she had to go around trying to get people to dance, like a mum. Dave admitted that the audience had been a little slow on the uptake. Seb Fontaine congratulated Chris on his set, although Chris’s impression of him made him sound like Michael Greco. Chris thought him and Dave were so good last night that they might get a residence at that place. Dave said ‘I think it’s a case of when rather than if’. Chris and Dave’s set included delights from Culture Club, MC Hammer, Wham - Freedom and Dexys Midnight Runners - Come On Eileen. John Peel was next on after Chris and Dave. Dave said the moment will live for him forever - Peel trying to mix his first record into their last, Hey Mickey by Toni Basil. Dave also enjoyed the moment during the intro to Freedom by Wham, when Chris shouted ‘Come on 1Xtra’ to all the 1Xtra posse at the bar. Dave said it was met by a chorus of disapproval. Chris also resisted the temptation to turn into Ray Von by saying ‘Shabba’.

Chris didn’t spend all night at the party. Midway through he popped to the pub opposite for a pint with friends. He told Dave that he had to stay with ‘the normal people’ for a bit of the time. Dave said it was good to see he was ‘keeping it real’. On Chris’s return to the club, he was taken to one side by a bouncer who questioned his attitude and had a few words for him. Chris said they made up and shook hands, despite Rachel’s claims she sorted the bouncer out for Chris. Other things from last night, Chris said (as usual) he was approached by a drunken female member of Radio 1 staff who he’d never met before, trying to talk to him. Apparently she apologised for the state she was in via e-mail this morning. Another person in a state was Disco Dick (aka Richard Murdock aka Count Drunkula - infamous ex-Saturday Show producer) from breakfast. Chris said Murdock was doing his usual quiet thing, before strutting his stuff on the dancefloor like John Travolta on acid. Then later on, Chris bumped into Murdock complaining about the lack of digital camera batteries in Sainsburys as he had fancied a little mid-party excursion to the shops. At the point Chris was telling this story, Murdock happened to be walking past the studio - Rachel and Aled broke out laughing so I presume some kind of gesture was made in Chris’s general direction. Dominic Bryne also appeared to still be a bit merry after last night as he burst into cartoon voices after the 3:30 news. Him, Chris and Dave are going out again tonight so expect more of the same tomorrow.

Coxy was absent again from breakfast this morning. Surprisingly not due to a hangover according to Chris. He said she is actually doing some work. It’s probably for similar reasons that Chris won’t be on air this Friday, possibly due to them filming some stuff for Radio 1’s new TV adverts that go out in January. Colin and Edith filled in and Colin was apparently slagging off Chris’s DJing. Aled got the audio of it and Chris played it out. Murray complained that Chris only played about a minute of each song and kept talking (no change there then). Chris took the mick out the way Murray says ‘Ultimately’ and said it must be the word Colin is trying to learn this week. He also said he couldn’t handle his drink at all. Off the back of this, Chris decided to read out a selection of anti-Murray texts. Chris said ‘he was rude, cheeky..’ (Dave interrupted) ‘ ..and Irish’. Chris asked why that was a bad thing and asked Dave to explain himself. Dave said no and decided to take back his comment straight away. Chris said he does like Colin really - he said after all he’s just a thinner, younger and less talented version of himself.

Chris has been asked by The Sun to give a message of good luck for England ahead of Saturday’s Rugby World Cup final against Australia. Nick in the Radio 1 Press Office also wanted Chris to give a quote. Chris settled for ‘As someone who knows very little about rugby and doesn’t understand the rules, I shall be cheering England on and I hope that they score lots of goals’. Chris played the new Big Brovaz single. He said he was sure that everyone’s opinion of it was the same as his. This won't be a surprise but it was crap. Chris broke his phone last night by dropping it in his flat again. He said it bounced at least 6 times and now he can’t close it properly. Luckily he had been sent a special games phone a couple of days ago, which is now Chris’s temporary phone. He doesn’t like it though and just wants a normal one. His phone went off during a news intro, causing Chris to complain about the choice of ringtones on it. They were all rubbish R’n’B beats and Chris said he just wanted one that went ring-ring. Dave said that maybe ‘Aled 5 Phones Jones’ could help. Aled said he’s only got 4 phones now, not 5. Chris’s new phone did have one advantage - a sound recorder. Chris used it to record Dave snoring at the hotel bar last night. Dave - ‘I admit I do snore when I’m tired...well actually when I’m asleep normally’. Borderline genius. Dave said he was perky but replace that with pissed. Chris said he could use Dave’s snoring as his ringtone if he wants, but instead recorded a message of himself saying ‘ring-ring’.

Rachel was feeling hungry (as usual) after 4 o'clock. Aled did a McDonalds run for the team (Dave had already had one McDonalds today). Aled almost got a punch from Chris because when he was asking what people wanted, Chris said ‘a milkshake please’. Aled said ‘just the one?’. He tried to justify himself badly. Rachel put off her Weightwatchers weigh-in that was meant to be this morning after the party last night. Chris said she was just having one McChicken Sandwich instead of two to make up for it.

I cant blinking find Wednesdays tape but it wasnt much cop anyway. If I recall correctly, they did more International Hello Im Listening as it was the second leg of the European qualifier. Chris won again.
