Batman, Fatman
Howdy Blog fans. Chris Moyles here.
So we're a few days into this new 'blog' system and today is the day that I have to write mine. From now on every Friday will be Chris Moyles Bog day. Not the catchiest of titles but what do you expect. I am out of practice. For the past couple of years I have managed to get out of having to write a blog. Every so often I would have no choice but to sit down and write some rubbish for the website, but now, as each member of the team has been allocated with a specific day to write, there really is no getting out of it. Oh how I would enjoy sitting in our daily morning after show meeting as Aled would ask:
"Who's doing the blog today"
"CARRIE" I would say loudly.
"I did it yesterday." Screams Carrie.
"Erm Dominic then." I add.
"Hang on I did it on Monday." Would be Dom's reply.
I'd look around the room and try and find somebody, anybody other than me, who would have to write that day's blog.
But now it looks as though those days are over, and so today, Friday 25th July in the year of our Lord 2008, I find myself stood in my kitchen typing away badly on my laptop so that a handful of people can read what I have to say.
Which isn't that much as the day is only half way through really.
We did the radio show this morning, which is always fun on a Friday because we get to do The Golden Hour. Apart from making the show feel shorter than normal, I get to play lots of records that I really like, and if you're a regular listener, you'll know that doesn't happen often. After a very quick after show meeting it was a quick trip to Warner Brothers to watch a screening of the new Batman movie 'The Dark Knight' which is brilliant. It's an amazing perk of the job that we not only get to watch movies, for free, before they're released, but in our own private screening that is just for us. These kind of things really help when you're getting up at 5.20am five days a week.
Now I'm back home and writing this for you to read. Sophie is watering her plants (don't ask), then it's a quick phone call with an old mate of mine about somewhere we both used to work, and then, it's running time.
As part of my 'It's not too late to look and feel great for 2008' fitness campaign has hit a bad patch with no running from me since Sunday. So I'm off to get my ill fitting shorts on and go for a 5 mile run...Lord help me.
So have a great weekend and please join us back on air Monday morning from 6.30.
(No, really, please do join us, we can't afford to lose anymore listeners!)
