I found her on Twitter the other day. Can't believe what a big deal she's become.

"A woman in the US has made headlines after complaining about cricket messages sent to her Twitter account, which is named @theashes."

Basically her nickname is 'The Ashes' and people talking about The Ashes on Twitter have mistakenly been sending messages to her such as: 'Hi, what time does @theashes start today?'

Full story here

My problem now is that she seems to be getting a bit carried away with everything and has now started printing T-shirts with her 'catchphrase' - "I'M NOT A FREAKING CRICKET MATCH".

I preferred it when she was less aware of it. It's gone to her head. Might buy one of those T-shirts though...

Simply, I would like to know where you are in the world and whether you've got snow. Getting quite excited about it - much like I used to when I was 10. I think I'm still 10.

Send a photo of the snow as well if you fancy, I'll shove some of them up on this blog...Your back garden could become famous. Well, you know.

Old before my time...

 I just passed a hardware shop and actually stopped and admired a standup dustpan and brush:

It would be useful, I think.

Also, who agrees that my trainers are too white. They hurt my eyes.

Mobile phone etiquette...

I hate it when you try and arrange something on text and the person rings you straight back. It's CLEAR that I want to communicate over text, so why are you ringing?!

(please note this amazing photo I found on the BBC photo database)

Also, they KNOW that your phone is in your hand and think you'll answer. I never do. 

What are your phone etiquette pet hates? Leave them below please...

Here's another of mine:

- People who withhold their number. (I will NEVER answer your calls)

This is a chap called Connor, he won the Teen Hero award for overcoming adversity over the last year. He was involved in a very serious fire and was rewarded on the afternoon with the accolade and a hug from Katy Perry at the Radio 1 Teen Awards.

I think it's fair to say Katy scrubs up quite well:

It's OK to say that publicly because my girlfriend quite fancies her too.

Songs to pray to...

Yesterday on the show I started off with Paramore - 'Playing God' and Plan B - 'Prayin'. Some keen listeners may have thought that the show was set to be a religion special. 

This wasn't the case, however, people did start sending in other songs that could have featured. Such as:

- REM - Losing My Religion

- Bon Jovi - Livin' on a Prayer

- Faithless - God Is A DJ

Feel free to add some more below...

OK, I hadn't thought about this. Thank goodness for this sign otherwise I would have forgotten. 

I understand there will be many Americans/Canadians celebrating this in the UK soon, but enough to warrant a sign?! A WHOLE SIGN? I want a sign to remind me to buy milk - I always forget to buy milk.

  1. I saw Jackass 3D last night. It's brilliantly ridiculous. It's one of those films that you have to see. The most disgusting thing I've ever seen features in the film. It involves Steve-o, bungee ropes and a portable toilet.

Johnny Knoxville joins me on the show from 3pm.

*It's an 18 Certificate film so please don't try any of the stunts at home...
