Hey you! How's things? Really? Oh dear. Well, there's no point worrying. I'm sure it'll dry up and drop off eventually. But listen, forgive me for changing the subject, but...

On last Saturday's show we innovated a brand new type of Black Squadron command: the Photo Challenge. We asked our trusty, battle-scarred early morning live listeners to take a photo on a theme and send it to us as quickly as possible. The theme was "POLTERGEIST ATTACK!" and the Squadron responded with extraordinary speed and creativity.

Below, we present a selection of these photos for your viewing pleasure. Remember, these pictures are not winners in any way.

Because this was NOT a competition. As you well know, competitions are disgraceful and a dangerous, subversive threat to the integrity of the Big British Castle. This is merely a representative sample (of the best ones). Anyone who calls this a competition or behaves in a competitive way will be snatched from the street and rushed to the Castle dungeons in a potato sack where they will be tortured by Vernon Kaye until they learn better.

Enjoy!

When the call came you were ready. Standing proud, side to side with your fellow Squadron members. With a pan on your head. We salute your efforts, consider yourselves promoted to Elite Squadron.

We asked for your help in putting together the A&J Cinema Manifesto - a list of improvements whilst watching films that cinema chains MUST take notice of. Have a listen, see if you agree and please feel free to add further suggestions in the comments section below.

Here are some of your suggestions so far:

Cinemas should have headphone sockets in the seats. (Gary Chamberlain)

When the film is on, the cinema should be engulfed in utter darkness. The only light in the room should be from the projector. (Tom in Loughborough)

All popcorn should be crushed and chewed so that when eaten, it does not disrupt the film. (Paul from Maidenhead) Sexy people should feed it to you. (Adam & Joe)

People must clap and cheer when the film certificate is shown at the beginning of a film to show their excitement. (Anon, possibly a cinema manager...)

Check out this wonderful creation from Slack Squadron member Janine Shroff. Her talents as an llustrator and web designer are apparent in this handy guide to Adam and Joe's 6 Music show.
