Time for a Trump?
School run complete, first coffee almost complete and Ken just starting. Not a bad start to the day really. We had a game in the car-who complains first about the sunroof being open? Its fun, you should try it. And then see who is off sick first with a raging cold.
Knackered again after recording the penultimate "Act Your Age" for Radio 4 at the Comedy Cafe in Shoreditch last night. Tom O'Connor was on the oldies team and was fantastic, every bit as sharp as he ever was. And a great performance too from fellow scouser John Bishop. Show two goes out tonight but clashes with Drivetime so, if I may be so bold, catch up on iplayer later. Thanks.
Today we welcome Peter Serafinowicz on after 6, just confirmed as Paul McCartney in a remake of "Yellow Submarine", and yes of course he will be asked to repeat that awesome Terry Wogan impression of his.
Plus as you can never have too much alliteration, lets have a trumpet Tuesday! Hits with the trumpet for song 1 please.
See you at 5...

At 10:25 26th Jan 2010, Spikey Claus wrote:An RAC spokesperson today branded Simon Mayo's new Drivetime Show on Radio 2 as "grossly irresponsible" in encouraging drivers to 'air-perform' instruments during the show whilst driving. Various ne'er-do-wells using monikers such as BabyDriver, TortieCat, NicRolastic and an avuncular Reverend David have been warned of the dangers of such activities. Counter spokesperson Spikeydog, on behalf of bloggers on the Show's website, stated that the air-players are only placing their self-esteem at risk, as they would only dream of engaging in such activities whilst at a standstill or on the M25.

Besides, I can remember when Gino was in the charts and a certain team won the FA cup owing to a wonderful header by the man who was thense forward known as Gino - on the day they had the parade the song was echoing out of every pub along the route.

When I started "following" Russell Brand on Twitter he only had about 200 followers and used to reply, tweet regularly etc. Now he has thousands and thousands of followers.
Best thing for me on Twitter was the "conversation" I had with Jane Goldman about the craft of writing. We were tweeting for about half an hour and she was wonderful. A true star, and inspiration.
The blog community on the other hand is more touchy feely friendly. And not limited to 140 characters!

Let's all send a "Go Rev" for a Thought of The Day spot on Mr Mayo's DriveTime Show on Radio 2 FM. Available on most good radios, and some rubbish ones as well.
Looking forward to the show we al love Simon!
