Happy Radio
Morning glove wearers. I have 3 left hand brown ones, 2 right hand ones and many I have honestly never seen before in my life. Hence my appearance at a department store glove stand where a punch up was imminent. The last fur lined ones had gone apparently. Anyway everyone seemed to be hunkering down for a long dark winter. Maybe the cuts had something to do with it. So today please, you're most cheerful, optimistic songs are needed. Russell Howard's "Good News show" is back on TV too. So the happiest songs you know are in order, the ones that make you walk in a jaunty manner, smiling at strangers etc.
I told you Taylor Swift had lovely hair and you can see the evidence here:
Nigel offers us Indonesian Sticky Spare Ribs tonight-let me hear you say Amen!
Have an extremity-covered Thursday. See you at 5.05
Watch the videos of Taylor Swift performing her current single plus a Coldplay cover.

Simon, the consensus from your focus group of ever-devoted bloggers is that yesterdays show was a wee bit lacking. Was your mind wandering elsewhere .....? Milan praps?
Will think of more happy songs and report back accordingly, coz that's the kinda bird I am!
