Breakfast Blog
Have you ever wondered if they listen?Today on the Peter Gordon Breakfast show at Eagle Radio, PG and myself were talking about how very common it is to talk to inanimate objects! I do it all the time – the kettle, the plants, the car – in fact whatever will stay still long enough to listen! Somewhere in my mind I do think they hear me, they just can’t answer back. After all, a bit of friendly encouragement never did anything any harm did it, that’s the way I see it and it helps me get a few things off my chest at the same time. Now, before you think PG has finally sent me over the edge, let me just say these conversations only last 2-3 mins max, it’s not like I sit on my sofa talking into space all evening. So I urge you, if you have 5 mins today to discuss some of life's questions with your kettle, then do it ( make sure no one else is around of course), it could be a turning point – albeit either to insanity or a less cluttered mind - but you’ll come away a different person. Happy chatting Posh Al xx Tue, 19 Aug 2008 09:42:00 +0000 |
Posh’s panto palava…For those of you that listen to Eagle Radio's Breakfast Show you will remember that last year I played Queen of the Munchkins in Aldershot's Panto "The Wizard of Oz" which was great fun, a real blast but what you may not know is that for the entire run and longer my fellow work colleagues mocked me mercilessly for the publicity shot that had been used in the programme, our website, the posters, basically anywhere that was deemed necessary and I looked like a small cheesy rodent with a crown grinning up at people!. I was mortified but only really had myself to blame; its my face and I pulled it. So this year I was offered the part of the Mermaid and Mrs Darling & because Mrs Darling only appears briefly the main character focus would be the singing mermaid, which then means all the publicity shots would be of me as a mermaid-think not much on top and a fish tail! I thought about this properly when I was offered the role I would have started going to the gym to prepare myself for the semi nakedness – but no, it got to 6 o clock the night before and I’d forgotten and then was so upset that I’d forgotten my midriff (the least favourite part of my body) was going to be on show for the whole of Surrey and Hampshire that I took to eating cheese and wine for dinner… There I was standing in The Princes Hall Aldershot when Edward-marketing genius-Haversham produced what can only be described as the perfect costume for a mermaid – but ONLY if you look like Darryl Hannah. Damn and blast for cheese and wine…I spent a good half hour plastering my face in blue and green make up with the half hearted thought that if my face was covered in glittery make up then it detract from my midriff area… The results came back today and I have to say the costume doesn’t look half bad but the gym is definitely on my list of things to do for the next 4 months - Darryl Hannah will eat her tail come December…..I hope.

Step by step baby…I can’t believe it – after Take That reforming I didn’t think I could hear anything better, but I have – well it’s not better as my allegiance and fan love will always lie with take That, BUT….I did adorn my bedroom walls with posters of New Kids on the Block when I was 13/14 and now There were 3 boy bands in my life and each represented a different stage in my discovery of boys. Bros took my virgin boy band’s heart; I joined their fan club, so was a Brosette and I had a few posters on my walls and loved Matt – but it was more of a crush than the fantasy world of New Kids I found myself in about a 18 months later; I was obsessed, as were all my friends; my walls were literally covered in pictures of the band, I used get up extra early on a Saturday and Sunday and watch the New Kids cartoon and I would religiously watch or record anything they were on and I do mean religiously – much to my parents annoyance. My friends and I also had our own little world where we all paired off with different members of the band (I was saddled with Danny; who as much as I really liked him he wasn’t the one for me, that was Jordan, but my best mate ‘baggsed’ him- Gutted) and they were the first band I saw in concert, about 3 times in the end. When NKOTB ended I was very upset, but they were the seeds of my love for boys and when Take That came along I was ready to embrace them fully and in a slightly more mature manner – no posters on the wall, no fan club membership, just pure and utter adulation and the belief that one day Mark Owen would be my husband (yes I know, me and the rest of the female population!). I wasn’t alone in my fantasy world, thank goodness, my best friends joined me and I can assure you, when they split up the world ended for us – for a few days at least.

A life less ordinary...After an extremely busy weekend, and two weeks of Love Bus pub quizzes, I was very pleased indeed to have an evening in last night. I caught up on a few TV programmes including Top Gear which continues to be one of my favourite TV programmes, even though I hate cars – strange! I also watched the highlights of the Federer Nadal final, what an incredible match. I now find myself without the green green grass of Wimbledon to fill my empty afternoons, so will have to do the washing that I’ve put off for a fortnight! Tonight I’m off to see Evita at the Woking New Vic, so I shall post my review of the show tomorrow morning. I’m really looking forward to it actually, I know the music very well, but it’s one of the few shows I’ve never seen on stage. Plus, it means free wine at the press reception!

I’m not a festival going kind of gal but......Guilfest was the exception. After years of watching my younger sister getting wet cold and ill during and after the various festivals she decides to attend – I thought they weren’t really my bag and weeing in a portaloo which had been used by hundreds before me was certainly not my idea of fun – however this year is the year of the brave so when PG asked me if I wanted to help out on the Saturday of the festival– I said yes with a big smile on my face and started preparing my first festival outfit! For those of you that heard the Breakfast show last Friday as we broadcast from Guilfest, you’ll know that particular area of planning went somewhat array – white linen trousers and black slip on shoes- not the best idea; Saturday was much better thought out; pink crocs and jeans – good! So as I was wandering around the festival with a little drinky in hand and observing the festival shenanigans I came across Royworld on the Ents 24 stage, very good they were too – loving his voice – moving off from there, Kula Shaker were strutting their stuff on the Commercial Radio main stage and how good they did strut; Crispin Mills with his red jeans on and his rock n roll floppy blond hair…..next up was the Surrey Ad stage where Raygun and The Agitators were performing and perform they did – what a lead guy – very much the showman and the tunes were rocking our poorly attended tent like no other as I sat on our hay bales & wondered how anyone could were such skinny jeans and still be able to mount the front of the stage: one to watch though, so keep your eyes & ears peeled…..All in all I very much enjoyed myself & even the loos were friendly – just! Verdict; I will be back next year… Posh Mon, 07 Jul 2008 14:35:00 +0000 |
I’m late, I’m late... For a very important date!I woke up late today and I don’t just mean late, I mean 15 mins before I had to be at work. So as I screeched round the house putting my pants on & just about tickling my teeth with the brush - my greasy old hair, at this point, wasn’t top of mind, but when I caught sight of myself in the mirror as I sprinted out of the house I knew there was only one thing to be done; to at least try and hide some of my dirty locks– get the hairband! I raced upstairs grabbed the piece of material and ran to my car. When I arrived at work, just about on time, the hairband was in place. I felt a little groggy but overall thought my appearance was ok considering, until Mr Peter Gordon got into the studio and asked "What on earth is that piece of material on your head?" I replied "what do you think it is – it’s holding my hair back and it’s a band – it’s a hair band!" Stupid boy! Then a little under an hour later I was told that Wavy Davy thought I looked like "Superwoman, or Wonder Girl or whoever that lady was that used to turn around and change into her costume." "Wonder Woman Wavy!" I have to say I was mildly flattered that I was being compared to a 70’s icon – even if it was for my blue hairband, which looks nothing like the golden crown that Lynda Carter wore, but still the comparison was there –until the lovely Wavy Davy said "Only cos of the headband Posh not cos you look like her or anything…" "Oh Right. Thanks Wavy." I replied, as I scampered off to the bathroom to put my make up on, realising that no amount of slap would help me look like a 70’s icon, but it would make feel human for a few hours at least… Note to self – get another alarm clock!

Lies, Lies and More Lies…Parents - You can’t live with them you can’t live without them! And they tell white lies to make you do things they think is right… This morning we discussed things that parents tell you… I mentioned the fact that my mum used to tell me not to pick dandelions because I’d wet the bed, I still have no idea why she told me that; they’re weeds for goodness sake – who cares – maybe it was just my destructive nature at that time; whatever the reason, I did go through a stage of having ‘accidents at night’ so I wonder if that coincided with my dandelion pickings – oh well I didn’t keep a diary of these incidents so I shall never know. Another thing my mum used to tell me was that the stalks of mushrooms were poisonous, so when I chopped them up I had to thrown them away. She now denies this absolute fib but I have no idea why she told me that and nor does she. I can understand why parents fib to their children, I would imagine sometimes it’s the only way of getting them to do what you ask, but how telling it is that we all still remember those little white lies & some of them even shaped the person we are today – I still don’t eat mushroom stalks & can’t even look at a dandelion without an accident in the night! Keep dry! Posh x Thu, 12 Jun 2008 08:46:00 +0000 |
A Change is a good as a rest…No it’s not! PG and I were talking today about things we love that have changed over the years…of course this revolved around food… I kicked things off by saying I had recently had a mint cornetto and the ice cream taste had changed which was a huge disappointment because every Summer this is the thing I look forward to most; literally as the sun comes out on an early May morning I can be seen scurrying to my local newsagent to pick my ice cream treat, and this continues throughout the Summer months (or as long as the sun lasts – it doesn’t taste the same without the sun!). So here’s my point; if it isn’t broken don’t try and fix it…why would you? It sold well before, it’s been around years so it’s obviously popular, please Mr Walls bring the old taste back my summer won’t be the same without it! This does however bring me to another change that has unsettled me…why are they remaking My Fair Lady? What a beautiful film it was and still is, with Audrey Hepburn as Eliza Doolittle– who cares that Marni Nixon dubbed the songs – it was a beautiful performance & with a voice that burst ear drums – what more could you want? I can bet your bottom dollar (to quote another great musical film – Annie) that Miss Keira Knightley won’t be singing, which further infuriates me because a) why remake it when it doesn’t need to, be original and b) why cast an actress that can’t sing again? Go on take a risk Mr Mackintosh and cast a brilliant unknown actress that can charm the birds out of the trees with her singing; her talent alone may then be the reason for many bums on seats rather than just her name & God knows no other West End producer is doing it!

Run Posh Al Run…!‘Run Posh Al Run…!’ Were the guilty cries I heard in my head in Guildford on Sunday when I watched the ladies from Race for Life set off…I was meant to be running you see, but got confused (it’s easily done) and ended up watching from the sidelines as my family all made their way around the 5K course. I’d been at the race on Saturday too with PG, which was fabulous fun and a real pleasure to meet so many people personally (listeners or not) and also hear some of the touching stories from those that had been affected by cancer and why they felt they wanted to raise money for Cancer Research UK. It is truly astonishing how many people are affected, either personally or through a close friend or relative, and seeing 7,000 women (and countless more family members that had come along to show their support) in Stoke Park over the weekend really brought home how important it is to find a cure for this dreadful disease. So I’ve made a pact with myself; to take part again next year and raise as much money as possible; (and also beat my sister’s very good time of 24 minutes!!!) not only for those that are currently living with the consequences of Cancer but for those that may develop it in the future. Well done to those of you that did a sterling job this weekend; it was great to meet you & shake you by the hand & also to see what can be achieved if you really want to whatever your age – I’ll be patting my own back next year…& hopefully crossing the line at 23 mins & 30secs & ahead of my little sister!

More adventures in News...So Claire and Saffron have left me alone in the newsroom today whilst they flaunt their stuff arund the Epsom Derby for Ladies Day, goodness knows why I allowed this! This will be my last blog entry for a while as I'm off another trip! On Sunday night I leave for Kenya where I'll be reporting on the work The Army carry out over there immunising tribes. I'm following Aldershot based 4GS Med Regiment for a week and will be producing a series of special reports on my return. I'm very excited about what should be a great eye opening trip. This weekend I'll be preparing for the trip, packing my huge backpack and double checking my passport every 4 hours! Enjoy the sunshine this weekend! Rob Harris Fri, 06 Jun 2008 09:12:00 +0000 |
I feel good...What a shame that feelgood moments are in decline – that’s what we found out this morning – research has shown that they’ve declined by two a week in the last year - Can you believe that? or maybe we have higher expectations on what we need to feel good. So instead of the odd comment ‘you look good today’ which would have sufficed a year ago, it would now have to be along the lines of ‘you look good today, that top really matches your eyes and brings out the colour of your hair, where did you get it from?’ a little OTT for my liking… What this kind of survey should do is make us take stock of the simple things in life; the sun being out, sitting in your garden on a Summer’s night, (as I think PG said) the smell of freshly cut grass or the beauty of the Surrey & Hampshire countryside. In fact just to smile at a stranger can make someone feel good – obviously not like a Cheshire cat as you may begin to scare people but just enough for it to be infectious. That’s my pledge for today; to smile a lot – it will not only make someone else feel good but it may well cheer me up too! Is that too sickly sweet? oh well… Keep smiling… Posh Al x Thu, 05 Jun 2008 09:56:00 +0000 |
Dreams can come true?It became apparent at 7.25 this morning that I knew Chris Martin intimately – As I listened to Violet Hill with PG humming in my ear, I realised that I’d dreamt of Chris and Gwynnie last night and all I could remember was all of us in a clean clinical hotel type place with Gwynnie standing there, hands on hips tutting at Chris and looking on and then Chris sticks his face in mine – with all his big hair and says ‘come back soon’ and pinches my bum. I felt a little affronted at this indiscretion, especially as a) his gorgeous wife was looking on b) I didn’t know what I’d done to warrant such an invite and c) I don’t even fancy him! Now if it had been any member of Take That then the dream would’ve taken a whole new twist but I won’t go into that now. I wonder if that will ever happen – not Take That… the Chris and Gwynnie scenario? You see, I have a theory after my Helen Daniels dream of years ago…which is where I dreamt I was a character in Neighbours and I was at Lou and Madge’s house or was it Harold, oh anyway where Charlene and Henry lived – and I was having a conversation with them, then a few weeks later I saw the exact episode on telly and the character whose eyes I was looking through was Helen Daniels – spooky. So my theory is that maybe I was, in a former life, Helen Daniels and because now it’s happened, I quite fancy a pinch on the bum from Chris Martin… Right, I'm off to dream Posh Al x Tue, 03 Jun 2008 15:02:00 +0000 |
Stuck in a moment that you can't get out of?What a weekend, my big adventure was on Friday evening, when after a quick afternoon kip, I went for a nice shower and managed to lock myself in my bathroom. I was there for an hour. It resulted in my having to kick a hole in the door and somehow climb through it. I knew I wouldn't be able to better that for a story to tell, so I won't even try! Have a good day! Rob Harris Mon, 02 Jun 2008 19:01:00 +0000 |
A Grand Fantasy Weekend ?We had £1000 min winner today – Sandy from Yateley answered all 10 questions correctly and bagged the £1000 – well done Sandy I say, but it got me thinking to the question PG always asks me ‘If you won £1000 what would you spend it on?’. Now that IS a good question….so in Al’s real world; it would have to be either start saving for a deposit on a house or pay off a debt – oh dullsville! Now my fantastical world is much more interesting; I live in New York just like Carrie Bradshaw et al (guess which film I saw last night?!) and I would spend my £1000 on a designer handbag and if I could walk in them, some Manolo’s – it may tip over the £1000 mark if I’m to do it properly but what’s a few hundred between me and my bank manager. Alternatively I could take the £1000 have a little flutter and see what rewards I could reap from taking a leaf out of Las Vegas’ book, but I’m not the gambling kind I’ve decided, I like mine a dead cert as they say and what I have just realised is that the exchange rate is so good I could get 2 of each – right I’m off to take my bite out of the Big Apple… Fri, 30 May 2008 09:45:00 +0000 |
Back from the Big Apple...So, after ploughing through my 400 odd emails, 395 of them spam, it feels like I never went to New York! Had an incredible trip, saw 6 Broadway shows, ate tons of food and drank some lovely beer/wine. How lovely it was yesterday morning when my alarm went off at 4.30am - "hurrah" I shouted! However, I've returned to work to find out how busy Claire, Saffron and Clem have been on the newsdesk in my absense, providing you with some fantastic local news. I also have some exciting news which I can't share with you just yet, but involves me getting back on a plane and travelling many miles to produce some special reports for Eagle Radio - stay tuned for more!

Questions & AnswersAh, the bank holiday blues – I have them today - after a very relaxing weekend doing not much apart from enjoying Brighton beach, I was sorely disappointed not to be able to nod off last night. After a dose of the sea air, I was hoping to be able to crash and burn at about 9.30pm but alas "No" at 1.30am I was still wide awake and asking all of life’s questions… What are my top 10 things to achieve before I’m 40? Would taking a year out and helping those less privileged than myself be a life changing experience? Or shall I just stick it out and attempt to buy a house – potentially a life changing experience; the amount of money I have to save I’d be on the poverty line! Was Rainbow really as crude as the You Tube videos would have you believe? And why oh why does my cat pull socks off the radiator and meiow until you get up & pay her attention at 3am – I’M IN BED! So these questions and more were circling my brain like a pack of vultures circling its prey…I eventually I dropped off at about 3.30am & my alarm went off at 4.15am so not the longest nights sleep but I certainly put the world to rights in my head… now I just need to find meaning of life…well that should be easy…! Tue, 27 May 2008 12:20:00 +0000 |
Busy doing nothing...I’m looking forward to the bank holiday weekend immensely, and why would that be I hear someone ask? Because I’m doing big fat nothing! I have from Saturday night until Monday night with have nothing planned and I can’t wait. It's going to be one of those weekends where I catch up with life – which appears to have escaped me in the last few weeks – doing paperwork – dull as dishwater but necessary – clean the house, do some washing and clear the garden of all its weeds that have sprung up from nowhere. All very pressing tasks and some may say dull but these are the issues that have been rattling around the more empty parts of my brain and thus making me worry. Call it a girl thing, but I do believe an organised house leads to an organised mind – hence why I’m so scatty! Now, don’t get me wrong, all work and no play makes Posh a dull girl so I may even treat myself to seeing Indiana Jones on the big screen after I’ve decluttered house & mind– who says the life of a radio presenter is all glitz and glamour – mine’s certainly not and I love it – bring on the mundane I’ll be a lot saner for it! Have a relaxing Bank Hol See you Tues Posh x Fri, 23 May 2008 09:24:00 +0000 |
It's worth giving everything a go once...Today I’m mostly thinking of Mushy Peas! I honestly thought that a more vile looking and tasting substance did not exist…they look like, actually I can’t say what they look like as it’s too disgusting and not something I want to contemplate at this time in the morning but I think we all know what I mean…and the thought of eating them turns my usually iron stomach to a wibbling mess… However I have been proved wrong…on a little excursion to Weymouth a few weeks ago I was very lucky to be treated to a chish and fips supper and was asked if I’d like the aforementioned Peas…I turned my nose up and grimaced which drew cries of ‘What you don’t like Mushy Peas???’ Yuk yuk yuk I said…anyway to cut the ensuing conversation short, I conceded, under duress, to at least try a teaspoonful… ‘I’m 30’ I thought… 'I might pass away tomorrow and I’ll never have tried mushy peas!’ and I have this weird mantra that I should try everything at least once… So, out they come, sitting in separate bowl (a personal request as I couldn’t have them contaminating the lovely fish) and my spoon is placed, with trepidation & slight curiosity if I’m honest, into the green mush. Oh how it looks like green lumpy frog sporn…and into the mouth they go…and do you know what? the strangest thing happened; the mushy, lumpy, slightly vinagrey peas hit my taste buds and I actually enjoyed them – the texture took a while to get over but the taste was really enjoyable! So off I went and woofed down the whole bowl to myself – much to my families disgust and slight smugness. Mmm maybe I’ll try Ravioli next - my new top most revolting food…. Have a good day Posh x Wed, 21 May 2008 09:21:00 +0000 |
Filling the void...I’m still reeling from the fact that PG and Melanie (GPAC date no 3) have hit it off…we had an absolutely brilliant week last week with Give Pete a Chance and now it’s all over I feel a little empty inside…but that’s mainly because I like interfering in PGs love life and dammit I can’t do that anymore… So what can I do to fill that void…? I’ve decided today to think about the songs I used to snog to at the school disco or the Merinden Hall, Frensham when me and my best friends threw parties for anyone that would come along…the one song that springs firmly to mind was New Kids on the Block when they did a cover of Neilson’s classic – ‘I Can’t Live if Living is Living is Without You’ ( I used to lurve NKOTB) or, as PG said this morning, ‘Crazy for You’ by Madonna. I can still remember the absolute joy at being asked to dance by a young gent, that shall remain nameless, placing our hands on each others shoulders and swaying from side to side like never before…I thought that was the best it could get and then…we kissed…wow…fireworks!!!…oooh a little wet, aaah soft, ooh his hands getting lower, aaah my necks getting stiff & what on earth is that… Then the music stopped and said boy moved onto my best friend and I moved onto his…well he was a better kisser after all! See you tomorrow Posh Al x Tue, 20 May 2008 08:45:00 +0000 |
Wasn't It Good? (Oh So Good)A little tired this morning, but that's for a very good reason. Last night I went to see 'Chess - In Concert' at the Royal Albert Hall, a special performance of the 80's musical, introduced by Sir Tim Rice! Real musical lovers will appreciate how excited I was, the rest of you will just laugh at me and then resume your bad mood because the football season's about to end! There was a lot of celeb spotting going on, but the whole evening was incredible, great performances from Idina Menzel, Marti Pellow and Josh Groban. So that's not the end of my excitement, because early tomorrow morning I'll be heading along the M25 to Heathrow for a trip to New York! I wish PG all the best with his dates as 'Give Pete a Chance' continues, and also hope that Posh picks a goodie to join him in bed! I will be back at the end of the month and give you a good run down of my American adventure! Rob Harris Tue, 13 May 2008 08:05:00 +0000 |
Naked Woking...Summer's finally here and Woking Park's been lucky enough to host me and the dog in the afternoons to make the most of the warm weather. I would like to add, I remain fully clothed when I'm in the park, unlike some guys who live by the embarrassing English rule that one must remove ones top, whether one be a scabby teenager, or whether one by an old man with moobs. Most unpleasent whichever you may be, so please think twice before removing t-shirts. After a few pints down my local tonight, the most exciting part of my weekend will be watching Speed Racer at the Imax at Waterloo, really looking forward to that. Then I have to start thinking about packing ahead of my trip to New York next week - yay! Enjoy the weekend weather and the inevitable smell of BBQ's around the area!

A Posh Al never forgets...I’ve failed…miserably…all I can do is apologise … and the only thing I can blame it on is an ailing memory…I have to say I didn’t think it would get me this quickly, although it’s been creeping up for years. I even bought a book called ‘Intelligent Memory’ some months ago but have forgotten what most of it said, something about testing your memory on a daily basis, but how can you do that when everything is made so easy; calculators, predictive texting, that funny little paper clip that pops up on your computer to help you write a letter, they all conspire to make you forgetful and thus the worst has happened (well according to the computer man who told me off this morning) I forgot to blog yesterday... See you tomorrow Thu, 08 May 2008 13:35:00 +0000 |
Rob Harris Recommends...After a lovely long bank holiday weekend I can pass on some Rob Harris recommendations. There is a much wider choice of garden gate locks available than I ever realised, growing your own herbs can be fun for about 10 minutes, Stardust is a really rubbish movie, but Iron Man is brilliant, and The Trout pub in Oxford has the best pub garden I've seen in ages. All that before I'm off to Single Spies at The New Victoria tonight - I shall post a review tomorrow. Enjoy the sun! Tue, 06 May 2008 09:12:00 +0000 |
She's So Vain...This morning we not only found out that Brits consume nearly twice as much alcohol as our continental colleagues but also stay in the pub for twice as long – with an average arrival of 6.14pm and staying until 10.14pm! I scoffed at this as if I’d never done it myself - "What, Stay in the pub for 4 hours? Never!" It didn’t take long to realise the hypocrisy of my thoughts as I recall spending most of my young adult life in pubs for that long (in fact probably double that time) and by 2.14pm today, I'm wondering where my first drink of the bank holiday weekend is coming from! And then my thought turned to the Breakfast Show this morning and the words of our Crew Ride recipient echoed in my ears (He’s 8) "Today at school we’re looking at what alcohol does to the look of your inside body as well as your outside body" Well if nothing else I’m vain so maybe tonight I’ll give the booze a miss! It takes an 8 year old to tell you these things sometimes! Happy Bank Holiday weekend love Posh Al x Fri, 02 May 2008 13:12:00 +0000 |
X marks the spot!After being hooked to The Apprentice last night, playing that guessing game as to who's going out, and arguing with the other half over who it should be (actually we both agreed with Alan last night!), I thought I better start considering who to vote for in the local elections today. I live in Woking, so will be one of the thousands walking to the church hall to cross a box with a stubby pencil. I worked my way through the mountains of campaign leaflets that had come through my letterbox over the past months and went to bed. I have a new digital radio alarm clock, so it took me about an hour to set my alarm for this morning! Today for us Journo's is always the calm before the storm; tomorrow will be incredibly busy but exciting as the results start to come through. Of course, I hope to be able to bring you the latest from 6 tomorrow morning, plus Claire and Saffron will be journeying round the area all day to broadcast your views on the results. That means a relaxing afternoon for me, pizza for dinner, a cross in a box and then early to bed. Happy voting! Rob Harris, 96.4 Eagle Radio Head of News Thu, 01 May 2008 06:08:00 +0000 |
