What sort of crisp are you?

September 2nd, 2010

Lionel Richie is advertising crisps on the tv which got us talking about other celebrities and which crisps they could advertise.  We though Cliff Richard would be something cheesy, Alison the taxi driver suggested cheesy puffs for William Hague and Derek from Dundee said that Susan Boyle would be ideal for monster munch!

We  also discussed unwanted gifts as I was so appalled when I bumped into Ian on Saturday as he had just exchanged a flowery picture frame for 2 pairs of socks!  Claire texted in to say that her Gran gave her a pair of used earings.  She wouldn’t have minded but they had flakey skin on them!  Lorraine said that after her in-laws had stayed with her, they gave her a picture of them in a frame!

Don’t forget to text or phone us with your “Friday Funny”  tomorrow from 7am.  As long as it’s not a rude joke, we’ll read it out!

We’ll be waiting from 6am tomorrow.  Don’t be late!  Love and kisses, Diane and Ian x Â

It’s her off the telly!

September 1st, 2010

The photo doesn’t really do my work of art justice, but you get the picture (get it!?) - here’s Laura getting used to her new life on television. There were some cruel comments from fellow Kingdom FM colleagues who said it resembled a microwave oven more than a TV - I think they were just jealous of my skills that I picked up from watching Blue Peter when I was a kid.

Farewell Lovely Laura

September 1st, 2010

It was a sad day for us all on the Breakfast Show today as it was Laura’s final day at Kingdom FM.  She’s going to be reading the news on breakfast telly.  Ian was up all night making a tv out of a cardboard box and it really was quite impressive!  He made Laura read the news with it on her head!    She also did very well on the STV Quiz and scored an impressive 8 out of 10!  Thanks for all your texts and phone calls, wishing Laura good luck.  We’re all going to miss her.

Don’t worry though,  we’ll still be here tomorrow morning from 6am.  Don’t forget to tune in.  We’ll be waiting!  Love and kisses Ian and Diane x

Hurrrah! The painting of the Forth Rail Bridge is completed! (nearly…..)

August 31st, 2010

Today, we celebrated the near completion of the painting of the Forth Rail Bridge - one year early!   Ian wondered if they used a roller of a paintbrush.  David texted in and suggested that they probably used a Dulux pod (though neither of us were exactly sure what that was!) 

Amy Winehouse is going to give Pete Docherty a room in her new abode which got us talking about flatmates from hell!  Ian said that he used to share a flat with someone who insisted on sticking to house rules.  He said it was like being in the film, “Sleeping with the enemy.”

Don’t forget to tune in tomorrow.  Ian will be announcing the long awaited results of the best decorated coconut and there’s sad news on the show too - bring your tissues!!

We’ll be waiting from 6am tomorrow.  Love and kisses,  Ian and Diane xxxÂ

Happy St Fiacre’s Day!

August 30th, 2010

Today we celebrated St Fiacre’s Day.  He is the Patron Saint of Cabbies.  We tried to make a list of good and bad things about taxi drivers but failed to find many good things to mention!

Cliff Richard was pictured on page 3 of the Daily Mail today looking absolutely amazing, considering he’s about to celebrate his 70th birthday.  He doesn’t seem to have an ounce of fat on him and has the body of a 30 year old.  He said that it’s all due to consuming 2 glassses of red wine per day and playing tennis 3 times a week.

John Lennon’s loo was up for auction at the weekend and went for the princely sum of £10,000.  A few of you called in to suggest that you could grow  lupins or sweet peas in it! 

The £200 cash was not won on our show on the “Word is Out” today so don’t forget to tune in to Darren Stenhouse who’s back from his holibags.

We look forward to your company from 6am tomorrow morning.  Don’t be late!

Love and kisses, Ian and Diane xx   Â

Way-Hey it’s Friday!

August 27th, 2010

There was a story in the papers about a woman who had invented an easy way to put your duvet on your bed by making it accessible on three sides.  It’s going to make her a heck of a lot of money for a very simple idea.  Ian couldn’t understand what all the fuss was about when you only normally change your bed twice a year - no wonder he lives alone!!

He was in a paticularly good mood today as a kindly neighbour had caught a couple of trout and offered it to him for his dinner tonight.  Many of you phoned in with a nice sauce to go with it so he’s fair excited about that! 

You sent us some quality jokes for the Friday Funnies today.  The winner was George McCabe with “What do Robert the Bruce and Kermit the Frog have in common?”

“They both have the same middle name!”  Boom Boom!

It’s the final week of the Edinburgh Fringe so am going to try and catch some shows over the weekend.  There’s a great party atmosphere there at the moment.

Hope you all have a great weekend and we look forward to your company.  We’ll be waiting from 6am on Monday.

Love and kisses Diane and Ian xÂ

Where do you hide yours?

August 26th, 2010

There was a story in the papers today about a man, who was travelling from Brussels,  being stopped at London Euston from after 50,000 euros was found in his pants!  We asked you where you liked to hide your money.  Gordon Simpson said that in the seventies, his father hid £400 in a storage heater and totally forgot about it being there.  He lit the storage heater and the money was never seen again.  He’s never got over it!

There’s a new flashy passport coming out with anti-fraud background pictures but they’re now charging us £77.50 to renew our passports!  Ian was outraged and  said he expected his photo to be taken by Lord Lichfield while posing on a fluffy rug at that price!

Don’t forget to text us any jokes you’ve received recently for the “Friday Funnies” so we’re guaranteed to have a good laugh tomorrow.

Hope you can join us from 6-10am.

 Love and kisses,  Ian and Diane xÂ

Happy Birthday Sir Sean!

August 25th, 2010

We celebrated Sir Sean Connery’s 80th birthday today and all agreed that he was the best James Bond of all time.  We asked you to come up with ideas as to what we could buy him for his birthday.  Malcolm from Kirkcaldy suggested that we buy him a mobility scooter with a snorkel for underwater use.  Becky suggested that we get him a job in 

B&Q in the power tools department where he’d be “Licensed to Drill!” 

David Cameron’s wife Sam gave birth to her fourth child and because she was born in Cornwall, the baby is going to be a cornish middle name.  Ian thought that Pastie would be rather apt but I’m not sure they’ll go for that! 

There’s more chances to win a pair of tickets tomorrow for the fabulous musical “Sunshine On Leith” at Dundee Rep.

Don’t forget to tune from 6am tomorrow.  Love and kisses Ian and Diane xÂ

Do you have a “little black book?”

August 24th, 2010

Katie Perry has conviscated Russell Brand’s “little

black book”  as she doesn’t want him contacting any

of his ex girlfriends.  I have never owned a little

black book but Ian did look rather sheepish and

confessed that he still had his although it was rather

worn now!

 Ian has been boasting about going to the gym 5

times a week and is suggesting that my belly is

increasing every day so as from next week, my

new fitness regime will commence.  I’ve been

enjoying going to lots of shows at the Edinburgh

Fringe but as it finishes next Monday, I know

longer have an excuse!  I have to say that he is looking

a lot fitter since he got Roxy the dog so I may have to

borrow her.  It would be a lot more enjoyable than running on

the treadmill and lifting weights!

Don’t forget to join us tomorrow morning from 6am till 10am.  We’ll be waiting!

 Love and kisses, Ian and Diane x
