Have you ever got a shout out?

Mystery FM. Asked what the previous song was.

Boomblast (deekline remix) - Freestylers.


It's a chavved up pirate local station which just does dnb. Pretty funny, and they always read out whatever people text in. Although it's usually their friends from what I've heard.

Also with my mates went for the "Big ups to the Castle cru".. that was read out with "brap brap" and all the associated terms thrown around.

Their shout outs are hilarious. :D

OMG, Colchester people :O

Lol Mystery, love it when they say things like...

"Big massvie to big Daz and the stanway massive, brap"

Banin Choons :D
 
Andi Peters on Capital was asking for before-they-were-famous near misses, and I told the 'highly amusing' story of how I was too busy to go and see my mate's band play in the pub one night, and despite my mate's assurances they were good, I told him "I can't go and see Coldplay tonight"

edited to make sense.
 
I used to get on the rock show quite regularly...calls and emails. Mostly subtle digs at MAH.

Even better was calling in to Nikelodeon (0800801801 iirc) and telling Moonya and Yolanda live on air that they had nice boobs but it was a shame about their faces.

Not as good as meeting Konnie Huq whilst veeeery drunk.

Brilliant station. Always tuned in here when in my car. :o Although I can't help but think they're a little bit sad to do it all the time..
 
I had a couple of letters to John Peel read out a good few years ago, he sent me the record I wrote asking about. Nice chap, I promised him a beer in return :(

Moyles is a waste of the licence fee. Unfunny and he plays about 3 tracks an hour. He plays more of his own jingles (for which he gets paid royalties!) than he does tunes.

Mark & Lard were the best thing on the radio for entertainment, in their graveyard shift days anyway.
 
Never on the radio/tv, but I have my name on the shout outs on a few CD sleeves, and I've had several at shows, and I'm even given a shout out on a single released by a band called 'Foals' :)
 
rofl, I used to email the local radio station late night talk in almost every night under the alter ego of "bob the baker" sometimes phoned in too. My mate was professor bob too... I was like, one of the regulars.

We even had the epic "pie wars" there was a bob the baker imposter you see... Dark times.
 
Just remembered I went with a bunch of friends went to meet Krusher and go on his Rock show on GLR when I was about 16. He took us to the pub and we had a few beers then we went back into the studio and he gave us a few minutes on air to give let us do some shout outs.

What a nice chap! :)

Had Claire Sturgess say she wanted to marry me for my surname on air a few years back when she did the late show on Radio 1. Probably around 8-9 years ago I think.

I'd emailed in asking her to play something whilst I was at work on night shift.

I used to histen to her show then (1am-4am? something like that). Her voice is definitely the sexiest English I've ever heard.
 
I managed to get a shout out on Radio 1 once from Vernon Kay, by insulting his baby (jokingly) via text. I really can't remember exactly what I said now though, and he didn't appear to take it badly...

Aye, something like that. She does have a very sexy voice. Apparently she's on XFM now so I might have a listen :p

That term could be used to describe any of their DJ's.
Listening to Edith Bowman about 20 mins ago, a total pleb.

This had to be relayed to me by several other people by the way...I woke up the next day and pieced the night's events together thanks to several phonecalls.

I was in Nodnol with work. Me, my boss and half a dozen colleagues...A long week mixing a conference, client meetings and two days putting boxes in a server room because someone (not me) didn't book the engineer.

The last night before we were due to head back up north, We got invited to a 'do' by our section director and told that we could each bring a few friends. A colleague took advantage of this and took three whores...but he disappeared early in the night then showed up at work the next week and refused to talk about it.

So, enamoured by the possibility of drunken shenanigans at no cost to myself, I made a couple of calls and arranged to meet a few friends at The Worlds' End for a couple of drinks before jumping in a taxi to the swanky (silent S) establishment which we were to call home for the evening.

The evening started well and apparantly I had gone rapidly through woozy drunk, sailed past sleepy drunk, had the briefest of dances with funny drunk and was firmly entrenched in bolshy letch drunk by 8pm.

The bar was free, and I was quite happy sitting at a corner table, mocking Z-list celebrities that came too close and necking a bottle of cheap bourbon brought to the table by a colleague.

Apparantly I suddenly sat bolt upright, exclaimed "wtfbbq?! Is that Konnie Huq?!" and tried to travel the 30 feet between my seat and hers without bothering to stand up and move my legs...(Okay...I fell off my seat)

I was then dragged onto my seat by a friend and my boss and told to behave. Clutching the bottle (i think it was knob creek), I demanded that I must meet her. My boss said 'leave it to me...' and I got back to wowing all and sundry with my
witty repartie...(Making willy jokes)

A couple of hours later, my boss brought someone over to the table and said "Someone here REALLY wants to meet you..."

I looked up and it was a slightly nervous Miss Huq.

Again, I can only relay what happened next from what others told me but the conversation went a bit like this:

Me: Wow! So glad to meet you - I'm a great fan

KH: Haha...Sure you are...

Me: I really am! I love you on Blue Peter!

KH: Aren't you a bit old for that?

Me: Yes...but I used to watch it every day when I was in high school.

KH: Hah! Didn't you have anything better to do?

Me: Nope. It was on when I got in from school and I had the place to myself...

KH: ...What do you mean...?

Me: Y'know....

KH: No...?

Me: There was no other worthy inspiration on TV at that time of day...

At which point she twigged and just walked away, stunned.

Is it really that bad a thing? I can't have been the only one...

I can't make my mind up about Moyles. Some mornings he has me laughing, but on others he's forced me to mute him because he was just being stupid with sound-bites. Kind of gets annoying when he keeps trashing a song with "WITCHETTY GRUB?" every 5 seconds, especially when he's played it about 500 times already that week.

lol he still does that?

That's the reason I didn't listen to him for years.

BamBam and Streetboy (used to be on KISS100, ended up on Crapital) are still the crown-takers of quality radio.

I emailed Jeremy Kyle when he hosted Jezza's Virgin Confessions about his dodgy haircut. Got a laugh out of his female cohorts :D
 
Text into one of the music stations (not the big ones like mtv), and had the text on screen. Can't remember what it was, but something like "i love you harry, from jim" or similar :)
 
I was on radio 1 once when i won a Dodgy (the band) competition by answering an Oasis question :confused:

The dude who answered the phone was a Wolves fan and when he asked where i lived he said "ahh so your a Wolves fan then?, your def gonna win"

"Erm..........yeah!" :D
