Well, hello there.....On today's Geoffanory we were marking the fact that Pete Best - original drummer in the Beatles - was joining us in the studio. Mr Lloyd was punting for your stories of how you missed out on the big time OR how you had fame snatched from you.....

Here's what you said......

Geoffanory - Tues 21st Oct

nelsonkumah — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 13:52:13 +0100

Good evening...in today's edition of Geoffanory Geoff would like to hear bout your stories of bungs, bribes and paying for something but not using cash.

Geoff recalls a time back in his drinking days when he once paid a cab driver for a ride with his £400.00 glasses. It was a long ride.

Here's what you said.....

Geoffanory - Mon 20th Oct

nelsonkumah — Tue, 21 Oct 2008 13:47:03 +0100

In today's edition of Geoffanory, Geoff wanted to know about performances and shows that you may have witnessed going terribly wrong. Sarah Silverman performed her stand-up show at London's Hammersmith Apollo last weekend but ended up being heckled by the audience.

Have you ever witnessed such goings on?

This is what you said......

Hello I'm a novelist, writing women's fiction and
once got sent on a 10 hour round trip on the
train to newport to do an 'event' for world book
day. Only 8 grannies turned up. One was deaf
and kept asking me to speak up, one fell asleep
and snored and one slipped the cold buffet into
her handbag. Eat your heart out jk rowling -
Rowan Coleman.

Dave - I remember watching Joe Jackson years
ago playing a gig on Rock goes to College
programme. He was complaining about the
hamburgers in the college canteen He threw the
burger into the crowd and start playing a song.
Just as he was in the chorus someone threw the
burger back and it hit Joe Jackson right in the
face. He stopped playing with ketchup running
down his cheek and grunted VERY FUNNY!

I went to see a little theatre production of romeo
and juliet where the players were really close to
the audience. In the scene where tybalt kills
mercutio and romeo kills tybalt one of the actors
was supposed to break a blood bag on his
chest but it wouldn't break so he squeezed hard,
drenching the front 2 rows of the audience in
blood. Paula, Sheffield

William - i have 2 one was when i went to see
guns and roses a couple of years ago peopple
where getting annoyed because they were 20
minutes late and in the middle of a song a riot
broke out and everyone started throwing bottles
on the stage, axl said if someone throws another
bottle they would go, some one did and it hit his
mouth. they walked out of the stage and i never
got my money back. and the other was when my
friend went to a kiss gig the band were going
mad over one person shining one of those laser
poiters at the stage, he started to ask for a mob
to bring the laser pointer guy up to the stage.
they started swearing at each other and the man
was booooed away.

Hi steve from enfield. I went to see baby
shambles at metro last year at a private gig and
Pete got a good reception until someone
shouted "chase the dragon Pete" and he looked
really angry.then he got carried away and threw
a pint of guiness and smashed some stage
lights!

Saw the band the goats about 15 yrs ago. One
of the older band members stripped off on stage
then dived into the audience but the crowds
parted and no one caught him.

Mon 29th Sep - It's Hometime

nelsonkumah — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 17:21:42 +0100

The first ever edition of the Hometime Show

Thur 25th Sep - Last Ever Geoff Show

nelsonkumah — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 13:18:38 +0100

And finally it did come to an end. The final ever "Geoff Show" went out today and the Symposium were joined in the studio by members of the wider symposium. I hope you all enjoyed it.....we now look ahead to Geoff Lloyd's Hometime Show.

On behalf of the Symposium.....Thanks for all the memories.

Wed 24th Sep - ".......TWO.........."

nelsonkumah — Thu, 25 Sep 2008 01:00:31 +0100

Hello, good evening.....Welcome to the penultimate edition of the "Geoff Show". For today's episode of the "Geoff Show" we had a special look back at some of the highlights over the last few years of this show.

Paul McCartney, I'm from Barcelona, Paul speaking Polish to his dog (not Paul McCartney), Tyco Brahe in the Dead of the Night, Billy Bragg, Annabel Porting controversy over Postman Pat, Jonathan Coulton.

If you missed the show make sure you download the podcast. We'll see you for the final show tomorrow!

Tues 23rd Sep - "......THREE........"

nelsonkumah — Wed, 24 Sep 2008 00:44:38 +0100

Welcome to the pre-penultimate episode of what has been "The Geoff Show" for the last three years.

I think Geoff's phone-in was inspired by the fact he saw some terrapins in a small glass cage earlier. He'd like to know about anyone you know with exotic pets OR the person you know with the largest amount of pets.

Also, Mr Lloyd would love to find out about those little things that have put you off somebody you've been seeing. Has there been one little thing that made you realise you couldn't stay in this relationship. Maybe you finally got sick of the way somebody answered the phone?

Annabel read a story about a lady who was being held hostage in her house by a giant Pig that had made camp outside her front gate, blocking the way. Annabel also claims she was bullied by pigeons when she was younger! Hmm.

Have you any tales about being bullied or held hostage by an animal?

While working with a stylist - or someone who dresses people up for photo shoots - she told me that whenever she's out at a party the first question anyone asks her is, "What would you dress me in, then?". This annoys her immensely! Why do they always ask the same question?

What question do people ask you when you tell them your occupation?

Till tomorrow....

Monday 22nd Sep - The End is Nigh

nelsonkumah — Mon, 22 Sep 2008 23:52:21 +0100

I trust you all had a good weekend. We all did and now we're back. For the last week of what has been these "Geoff Shows".

Since arriving back at the station after the weekend Geoff noticed that Iain Lee, or somebody else, who used Studio H on Sunday evening had changed all is usual internet settings and had erased all the previous web pages. Has this happened to you or have you stumbled upon something you shouldn't have on another's computer?

Tell us: What have you seen on someone else's computer?

Also, let us know about the things that you grew up thinking were totally normal as a kid, but then realised were NOT normal at all once you moved out of home?

Annabel asks have you written to a celebrity or somebody famous before and received a personal reply from said famous person? If so, tell us what they said when they wrote to you.

My topic is entitled; The Times They Are-a-Changing: That moment of clarity when you realise your life hs changed forever. The reason I've gone for this long-winded title is because I met up with my old university flatmate today, who is due to give birth very soon. While talking, we both looked at each other and asked, "How did we get here?"

Till tomorrow........

Thur 18th Sep -

nelsonkumah — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 23:25:15 +0100

Just 4 more shows to go following this one. Make sure you catch the last remaining episodes of "The Geoff Show".

A story in today's papers interested Geoff. It was one which stated that it's more dangerous to text while driving than it is to drink and drive. This got Geoff thinking about the strange things people do in their cars while driving. He once witnessed a man conducting an imaginary orchestra with a baton.

What weird things have you seen people do in a car?

And now for an old favourite of ours......Hmm! I wonder what that tastes like? What are the things that look edible, but clearly aren't, that you have dreamt of stuffing down your throat or have done it just for a laugh?

Whilst flicking through the BBC's most emailed website pages of the day Annabel noticed that the most emailed story was one that a pie-tasting committee are on the look out for a new member who can taste pies all day long, free of charge. Would you consider this?

Tell us about the lengths you've gone to to get a freebie, no matter how cheap it would have been in the first place.

I was finally proved right. One of my first ever phone-in topics was "Things you've seen, that only you've seen, that might not have really been there". I thought I saw my local tube station change its name for one night only. BUT as the name went back to the original I was never able to prove this. BUT I finally got it confirmed that the name did change for two days only, But they decided to stick with the original name!

Let us know your stories of being vindicated: the longer after you originally made your claim, the better.

What you said:

Me and some friends once emptied the contents of three strawberry scented gel pens in to a cup and added the ink of a chocolate scented gel pen and all drank a bit. youve never seen three children throw up so quickly.

Like so many many many people I'm sure (please tell me I'm normal) I've eaten a dog cholocate treat. They are foul. I'm not sure how trading standards can allow it to be called chocolate- and I could taste the damn thing for ages afterwards.

Till next week....

Wednesday 17th Sep - "People are strange when youre a stranger, Faces look ugly, when you're alone"

nelsonkumah — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 00:19:26 +0100

Hey man, the countdown's on. Just FIVE more shows to go before the Geoff Show moves timeslot and home.

Are you familiar with the name Paul Warfield Tibbets Jr? No? He was the man who pressed the button that dropped the bomb on Hiroshima. While we at The Geoff Show don't necessarily agree with those actions, Geoff is interested to know what the best or most impressive button, switch or lever is that you've pulled, pressed or switched on.

Also, what tales can you tell of extreme, sickening and ill-judged romantic gestures. Has your partner or former partner tried to win you over or win you back with something so slimy it could have appeared on Tiswas?

Annabel would like to know about your stories of finding bits of British culture abroad. Maybe you've seen a pound shop in Dubai, a Fish and Chip shop in Ghana or a King's Head Pub in Qatar.

Strands of British culture found on your travels.

I discovered something totally new about myself on Sunday afternoon. Kumah shouldn't be my surname. It should be Aggor or Vlidzoh (my third name) but my dad didn't like either of them so he gave me and my siblings the surname of his younger brother.

What strange things have you discovered about yourself and your family?

What you said:

i once pressed the ignition button on one of lewis hamiltons Maclaren F1 cars. it was a great experince and he later went on to win the race, i like to think it was helped by my superb button pressing skills.

I recently found out that my family comes originally from White Russia and our surname used to be something long and Ukrainian. My great-grandfather emigrated to England and later to Canada where I live now. He didn't want any authorities to find out he didn't speak English because he was worried that he would be denied entry into England. When he was asked his name for the ship register, he thought they were asking where he was going, and he replied, "London." And that, it turns out, is why my surname is London.

When I was a teenager, I was a cashier in a supermarket. Being ancient times (otherwise known as the 70's) the cash register wasn't electric and it had four columns of buttons 1 through 0 and then a big button to the right to enter the price. I loved getting a bunch of items that were 99 cents so I could hold down the two nines and then keep hitting the big button with the heel of my hand. I still get excited just thinking about it!!!

Till tomorrow.....

Tuesday 16th Sep - "....and to walk, like Christ, in grace and love, and guide you into my arms"

nelsonkumah — Wed, 17 Sep 2008 00:01:49 +0100

Good morning, afternoon evening and night. You've tuned into the Geoff Show. Version Tuesday 16th Sep '08.

Last night a listener gave Geoff the idea of this very phone-in: Things you usually do with your hands that you've used other parts of your body for. Maybe everyday tasks like cleaning, paying the local newsagent or playing the game handball with your feet. Let us know.

Whilst in the country this afternoon Geoff came across an extremely odd sight. A young lady with a horse's head. No. Not really, she was riding a horse whilst talking on her mobile phone. This was a strange coming together of nature and technology.

Give us your experiences of when two worlds have collided.

Whilst in the British Museum swatting up on the great Savador Dali, Annabel discovered that the old Master had a clever little trick he used to play on people he owed money. After signing a cheque he would scribble a small drawing on the back of it in the hope the receiver wouldn't cash it in because of its value as a Dali original.

Do you own a famous signature that doesn't reside in a scrap book or on a piece of paper?

I bumped into a work colleague of mine nearby where I live in Shepherds Bush. Asking what he was doing in the area, he told me he was looking for a flat in the area. My blood started boiling. Only I was meant to live in the Bush. I became ridiculously angry and was almost gonna advise him not to move into the area.

Let us know about your irrational bouts of jealousy.

Here's what you said.....

I used to water ski in Annecy (France) - there you would see REALLY old men in lycra, I'm not talking just a little bit old I mean incredibly old like 80+ rollerblading around the lake! They went faster than some cyclists!

If im coming back from the shop with to many bags and cant get my keys out, i will use my nose to ring the door bell

Till tomorrow....

Monday 15th Sep - Geoff and The Symposium are back

nelsonkumah — Mon, 15 Sep 2008 23:52:46 +0100

Watcha and welcome back to The Geoff Show on Virgin Radio-soon-to-be-Absolute Radio.

Geoff's been off on his official role as ambassador for the British Broadcasting Industry. He was invited to South Africa to let other radio people know how to ask someone out without meaning to, how to scare a group of young ladies eating out at a restaurant etc etc.

Anyway, for today's phone-ins Geoff's gone plane crazy. After the collapse of XL Airlines Geoff wants to know what the longest you've spent in an airport is.

He'd also like to know about your stories of being stranded abroad, AND any weird things you've witnessed on a plane. This can range from a half-snake, half-bear type creature or just some weird behaviou you've noticed.

Do you ever wonder what life would have been like if......? Do you find yourself day-dreaming about things that could happen, BUT probably never will? If so, let us know what goes through that mind of yours.

Whilst talking to a friend Annabel discovered someone who has the job title of "The Maximiser", and another titled the "Imaginer".

What are the greatest job titles?

Loads of people at work are getting married. There's Tim, Andrew, Nick, Tumshie, Vince and Robin. But who's gonna be next? Geoff and Annabel have both been in looooong relationships. Who knows? Or is there a celebrity couple who you just know are ready to announce they're gonna tie the knot?

Till tomorrow....

Mon 8th Sep-Thur 11th Sep - Sorry we weren't here

nelsonkumah — Wed, 10 Sep 2008 22:30:10 +0100

Hello all....sorry we haven't been around this week. Geoff's been poorly sick. We'll be back next Monday. Till then......

Thur 4th Sep - We'll miss these four day weeks

nelsonkumah — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 01:28:06 +0100

Hello. Welcome to the last episode in the current series of this week's Geoff Shows. Virgin Radio's metamorphosis into Absolute Radio has made it onto question number 4 of Teletexts quiz this week. So to celebrate and reminisce about all things Ceefax, Oracle and 4-Tel related we're asking for your stories about your favourite teletext pages and the numbers you had to input on your remote control to access them.

Geoff recalls a story of when him and his girlfriend Zena found a large wet stain on their ceiling. They later discovered that a carton of Blackcurrant Smoothie had exploded.

Tell us your stories about "what went bang"!

Also, Geoff was remembering watching an old Bill Murray film - during his bad period. Bill's not Geoff's - with a plotline so bad and useless that I can't bring myself to waste typing time here on it.

Have you seen a film with a plot line so awful you've taken your eyes out?

As many schools are returning to school this week Annabel would like to know about the subjects that were taught or learned ONLY at your school. Maybe you thought it was commonplace for people to learn such things but grew up to discover it was only your school.

At the barbers earlier today I met a man who claimed he was the hardest when he was a kid, could take on and beat up most anyone. BUT he revealed he would never take on anyone Scottish because he's always been terrified of the Strongman, tossing the caber on the box of Porridge Oats. His dad told him this was the strongest man in the world and to never take on anyone like him.

When has a fictional character impacted upon your life?

Till next week...

Wed 3rd Sep Soon-to-be Thur 4th Sep

nelsonkumah — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 00:39:07 +0100

Can I start by saying a huge thank you on behalf of all at "The Geoff Show" for your kind words in regards to us leaving the evening slot and moving to Drive.

While staying at a friends house recently Geoff noticed that the friends daughter loved to play with and pick up the family cats. All day long she'd be glued to these cats. Geoff later found out that this was because she loves the smell of their breath.

Do you have stories about kids being obsessed with weird things?

With this Geoff Show moving to Home Time Geoff's started wondering what it would be like to be able to watch Holby City like all normal peole do. He imagines this great futuristic city, where futuristic people live, doing futuristic things.

Do you have these thoughts on other subjects? What do you imagine its like?

After reading a story about a punter that found a pair of Queen Victoria's stockings in their cellar, and was going to sell them for £4,000....Annabel wants to know what you've found in your loft or cellar.

I'm due my first haircut in nearly 9 months, and coincidentally was offered the chance of an extremely cheap hair cut by a trainee hairdresser. I turned it down, believing it would turn out to be a disaster.

Let us know your haircurts-gone-wrong stories. Or if you're a hairdresser do you have a tale about the revenge you've taken on one of your

Till tomorrow.....

Tues 2nd Sep - Soon-to-be Wed 3rd Sep

nelsonkumah — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 01:19:33 +0100

So there it is. Now you all know. Virgin Radio is soon to become Absolute Radio. But we'll still be here, albeit at a different time. Keep checking the website for all the latest news.

For no particular reason Geoff wanted to visit an old favourite topic of ours: How did that get there? We want your stories of how things got stuck in or on parts of your body, around your house or in your coat pocket?

How did that get there?

Annabel read today that Londoners will soon be able to use their phones as both travel cards and credit cards. Travel and credit cards. Amazing. What couod be better?

When were you sure that the good times were on their way?

A friend of mine posted a picture on Facebook of him cutting the hair of a couple of professional footballers. This was strange in itself, but even more strange that he lives in London and the player lives in Bolton. He told me that said player pays him to take the 5-hour round trip to Bolton to cut his hair, which takes half-hour tops.

Give us your stories about flamboyance and extravagance.

Till tomorrow....

Mon 1st Sept - A New Dawn-a-Coming

nelsonkumah — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 01:33:50 +0100

Hello and welcome to the final day of Virgin Radio. You'll probably have heard the new name by the time you're reading this.

On this fine first day of September Geoff would like to know if you have any stories about secret doors, secret passages or secret compartments.

Oh, and he'd also like to know about things you've done when you're half/asleep. Have you got some interesting sleepwalking tales OR have you spoken out of turn loudly in front of your lover in the middle of the night? Let us know.

Ms. Port would like to know what you have stumbled upon by total accident. Her boyfriend and her once ended up crossing the finishing line in a half-marathon, in Mexico on New Years Day without knowing there was any kind of race taking place.

Can you beat that?

And I would like to know about your stories of people changing their names. Virgin Radio is soon to be _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Radio, so I'd like to know your stories of you, or anyone you know changing their names.

Till Tomorrow.....

Thur 28th Aug - See you in September

nelsonkumah — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 00:17:18 +0100

Kon ichiwa....members of the worldwide symposium. We're back to Earth following our astronaut special last night. On tonight's show Geoff claimed that I had found out the new station name by spying in on some secret activity taking place in one of our studios, and that I was keeping the info to myself. I can't confirm whether that's true or not BUT have you ever stumbled upon classified information by spying, peeking or through espionagic activity.

Also, have you ever had to make a quick exit from some place through unconventional means: possibly where you've had to use a window, chimney or ladder instead of the exit doors.

Annabel read in tonight's final west end edition of the Evening Standard that a fox made itself at home in a house it squeezed its way into. Feeling rather at home, said fox posed for pictures before being released into the wild again (the owner lived in Feltham).

Have you ever come across animals out of place?

I'm just finishing a great book, "The Time-Travellers Wife". It really is great, you should check it out. Anyway, the book got me thinking about the possibilities of time travelling.

Let us know if you've ever time travelled and show us your proof.

We want change....

Wed 27th Aug - It's coming soon!

nelsonkumah — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 23:19:44 +0100

Hi there and welcome....step inside our capsule, close the door and float with us while we take you through this "Geoff Show" ride.

We're going astronaut crazy tonight - Have you ever met one or are you in some way connected to an astronaut? Let us know your links, however tenuous.

Wea also want to know which of our listeners has come the closest to becoming an astronaut. Have you ever eaten/swallowed astronaut food? Or tried on a space suit?

For a final encore Geoff would like to know your stories about blurting things out: that horrible moment when you don't mean to say something but it somehow just comes out.

Annabel would like to know about your childhood brushes with fame. She had a couple herself; once when at school she was featured showing people the way to eat spaghetti properly and I can't remember the other time.

Let us know about your childhood flirtation with the fame game.

Hmmmm. I read about a rottweiler that has become a hero after it saved a small boy from being eaten up by a horrible horrible pit bull terrier. Now, my point is that rottweilers don't usually get a very good press BUT for one night only they got a good press. Rather like Darth Vader, who was a real bad guy until the very last moments of episode VI, where he showed his human side in more ways than one.

Have you any examples of this?

Till tomorrow.......

Tues 26th Aug - Bank Holiday Blues

nelsonkumah — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 00:27:22 +0100

Sometimes even a 4-day break isn't enough to refuel BUT we did our best to bring the show back to its normal level of entertainment.

Overt the Bank Holiday weekend Geoff found himself in a strange situation: sitting on the toilet seat, eating crisps, naked. You don't need to know why.

Have you ever asked yourself the question, "What have I become?" Geoff did.

While conversing with an acquaintance - also over this Bank Holiday weekend - Geoff discovered that Tim had shared fluids with three celebriy mums; Those of Pete Tosh, Paul Weller and another not-so-famous one.

Have you met more than three celebrity mums? Tell us a fact about them.

From our list of 101 topics on our website for you to contact us about, Annabel has gone for this one: What is the smallest reason for causing the biggest argument you've been involved in?

My girlfriend was bitten by a small creature over the weekend, causing her to come down with 'bigfoot' syndrome. Her foot is infected and has swollen to the size of a very large foot.

Tell us about the small things that have caused massive injuries.

Till tomorrow...

Thursday 21st Aug

nelsonkumah — Fri, 22 Aug 2008 00:16:49 +0100

Hello and welcome to the final episode of the week of these "Geoff Shows". Sit forward, be edgy and be sad.

As its GCSE results day, Geoff started to reminisce about school days and was wanting to know whether you went to school with somebody who turned out to be famous. If so what were they good at and which subjects did they fail at terribly?

Also, have you ever fallen foul to an infestation of any sorts? It can be absolutely anything; rodents, cockroaches, maggots, absolutely anything. We need to know.

Annabel was at home with her parents in sunny Southend recently and she noticed something strange. Her parents were watching a programme on Sky+ but they both had a remote control. They sat just one metre apart BUT both used the control at differewnt times to rewind, forward etc.

When did you notice that your parents had started to behave strangely?

I dropped an Ipod today that belonged to a work colleague of mine. She had literally just bought it from the Apple Shop on Regent Street, and the look she gave me when she saw what I had done was terrifying.

Tell us your stories of breaking something belonging to someone you know OR the newest thing that you've managed to break.

Till next week...

Wednesday 20th August - A Bolt out of lane 2

nelsonkumah — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 23:43:48 +0100

Hello and Hi De Hi.....What's up Wider Symposium members?! Geoff thinks that one of our work colleagues is not happy with him. The way he knows this information is that, he and this 'colleague' used to 'poke' each other on Facebook everyday for the past year. But since a little spat over the V Festival Weekend, in which Geoff has tried to make good, there has been NO poke contact between the two of them.

What are the small ways in which people let you know that they're upset with you?

Geoff was trying to say the word imbue earlier, but instead of that he managed to say imbibe. How does such a thing happen?

What are the words that you struggle with, get mixed up or just can't pronounce?

Annabel was on a weekend visit to her parents when she decided to make a stop at the house in which she grew up for the first 19 years of her life. The place looked desolate so Annabel took a peak around and was amazed to discover that a pencil inscription she had scribbled down in pencil as a six year old was still on the wall.

Where have you made your mark as a child that still remains today?

A colleage of ours, Rhiannon was dreaming up events that she might be able to take up in order to jump onto that bandwagon that is Team GB. She doesn't think that she could succeed in a current event, so was thinking of new events that she could invent to be made into Olympic events for 2012 so that she'd have a good chance.

What events can you dream up for the Great British public to have the best chance of winning gold in 2012.

Till tomorrow....

Tuesday 19th August - They went with Sadie

nelsonkumah — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 23:09:45 +0100

Hi there, How are you on this fine August evening? Do you work in a call centre or in a job where you are predominantly answering phones all day? If so Geoff's intrigued to hear your stories about the strange members of the public you may have come across in your time.

Also, Geoff would like your stories about stuff that's gone off or badly out of date. Try to think of a time when you've discovered some food that looks so ghastly that you'd rather eat the faeces of a lion.

Annabel would like you to tell us about the times when a small child has made you look stupid, feel ridiculous OR embarassed you. You know the kind of thing we're looking for..an innocent sexual comment or they've proved to be far more intelligent than you.

I'd like to know your stories about animal discrimination - positive or negative. I regularly feed the ducks at my local park but can never decide whether to feed the ducks, geese, swans or pigeons. To be honest the pigeons never win the battle.

Do you have stories of treating one animal better or worse than another? Don't be shy, let us know.

Till tomorrow......

Monday 19th August

nelsonkumah — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 17:52:08 +0100

Hey and welcome back to the "Geoff Show". I hope you managed to catch us over the V Festival Weekend. If not, never mind, we're back to normal this week.

After witnessing some very strange sights during the afore-mentioned Festival, Geoff got to wondering why and how people manage to keep such things in their houses.

Share with us those weird and unusual things that you've come across in the houses of others.
Also....can you tell us about the things you've got stuck on your fingers or thumbs....OR the places your hands have got stuck.

Annabel was talking to another member of staff while at the V-Festival. And these occasions are always good for making new friends and finding out new things about your workmates. So one of Annabel's colleagues was telling her about some parental advice he was given as a kid; Never wear anything or drink anything the colour of a highlighter pen! Strange, BUT good advice.

Were you given some random parental advice when you were a kid?

I was amazed and excited to bump into Snooker legend Steve Davis while at the V Festival this weekend. He appeared to be enjoying himself, hanging out with the likes of Russ The 'Rock' Williams. But Steve Davis has always had this reputation of being boring, so it was surprising to see him hanging out with such A-list celebs like the lead singer from Starsailor.

Have you seen a celebrity completely out of context?

Till tomorrow.......
