This week my update is inspired by a set of CDs I just bought called 101 Driving Songs - random? Well, you be the judge!
Saturday
How you remind me (Nickelback)
Half an hour or so well-spent on the Johnathan Ross show. Very amusing, JR claiming action man plaudits he clearly doesn't deserve, and our very own Gethin Jones looking like 'a young athlete' ! 'Wossy' disses hurricanes as 'a bit of wind' and says he isn't going to watch things where they aren't actively riding along - yeah, right!
A video appears on the SCD website with a spoof behind the scenes piece - a supposed 'Arlene' runs her red-painted fingernail down a picture of Geth.....and answers the phone with a husky, 'Gethin' - made me chuckle anyway.
We find out we missed a magazine last week - 'Zoo' turns out to be a Lads' mag that we are all far to wussy to go and buy.
Sunday
Purple Rain (Prince and the Revolution)
The day has finally arrived and we await it with eager anticipation - what am I on about? Gethin Jones' Danger Hunters of course, what else.....
But first, the papers......The Telegraph 7 magazine has the programme as today's highlight, all the others have it as some form of choice...result!!
The show itself is a-may-zing, really well done, Geth - amusing, and with some genuine moments of high drama - a definite rush of adrenalin when a waterspout was spotted tearing up a boat - *eeek*. We now know why Geth didn't tell his mum what he was doing......and we sympathise with Katherine. However, it was a gripping programme well-presented and showing that even under pressure and very scary conditions, our boy can a) keep talking and b) keep smiling. Happy Days! Our favourite bit was a frustrated yell of 'This boat is BROKEN!!'
Some new snow photos appear on the Virgin1 website.
Monday
Manic Monday (the Bangles)
I've said before - I hate Mondays
Tuesday
Bad to the bone (The Destroyers)
Someone who shall remain nameless put a copy of 'Zoo' in her online shopping basket. Turns out there is a nice picture in the article, and that's about it!
Heat magazine has decided Tom Chambers is their new 'Strictly' squeeze, and declares 'Move over, Gethin!'. However, it appears the love affair is not over as Geth will be visiting Heat Towers on Friday 10th to guest on Heat Radio's 'Diet Coke Break'.....still Gorgeous Gethin to Heat!
We find out from a Welsh source that Geth was on a radio programme on Monday, which we track down and listen to. Nice to hear him sounding so happy and relaxed!
Change of plan - news from our man at Virgin1 - says the shows will first air on Wednesdays - starting on the 8th. So that's Weds at 10 repeated on Sun at 9 - got that? Good!
Wednesday
The life of Riley (The Lightning Seeds)
Gethin, Zoe and Andy are in the Guinness book of records (Gethin for lemon-sucking - blimey!)
They are also going to Buck House for the Blue Peter party that her Maj is throwing.
Thursday
Love Potion No 9 (The Clovers)
Well, Hello! - nice full page article and picture. Gethin drinks cocktails - who'd a thought it! Passion and ginger eh - spicy!
My 2009 Blue Peter annual arrives (as GG ClaudiaforQueen put it - 'oohh , Christmas!') - page 52 is rather nice....
Friday
Here I go again (Whitesnake)
Geth is still linked with Strictly - and does his bit in the Telegraph - seems he'd like to get John in front of the drama coach who made HIM believe wiggling his bottom was worth watching, unleashing the beast within (thank you, thank you!).
*NEWSFLASH* - New pics and videos on the Virgin 1 site
