Mac's podcast links
So Annie in her post Christmas state couldn't quite work out how to put a link to Russell Brand's podcasts, so has called upon me to do it for her... which is great as this can count as her Christmas present and mean the box of chocolates I have for her can be eaten by me. Yum Yum.
Anyway, like Annie I've been a big fan of Russell's radio shows since 6 Music and his podcast is an audio delight, you can download it HERE! While we're at it I'll also advise you to download all the Radio 1 podcasts they're great (especially Annie's mini-mix one) and I also laugh my head off at Russell Howard's 6Music postcast. Get the Radio 1 ones HERE and the 6Music one HERE.
Catch you on Sunday from 7.

post christmas bloat
my belly is awash with homecooked food, and Chocolate Kimberlys and Tayto cheese and onion crisps. The latter two foodstuffs are both Irish only and I hold them both in the same esteem as I would a close family member. They are just as much a part of coming home as everything else.
I have been mainly eating, snoozing on the sofa and reading Russell Brand's 'My Booky Wook'. It is brilliantly written as you would expect as the man has a vocabulary that rivals the girl who approves the words in Countdown. My favourite word learnt has been 'recalcitrant' which means 'willfuly disobedient'.
I have been an avid listener to Russell's radio 2 podcasts and his 6music ones before that. It's funny when you listen to a radio show every week, especially Russells, as all he does is laugh and mess around with his mates Matt Morgan and Gee. I feel like I know each character really well just from hearing them chinwag every week so it make the book much more exciting. I also ran into Mr. Matt Morgan himself in a pub last week and had to restrain myself from asking a million questions. I will endeavour to get both Matt and Russell into Switch one sunday evening in 2008 so we can all quiz them on their depraved antics.
Chris if you are reading this please can you put a link to Russell Brand's podcast so the lovely readers have a clue what I'm talking about.
I'll be back next sunday with Grimmy to catch up. In the meantime Happy christmas everyone and three cheers for Grimmy who did an amazing job on his own last week....xxxx

Yucky Cheese
Hey Everyone,
Hope you're all good and looking forward to Christmas. It's a busy old week in the Switch office to get everything ready for this week's show. Grimmy's flying solo as Annie's over in Ireland, so be sure to tune in from 7 to give him your love, support and text messages.
Earlier today big cheese producer Megan had a jacket potatoe with Cottage Cheese on it. I mentioned how I'd never had it before because I don't really like cheese as a rule, and it looked all yucky. She then put some on a fork and got me to try it, not only that, but she also said we can film it for the blog... so here it is me, trying cottage cheese.... judging by the results I'd be amazing on I'm A Celeb... ha!

Bee there or bee square
We were talking about on the show today, and I am very very embarrassed because I declared to the world that I thought honey came out of bees bums. Reg D Hunter our comedian agreed with me in thinking it was butt honey but iIn fact thanks to the interweb we found the true answer.
They use their long, tongues like straws to suck the nectar out of the flowers and they store it in their "honey stomachs which is like a nectar backpack . The honeybees return to the hive and pass the nectar onto other worker bees. These bees suck the nectar from the honeybee's stomach through their mouths. These "house bees" "chew" the nectar for about half an hour. The bees then spread the nectar throughout the honeycomb. Once the honey is gooey enough, the bees seal off the cell of the honeycomb with a plug of wax. The honey is stored until it is eaten. In one year, a colony of bees eats between 120 and 200 pounds of honey.
It was nice to see that somebody else lives in Stretham and he had possibly the coolest voice… ever. Thanks everyone so much for listening to Switch, texting and all that sort of stuff. Can't wait for more fun in the new year… look after Grimmy for me next week while I'm off celebrating Christmas early.
Merry Christmas,
Annie x
p.s now enjoy some Bee comedy.. I'M COVERED IN BEES.

Dannii tries to outsmart our Chris with a different tactic. She plays the Yes/No game to throw him off the scent and stop him reading her mind but will it work?

When Dannii Minogue met The Mind Reader - Part One
Well howdy there! Now, you may know that Lil' Chris is charming and funny and a bit clever but did you ALSO know that he can read your thoughts? I know what you're thinking but no, he claims that he hasn't got the superpowers like some character out of Heroes but it's all a trick. Watch and learn as Dannii Minogue tried to outwit the man that is Chris Cox: Mind Reader Extraordinaire...even though he can't really read minds. And this is just part one!
