THERE'S NO "I" IN YPPEEE !

Chris Evans | 12:13 UK time, Tuesday, 1 May 2007

So gang guess what ?

We won.... not one but two !

Jeese, really, honestly could not believe it. I've won things before but never soberly, never this happy. I wish I'd have realised how much more fun it is this way years ago.

The feeling when you hear your name... it's like time stops and then everything goes quiet and you can see everything but nothing quite makes sense and you get up and everyone's looking at you and just beaming the widest smiles and you don't know what to do and the feeling is exactly how you imagined it to be, how you wanted it to be. You make your way to the stage, the people there are smiling at you and you stare and wonder what is you're supposed to do next and then someone gives you a nicrophonae, the clapping, whihc you can now hear begins to die down and you have to speak. But when you do it's like you're not there, it's like you're the one listening, still everyone's smiling and at some point whether it's been ten seconds or a minute or longer, you stop speaking and everyone claps again, a few more seconds and you're back stage having your photograph taken and you're shaking, proper shaking like a scared child. Then it's back to the table and then a few minutes later it all happened again, only second time it was worse ! Don't ask me why I have no idea.

The first award was for the show and they say the second was an individual award but how can it ever be, that's simply not possible.

The team are the best, the absolute best, it doesn't get any better. They are completely brilliant.

And you weren't there last night were you ? Well I wish you could have been, all of you because you are the reason we get to do what we love doing, so thank "you" so very much.

    Chris,

    I was so pleased for you all, when I heard the news. Great job everyone and actually CLP (at the risk of sounding a tad sychophantic...), you are the leader of Team Drivetime, your team are brilliant 'cos they want to be and you motivate them to be like that - so there!!!

    Gorgous weather again today and more of the same for the rest of the week - how on earth am I going to get any work done?

    I may even get dirty in the garden (not with Flutterby Man - not seeing him until Sunday night ;-) ) by actually doing something garden-like - see, the sun does strange things to me!

    Have a great day all!

    Chris, as if there was ever any doubt that you'd win! Superb show fully deserving both awards and the excellent comments from the judges too. It comes across very clearly to us listeners that you are a happy team working superbly well together.

    How about some of you on telly too? Would be nice to see you more, I'm a sucker for ginger!

    I'm sending champagne thoughts to all the team, hope you all had plenty of it last night.

    Quite right too!! It always surprises me when I realise that I only get to listen to half an hour of your show each day: you pack so much in that is interesting and fun and the music is always excellent. Most of all tho' it is is your hapiness and pleasure in life that is so good to hear. Thank you very much to you and your team - I am driving home from school each day when I listen and have completely relaxed by the time I get home.

    can I say, when Chris took over i was dreading the demise of the drive show as i hadn't liked Chris on his other shows and I though his style was lacking in humility, if you know what i mean.

    However you have won me over, the way he speaks to children and adults alike means he is not patronising and really does seem keen to know what the listerners think. Well done chris a complete turnaround! :-)

    Wow! How many entries today???? Good news travels fast eh?

    Your description reminded me of when my first daughter was born, the nurse handed her to me and it felt like someone had hit the mute button momentarily whilst I had all these smiley people grinning at me... happened on the next 2 babies too... best feeling in the world, love 'em.

    Been in the city shopping today, had a scrumptious lunch in Mambo's (missy, mulbarton boy and Em M will know where I mean). MrsW bought some new clothes as she is getting trim again after January childbirth and needs a whole new summer wardrobe.

    missy - you did cause a stir because us Norfolk folk like to look out for each other. I checked out your personal blog page too, you're far too attractive to be single for too much longer - don't fret pet, your prince will arrrive soon (might have to kiss a few frogs along the way tho'?). Have a great day in Holt with your mum, such a pretty place.

    I'm back at work next week after my lay off, the knee is improving steadily and I hope this 2nd op in 4 months is the answer.... actually missing my job???!!!

    Anyhoo, loving this weather, don't care about yellow grass, this sunshine is causing sooooo many smiley faces everywhere.

    #64 Gingembre thank you for the comment! wish they all thought like you. YumYum Mambo's its been ages since I've been there.

    Here's a funny story about that place. I went there for a meal a few years ago on a hen due. We were having a great time and then we ordered desserts. My mum (who was there as it was her friends daughter getting married) and I deceided to share a dessert. Now I'm allergic to all nuts (no jokes please!) and so ordered a dessert which was nut free. anyway after a few bites i felt a strange feeling in my mouth and then realised i had been eating nuts!!! to cut a very long story short, mum and i had to leave the hen due after i chucked up 3 courses and a lot of wine and dash to A and E, where i was kept in for a few hours!

    I have been back since as i love it there so so much but we always laugh about it (what else is there to do) as my hair was dyed pink for the night and i left pink all over the hospital sheets!!!!! I also had a halo on and fairy wings!!!!!

    Congratulations Chris and I am about to get barred now.

    From day one on radio2 when you very obviously were
    very nervous I was thinking to myself .. come on come on where is the old Chris Evans. It happened and you and you alone deserve the awards. Chris drop the fox the fox and busby they sound like media students with no personality at all. I have to admit I switch off mentally at the that time.

    Sorry but just an opinion

    Can we have a "First Time Fanfare" for Adults, or at least, Very Immature People.

    Delighted you and yours won the awards. I must admit to a degree of sceptism when you came to R2 but you have proved yourself to be the ultimate brilliant broadcaster and you have built a fantastic team around you,who all complement each other in style. I was really worried about Sally after Johnny left but you all seem to be looking after her really well and leading her totally astray, which is what she probably needs! Lang may your lum reek Chris.

    Great show last night & nice gesture with the shed!

    I've never thought about sheds before but now I can see so many possibilities - I suspect that the number of possibilities is a function of the size of your house, the number of children and the demands of your other half. Typically, now I can see the advantages, I have a garden the size of a postage stamp; my shed would look more like a cheap conservatory.

    My granddad converted what was an old air raid shelter into a shed, I remember him more by smell that image, an odd combination of damp soil & pipe smoke. The shed is till there & judging by the smell, so is granddad!

    At school kids would call each other shed, I thought at the time this must mean "smelly", but now I think it was probably a clever and abusive use of the apostrophe.

    Have a good day

    Love the Mambo's story, I'm sure the pink hair added to the occasion well!

    Going back a few dayd re: Sky TV well if anyone saw ITV's coverage of last night's Liverpool/Chelski game witnessed the perfect advert for getting a dish on your wall.
    They actually missed the start of the 2nd half!!! - muppets.
    ...great game, glad the ££££'s didn't win and the Kop sounded superb, the only poor thing about the game (in my humble opinion) was Clive Tyldsey the commentator, sorry folks just can't stand him, ended up muting the sound and putting the radio on.

    CLP well done again on your awards, perhaps you'd like to come to Norwich and celebrate with a meal at Mambo's with your Norfolk bloggers????????

    Morning all

    Absolutely #86 Gingembre

    What a fantastic game - thoroughly enjoyed it especially with the outcome. My ex is an avid Liverpool fan so have watched them faithfully for 12 years or more. Marvellous - and great to see Drogba miss from in front of the goal a couple of times. The cop singing always raises the hair on the back of my neck - Arsenal have always been quite quiet really.

    And Clive Tilsley - absolutely! He is so biased he makes me cross.

    So maybe giving the nasty little man some money to get Sky TV isn't such a bad plan after all.

    I've discovered I'm in Florence for the final - so I'm on a win-win situation. If Man U get through then it's an all England final and if Milan get through, how great will it be to watch Liverpool beat them whilst in Italy!

    Marvellous!

    I would like to add my congrats to the Anfield Reds and hope the Reds down the road can complete an all English final tonight! Come on you Red Devils!

    Clive Tyldesley - It's not his bias that bothers me, its the plain fact that he gets things wrong! "Oh and Drogba thinks he should had a corner (big surprise there) and I think he's right, but unfortunately the referee doesn't have the benefit of TV replays like we do, and it looks like Drogba was right." No Clive, the ball came off Drogba's foot, even with three replays you got it wrong!!!

    Give me Sky for footie anytime!

    What a day I've had so far (have written about it elsewhere so I don't upset any die-hards (other Bruce Willis films available) if you care to have a look) but it seems to be getting slowly better.

    It was nice to get to work, and you were all here. It is good to have consistency sometimes.

    So I just want to say thank you to Chris, again, for the blog...and I'd have been staring out of the window wondering when it all went wrong.

    ...as it is, I'd say with the full moon...

    I do like the way David Pleat continually corrects him in such a polite manner.
    Apart from all that I'm still bemused how they could miss the start of the 2nd half.........

    ....and to think they've just won some rights to future football (England and FA Cup I think??)

    Oh, and have a ball in Florence.

    So pleased for you Chris!
