Tis true! Hello Chris Moyles Show blog fans, and welcome to the blog... on the road!

As I type the two Rallyoke Tour Buses and the Truck of Luck are winding their way through Salisbury. They're SOOO cool.

There are beds and, if someone gets on your nerves there are three seperate seating areas with tables, oh and a toilet. We're told the Pussycat Dolls had it before us, and Fall Out Boy will be having it after us 鈥 maybe we'll leave them a pressie.

It's not long though before you start to realise how unglamarous it is thought. Don't get me wrong, I'd hate to do a whole Joss Stone on you and moan about this 鈥 cause before I worked on the Chris Moyles Show I never thought I'd be writing a blog about being on a tourbus! - but there are a few issues.

Firstly our tour buses are 鈥渨rapped鈥 - that is industry speak for having them entirely painted with Chris face all around them. Looks the biz, but we can't see out! So we're currently making the five hour journey complete cut off from daylight being shaken around (as you do on the road) with no-idea where we are. That's a whole new level of travel-sickness!

It also poses a problem now that we're going to zoo to drive with the animals. As... we won't be able to see them. I'm secretly hoping the monkeys pick our tour bus to jump on and pick away at enough of the paint to let some light in! :)

Enough about our ungrateful moans, what about last night's Rallyoke? Which is, after all what this is all about. Well it was a complete success. Months worth of nerves were all put to one side last night as everything went to according to plan. Our brand new stage made especially for the tour looked great. The audience were great and really up for it and McFly played along as we hoped they would. Getting Harry off his drums and singing karaoke was very funny. Good voice mind!

Dave's just done his 鈥減honer鈥 into Vernon, announcing that we're throwing two tickets to Leeds Festival into the Truck of Luck which you can win by sending a text to 82125 saying 鈥淭RUCK鈥 and the letter that corresponds to
the answer of the following question: McFly joined Chris and the team in Bournemouth last night. But what was the name of the single they recorded for Comic Relief in 2005? is it a) Star Girl, b) Patience or c) It's All About You. If you think it's say, c) you'd send a text to 82125 saying 鈥淭RUCK c鈥. It'll cost 拢1 with at least 70p going to Comic Relief. The current competition ends at 7.40am tomorrow (Sunday) but there'll be a whole load of new prizes available then! Terms and conditions

We've just had a new total which is standing at the moment at 拢183,020. Brilliant. But there's room for more, from every 拢1, 60p is spent in Africa and 40p is spent on projects in and around the community you live in, so it's a win/win situation. Plus, as I learned this week unlike some charities, with EVERY penny that's donated to charity is spent as charity 鈥 none of the donated money is taken out for admin costs.

Right, we're arriving at Longleat. Here we go! Watch out for those monkeys!!!

Joss Stone must be laughing up her Versace sleeves at your "ungrateful moans" and lack of anything humane conditions-wise due to Chris's extremely large head.

There's something so right and true and just about that.

Spotted the Rallyoke buses driving through Salisbury but the lead bus was not displaying a rear number plate - is that legal?

Oooh would love to hear what you thought of B'mouth. Especially TOFS (The Old Firestation) and all the people there. Have lived in B'mouth for 8 yrs, went to Uni there, worked for the Students Union who run TOFS and am now living here with my husband. Still don't want to leave.

So let us know what you all thought. Hope you had a fantastic night and everyone at TOFS was good to you.
