´óÏó´«Ã½

Dear Computer Friends,

Collie Minogue here. Just thought I’d write you a quick dogblog telling you about the inspiration behind my latest record. It came to me late the other night, and I just had to scribble down my thoughts and passions which were the inspiration for the track. I feel that it’s a celebration of dog culture, and a way of highlighting dog issues that affect us all.

For a while I’ve felt that dog based pop music isn’t represented in this country as much as it should be, so I’m delighted with the response to the record, and hope that it will allow other dog based music to flourish.

Until then thanks for all your support and continue to keep it ruff!

Kind thoughts,

Collie Minogue x

P.S If you missed it, you can hear it below...

Good morning bloggles..I am having to do a quick one today as I am dashing off for some footballer action shortly!
Well have we or have we not had our fastest lap ever..that is the question - the lovely Adrian Chilles from the One Show, Match of the Day, etc was like a whippet around our studios...through that live lounge faster than lightening - he's over taken the uber competitive Peter Jones and Davina McCall. But in an Alan Partridge Aha way - we've since discovered the builders had left one of the doors open...A stewards enquiry is now underway..but in case you missed it here's Adrian's lap for you to enjoy...

Hello, Dom here.

First it was that big fire at Buncefield which popped our airing cupboard door open, now there's EATHQUAKE HELL!

Just before 1am this morning I was awoken by the sound of shaking radiators (good name for a band). It turns out this wasn't our boiler packing up, it was a proper full-on earthquake!

Please tell me your earthquake stories. There is no prize available for the best one.

Thankfully we all made it through okay. Here's to no more tremor action in 2008.

I came well-prepared for the Celebrity Lap, so check out my sportswear and watch me run all the way to the top of the celebrity leaderboard from my helmet cam!

Its never good to start the week, a monday morning feeling absolutely gutted but hey thats life sometimes! Spurs won the Carling Cup - to be honest Chelsea didn't play as if they wanted it until the last 3 minutes of extra time which is just far too late. Got a ticket at the last minute and sat with Super franks Mum and Dad behind me. They weren't looking too happy come the end. A sharp exit by all but thanks to the lads who cheered me up on the tube leaving Wembley..After Jo Whiley had her fun I thought it had all come to an end and I could bury my head but now at ´óÏó´«Ã½ London I am being sent off to White Hart Lane to get fans reaction! Brilliant!!

Hi - I couldn't make it to the Britis so instead i watched it in the privacy of my lounge. Sort of privacy anyway - my wife was filming me watching it on TV in a kind of Sky Sports News style......hey - here it IS....

Aled has done a proper blog about all the artists the team were hanging out with last night - take it away Al...

Thanks Dom

Wow – where do I start?

First the showbiz… and my favourite Brits video:

More of those here

Now the non – here is the a couple of shots from outside the Radio 1 studio.

Not quite what you’d expect the Brits to look like huh?

Hi fans of the blog it's Rachel here.

This week is a very odd week. I'm working in the day. It means I don't have to get up a stupid o clock and have to do that thing of travelling in the rush hour. Plus I get to see daylight - all good!! As you know I usually produce the show, but this week and for the next few weeks I'm in the office doing all the backstage stuff and working on a big Sport Relief project. You'll hear all about that soon. Whilst I'm talking about it, have you signed up for the ? Takes place all around the UK on 16th March. I'm using it as an excuse to get fit and have decided to go for the 6 miler.

Hello everyone - hope you're all well and happy. I have a bit of a sore throat at the moment but other than that all is fine.

Now then - the ´óÏó´«Ã½ has its own in-house magazine called Ariel. This name is very clever as it can relate to a TV ariel or a radio ariel. I like it. Anyway in the latest edition of the mag there's a special feature on the launch of Radio1's Big Weekend in Maidstone. But .... there's a very funny mistake on there!!!

Hello and good evening

This is a bit of a late blog, if truth be known it's because Rachel and I have swapped roles for this week as Rachel has to work on some very cool Sport Relief stuff that the show will be doing soon and I haven't adapted to the early starts that well yet!! Waking up at 4am isn't natural I tell you!

Sharon and Ozzy came on the show this morning. Last year they were our favourite guests and they didn't disappoint this time round either. You can always Listen Again if you missed, and then as you're listening to the show check out Sharon's video because she ACTUALLY ran the lap! Ha ha! It would have been perfect if I hadn't forgotten to time it! Oops.

Tomorrow on the show we'll be rating the guests. Why don't you reply to this blog with your rating and I'll collate the results and read it out on air.

I've been very naughty and didn't blog at work so I'm currently dictating it to Hoop Dogg whilst on the bus.

As we've noticed our comments systen hasn't been working properly - but we still want more interaction with you!

I need some suggestions for a first dance at the wedding. I'm currently having rows and bother with Major Tom over it.

Dear Webfriends, Happy New Year from me. It seems that I haven’t blogged properly this year with the exception of the banana eating video, so Aled thought I should drop you a line to say hi.

Weirdly, a bus crashed in London yesterday into the same bridge that I crashed into a few years ago...

Hello Chris Moyles Show fans

We were thinking that we haven't had many comments on this blog recently - what do you think about that? (comments welcome)

Yours,

Dominic A Byrne

Hi bloggers (and via Facebook)

It’s Friday! Yay! I’m sat in the office at my desk, Chris is behind… me in fact here’s a video of it…

Chris is in fact writing down key dates of events we have coming up over the next few months.

It’s been another busy week – even with the hour painting – and next week looks busy too. We have some big news on the social networking sites coming up – especially if you’re young.

As far as I can work out he was a beaten favourite or something..

Erm - no it's not actually its me, Dominic Byrne. I am a huge u2 fan though so a great night was had by all at the screening of the new U23D film. It's U2 - in 3D!!!! The title kind of gives that away probably. It's really good and at one point Bono was sitting on my left shoulder. Amazing.

Here is a special video of my post-film thoughts:

Hi there,

I’m Matt – the assistant producer on the Chris Moyles show. You may know me for being (supposedly) in love with Sarah, the former Unit Assistant (although it was really the other way around) or for supplying Chris with fantastic sound-a-likes such as The Feeling and Supergrass. Supergrass are great, aren’t they?

This morning I came on the Chris Moyles Show (photo, listen again here) and did their celebrity lap.

Take a look at me running the lap from the point of view of my helmet cam!
