The plan
I do have a plan to get Popey singing but it could end up in my demise so I will have to be careful. I can't believe we haven't had any takers for the karaoke feature. I am a tad disappointed but hey ho the show will go on anyway. i can see us doing it by the seat of our pants as usual which is probs best anyway. i am however looking forward to the free meals thingy which sounds like a good deal to me.
Talking about meals, which I do with boring regularity, I feel it my duty to warn you if you are ever shopping in a certain, very famous, supermarket, VERY famous, for Sgabetti bolocknase, never never never choose the very very very cheap one over the £2-50 one. Why? I here you ask. Because if you choose the REALLY cheap one, you stand a very good chance of Mr "Sqirty Bottom" paying you a visit. You would be wise to heed my warning.
This rubbish weather is due to get better tomorrow. I hope so. I have lost two days tennis as it is so I'm hoping for a game tomorrow and again on Sat which is supposed to be REALLY hot and sunny.
So, only six more sleeps before the Popemeister and myself are back on the airwaves. I look forward to Stalking to you then and receiving your emails and Txts.
Over and Out for now. (apparently, that's wireless lingo)

Get me singing?! In your dreams!
So there's this worst/best karaoke competition which we are going to run on the show and Shax thought it was a great idea for him to kick it off and record himself singing Angels, however he seems to have got slightly cold feet and is trying to make me sing with him. This is not going to happen. He says he has a plan that will mean I will have to sing - I dread to think what this plan involves, but will do my utmost not to be fooled. (However should the plan involve vodka i don't have a hope in hell!)
Speaking of recordings there are two very good (maybe the word is funny) videos of Mr w (from the breakfast show) performing Maggie May and Handbags and Gladrags (also featuring shax on the drums). It's well worth a watch. The videos are on facebook, and I will upload the links to here later on for you all to enjoy!
I've just looked at the clock and realised that this time in a week the first show will be live! How exciting. That also reminds me that I need to finalise our free meal that I've been trying to get for before the show, so that we can do a review of a Marsh restaurant. Yet another thing for me to sort this week! So listen out for that next week too.
Anyway, I'm considering an early night. Am off to London tomorrow afternoon/evening to see Maximo Park so won't be home till late, so sleeping now is probably a good idea.
Popey xxx
p.s. please give me a call at the station if you want to do the karaoke thing....(un)surprisingly haven't had (m)any people come forward yet! (tel 01797 362000)

Shax Is Finally Up
Bank holiday Sunday. The weather is warm and sunny. I have finally arisen from my pit after a surprisingly busy night dj'ing at Bar Academy & Rivals.
Liz and I have come up with a worst Karaoke singer competition for the forthcoming radio show and I have foolishly offered to go first with my rendition of Angels which is truly truly awful. I have no concept of pitch or key so it might well be worth tuning in to hear as I am possibly the SECOND worst singer in the universe!. Who is the worst? I hear you cry. Well, I have no idea but surly there must be one somewhere!!!!!!!! Actually, I am wondering just how good Popey is. Mmm now there's a thought!
I am off to a party this afternoon to celebrate a friends BDay with the rest of the Hythe tennis club crew so I wish you a fantastic bank holiday!!!

Shax is contemplating an early night!!!!
Back from the Frenchman pub... Live band were a blues band. I knew it wasn't for me when I felt my eyes closing to the delightful strains of "since I lost My baby" for the umpteenth time. There are only so many ways of doing a twelve bar before it becomes unbearable. Just my opinion you understand. Shout if you think different. I will not be including any blues stuff on the show.
Time for bed.............Anyone? Ok. Night then !!!

Pope gets in early on a friday night!
Well im just back from the pub ("with shax?" i hear you say....no with the girls), and have had a couple of pints of that strong cider stuff which they serve in chambers (another fstone place, for anyone who doesnt know).
Anyway, I'm very excited about the radio starting again. Not that it's stopped - you can listen online 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.....but it isnt quite the same as when we are on FM. Something a little bit special about being able to listen so easily in your car, or at work. Or in the bath. do you have one of those little shower radios? i do. they are well good. drowns the sound of my singing out. anyway....radio...yes...erm. tuesdays 9 till 11 is mine and shax's show and as he said on his earlier blog it will be mayhem! we have no idea what's will be going on. our radio planning session involved too much alcohol and we got very little done. though what we did do was tres amusing (even if i say so myself).
one feature i can promise is our food review. before each of the shows we are going to go for dinner and review the marsh restaurant which we went to! i've got a couple of places lined up, but if you happen to know of a local restuarant or food serving pub which would like to give us a free meal in return for masses of plugs on our show then let me know.
right im going back to facebook now. speak to you all very soon. and hope you like the blog!

Hi
Hi I'm Dave Shax. I will be co-hosting with Liz Pope on a show called 'Mayhem with Liz & Shax' which will include some serious mischief making every Tuesday night from 9 till 11 on 87.8 Romney Marsh Fm starting Tuesday the 2nd June 2009. Also online at www.romneymarsh.fm
Friday 22nd May,
Today i am feeling great with no trace of a hangover.... strike!!!!!
Popey and I got our heads together last night (yes, just our heads) and recorded some stuff for the forthcoming Liz n Shax show on Tuesday evenings. Much Pino Greasio was drunk plus a little vodka after which the evening's work quickly descended into the usual chaos that occurs when Liz & myself indulge in too much alcohol(She is such a bad influence on me). However the resulting sketch and teaser made us both laugh muchly. We look forward to airing the results on our first show on Tue the 2nd June
We also had a chinese takeaway to help lessen the effects of the Pino Greaseo. I have just done the washing up and boy does that sweet & sour sauce take some shifting!!! No seriously, it took a hammer and chisel to get the stuff off the plates and cuttlery. Just think what it does to your stomach?.
Anyway, I'm off to the 'Frenchman' now to see a live band. (The Frenchman is a pub here in Folkestone for those that are not familiar with the town).
Please join our facebook group as well and feel free to blog away either here or there.
