So, Vinny was off today. A fine morning to stay in bed. Myself and Mary held the fort. We had an early chat about bad smells. Scientists have discovered that men smell of cheese and women smell of onions. Weird, I know! Anyway, we asked listeners what would be the worst thing their partner could smell of?
Looking back now, it was probably an ill-advised discussion. Some of the listeners suggestions were quite frankly shocking, and shouldn't have been aired. But it's Friday so we were all a bit giddy.
PJ represented Waterford on Beat the Bomb, and would you believe, he managed a ten - giving him the highest score of the week and an entry to our draw on March 6th for the trip away to Marbella!
Cheese or No Cheese was a hard fought battle this week. Beat Breakfast listener Claire picked the Cheese as it was her birthday. She chose Reel 2 Real "I like to move it", whilst Mary picked the Waterboys "Fisherman's Blues". We had a record amount of votes this week, but Cheese won it in the end.
The Hard One:-
What has a bottom at it's top?
Ans: Your leg!
So, that's it for another week. All three of us are in next week, where we'll be telling you all about Beat Your Significant Other!

ONE-PLY TOILET PAPER, TIBET AND DOG WIGS!
..just some of the topics covered on this morning's Beat Breakfast. The one ply toilet paper was a suggestion on how to save money in these times of recession. One texter said he lived with a guy who used to seperate his bog roll!
Here's a list of our favourite ways to reduce spending, as suggested by Beat Breakfast listeners
1: Take a shower with your hot housemate (if you have one! If you don't, then why not find one!)
2: Seperate your bog roll. Single ply means your roll will last at least twice as long!
3: Ben said he pretends to talk on his phone so his girlfriend has to pay for both of them in the chipper
4: Re-use/hang out your tea bags
5: Bring your own drink when you go out
We also asked listeners if you were to change your nationality, what would you change it to. Among the answers that came in, Stephen said he'd like to be Tibetan - so he could have 17 (count 'em) wives and never lift a finger. Top answer.
Mary couldn't decide if she would marry Niall or Vinny given the choice. Her reasons were if she married Niall, she'd be forced to live with the cats while Vinny's lack of enthusiasm for babies means there's be little chance of any mini-Marys.
Apparently the new thing in the animal fashion world (I'm glad I don't live there) is wigs for dogs! A new Californian based (only in America) company called Total Diva Pets can help you find that perfect style for your pooch.
Vinny's Big Hard One was a bit on the soft side.
-What has 6 faces but doesn't wear make-up and 21 eyes but can't see?
-The answer of course is a die (singular of dice)
We're back in the morning at 6.50 on Beat 102-103, and check back here tomorrow for more updates!
Cheers

Tuesday January 27th 09
A busy show this morning. The South East was still reeling from Mary's sad story yesterday about being the ONLY child not to receive a medal at a school sports event. To make her feel a little better, I have enclosed a photo of a medal that she COULD have won.
* I know it's a miraculous medal, rather than a sporting one, but let's be honest....beggars can't be choosers.
Today, we dealt with the contentious issue of culchies, and what makes someone a culchie. Some of the suggestions included bringing your own sandwiches to Croke Park, wearing wellies, and liking the Sawdoctors. A listener also suggested that saying hi to random strangers on the street means that you're a culchie!
We also spoke of the things that women get away with, but men wouldn't. Some of the suggestions include wearing a thong, faking a hurling match, and getting off with a member of the same sex without being accused of being gay.
Couple of other stories we featured on the show today:-
- The story that made Mary laugh hysterically... http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/article2172612.ece
- And the story about the man who was unlucky enough to get injured during his FIRST ever visit to a strip club.... http://www.metro.co.uk/weird/article.html?Ogler_injured_by_high-kicking_strippers_shoe&in_article_id=499071&in_page_id=2
What has one eye but can't see?
Ans: A Needle
More fun and games tomorrow.
