If you want to think FM104 first thing in the morning.. have some on your toast!

Ya gotta love fire drills..

So the alarm went off in work at about 11 this morning.. All of Hume House's seven floors pack up Pembroke Rd..

And our Shay who managed to stand under a tree had a little accident.. well a little accident happened to him.

Can I just ask, when do you start feeling lucky when a bird decides to shit all over your freshly ironed shirt???!! ;-)

Well as you probably know.. FM104's What's That Sound has been going since November of last year.. it's now up to €1540 and I'm going to start putting up the guesses to help you along... I promise.. I will!!!

Let me know if it works!!!

Have Guinness changed something??

Having a pint .. or two in Gibneys out in Malahide last night and I got a brand new glass - it looks a bit different to the pint I had just murdered in the background...

Mmmmmmmmmmmm...

Always drink responsibly!!! ;-)

Only in Dublin would you get this!

Driving along in traffic this morning and I just had to take a picture.. I think the guy should just wash his van, it'd be a lot easier!!

Don't ever trust your colleagues...

This is what we did to Phil's (one of our agency sales guys) chocolate Easter bunny when he went downstairs for a smoke!!!

I was at the Ireland match last night, was a great atmosphere and Shay Given got such a reaction from the fans when he started gestering with his arms to start roaring...

It's been a while...

Some people are sooooooooo good at updating their online life.. me on the other hand !!

Just to update you on The Jam... What's That Sound is now at €1050 today which is a serious amount of money for someone to win and it could be you if you can solve what the sound is...

Leaving work last night was pretty cool as it was still bright - roll on the Irish summer.

Heading to tomorrow's match in Croker and I am hoping we can blag a win out of it. It used to be quite handy heading across the road to Lansdowne with the radio station being so close but it's a bit of a trek now to get there for a 7.30 kick off!!!

Don't forget to check out my FM104 Bebo where you can throw up a comment or sign up as a friend of the show.. it's all on http://fm104-dj.bebo.com

The nice people in Adidas sent me over a digital picture frame today...

There's actually a couple of cool interviews on it with Beckham and Jonah Lomu also (Becks talks about how he cried after getting sent off in that game in 1998!!!)..

I can't figure out how to put my own pictures on it but it looks cool on my desk all the same so thanks Adidas!!

Yes it really exits...

Weekend on the hog !

I was doing a bit of filling in at the weekend on air and I was back in the old weekend after haunt !

Being on air is great craic but after 7 days in a row on air (and it's back to Monday now again!) I have a serious work hangover..

The bugs who were on the roadhog at the weekend with me out in Blanchardstown...

Sara and Grace and Sara, Slaney and Grace!

DROOL!!!

I can't emphasise how much I adore cars... some guys like football, others like getting legless every weekend, my thing is cars!

And today while daydreaming I was looking at Carzone and this little beauty popped up.

If ever I win the Lotto...... €244,950! Pocket change :-)

Oops....US Navy girl sacked for posing in Playboy!

Sarge sacked over Playboy pics

A US Air Force drill sergeant has been demoted - for posing nude for Playboy magazine.

Michelle Manhart, who appeared in a six-page spread in the February issue, has been demoted from staff sergeant to senior airman.

"I'm disappointed in our system," Manhart said. "They went too far with it."

Manhart said she was reverted to her Air National Guard status and that she submitted a "resignation" to the Guard.

She was a member of the Iowa Air National Guard before going on extended active duty, reports Sky News.

The 30-year-old mother of two, said the military's action against her hinged on the fact that she was pictured wearing her uniform.

She was photographed in uniform yelling and holding weapons under the headline 'Tough Love'.
Additional pages showed her partially clothed wearing dog tags and fully nude.

After the pictures went public in January, Manhart was relieved of her duties pending an investigation.

Now, where's the nearest newsagents !!?

Here's the biggest TV I've ever seen!

I saw this in Dundrum last night. To be honest, the picture doesn't really do it justice...!

70" and I'd say it would take 5 or 6 normal sized people in a line to cover the screen from left to right..

The price? €7,500!!! But you do get the stand too :-)

THANK YOU !!

If you helped out and gave us money in any way for our Help A Dublin Child appeal..

This is just one of the pictures I took yesterday of some of the FM104 crew out collecting money! We got drenched but it was worth it to help out some very important kids.

So....

We flew to our Christmas party in Kerry last Saturday.. the landing was a bit, ropey, but not being a nervous wreck the second I step into a plane, I was fine with it all.. although there were a few white knuckles from some of the FM104 staff.. no names mentioned obviously!!

On the Sunday, the weather was just too bad to fly an ATR 72 (i'm a bit of a plane spotter) so we were told we'd be getting a bus to Dublin..!

Kerry to Dublin in a bus was not something many of us had planned so we decided to rent cars instead.

Ray who worked in engineering here and myself took it in turns to drive. We also had Jeremy from the phoneshow, Cathy from sales and Clare from traffic in the car too.

The pictures explain a bit more...

Such a cool prize on The Jam this week..

It's the Monday after our Christmas party down in Killarney.. ouch! Pics to follow!!!

Leopardstown Racecourse have given us a greta prize this week, tickets to the races at Christmas to win everyday on the show and on Friday the overall prize is a VIP tickets for you and 5 mates for the Christmas festival.. food, drink, enclosures.. posh stuff!!

Check it out today from 3pm..

Thought that might get your attention...

Ben is filling in for me on The Jam next week and you could win a pair of tickets to catch Bell X1 live at the Point next Fri just by listening in everyday...

Don't miss out!!

My desk...

Considering I sit at it for 5 hours a day.. I think my desk is kinda boring! But I thought I'd share it with you anyway...

More chances for you to get into the draw on Friday for an X Box 360 and a load of games so make sure you are here on The Jam from 3 today!

You'd want to be fairly bored!

To collect enough elastic bands to break the world record.. but this man has!

Thursday already!

Went to the match last night, great result, weird atmosphere?!

There were times when the grounds fell silent.. almost as if the crowd were dying with the grounds!

Shay got to barely touch the ball at all, it was great seeing Ireland do that to a team in an international match. Can we still hang in there now I wonder??

As you probably know this week thanks to River Island I have a €400 voucher to giveaway every single day so listen in today from 3 if you need a new wardrobe...

See you today at 3!

Tell me why....

What's That Sound is slowly but surely creeping up.. it's worth €110 today at 4.40. I still get texts asking what the last one was - it was an umbrella button being pressed and the umbrella then opening slightly.

Mark

Great prize this week up for grabs.. A holiday to Andorra and I've tickets Westlife, Bell X1, The Pogues, James Brown and The Divine Comedy for you to win everyday.

We're also up to €1660 on FM104's What's That Sound on The Jam at 4.40 - ish!

Great match...mostly!

Pity we didn't sink that second chance goal last night, Lansdowne would've erupted!

The atmosphere was really great and the fans really got behind the players and luckily it was no Saturday night repeat.

Virtually impossible for us to qualify for Euro 2008 now however.

Here's a couple of pics from my seat, I couldn't have asked for better ones.

FM104's Connect 3!

Our own little Hamster!

Here's Ross our main news anchor on The Jam everyday getting ready to go on air with one of the infamous FM104 umbrella hats!!!!

Doesn't he look a bit like Richard Hammond????!!

Listeners on the rip!

A couple of weeks ago on the show we sent two lucky listeners over to London and we got an email off them when they came back...

The boys (Gavin O' Hagan and David Fitzsimons) had an amazing time at the premier of Children Of Men.


The highlight of their evening was meeting Jarvis Cocker at the after party.


I really wish that I could have availed of the trip myself, but work just wouldn't allow it, however, I just wanted to thank UIP, and FM104, for giving them such a wonderful prize, they had a great time, and haven't stopped talking about it since they arrived home.


Thank you for everything,


Warmest Regards,


Audrey

Mel Gibson?!!

Robert Stone - the winner of the first two blanks in FM104's The Word. He gets nearly €6,500! Tomorrow morning at 8.15 he'll have a go at finishing the sentence and if he doesn't get it right it'll go on and on and on... 'til one of you gets it!

I've got a trip to Barcelona on give away on The Jam this week. Just text in on Jam Trivia and you could be flying off to a 4 star hotel.

Don't forget What's That Sound at 4.40 everyday on The Jam. It's worth €1510 today!

Let's hope he pulls through!

As a MASSIVE Top Gear fan I just want to wish Richard Hammond all the best and hope he pulls through after yesterday's accident.

He was injured doing what he does best and I believe he was enjoying driving the dragster so much that he asked for just one more shot and it was then that he was injured.

Thoughts are with the Hamster and his family and I hope Clarkson and James are sitting beside him taking the piss on the show again very soon.

Fancy a weekend break?
