Did you see the Dereck Chisora fight with David Haye, half way through a press conference broke out.

Seriously though, where on earth did the weekend go, did somebody pinch it. I just started having a nice time and it was over, nightmare. Kirstyn and I were in yesterday doing another Kent Charity Challenge. This week we started in Canterbury and were attempting to raise money for the MS Therapy Centre, or the new centre that they want to build. The first ‘random item’ we had to find was a telescope and we had to travel over to Folkestone to get it. Next up was an original copy of ‘Now that’s what I call music’. We found one in Ashford, so we put it on the back burner until we headed back to base later on. The third item was a Wonder Woman outfit and we did get a couple of people call up to suggest popping in to Argos in Folkestone to get it, which we promptly did. Barry, or Bazza as I like to call him, then helped us out with item four which was a grandfather clock. We were cooking with gas at this stage, that was until the final hurdle because we just couldn’t find the elusive Take That duvet. But £150 isn’t too shabby, plus we got an anonymous donation of fifty quid, which gave us the full amount anyway.

Today’s merging game was putting together songs and TV programmes, like Coronation STREET life, get it, got it good, here is the top ten:

10. Play SCHOOLS out

 9. Heaven is a place on PLANET earth

 8. Song for FAMILY guy

 7. NightRIDERs on the storm

Also, we are building up to next weeks big holiday giveaway which this time could see you heading off to Andorra as we play ‘Yes or Snow’. You can register right now by texting the word SKI to 87474 adding your name and postcode and good luck.

I don’t care if Monday’s blue, Tuesday grey and Wednesday, Thursday I don’t care about you, it’s Friday I’m in love. Monday you can fall apart, Tuesday Wednesday, break my heart, Thursday doesn’t even start, its Friday I’m in love. I don’t care if Monday is black, Tuesday Wednesday heart attack, Thursday never looking back, It’s Friday I’m in love.

Right, enough of that, without further ado, let’s get in to today’s merge; it’s songs mixed with solo artists.

And a very special mention to ‘Another one bites the Alvin STAR-dust’

Loving the fact that Free Movie Friday is back and rocking along. Today we were giving away five pairs of tickets to see Star Wars-Episode 1-The Phantom Menace. It has been digitally re-mastered and is now in 3D and you also get given a set of bespoke 3D glasses to keep, for free. The question was pretty straight forward; well it is for Star Wars buffs anyway, which was, who was the director of all the films? The answer, which is George Lucas, allowed me roll out another one of my name-dropping anecdotes. So, when I was a cameraman, we had to go to Ozzy Osbournes house to film his lovely wife Sharon. Anyway, whilst having a bit of a lunch break, Ozzy very kindly took us on a tour of the beautiful gardens. Next to the immaculately groomed lawn was what can only be described as, a forest. It was at this juncture that he informed us that he had bought the house from none other than aforementioned Mr George Lucas. And the forest that we were standing in was where they shot the epic scene in which the storm troopers were chasing Han Solo on their ‘speeder bikes’. How about that for a story!

One of the first things that caught my eye this morning was in the ‘this day in history’ section. In 1974 before The Brits was invented, it was called, wait for it because this is a right mouthful, ‘The UK Music Weekly Disc Readers Award Poll (I told you)’. Top UK Group went to Slade; Top Musician, Roy Wood (Wizard); David Bowie won the UK AND World Male Singer, plus Top Single for ‘Jean Genie’ AND Album with ‘Aladdin Sane’; Top Female Singer Lynsey De Paul (remember her) and, wait for it, The Brightest Hope category was won by the one and only David Essex.

My ‘merging game’ today was mixing up songs and groups, here we go;

10. Crazy for You (U) B40

 9. Weather GIRLS on film

 8. Paint it BLACK Sabbath

 7. The BEAT Surrender

 6. West-LIFE on Mars

 5. Lilly the PINK Floyd

 4. The JAM-ming

 3. Culture CLUB Tropicano

 2. One way or ANOTHER level

 1. Dancing in the manic STREET preachers. It doesn’t quite work, but it made me laugh.

It’s Kentish Express Thursday and the front page is a very disturbing story that had us seething. It’s all to do with the killer of the murdered Ben Neilson and the fact that, from prison, he is somehow on Facebook.

My column pays tribute to a fantastic lady named Mary Daly, hence the headline ‘there’s something about Mary’, genius.

Our Olympic Gold medal winning local legend Jamie Staff has been back in town, find out why (by the way, I’m a bit miffed as he didn’t tell me)

A great story about 4 local lads that travelled to the football World Cup Finals, all dressed as Fabio Capello’s and how they are dreading having to now emulate Harry Redknapp (bit harsh).

And one of my favourite part of the paper, the sports pages. One of the stories is about my mate Mark Patterson, who has recently been lured back to Gillingham FC from the Ashford United/North School Academy.

All that, plus so much more.   

So the aftermath of Valentines Day was very evident, particularly when it came to our Tunnel of Love competition which has been rumbling on for the last few weeks and the reveal was finally out of the bag. To recap, we asked you ladies to drop us a line about your other half’s, and that was it, apart from tell you it would be an incredible Valentines treat. We then collated them all and chose our final three, worthy winners. We took them to Leeds Castle for an overnight stay and then through the course of the day we unveiled it all little by little, culminating in our three ladies popping the question to their fella’s live on air. I have to say, being the rather dark humoured type I am, some very small piece of me was hoping that someone would say no, but I am a bit twisted. Fortunately, for our ladies, all of the boys said yes and thank goodness for that.

My Valentine night was spoilt by some stupid little man in a black kit, not just my night actually, 35 thousand others night as well. I spent the evening watching my team West Ham United, who are top of the league, against second placed Southampton. We turned up with great expectations at the atmosphere was electric as we greeted the team, as always, with a rousing rendition of ‘I’m forever blowing bubbles’. The game started well and we looked most likely to score, that was until the aforementioned stupid little referee decided to interfere with our night and unbelievably send off one of our team for no apparent reason. Their player played a part in it, it has to be said, by falling over so dramatically, he’ll probably get an Oscar. Fortunately we scored from the spot and managed to hold on until ten minutes from the end when they sadly equalised. Hey ho, not to worry, still top of the league.

So my merging game today was pop singers and here is your top ten;

10. George MICHAEL Jackson

 9. Olivia Newton JOHN Cougar Mellancamp

 8. Cliff RICHARD Marx

 7. Lyndsay De PAUL McCartney

 6. Ma-DONNA Summer

 5. Mel C-ee-lo Green

 4. Jessie J-Lo

 3. Craig DAVID Essex

 2. Alvin Star-DUST-y Springfield

 1. Peter ANDRE 3000   

Love is in the air, everywhere I look around, love is in the air, every sight and every sound. And, I don’t know if I’m being foolish and don’t know if I’m being wise, but it’s something that I DO believe in and it’s there when I look in your eyes, Ashford, Tenterden and surrounding areas. That’s right my friends, its Valentines Day and the majority of us are feeling the love. But not everyone is joining in with the amore, some people hate the day and would rather it just go away.

But majority rules and we have to observe your requests, so the love was flowing. Plus we had our own Rob Wills out on location with three of our lucky winners from The Tunnel of Love. We’re still not exactly sure what ‘the big surprise’ is going to be, but we’ll all find throughout the course of the day as Rob will be in touch regularly, its all very exciting.

This mornings ‘merging game’ was all about mixing up pop GROUPS and here is your top ten.

10. The rolling STONE roses

 9. Go WEST-liffe

 8. The aero-SMITHS

 7. Beach BOYS 2 men

 6. Adam and the ANT(s) and Dec

 5. Boney M People

 4. Spice GIRLS Aloud

 3. Average WHITE-snake band

 2. Steelye SPAN-dau Ballet

 1. Dave Clark FIVE-star-ship (there are four in there, nice work Benno)

Apart from that, more love stuff with our listeners, but there was no love lost in the studio. Kirstyn always seems to be on red alert on Valentines, I really wish she’d get herself a man; it would take all the pressure off. But we have to take out hats off to one couple who have been married for 79 years, that’s seventy nine years. Helen has just turned 100 and her toy boy Lionel is a mere 99, the whippersnapper.

Another weekend of snowy stuff, which leads to the fact that our ‘right results’ service gets affected, which is always a bit disappointing, it had to be said. But fear not my friends, because although we said farewell to that feature, we said a big hello to an old friend that has popped back to visit us, namely The Merging Game. I did this a while back for a few years and it got a bit exhausted, so I gave it a rest and some time to chill out and now it’s back, bigger, better and fitter than ever. It was a re-launch worthy of the red carpet treatment. So here are the rules, take two things, and then merge them together, EASY. Today, it was two pop songs and here is your starter for ten. Take It Must Be Love and add Love In An Elevator and you have It Must Be LOVE In An Elevator, got it, good, here is your top ten.

Too much too YOUNG guns

It wasn’t ME and Mrs Jones

Dancing in the MOONLIGHT shadow

Cherry oh BABY love

Stop in the name of LOVE me tender

Blame it on the BOOGIE nights

Only YOU raise me up

California GIRLS on film

Golden BROWN sugar

House of FUN fun fun

So talking of lists, we had yet another ‘do you know anyone called….’ Game and this time it got going because a listener called Bruce had a birthday, so here is our ‘Bruce’ top ten.

Wayne (batman)

Banner (incredible hulk)

Grobelaar (don’t think it’s the correct spelling, but he was the Liverpool goalkeeper)

Hornsby (and The Range)

Walsh (The Shadows)

Lee (Kung Fu)

Springstein (The Boss)

Willis (Die Hard)

Forsythe (good game)

Almighty (Jim Carey)

There was other stuff, but I don’t want to spoil you, it is only Monday for goodness sake.

I’ve got that feeling again, it’s the feeling that only a Friday can bring. You know me, I tend to get a bit over excited and actually hyper ventilate on occasions. Had a bit of a night on the tiles yesterday and came in a tad weary, but that didn’t last long when I remembered what day it was and that I was giving stuff away in my ‘Webbo I’m In’ competition, plus another three course meal for two at Eastwell Manor AND the welcome return of Free Movie Friday, what an absolute joy.

After the roaring success of yesterday’s ‘How Many People Called Lionel Can We Think’, today, for your entertainment, we played the same game, but with the name Kirk instead. It did fall a bit flat it has to be said, because all we got was Kirk Douglas (I’m Sparticus, no no, I’m Sparticus and so is my wife) and that bloke called Kirk something or other from The Only Way Is Essex and Celebrity Big Brother. Never mind, next week we’ll try Sidney.

It is with a heavy heart that we say farewell to the ‘Intro Game’ (don’t shoot the messenger) but we welcome back the ever popular Merging Game. You know the one, we take two different things and mix them up. As a bit of a heads up I’ll give you an example. On Monday we will merge two pop songs together, like It Must Be LOVE In An Elevator. You get it?

So let’s hope the snow stays away, I’m bored with it now, plus there we want to do the Kent Charity Challenge on Sunday, I missed it last week.

Got to go, things to do and people to see, so have a brilliant weekend, stay safe, stay warm and I’ll see you for Valentine’s week.  

Back in the frame again for my photo competition with the Mayor of Ashford and our local MP Damian Green. I managed to get in twice with no sign of my competitors (I don’t count the picture of me next to my Webbo’s World column, that’s a gimme, oh and talking about my column that’s on page 6 every week, I must have had some kind of sixth sense kick in. I decided to write about the shambles of the England football team and how it was time for change. Well blooming heck, the day before it comes out, Mr Cappello decides to resign, he must have known I reckon). So you can find Kirstyn and I on page 14 as we help launch the Food4Thought campaign that the British Heart Foundation have set up and our very own Towers School are supporting. And then on page 22 you will, rather embarrassingly, find me also on page 22. I say embarrassingly, because I’m wearing the same shirt and suit that I was pictured in the paper last week, oops, bit of a faux pas. But it’s not all about me because I was happy and privileged to be invited to the launch of The Butterfly Blastoff, a gala evening which marked the start of fundraising campaign organised by the Kent MS Therapy Centre. My new friend and her willing helpers put on an incredible night which managed to raise £10,000 to help sufferers of multiple sclerosis.

The front page is all about the story of a father and son who ran their own tyre business. But behind the scenes, they were running a much more lucrative business, growing cannabis, it’s an incredible story.

There are also some brilliant pictures featuring all the snow that fell last week, we really do have the best photographers in the world (ish). Talking of pictures, check out the centre pages where you will find the entire staff and pupils of High Halden Primary School.

Plus, the back pages holds a sports story that warms my cockles. When I got involved with the newly formed Ashford United FC I said that getting the youth policy correct was paramount to the club succeeding in the future. Well my prayers were answered and now United are going to merge with one of the best youth set ups in Ashford, namely Ashford Borough, the future is truly bright.

So, today’s randomness (there is always one per show it would seem) was all to do with the name Lionel. After introducing Lionel Ritchie’s ‘dancing on the ceiling’ I merely suggested that I didn’t know many Lionel’s, in fact Lionel Blair was the only one. But I knew I didn’t have to worry because you came up trumps, so we had Lionel Bart (writer of Oliver), Barrymore (who starred as the baddie in its A Wonderful Life), Jeffries (the Granddad in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang) and Messi (you know, that little Barcelona bloke). But the best call was from a lovely lady called Isabelle who had a brother called Lionel Derek Bailey, who is 73 and lives in Bethersden, priceless.  

The ‘intro’ game this week has been songs made famous from films and already we’ve had Steelers Wheel and ‘stuck in the middle with you’ from Reservoir Dogs and we’d kicked the week off with John Travolta and OKJ and ‘you’re the one that I want’ from Grease. Well, today was the brilliant ‘stand by me’ by Ben E King from the film Stand By Me, another classic tomorrow.

On Sunday, because we had to cancel the Kent Charity Challenge, we put in its place a spontaneous pub quiz. You didn’t have to be a pub, but you did need to give yourself a pub name to enter. Well, my old school bud Phil rang in (two days late, he was always a bit tardy) to say that if he could, he’d name his pub The Library, because if the misses rang to ask where he was, he’d tell her he was in the library, hence keeping her quiet, but not actually lying. Tom then rang to say, for exactly the same reason; he’d call his pub The Office. Then we had Wayne saying his would be The Traffic, because once again, if the Mrs rang demanding to know where he was, he simply explains he is stuck in The Traffic. And finally, John (have you noticed, all the calls were men and all to do with them misguiding there other halves) said he’d call his the kennels, so he’d tell her he was going to see a man about a dog. Personally lads, I don’t see why you don’t just lay it on the line for them. Just say you’ve had a tough day at the office, just been to the library, been stuck in the traffic and just off to see a man about a dog at the kennels.

Another stroll down memory lane this morning, it’s good to stretch the ‘old’ legs. How it came around I’ll never know but I got chatting about old game machines. Back in the day and apart from that really strange tennis game we could plug in to our TV (you know the one, you’d have to bat a small square ball back and forth as it sped up the longer the rally went on), Nintendo’s and the like were as futuristic as space travel. There were only two places we could go to find a Space Invaders or an Asteroids machine. One of them was the fish and chip shop called Meal Time which was in the High Street; it’s now The Cod Father. The other one was on the platform at the train station. You’d have to buy a ‘platform ticket’ to get on, and then spend hours and lots of 10p’s trying to beat your own score, simple days, but effective.

My old mate Barry Fuller, the Gillingham captain, will be down at The Chilli Bite in middle row on Saturday, helping sell raffle tickets for a signed Gillingham football shirt with the proceeds going to Demelza House. If you pop in there, they are on sale right now and Barry will be more than happy to pose for a few photographs on Saturday, because that’s just the way he is.

Oh dear, what a nightmare. No more lovely fluffy snowball making snow, just the hard nasty crunchy stuff that is impossible to walk on and black ice absolutely everywhere. No parking outside the office so had to risk the walk down Hythe Road and up Mace Lane. By the time I’d got to the studio, I’d fallen over 27 times (I am of course exaggerating to make the point, it was more like three, but it still really hurt). I would imagine it was quite comical to watch, I just couldn’t get any purchase, even in my winter boots.

Every now and again, a bit of research comes along that appeals to me, generally I reckon they’re a load of old tosh, but I agreed with everything that they came up with on this one. It was a list of things that annoyed our mum’s when we were kids and here is just a few; crumbs in the butter; shoes in the hallway; leaving a tissue in your pocket that messes up everything in the washing machine; overflowing bins; toothpaste in the sink; wet towels on the bathroom floor and topping the list, straight in at number one was clothes dumped NEXT to the washing basket. Guilty on all counts, in fact, still guilty now.

All this week, we are giving away a three course meal for two at Eastwell Manor that can be taken any day AFTER Valentines Day and before the end of March and it had turned out to be very popular. All you have to do is listen out for two ‘love songs’ that we play, identify the artist and the song, call or text and we stick you in the hat. You have three more chances, so good luck, oh and don’t forget, the very popular Free Movie Friday is back. Funnily enough, it’s back on Friday and you can go to the movies for free.

We are approaching another landmark number with out Twitter followers, that landmark being 250. If you become that person, then I’m assured that my friend and colleague, none other than the impressive Ben Watson, will find you something nice and send it to you. You can join by registering at @kirstynandwebbo.
