Me, Cool Edit, Media UK and nothing to do at 1 in the morning. Where's the third person in that? Or are you presuming things again.

You have a PM - any concerns I had have been cleared up between me and DAS.

Yeah, Steve England's the best in the business IMO. Also did a great similar-sounding package for Fusion Radio/Rugby FM.

I haven't edited this clip in any way.

ROFL!

The funniest thing I've heard in quite a while at this hour!

Good to see you haven't got rusty at newsgathering since leaving Coventry though James

Oh you're just a big anorak aren't you DAS! But very good jingles, I must admit...and thank you for the kind comments.

I'm just good, but too good that no-one would dare put me to air.

Apart from if you're in Chamberlain Square, Birmingham at around 11am tomorrow.

I'm still dissapointed you didn't join Source FM while you were at Cov though - even though you were busy with your other love, Safeway - imagine, the James Ison and Martin show...

BTW DAS - You'll redeem yourself if you take the piss out of the computer science guy.

Hmmm yeah. Ison would be the one everyone loves because he's so down-to-earth and doesnt sound like he's having sex with his mic.

You, however..... :roll:

Maybe you'd like to offer me some proper constructive criticism James and James then - it'd be much appreciated!

I'll tell you why I left it out - I couldn't work out whether he was genuine or a copy of that bloke of Duncan Wilson's Late Show on SBN. If he's genuine, I feel quite sorry for him that he'll never ever kiss a girl.
