Last Night at The Frog And Fiddle

So I was up at the Frog and Fiddle pub last night doing my first show on Wednesday. It was mega weird because it wasn't until Monday that I found out I was on-air from the pub.

Starting off the day I went to uni about 12:15. In fact i was supposed to be there at 12:15 so arrived half an hour late. I'd been trying to make a little feature thing for class and kinda left it to the last minute. I got there in the end and it got played. It got lots of laughs :P but I'm not sure whether that's because it was actually funny or whether the quality was so messed up, but i think it was pretty good. There was a lot of things people didn't notice like how hard it must have been to edit the background noise in a pub with huge acoustics and music from their system.

Anyway I had some business to attend to. At this point I would like to say that I have been advised to no longer mention my court case by my solicitor so... uh yeah. And then had some fun with Robin and Jelmer having a drink and playing on pool/video game in the Uni bar.

Jelmer left and i got Robin and I another drink, and Robin wanted so relax before he had to go to the debate thing he does and I wasn't sure what was going to happen but I thought a bit of Dutch courage would help. Jelmer wasn't around so I thought we could have a few drinks so i got some shots.

Someone behind me said "You're starting early" (It was about 5pm) so I said "Yeah, I'm getting ready for later" and took the shots back to Robin along with his pint. Jelmer showed up and Robin only wanted 1 shot so we all gulped them up and had some more chats about stuff.

Anyway it was frog time so after we all disbanded I left to get home, shower and get out again. I got there about 8-ish and had abnout 4 double JDs and pepsi. Thing is this alcohol doesn't seem to have an effect any more but just made things a tad easier as far as socialising would go - So i didn't go all quiet like normal - and I had to interview people so figured that just enough would loosen me up a bit. I'm rubbish at interviews anyway. I started a little early. The first act - i couldn't remember the name. This wasn't because of alcohol, I have a form of Dyslexia which means if I don't write the name down or keep it in my head over and over i forget. The guys name was Alex - Alex... uhhh... well this was the problem. It was something like Mohogany. I could not pronounce his last name for the life of me no matter what i tried. So instead i brought this up in the interview and my co-hosts were not speaking at this point.. Until I asked co presenter (Alex Jones) if he had questions - I went blank with questions.

The second interview went even more disastrous... guess who I was interviewing **flashback** "You're starting early". Back to planet earth - DARN IT! and he even mentioned it on air - my alcohol consumption for the day! Thanks!. It was all good fun though. Anyway we had a power failature half way through the interview because Jack (The guy in charge of technical stuff for the say tripped on a power lead. Anyway we came back on air and finished the interview which i thought was pretty funny from everyone and then it finished up.

Anyway i will try and do another update later as im off to catch a train to Swindon. Laters yoooooooooo
