Who’s enjoying the sudden summer that’s finally appeared this week. Temperatures so hot that the weather men have stated its better to be here than in Greece. Really? We weren’t convinced so we rang a friend who is currently on holiday in Nidri, Greece and asked her, take a listen to our musical reaction:-

If you ever get a chance to visit us in the studios here at Heart, help yourself to some of the chocolate we hide above the left ceiling speaker. It’s gotten to the point that if we don’t hide it, others will steal it. But it seems we aren’t the only ones hiding things around here, have a listen to Michelle; she’s hiding something from her husband:-

It's probably common sense, but don’t mix a two year old with tea bags because the outcome is one big mess. Although I got off lightly as Helen had a packet of crisps emptied in her bed after a manic party and Abi’s puppy got hold of a 2lt bottle of coke, chewed a tiny hole in the cap and then spent all day playing with it, spraying it everywhere!! Have a listen to Vicky from Bretton to the mess her toddler made:-

If you’ve got pets, you are probably as crazy about them as we are about ours. We all speak to our animals, but do they understand us?? Sam in Yaxley thinks her cats understand her and has already tried to make money out of them:-

So it's exam time for lots of students at the moment. Not really much fun, that is until you look through some of the really funny (but wrong) answers on some SAT papers. Check out some of our favourites, all genuine answers from pupils. They didn’t pass the exam but they did make us laugh.

Sometimes it’s the silly things that excite us the most, like getting a new vacuum cleaner!! Especially one that has 340 Air Watts – we had no idea what that means but it sounded impressive and figured we could probably suck someone’s sock off with it … which is exactly what we set out to do.

On today’s show we discussed the things that keep us awake at night. Kev has the noisiest fridge in the world and the extractor fan flaps that bang with the wind keep me awake. So what gives you sleepless nights? Kerry from Godmanchester was often woken up by a dinosaur, have a listen:-

You’ve heard the saying, ‘what’s yours is mine and what’s mine is mine’ and that certainly seemed to be the case on this mornings topic. There are some things that we just don’t want to share with the other half, because they’ll ruin it or waste it and generally not appreciate it as much as us. A great example came from Michelle in Cambridge :-

Tuesday 8th May 2012

Would you dare do your best celebrity impression to the very talented Jon Culshaw???!! Kev thought it would be a good idea to showcase our rubbish impressions to see what he thought; I don’t think he felt threatened in any way. Hear some of John Culshaws best impressions as he talks to us on the show this morning:-

Most of us at some point have accidentally walked into someone, but Kev and his mate took this to a whole new level when his friend walked straight into a NUN and knocked her over, Of all the people to take down!!

Today we were urging everyone to GET IT OUT!! All those things that haven’t seen the light of day for a long time, because its too precious, too expensive or you’re just keeping it for best. Ive got a bracelet Ive never worn because I’m so scared of losing it and my mum has plastic keyboard cover for her computer. We asked Christina from Wisbech what she was too scared to use and enjoy:-

Prince William and Kate Middleton

Friday 27th April 2012

Today we were getting out our fine china ready to celebrate Kate and Will’s first wedding anniversary and asking what’s happened in our lives over that past year. After all, Kate’s life must have changed no end what with all those butlers, security guards and personal appearances; but what about us normal folk? Debbie from Stamford had seen some major changes in her life over the past 12 months, have a listen :-

Cats and Dogs

Wednesday 25th April 2012

I’ve just been attacked by a neighbour’s cat!! It came into the house and as I was opening the front door he scratched and bit me. So we were asking for your stories on the show this morning and it appears most of us at some point have been scared, chased or attacked by an animal. Whether it was nibbled by a goat or chased by swans there was something we all agreed we were scared of, have a listen to Jules from Whittlesey:-

Over 900 million people now use Facebook, but it seems most of us have at least one little niggle about the social networking site. Some of us hate all the game requests, the constant notifications when other people who you don’t even know comment on a comment you’ve commented on! And those people that use song lyrics as their status updates need de-friending. So what annoys you about Facebook?? Maybe it’s the same as Julie from Whittlesey:-

As over 37,000 people took part in the London Marathon yesterday, we were dead impressed with our Adam from Royston who came 18,330th!! It got us onto the subject of celebrating the non winners. Including Hilary from St Ives who inspired us to do the Race for Life even though she came LAST!

Are you guilty of Theft by Finding?? If you found a ten pound note in a car park would you hand it in? I found one, and spent it!!

Ever wondered what a TV Theme Tune cover band would sound like?? Coz today we decided to have a go, as Andy from Peterborough tried to teach us how to play the keyboard. As I can only play Last of the Summer Wine on the recorder that’s the theme tune Kev tried to learn. I don’t think we’d earn much money busking with it, have a listen as see how much you’d throw in the hat.:-

Do you know what Olly Murs and Daniel Beddingfield have in common? They can both Beat Box amazingly well!! If its something you’ve ever tried you’ll realise its harder than it looks and sounds, especially if you don’t want to cover your co-host in spit!!

It’s always good to learn new skills and everyday this week we’ve been trying to do exactly that. If you’ve ever watched Pop Star to Opera Star you’ll probably be under the same impression as us, that I can’t be that hard?! Well, Bonnie, the professional Opera singer and teacher called the show to teach us a bit of Ava Maria (if you’ve got ear plugs I suggest you use them before listening):-

People say you can’t teach an old dog new tricks, and this week and are proving that saying to be correct. I tried to teach Kev to wolf whistle with his fingers but so far he’s just blowing hot air without a sound, and today he tired to teach me something he’s good at, Keepie Uppies with the help of an expert. Having never been good with a football, you can probably guess the outcome:-

Did you know that the expiry date on a packet of crisps is always a Saturday?? This was just one of Kev’s useless facts, so we were all searching our cupboards for crisp packets to check the expiry date, it was true for the one packet we managed to find at work, but Amanda from Dogshorpe begged to differ.

Ros's Fennel

Tuesday 6th March 2012

Kev was amused today after I pulled out a Fennel from my handbag, I don’t usually carry around vegetables but it was sent to us to support Veggie Month and I hadn’t taken it out of my bag. Just like most of us I don’t empty my bag very often and find all sorts left in there, so we asked if anyone could beat a vegetable in their bag. We were surprised to hear Lucie had a urine sample in hers and Gemma had 2million Lira, only it was old Lira and not worth anything. It’s a good job Michelle was listening because we reminded her of something she had in her bag, click the audio to find out what:-

We got a little over excited today in the studio, as it’s traditionally the only day where the ladies can ask their man to marry them. We took a call from Bridget from Huntingdon, whose man was listening in the car on his way to work and she had a question to ask. Admittedly her question wasn’t what any of us were expecting…..but I can tell you we found out later, the answer was YES!!

Oh what fun it is to work with Ros. After discovering that women on average have 9 bras that they never wear, my lovely colleague decided to pluck three of her ‘never wear bolder holders’ for me to pose in for a FB pic!
Happy to oblige of course (I can promise that I do not spend my weekends wearing ladies underwear) – see the photo and read peoples comments on our FB page… and here's the moment that I tried them on….

If you have pets, you’re probably as crazy about them as we are about ours. So crazy in fact that we asked the question: If your pet had a job, what would it do? Kev’s dog Duffy is excellent with kids, playful and good with the roads, so she’d make a perfect Lolly Pop Lady or Deputy Manager at a playgroup!! My cat would make a great solider as he’s always getting down low on the ground and staking the place out, plus he has black camouflage stripes under his eyes. And if you think this couldn’t get any crazier, hear what other people said about their pets:-

This year is the 30th anniversary of the Secret Diaries of Adrian Mole. So we got talking about diaries and if it was ever a good idea to keep one. My Mum would always snoop for information when I was a teenager so I never kept one, although now I’d love to be able to giggle over some of the childish thoughts and worries I had back then and who I fancied at school. Lots of you had kept diaries but after we spoke to Shelley she put me off for life:

Today we had a Flip Off as its Pancake Day. Kev cheated by bringing in a really heavy pan for me and a light-as-a-feather pan for him, so guess who won?! I went for the double handed holding pan approach whilst Kev remained clam and steady using just a flick of the wrist. Unfortunately no one wanted to eat mine after I’d flipped it as it didn’t end up back in the pan. Let’s hope your pancakes have a bit less fluff on them. Ros x

Christina Aguilera Fake Tan

Don’t you just hate those moments in life when you find yourself saying ‘oh, why didn’t somebody tell me?’

On the show today we were talking about what a mess Dad’s make when they are in charge of the dinners.
One Dad even blended up sausages and served it with potatoes. Kev’s dad used to make cheap meat lasagne and put crisps and cucumber in it – how random, not that my dad was any better he tried to make us a microwave meal once but read the ‘FROM FROZEN’ times, so it ended up exploding.

Prince Charles and Camilla are coming to Cambridge today ahead of the Queens Diamond Jubilee, so we were asking today do you have any official Royal Memorabilia or commemorative tat as we liked to call it.

Most of us had coins and plates from the Silver Jubilee as well as the royal wedding with Charles and Diana, but Kim from Huntingdon even had a jigsaw puzzle commemorating Charles and Camilla’s wedding which had the first and wrong date on it!! We guess that probably won’t be worth as much as the one with the correct date.

But with all this Queens Diamond Jubilee business we thought we’d make our own advert to celebrate the occasion.
