On Janice Long's (midnight to 2am) show on BBC radio 2 - Keith Chegwin (Janice's brother) is to be the Norwegian entry at Eurovision.... she had Keith on singing bits of the song and everything...lol...

and this morning on Clyde 1 (local radio station, favoured by builders) a statue of Susan Boyle is to be erected outside the Scottish Parliament

Missed radio 4s but last year it was a good one about monkeys plotting to escape from a zoo. :lol:

And let us be kind
Let us be silly and free
It won't make us famous
It won't make us rich
But damn it how happy we'll be!

My favourite one of all time is the vintage BBC b&w footage of the spaghetti trees and the bumper harvest.

At work today we had an e-mail telling us not to use the loos as they were blocked. Sadly it wasn't a joke after all.

I didn't see much going on here, although when I told my hubby I was planning a friday daytrip with sophie, i did have to explain to him that no, it was not an april fool's joke, yes i was actually taking sophie on a day trip and yes it would involve a boat on the thames.
