We are back...

Big John @ Breakfast is back from our holidays.
Tomorrow another kid from South Yorkshire is gonna ‘Learn me some brains’. They give me 3 facts, one is made up, and I have to pick the lie. So far it’s 2-2. This is the decider, no pressure then in getting it right. 

AND on Thursday… Big John has some MASSIVE news for South Yorkshire at 8… Ooooow exciting!


Thursday - 8am - Big Announcement on Hallam FM by BigJohnHallamFM

Diamonds, Farmers and Jack Dee

Well I don’t know about you, but I’m blummin glad it’s Friday. I’m shattered. We had a week off last week, a full week has killed me. A lay in tomorrow me thinks, whoop!

We had loads of calls helping with my Friday Questions. Thanks you lovely people. You helped me with..

QUESTION 1: What are diamonds? Ian from PA Jewellery in Commonside helped. I know they are pretty and I want a princess cut one, when my fella proposes, but what are they? Ian told me Diamonds are crystallised forms of carbon, and you can’t find them in Europe. Boooo!
QUESTION 2: When farmers are on their tractor and drop bits of hay off the back, do they have to go back and pick it up? Farmer Rob from Hooton Roberts said apparently not, they just leave it. One word… Littering!
QUESTION 3: Did Jack Dee win Celeb Big Brother a couple of years ago? Yes, he did. I’ve won that argument with my boyfriend, he said he didn’t. Ha! Other winners… Mark Owen, Bez, Chantelle Houghton, Shilpa Shetty, Ulrika Jonsson, and Alex Reid.


Did you see the spider that Big John caught yesterday, it was huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge!!!





Have a lovely weekend peeps x

I'm alreeeeet

It’s The Kids 2- Me 2 on the challenge, ‘Learn Michelle some Brains’. 
11 year old Millie from Dinnington challenged me today. She gave me 3 facts, one was a fake, I had to pick the fake. I could kick myself… I knew the answer but stupidly picked the wrong one.
Millie said…


80% of pictures online are of naked ladies.
The sun loses 360million tonnes of itself every year
Mick Hucknalls Dad invented Tipp-ex


I said Millie was fibbing about the pictures online, obviously it was Mick Hucknalls Dad, he didn’t invent Tipp-ex! She won.

Also this morning…


She's alreeet. by BigJohnHallamFM

MMMs News

Did you hear my exciting news this morning? I’m having a baby! Yey! Me and Stuie are very excited. Sorry about the tears, I haven’t told anyone without crying, blummin hormones!


Michelle's news.... by BigJohnHallamFM

Draco Malfoy sings???

Did you hear this song this morning?

One of the main characters in Harry Potter has a song out, Tom Felton who plays Draco Malfoy has done this what do you reckon?



Big John thinks it’s rubbish but the more I listen the more I like it!

Its called 'Hawaii', he’s hinted in the past he wanted to get into music, he signed a record deal with an independent label last year.


Also this morning, I let myself down. Little Alex from Woodthorpe fooled me in ‘Learn Michelle some brains.’ She gave me 3 facts, one of them made up. She fooled me, apparently footballers DO run on average 6 miles during a match, Scuba Divers CAN’T trump when they get to 33ft under water, and you DON’T lose more body heat out of your head. I thought you did. Well done Alex for fooling me.

A show for Grace

Do any of these things strike a chord with you? 



For Baby Grace in Woodseats born today. These were our pleasures.... by BigJohnHallamFM

Care Bears - Care-a-Lots Birthday!

On Thursday we celebrated our youngest listener: baby Grace from Woodseats was born just after 6am, and it got us wondering - What will Grace never experience that we did?

Natalie called, she said new listener Baby Grace will never experience the Care Bears! I loved them!! Remise with me...




Other things you suggested…taping songs off the radio… 2p bus fares… Top Of The Pops… Rewinding a video… Looking for facts in a library… The rag and bone man… TV’s without remote controls...


What would YOU tell Grace about from your younger days?



Today by BigJohnHallamFM

I'm on a roll...and need your help

Second week running I beat the kid on 'Learn Michelle some brains'. I is brainy you know! You can't catch me out. (Muahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!) Kayleigh from Shiregreen still won cinema tickets for her and the family to go to the Cineworld. If you think you can fool me, all you need to do, is give me 3 facts BUT one will be false, I have to pick the false one.

If you want to play (under 13s only) send Producer James an email james.crookes@hallamfm.co.uk

These are celebrity looks I'm thinking of, what do you think?

Kirsten Dunst

Beyonce

Pamela Anderson

Angelina Jolie

Kate Moss

Nadja Auermann

Katie Holmes

Ummmmmmm??? Which one should I go for???

Bad times...

I got put in the naughty book twice this morning, firstly because I said the word beginning with ‘K’, that means your tired. I don’t think that’s bad? Then I told Big John and Producer James what happened at the petrol station on Saturday. The man behind me shouted 'fanny!' He'd just put diesel in his unleaded car, Bad times... Apparently I can’t say the word ‘Fanny’ either, but that’s what the man said!

Over the weekend, Hallamster made his own little conveyor belt, like the Generation Game with Brucie had, but that shows wasn’t made with yogurt pots, old tights and a blow torch…dangerous! Bekky Hopworth from Bolton on Dearne played his game, guessing what he put on, she won £500 to spend in Currys. You can play tomorrow after 8.30am.


Also this morning…


Relephant - £500!!! by BigJohnHallamFM

This week we learnt...

This week Will Young caused a full evacuation of Hallam FM when he set off the smoke alarms. We learned that 1.2 billion people still go the loo OUTSIDE. And Hallamster had a spot of bother with his ice cream van – he thinks it might be the clutch.

Next week – Win £500 EVERY SINGLE morning to spend in-store at Currys PC World in Parkgate – and Hallamster will tell you how after 8 on Monday morning…



Go Down In History by BigJohnHallamFM

Little Fibber...

Did you see us in ‘The Star’ yesterday??? Oooops, Look…
I shocked myself this morning, Big John and Producer James tried to ‘learn me some brains’. But I got the answer right. Little 9 year old Mel from Belton gave me 3 statements, 2 were true, 1 was false. Could you pick out the fibber…

1.2 million people in the world still poo outside
Dogs have about 10 vocal sounds, cats have over 100
To become an astronaut, you must have registered your interest before your 18th birthday, so NASA can monitor your growth.


What do you reckon? Which would you have picked??? Scroll down for the answer.

Did you hear the song Big John 'found' on the internet for the feature 'Let's learn Michelle some brains'?



Learn Michelle Some Brains by BigJohnHallamFM
























ANSWER to above question.

FALSE: To become an astronaut, you must have registered your interest before your 18th birthday, so NASA can monitor your growth.
So it’s true about people pooing outside and dogs only having 10 vocal sounds. Who the eck poo’s outside?!?!? Come on… own up!

Top summer tune, what's yours?

I’m a little bit worried about tomorrow, Big John and Producer James are getting kids to teach me some brains! I’m scared.

If your kid is chatty and wants to come on Big John @ Breakfast and test me, nominate them by emailing Producer James. james.crookes@hallamfm.co.uk

We managed to get through a show without fire alarms being set off which was quite an achievement after yesterday. No cakes or candles or any food… is allowed in the studio ever again.

What did you make of my South Yorkshire Summer Song at 7.20? DJ Sammy, Boys of Summer… Ahhhhhhhh yeah! It reminds me of being 19, driving around in my Vauxhall Nova I called Cassy, with DJ Sammy blaring! From a shower radio I had in my car, cos my radio got nicked! Grrrrr! What’s you top summer song? What makes you go back to that special time? Facebook us and we’ll play it.



What's the ice cream van tune? - 8.30am - Call and win! by BigJohnHallamFM

Fire!

Win tickets to see Britney, in SOUTH YORKSHIRE!

The guy that won Pop Idol 10 years ago joined Big John @ Breakfast but… got us all into trouble! Silly Will Young!

Big John got him a cake (a battenburg from the petrol station, no expense spared), I don’t know where he got the candles from but they were blummin smokey and as a result, Will and his breath and the candle smoke set off the fire alarm… we had to evacuate the building! The technician wasn’t happy! Big John may be sent on a course as punishment. Haha!!!!

Missed it?? Here's what happened...


Fire by BigJohnHallamFM

Drive-By Ice Creams...

Hallamster started his new time of 8.30 for the school holidays this morning, his Uncle Tyrone has an Ice-Cream Van, he was doing drive by ice creams and was kindly hand gesturing how many ice-creams he had left for people to buy. He needs to stock up for tomorrow, he only had 1 left at one point. Well done to Sam Angus for guessing the tune on the ice-cream van was scissor Sisters, Don’t feel like dancing! For guessing that right he gets 4 tickets to see WESTLIFE at the Keepmoat Stadium this Saturday. Whoop!



8.30 - Hallamster by BigJohnHallamFM


Tomorrow on Big John @ Breakfast…

Will Young, who was Pop Idol winner 10 YEARS ago! Flippin eck that’s gone quick. He joins us after 8 tomorrow.

Fatten Up!

Pixie Lott joined us this morning,
She’s very much looking forward to tramlines on Saturday.
Even though she has to share a dressing room with Ollie Murs, (well that’s what Big John told her)

Next week and all summer, Hallamster has got a promotion and will be moving to 830am everyday in his Ice Cream Van, All summer long!


GOSSIP….Have you heard what bosses told Daniel Craig he has to do before he can be James Bond again? He has 8 weeks to put on a stone which he lost for his role in the film ‘Cowboys and Aliens.’

They say he’s too scrawny now. He starts filming the first bits of James Bond in November and they want him back with a six pack, looking as toned as he did in those swimming trunks in Casino Royale. The film is due out next October.

Big John got very excited about the prospect of having to put on a stone and decided Kit Kats were a possible way to do it in 8 weeks. Your ideas involved sausage butties, lasagne for breakfast and cheese and onion crisp sandwiches! Nice!



Hallamster makes an important announcement by BigJohnHallamFM

Your Wedding, Your rules?

Big John got all emotional this morning, he nearly cried over his daughter. He saw pictures yesterday of a baby swim class but she looked really scared! It took him back to when he was younger and how much he was frightened of water. Ahhhhh bless!

In what are the rules, Keeley from Bramley asked for our and your help, she asked… ‘Can you ask your fiancés best man to get a hair cut before your wedding?’ what are the rules? Will he spoil the pics? Should she not be bothering with little things like that? Would you have the bottle to say something? Join the debate on Facebook.

Congratulations to 14 year old Olivia Wildsmith from Richmond- Her Dad won Ticket Tuesday for her. She gets to see The Wanted and JLS at Party in the Park in Yorkshire VIP styleeeeee. What a good Dad.

Tomorrow: Pixie Lott joins us ahead of her gig at Tramlines on Saturday. 



Pixie by BigJohnHallamFM

The Wanted are WANTED

‘The Wanted’ were certainly ‘wanted’ by their fans when they came into the studio to see Big John @ Breakfast, Look at all these ladies waiting for a cuddle…

As always 'The Wanted' were their lovely self's but in a little bit of a cheeky mood! They are a rite boisterous bunch when they want to be, drawing on each other, putting each other in headlocks, calling each other names.


We tried calling a superfan of The Wanted... BUT...


Epic Fail by BigJohnHallamFM


THIS Ticket Tuesday it's... The Wanted & JLS!

We're giving away VIP treatment for 4 at the Party In The Park gig in Yorkshire on Sun 31st July! How to enter.

Eastenders complaints...

Complaints have been made about Eastenders, last Thursdays episode annoyed a lot of people, if you watched it, were you left feeling a bit sea sick?

People have actually complained of motion sickness after some shaky camera-work. On the scene where Christian and Zainab were arguing, the camera did wobble a bit, it had strange camera angles in comparison to normal EastEnders scenes. Do you care?

Wag? A compliment?

Tomorrow on BJ@B...

THE WANTED!!!

EXCITING by BigJohnHallamFM


We were asked this morning by Natasha, is it a compliment when someone says...'You'd be a good wag!'. Oooooow, what do you think? Mixed opinion from you on the text.
